Nice
I'm sure your mpgs went down some but is it noticeable?

I have a 3.5” Superlift. 3 MPG drop because of the tires. I ran the stock ones with the lift for about a year with no change in MPG.

TOYO AT/2 305/55/R20
Maverick Ultra Wheels +18 offset (Didn’t come in 0 offset unfortunately, which is what I would have liked). Rubs only the sway bars on full lock. 0e153a0a7b8ccb4e8b0b7f0dd5dca41f.jpg6f78326d1136f71090467f0ad7d73fe4.jpgf52951306bc9725f6dec1d82c36adaf0.jpg

I put BFG’s KO2’s on my 16 Duramax and noticed 5 plus mpg drop.

Put BFG’s KO2’s on my new 18 Sierra 1500 Z71 CrewCab with 6.2, 2” front level, 1” rear level and returned immediately after I got on the highway and saw 4 mpg drop so I went with Michelin Defenders one size taller from stock and now get approx 21-23 Highway mpg’s. AT tires weigh much more requiring more power to accelerate and to stop. a4eb18c1db9c5665777db194ae46535e.jpg

Only one problem I forgot to note, even though I’ve got the 2 1/4” front level and 1” rear I’m still getting rub on upper control arm when I turn full turn with only one size bigger. I’m looking into switching from 275/60/20 to a 285/55/20 and see if that’ll take care of the rubbing on full lock and if not I may be getting some new rims which I’m not looking into doing at all cause first off I love my 20” chrome GMC wheels and second I’ve got zero idea of styles other than stock factory wheels. I know definitely chrome but what style, Lol OCD on wheels

2017 elevation, 2 inch drop shackles/block removed, ordering Bell Tech drop struts for the front, I would like the front  down  1.25 inch ....rear has settled a bit since this photo.

BFG KO2's, OEM size, never noticed MPG loss....partially because I do not pay attention to it...

I think next move will be an Iron Cross low profile bumper, powder coated white.

It’s about time I see a summit White truck with chrome bumpers and not everything whiteout. I’ve been looking into new rims, worried about getting chrome cause eventually they start to peel. It’s hard to see what my exact truck as yours would look like with black wheels, thank you for posting. What’s your wheel and tire setup and do you have any rubbing?

Here’s mine without the new wheels and still debating 4cfec5bcd9f13e8b50bf11bf731c0120.jpg

    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
