Where’d you get the fender badge that excludes the engine size? Is it from an elevation? If you have a part number that would be awesome. Truck looks good, don’t see many lowered ones these days.

You are the man! I’m usually pretty good at searching but for the life of me couldn’t find these for some reason. Thanks again!

What are they guys running aftermarket wheels using for TPM sensors? I want to keep the factory ones in my stock wheels for winter. Are any of the aftermarket sensors working with the 19/20 trucks?

Has anyone recalibrated their speedometers after changing wheel/tire diameter?

I have a 2019 Sierra Elevation.  It was a manager’s demo.  Came with levelling kit and 275/65R20 BFG KO2’s on factory Elevation black 20” Snowflake style wheels.  Tires now have a 65 aspect ratio now vs factory 60.  Obviously with the level and slight diameter change there’s no rubbing or anything.

Also thinking about getting a set of dedicated winter wheels and tires.  Probably go 17” or 18” to save some cash but wondering if that’d screw up my speedo and other components on my truck?

How do you like the Coopers? I'm debating between them and the Nitto Ridge Grapplers.

I love them. Minimal to no road noise, great in wet/snow/mud, even wear and great mileage. I rotate every 5-6k miles. For a load range E tire they aren’t as heavy as others either. I’ve ran Coopers on my last three trucks. The last set had over 25k on them and 12/32, before I traded the truck in.  I think I could have easily got another 20-25k out of them.

I don't do any off road driving other than my 1/4 mile long gravel road. Would you recommend either or both of the tires for that kind of driving? We get snow a few weeks a year at our elevation, sometimes 2 feet worth.

Absolutely, the only time I’m off road is during hunting season. I’m on the highway 75% of the time. I’m in Pittsburgh so we don’t see 2 feet of snow, but never had an issue in 6 inches or so.

Around town I’m getting 14 and 18 on the highway, that’s with the larger, heavier tires and leveling kit. I was seeing 16/20 stock. 
 

I took a three hour trip to Harrisburg and peaked at 28.2.

I'm still on my first tank, and looks like I'll get 525 miles on it.  Truck's computer shows best of 28mpg.  I'll calculate it once I get a fill up.

Can you post more pictures of the front. Id like to see the front stance. Trying to get a similar setup but ive seen other trucks that dont look this good with the same rims.

Are those the satin or glossy finish? I was on the fence between fuels or these and your specs just made up my mind. 

Glossy black ? Please give me aside shot if you would.

    • Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.
    • Better than stock but that's like putting lipstick on a pig
    • Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks, 
    • Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.   
    • So, lot's of googling and reading, and a trial fit found, that indeed they hit the newer fatter caliper. I did some re-testing today, and found just 3/16" worth of washers was enough for the wheel to spin freely. I added 2 more on each, and again it spun freely. Tested lock to lock with the 4 washers, about 5/16" not quite the 3/8" Im considering, but pretty close. No issues. I've been looking at the BORA .375" spacers and using extended lugnuts to get back lost thread due to the spacer. All the ET lugs I've seen are all .33" reach inside the wheel lug holes. For those that don't like spacers or think they're unsafe, I think it depends on what type of spacers you're using and making sure you get good quality hubcentric ones, and if you're using bolt on ones, regular mainenance, checking the spacer lugs. Not wanting or needing that much spread. Looking for the minimum that will let me run these rims and tires.  it does look to stick out a little, but I really want put these on. and use the stock all-terrains in the winter.
