What size lift did you install on your truck? Also what size tires are those?

 

Its all in the bio but just for clarification i installed a rough country 2" leveling kit (not the 2.5") and i am running 275/70/18 BFG KO2's. I have no rubbing whatsoever and my mileage was not affected too much. However, my speedo is off by 2mph which isn't that big of a deal but it is worth noting.

i got the 2016 of that same truck... wonder what they changed~

 

 

 

i like your bass eating a frog pic man!!!.... i'm a bass fisher myself!

Thanks man! Yea, i roadraced "them damn crotch rockets" for almost 15 years all over the SE and finally gave it up 3 years ago. Started bass fishing a little pond in my neighborhood, got hooked, and now doing tournament fishing with my bro-in-law. I just got too damn old to be falling off bikes. Bass fishing is damn near as much fun and as long as i can keep my BIL from throwing me outta the boat, WAYYYYY safter! haha!

Hi Guys,

 

This is my first post here, so many nice white trucks in this thread. Here's mine, I just picked it up yesterday, so far I have a 2.5" level, 305/55R20 Duratrac's on stock 20's with a 1.5" spacer and the GM Borla exhaust, lovin' the truck so far. Goes for front tint and sunstrip on thursday and airaid mit should be delivered by the weekend.

Thanks,

 

I've since removed the air dam, tinted the front windows to match the back and added a sunstrip, added inchannel window visors, and installed the MIT tube with a k&n drop in, also added a BAK rollx tonneau and added a small subwoofer to flll out the sound a bit more. I've driven it about 12,000km's in the last 2 months, pretty happy with it so far.

    • I do have the 8 speed.  Interestingly enough, after driving my truck for the past 2 days now, I have not had the clunking issue at all!  I am beginning to think it may have been suspension/leaf spring related, and somehow when the shop put my truck on the lift to do their initial inspection, it relieved some built up tension/pressure that was causing my problem.  I swear it felt I was a bull rider on a bucking bull the way the truck would almost rock back and forth slightly before the big thud/clunk when coming to a stop.  I am hoping I got lucky here and it's gone for good.
    • Bring it to discount tire. They do free rotations even if you didn’t buy your tires there. I didn’t believe it until I tried and they did. You can tip the employee if you would like 
    • Best part of this video is how it resets expectations. Wonderfully done piece. It also made clear a few points I've made from day one. Detergent oils DO NOT KEEP A MOTOR CLEAN at the recommended or longer change intervals. They just get dirty slower than a non-detergent oil and there isn't spits difference between them on this point if they carry the DEXOS license. Great thing about the license that gets missed is it assures CONFORMITY even it that means a low bar.    One thing he did not talk about that I paused on an magnified was the condition of the oil ring separator. Besides a stuck ring a plugged separator and land drain back is huge when it comes control. We see in short order improvement in control IF that is the problem.    Another item I took exception to and he did not make plain was the condition of the timing chest and under valve cover having something to do with indicating piston cleanliness. Schaeffer's Oil makes that same omission in their million mile Ford video. I'm guessing he has never torn down a Red Line HP, AMSOIL SS motor that has been on that diet from the get. What he showed in the video was a good deal of varnish. Something totally absent in Peppers 165K cover off look. I smiled because he did his at the same milage.    He also makes the mistake of assuming oil temperatures in the pan are the temperature all over the motor even though he makes note of the piston being the hottest part of the engine. that baffled me a bit.    I can tell you from personal experience and witnessing teardowns of family motors that even oils of the 1960's would keep them squeaky clean when OCI's were 1500 to 2000 miles without exception. At 3K and above you get what he experienced and the longer you leave it the quicker to gets to the junkyard.    I think his is missing a opportunity not tearing it down again when he's done killing it. Time would be his only cost. 
    • Very often the part number on the trim part is just for the vendor order/assembly plant and will not show up in the parts system.  They won't make a bunch of extra parts that were not ordered. Keep in mind, lots of these parts were made to be "just in time" parts meaning they were dedicated to a vehicles ordered and sequenced for assembly.       Also, trim parts will often say, paint to match.
