Looks good! How is the power with the bigger tires? I can’t decide between a few different tires with a size of 275/65/20 or 285/65/20, and I’m worried how the 5.3 8 speed will handle the heavier tire. 

Both those sizes I believe are LT tires too. So yes performance will hurt.

Handles it just fine in my opinion, love the 8 speed.  My other vehicle is a '16 Z06 so I know what power is and the Silverado is plenty fast when u want to get up to speed or get around a Ford truck getting in your way, lol.  Of course it's all subjective to each person.  This truck was a replacement for a '17 silverado with the 5.3 that was not lifted and had stock tires and rims and I could not tell u the new one feels slower because of the bigger rims and tires, feels just fine ?

Hahaha! I was assuming I’d probably feel the same way, so it’s good to hear I don’t really need to worry about power loss in my situation. Thanks!

I wouldn't think you would, before test driving it I was worried about that same thing and then when I went for the test drive I was pleasantly surprised.

Truck looks awesome bro !!  Black & red combo goes very well imho.  To the earlier poster, to each their own.  I like both chrome and black rims.  They each have their application but again everyone has there own taste... Cheers ?

Sure will, I'll post up some of that and the seats.  Did a solid black seat with the 4 wing spots in red.  Going to look amazing!

Hate to ask this in here but this thread gets alot of action and technically I am asking for a picture, lol.   Could someone post pictures of the version screens (there is a few) for there radio that has the IOR version, this is the cheesy version that does not have the climate control app?  Thanks guys. 

P.S. the truck is at the dealer getting the AMP power steps installed, woooohoooo!

Thrilled to now own this beauty. No immediate big plans, just happy to have a new vehicle, as my 20 year old jeep has had enough.

Congrats on the new LTZ!

You are going to love them. Amp steps are a must for a lifted truck especially when you have kiddos. Mine have worked perfectly since I installed them.

    • Which one, the AT or AS?   Starfire is made by Cooper/Goodyear but at $85/tire I'd think I'd need to level-set my expectations that they may not even be round 😉 But you're saying they're decent?   I'm already into this thing $1506 in parts, fluids, etc. Totaled all my receipts today. $250 of that was replacing an EGR and MAP sensor that were probably fine, but I'm not going to return the parts since they've been installed. I'm cheap, but not that cheap. I use it, I keep it!   I may or may not make money if I sell the truck at this point, but, that wasn't really the point. And if I billed my time, I'd be hosed for real. My thought on the tires is I "might" put 1,000 miles on before selling it. I just don't want to put absolute junk on it, that doesn't do anyone any good. If the Solus solidly isn't junk, I'll definitely consider them.        
    • I leave mine as is. I'm always a trip away from riding on unpaved roads. Dealer can clean it when they prep it after I trade it in for another new truck.
    • I have these on two vehicles and love them. Pepper is one of them 😉 
    • 4WD. Far as I know it came stock with P's and not LT's. Definitely planning to put P's on it, but stock is a 109 XL load rating so I should probably stick within that guideline.   No rebates on anything I can see at the moment. Discount Tire is offering $50 off, but Pep Boys is very competitive on price, and also carries all the off-brand stuff. Les Schwab always wants an arm/leg, but they do good work.   It still has the original spare. Goodyear Wrangler RT/S, thing looks like a tractor tire LOL!! How times have changed.    
    • 2020 Sierra 2500 HD (base model) gas engine 4wd.    All 4 windows roll down on their own. Happens somewhat randomly after stop and engine off - when engine turned off, when walking away from vehicle before or after locks activated. Pulled the window fuse F14 Instrument Panel Fuse Block Right; the driver's side still activates from driver's side door panel; passenger and back seat windows activate from local switches on their doors but not from driver's side group of switches. Power mirrors don't activate with fuse removed either (same fuse for both circuits). Problem not solved.    How can they even activate with fuse removed but they are all still opening and can control from each door?  When they open on their own, I can shut them from the switch in each door, but they don't stay closed.    Seems to be activated somehow with key fob; something bumping the key fob in my pocket or just handling - removed key fob and took it far enough away and now the windows stay closed. Replaced key fob batty just in case, no change.    Sounds like some kind of wiring short or maybe electronics. Dealer will first replace electronic control module without checking anything else and I anticipate problem will still exist since their troubleshooting skills are limited to "do whatever the computer says".  In any case, keyfob seems to be activating the circuitry.    Surely I'm not the only one with this issue, but I can't find anything related on the site. What do yall think?   JohnRoy
