Nice ride. What’s the tire size? Block in the back?

Thanks,

No block in the rear. Just a 2 inch leveling kit in the front and 275/60/20 KO2's.

You didn’t want the rake in the back? Curious why u didn’t go with the 285/60-20 KO2’s.

Im not a fan of the rear of the truck being higher than the front at all.  I personally like the front and back perfectly level or as close as possible. The 285/60-20 only comes in a E rating and I do not need the tow rating with the way I use my truck...its more of an office on wheels. So I went with the 275 cause of the C rating for MPG reasons. They are quite a few pounds lighter then the E rated tires.

Never understood this. Sure you do. You just do it expecting it to be bad. Tracking fuel mileage can help you plan a budget or it can help you realize an issue with a vehicle. Now getting upset or losing sleep over losing fuel mileage after mods i do agree is useless.

No, I honestly dont. I'm at the gas station alot tho I just top it off whenever I'm around one and pick up a drink and lottery ticket , protien bar etc. I enjoy gas station visits actually. lol. Enjoy all the " Nice Truck!" Comments I guess...

Changing the tire size I would think it going to throw your speedo and odometer off. Would think you need to have recalibrated to the new tire size to be accurate for fuel tracking. Hypertech makes one.

2020 Custom 2wd

2.5” front/ 2” rear Motofab

Stock 20” wheels and tires for now. Would like to go up a little on the tires, maybe a bit wider. Not sure if I want/need spacers and if so how much. Rear wheel well inserts will really help.

 

If I go with spacers with stock 20 inch wheels I wonder how big/wide I can go without rubbing. So many variables to consider...

    • Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/        
    • UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update  
    • GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.  
    • Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.
    • I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
