I don't think a 10 inch lift is ever a good idea but buy a Ford, much cheaper to lift than a GM truck.

I was think maybe 8inch it save me money. Some fords look silly lifted

Why 10 inches? What is your goal with a 10 inch lift? I have an 8 inch. Or 7.5 as rough country states. When I bought it it had 38x15.50 on it. I down sized to a 37x12.50. It's plenty big. I'm not sure why going to go with 10.

sounds high, but cognito is not cheap and that high is very expensive

Thats good to know. I am just trying to shop around. I wanna do 22×14 idk tires yet. But I am trying figure out how high is to high. I think getting that 10 inch now will break the bank

 

Ever heard of mcgaughys? Or something like that

I have 20x10 with 2 inch wheel adaptor. That was with the 38x15.50. I'm going to be going to a 22x12 with 37x13.50. And get rid of the adaptor. The wheels and adaptors were on it when I bought it. I thought it was just a spacer till I took the tire off. It's an adaptor from 8x180 to 8x170.

You can do a 7.5 inch with 35s or something should clear. Mine is trimmed a little on the bumper and the inner fender.

I'm not fond of the spacers. I don't like them. I don't trust them. But sadly I don't have the money to get rid of them right now. $3000 for wheels and tires. My trucks got the 7.5 inch rough country kit. It's not bad. It doesn't ride all that bad. I did add a steering stabilizer to it. I also will be doing new heavy duty tie rods. Also wanna swap the shocks out to fox shocks.

      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.
