2014 SLT

I ran that size in Cooper Discoverer ATs for 3 weeks before getting my Billstein shocks put on and leveled.

It does rub at full lock up and when you go in reverse but only thing that rubs against is the fender lining.

Mine still rubbed a bit after the level. I trimmed them down soon after.

Did it rub before or after Bilstein's? Or both?. Only had to ziptie liner? I think the 2016+ with stamped steel UCA is a concern, where the UCA is a bit wider.

Rubbed more stock, rubbed some after level but then again I'm not sure about the layer design of the control arms. Mine is 2014

I run 275/60R20 BFG All Terrains with no rubbing anywhere... the truck should have come this way from GM. I lost right at 2 mpgs with the added weight going from the 265/65R18 Goodyears but I don't regret it a bit.

Thanks everyone! I'm ordering the 275/60-20's soon! 

I spent way too long trying to figure out the best front level kit, but if I can run those without any at all, i'm very happy with that! 

 

Mostly a city truck, but we do have plans for some slight off roading in Colorado soon, so I don't want to be mad when I get there and my Z71 can't handle it. (The 275/55-20's on her now are NOT all terrains)

Got a side pic of the truck?....interested to see how it looks.....those the Bilestein adjustable shocks in the front to level it out?

Yes, at top notch which I think is just about 2 inches eb01581579acda969181437a6ec2455e.jpg7b0a4812b0189bbad00b709e4687cc07.jpg0f6babd5b747fe803a7f5027bd488c1a.jpg

You should be able to run max 275/60/20 without leveling. Leveled 2016-2018) will require new wheels with different offset but my neighbor is running that size stock. Leveling will make it worse cause of your stamped steel uca’s. I’d have the tire store like discount tire test it after install to make sure you’ve got no issues. Good luck

      Fluid Change Questions

      I know; crap pictures.   Anyway, as a finale of sorts to this thread, I had replaced both differential covers and since they had the capability of adding temperature probes, I did that. These are MaxTow analog/digital gauges with stepper motors. They'll flutter around like crazy for a moment and start at a nominal 100 degrees Fahrenheit.   I drove a 30-mile loop to the grocery store, averaging 70 MPH (as much as 80 to see if there was a quick spike in temperature. The air temperature is 102 (ambient ?). but the first pic is 7 miles into the trip. The second is getting back into the truck after leaving the store; differential temperatures dropped about three to four degrees in 15 minutes. The third pic in on the road to my house, about a mile away.   In that run, I saw a high of 150F on the rear differential, and 121F on the front. I'm sure a longer drive or towing will see higher than that, and when that happens, I can update the observations.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Fully warm, coolant temp >194, closed loop.   Run time can be anywhere from just reached operating temperature to having driven 30+ miles.   The O2 chart (which is a feature I just discovered after reading) for the bad idle seems to be "most" of the time. For the little time I've been watching it (scanning and driving! watchout!) I can't seem to isolate any cause or condition yet.   It definitely idles rougher sometimes than others and so far what I've seen is the rougher idles are always rich. But not enough to set a CEL.   In other news I replaced the starter solenoid. Everything on this truck is such a PITA. Starter "snout" is mangled up with the torque converter inspection cover which is tangled up with hard cooling lines and the driveshaft. But I got 'er done without too much swearing...I just go into everything now knowing it's going to be a frustrating mess.   The starter solenoid replacement kicks off the next round of work: AC, injector rebuild, cat, exhaust. I'm just going to do it all. But first:   I don't know what my fuel pressures are. I can't definitively say the issue is the injector without first verifying fuel pressures and any leakdown. I "rented" a test kit ($199.99 at O'Really's ...intentional misspelling). They don't "rent" tools anymore, they charge you for the tool and then you return it when you're done. No joke. It is listed as a rental on the receipt but the guy told me there's no difference between renting and buying  now, you just return it when you're done and they refund the credit card. Mmmkay, whatever.   I will rule out fuel pressure issues (too much), and any leaking (that's how I'll know the problem is inside the intake). I think someone said the return line could be plugged or not flowing and that could cause high fuel pressure (and too much fuel being pushed through injectors). I'll cross that bridge if I get high readings.   As of now I'm ready to tear off the intake cover, extract the injector, and have it sent off to be rebuilt just so I can rule that out.

      What are the conditions of this rich idle? Warm or cold engine? Run time? Does every idle look like this or only sometimes?
