I don't understand everyone's obsession with Fuel wheels. They're ugly and expensive. I HATE the massive center caps on them so they can sell them as dual bolt patterns to save money.

Is anyone running 305/70R18 with a +1 offset and 5 inch backspace on there setup. I am currently running the stock set up on my 2020 silverado 1500 6.2 Ltz with bilstein 5100 front struts set to max setting got about a 2 inch lift overall set at the max. I was squating in the back so I added a 2 inch block and bilstein shocks in rear. Want to upgrade my wheels and tires now just not sure how big I can go I am willing to to cut some plastic and remove the mud flap bracket but don't want to have to take the crash bar out just yet maybe in the future. I also tow a 8500 lb camper trailer a few times a year I will be getting air bags soon for that.

These tires do not rub with stock trail boss suspension (removed blocks in the rear), and I’m running the Bilstein B8 5100 trail boss struts up front, regular Silverado shocks in the rear. Rides really nice.

 

The tires poke out 2” past a 2” flare. It was either fender lights or flares with more than 3” of protrusion, so thanks, Virginia, I’m running a fender flare instead of a light, because this truck is not a 2500.

Much quieter. I had the 18” Goodyears and they started screaming at 25,000 miles. I’ve put 20,000 on my mickeys and they haven’t worn much, if at all. They’re load range F (12 ply), and I run about 42-44 psi in them.

The M/T Baja Boss A/Ts are a tad bit more expensive than the Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws and the BF Goodrich KO2s, but I’ve had all three. I loved my Falkens, but these Mickey’s are my favorite. KO2’s wear out too fast and cup real easy

i pulled the trigger on the Baja Boss A/Ts since my local AAA shop matched the ebay/discount tire 20% that's currently running. i get them put on early next week. looking forward to the 'quieter' ride.

2019 LT TB. I’ll be riding stock suspension. Read through a lot of the thread here and it seems like I’ll be good with a 18x9 +18 Moto Metal Mo970 and 33x12.50 Ko2s, right? No rub? And if it’s on the flap I’ll just cut some.

How are you liking these?  Loud? Smooth?

    • I have seen different people in different places post different sizes of exhaust as stock for my 2014 Sierra L83. Some say 2.5 some say 2.75. I am considering replacing the muffler with a Dynomax Super Turbo, perhaps 17739.  I had the factory L83 5.3 replaced with another L83 5.3 from Jasper Engines. I also put new Walker Cat / Y pipe on. I would appreciate opinions suggestions about what would be a good muffler setup. My main interest is a low rumble and the best flow / fuel mileage I can get. Not interested in straight through glass packs or loud exhaust. Those days are way behind me now.  Thanks Guys.  
    • Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"     I'd say its the head, and its either leaking at the casting line and dripping down the intake into the cylinder, or its another spot on the casting itself at the cylinder that is getting wet.  
    • Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.    
    • Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!
    • This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
