beautiful truck!

 

today I hauled my first decent load for 150 miles, truck took it like a champ.....my 1500 would have never been able to do it or ride near as nice

 

still waiting for my friggen steps I ordered from real truck though, getting irritated after seeing yours on the truck, lol

Barely able to see in the photo, but added some dog slobber for aero dynamics. Worked well getting the new dining room table home quickly. I know, not much of a load, but it's barely broke in. Co pilots liked the ride.

I really like your truck.  Only thing I would add is front window tint to match the rear.

I did think about doing it but I live in new York and they are anti tinting here so can't match it but I will probably go to the max

on side note the side steps they added to this years model are best thing to happen in truck world, especially tall trucks (and these are).....I use them all the time and friggen love it.....first week I kept stepping on tire because I forgot I even had them, lol....have no idea why they didn't do this 30yrs ago but that's another topic

Well from Amazon it was less than a week. They came in 2 days earlier. Before that i cancelled from real truck . Com after almost 2 weeks and no shipping info delivered to me. Guys charged me 40 bucks to install and steps were 329 on amazon, so i feel it was a great deal.

Do the tires rub at all?

Posted (edited)

Zero rubbing, it is a bit tight at full lock but it does clear.

My slt x31 in pacific blue... only added the ultra hunter 203 wheels so far but will soon be getting a larger tire... thinking 35x11.50x20 ridge grapplers since they measure out little smaller than a 296/65 loving the truck so far.... coming from a 2011 Chevy 2500 gasser....

    • Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
    • I had an alternator fail that was shorted internally in such a direct fashion in addition to the larger gauge cables that it appeared like a VERY dead battery. Granted I think the car did power up, it definitely wouldn't start.   Rodent damage to wiring?
    • ... I don't think he could.
    • Using experience to justify bad advice is lazy and typical of someone incapable of articulating why their advice is prudent.    This immediately sets off the BS alert and the advice that followed certainly qualified.   Asking an idiot for help getting out of dumb situations because he is an expert... at getting himself into dumb situations.   Unless I've been living in an alternate universe - the first thing everyone does when getting into a sticky situation is shift to a higher gear 🤨.   Of course not, the torque multiplication, mechanical advantage and finer control typically afforded by the lower gear is far better suited for this scenario.   There ARE scenarios where a higher gear MIGHT be appropriate determined more by the drivers ability to control EXCESSIVE wheel spin versus applying torque to the ground.
    • I'm not sure I agree with "extreme" low speed, high torque sentiment here with regards to the prescribed use of low range. How about...whenever it's needed?   A 2.72:1 transfer case and whatever differential gears these Silverados have (3.42's, maybe?) aren't producing "extremely" low crawl speeds. Or insanely high torque multiplication. Even with the 1st gear in these newer transmissions. But it does provide mechanical advantage and potentially better control at slower speeds. And with extra weight or towing, I think it adds mechanical sympathy for the truck as well.   Plus, traction control and the other assists generally turn off when you shift into low range. Those aren't needed here, they'll work against you if you need wheel spin. In high range you'll need to figure out how to turn off the various modes those assists provide. Depending on the vehicle, those things don't all automatically turn off or turn completely off.   While I agree that a farmer might have some great practical experience, a recommendation to "always" using one gear isn't very informed advice. If the farmer had said WHY and could explain the physics behind his prescriptive "always" I'd definitely listen. The way he's described here makes it sounds like he could either be uninformed or is telling everyone what worked for him, not necessarily that there could be a more advantageous way about things.
