My 2016 Sierra All Terrain with a Traxda 2.5" leveling kit. Stock wheels with 275/60R20 BFG AT KO2's. It looks awesome in my opinion.

We seem to have the same opinion.

I assume that's a knuckle lift and with 18" rims you had to run spacers to keep your rims from hitting the UCAs? Nice truck.

 

 

2.5" RC and 305/50/20 Nitto Terra Grappler G2s

Those wide tires not hitting the UCAs or Sway Bars while turning?

hey guys so I have 17inch stock wheels..i am looking to run a 32inch tire on my truck. My questions (forgive me I am new to owning my own truck) but would I have to recalibrate the gears, speedometer or anything? I have read increasing wheel size can cause certain things to be off...

Don't worry about it...32 is real close to stock size. You will be off a little...check the numbers here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/tirecalc

 

When you start getting to 34+ is when you have to look at regearing and speedo calc.

Interesting...I have 275/65r18 on those same style stockers (+24) and have less than 1/4" clearance at full lock between rubber and my UCAs. I'm not even sure that 285s won't rub.

 

Do you have Amps on the second picture? I like the running board delete look.

That was in between steps. I had just sold my stockers. I now have goRhino RB10s. You can see them in my sig pic.

 

edit: maybe your issue is 18s where I have 20s, I dont know, I just know I don't rub on anything at all full lock....

I can attest to this, it is close but all I rub is the liner slightly when at full lock.

 

2" level, stock wheels, 305/55R20 Nitto Terra Grappler G2.

Word...Doesn't make sense that you (bcbz71) are rubbing the UCA with a 275 unless you have aftermarket UCAs which state not to use stock wheels. Aftermarket UCAs usually need 4.5-5" worth of Backspacing...

 

Long story short it doesn't make sense lol

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
