Hey everyone, not a Silverado owner, but my buddy just bought a '21 RST Crewcab 4x4.  He likes how I set up my trucks and asked me to help him figure out a simple level set up.  He just wants to give the truck a little stance but not destroy the ride as he has decent commute.  He wanted to run 33's.  

 

Thinking of having him run a 1.5" Motofab level.

For tires some Falken Wildpeak AT3W in  285/55/20

 

For wheels a set of the Raceline 950B 20x9 with 0 offset

Yeah, it'll work, but that tire size isn't a 33.  I recommend going with a 275/60 on that 20" wheel if you want a true 33.

 

285/55/20 = 32.34"

275/60/20 = 32.99"

 

Personally, I'm not a fan of the lift kit you're recommending.  The issues are going to be with the cv axles and upper control arms.  I recommend the Trail Boss 2" lift kit through GM Accessories.  It is a lot more expensive, but it has a GM-backed warranty.  I do not think it affects the vehicle ride, with the exception of the shocks.  The stocks can always be replaced, and many people with Trail Bosses seem to prefer Bilstein shocks.

    • Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB - 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"
    • 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!
