Whats up everyone! Just joined, excited to be a part of this. My question today is about wheel spacers. I'd like to add a slightly aggresive stance to my 2014 silverado high country. So I have a 2.5 inch leveling lift im putting on and I would like to get some wheel spacers. I was thinking 1 Inch. If I get 1 inch to do I need to upgrade or modify anything else? I'm willing to spend the money if needed, i just want to do it right. If anyone has any insight it would be greatly appreciated.

No need to modify anything else but if you are going to go as much as 1” I would recommend BORA style spacers that actually provide new wheel studs versus disc style spacers that just take up thread space on your existing. Link below to MS Tech who sells the spacers I mentioned. Goodluck to ya!

I’ve got a set of used 1” BORA spacers I’d sell for $100 plus shipping.  (All hardware included)

$100 is a great deal. Just ask him what they came off of but I imagine 1500 GM 6 lug, standard pattern.

I believe at 1" there is a really good chance you will have to trim your stock wheel studs some.

I did 1.5" and the stock studs still protrude a little into the back of the wheel. But my stock 20s have a recess and I didn't have to trim the studs at all.

If you plan to change the suspension like that make sure you budget for hub bearings which will not last very long.

New wheel bearing because of 1” spacers? Can you expand on this?

Ah, you are absolutely correct. I forgot I had wanted to go 1.5” but was not willing to trim the studs. Ended up going 1.75” instead. The guys at MS Tech are really great and they’ll make some custom for you if you want to get precise. I think the actual protrusion on the studs is something like 1.65” so you could shorten them by .15” if you really wanted or just get the off-the-shelf 1.75”s.

Tim never has anything helpful.
Only the doom and gloom.

I guess your wheels didn't have a recess in the back?

I didn't trim mine at all with 1.5

My guy at the tire dealership recommended strongly against putting on wheel spacers.
I figure, like Farmer's insurance, he's seen a thing or two. ?

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
