Well guys I finally bit the bullet and ordered 285/70/18 nitto ridge grapplers for my 2014 Chevy Silverado with a 2” RC level. I’m here to tell y’all they DO NOT RUB but lord have mercy is it close. I spent countless hours on here asking and researching and just about everyone said they would rub but no one had personal experience to tell me for sure. Glad I didn’t listen. Feel free to share that this size FITS. Hope it saves someone else the time of researching!!!

What tire pressure are you running? I got the Nitto Ridge Grappler 285/65/r18 on a 2.25" Level 2016 crew cab short bed silverado ltz and the tire shop filled them up to 35 psi which is what the door said for my stock 285/45/r22 bridgestone duelers. After looking up the load index for those wheels an pressure i got 2337 on the load index and ran it against the chart for the Nittos and did the math out that for my truck i should be running 42.6 psi cold. Had to look up some stuff about how to read the charts so i figured i'd throw this up on here to save somebody the trouble. Everyone has different preferences but for now ill see how they wear with 42 as the baseline.

 

Also, might want to zip tie that wheel well lining back a little bit in case when the PSI warms the tire up and it builds pressure 2-3 psi. Looks sharp tho.

Thank you. The tire shop put 40 psi in them.

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.

      Checked the pads today and there's plenty of meat on them. If the message keeps coming up, I'll just answer YES that the pads were replaced and wait for the squeal.
