Really like your truck, I'm pretty much set on getting bronze NVs as well!  Why did you decide to go with the pro comp front coils instead of Fox to match the rear shocks?

Got a tint done all around:   Having an RC 2" level and new rims/tires put on next week.   After that plans are: put on black GM bowties, black widow muffler and resonator delete, and then after

Got a really good deal on them from a member who got them as a display set, and liked that they were a 2.75" body instead of 2.5". The procomp rears were more expensive so decided on the fox

Love the tire/wheel size and suspension setup on your truck. I'm looking to do something similar on mine.

Added go rhino dominator d6 steps this week, and took it up to the snow to go skiing this weekend. All in all truck is working perfectly with almost 13k miles on the clock now!

No new updates, but I did get to play in the snow up in mammoth a couple weeks ago! Never driven in snow before, was quite the experience.

Nice. How much of a difference in ride quality compared to the Procomps?

Only tested over speedbumps, but so far definitely noticeable. Plusher when it needs to be, but not overly soft. Still need to mess with the compression adjusters

That being said, these cost a little over twice as much as the procomps, so if someone wants a good budget coilover, the procomps are great

Been awhile since I posted something. Not much has changed, only new addition is a roll up bed cover.


Took it out to do some socially distant exploring with my dad and brother today. Kings continue to impress me, doing 50mph down a wash and everything was smooth

Been thinking about new tires lately. Either going with 295/70/17 again, or up to a 285/75/17. Top picks are:

Falken wildpeak at3w
Cooper at3 xlt
Nitto ridge grappler
Maybe ko2s? Still undecided on these

Any opinions, brand or size?

I’ve had the Falken Wildpeaks on stock 18s and my current 315/70/17 K02s. Also running a 285/70/17 KO2 on my wife’s Yukon. The Falkens were a great tire but are little heavy and stiff depending on what size you get. What sold me on the K02s is the size and C rating. Tough sidewall but doesn’t ride like a brick. No complaints with either on wear and performance though.

Yea everything I’ve been looking at is in the 60-65 lb range so I’m expecting that. I have E rated now so I’m used to it riding like a brick. How have the C rating tires been holding up for you? And are they 3 peak rated?

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.

      Checked the pads today and there's plenty of meat on them. If the message keeps coming up, I'll just answer YES that the pads were replaced and wait for the squeal.
