I ran a 305/55r20 Nitto Ridge Grappler on my factory wheels with a 2"leveling kit, and they rubbed on the sway bar while turning.  If I could do it again, I would have ordered 285/60r20 or 295/55r20, so that it wouldn't have rubbed at all.  Anything bigger will probably rub if you do any type of articulation while turning, such as going up a steep driveway.


This would be my setup, 2.25” front billet aluminum, 1” rear added. 285/60/20 Ridge Grapplers. Had 275/60/20 KO2’s that didn’t rub at all then put on 285/60/20 KO2’s that barely rubbed, now switched out to the Ridge Grapplers and these rub on the outside edge of the tires only rubbing on backups, Ridge Grapplers are larger diameter, 34” X 11.50 X 20

Control arms on the 2017+ apparently get rubbed on

I don't think that is a year thing.  There are 3 types of control arms that come on these trucks.  Mine are stamped steel, and while my tires rub them at full lock it is so little that it took me a few months of checking them before I ever even saw a mark from it.  Don't sweat it so much, not a big issue unless you go crazy with tire size.

He’s correct about the UCA’s late 2015 the trucks went from aluminum to stamped steel. A neighbor has a 14 CrewCab Z71 they didn’t rub when he leveled it but my 18 did, bought new offset wheels and now it’s all good.

Yah my 2017 has the stamped steel control arms, which are exactly the same for late 15’ to 18’

No rubbing? I hear only KO2's in that size won't rub.

Honestly that's what I was banking on.  The only rubbing I've found so far is hard lock to the right it will rub on the inner fender.  Zip tie should work.  I did not put on a level yet either.

Slight rub with NO leveling kit? Interesting....

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      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.
