Those shoes definitely complements the stock look.  Looks good!

Put the 285/65/20 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss's on today. Had some minor rubbing so ended up doing some very minor trimming in the front and removing the mud flap bracket in the back. Now, no rubbing at all.

Dang, I'm surprised those rubbed slightly. My ridge grappler dimensions are the same width and slightly taller then the Mickey's. Maybe the refresh sierra is slightly bigger? They look good on your truck. How do you like them?

Thanks! So far I really like them, seem to be quieter than the duratracs. The rubbing was only at full lock when stationary but there was a little when compressed and turning at just the right angle. Removing the front rear mudflap bracket and reinstalling the mud flap and bolting it directly to one of the existing lower holes from the bracket was easy and provided the needed clearance. Ordered the mud flap delete kit as well, but mainly for the capped look.

Setup looks great!  Did you ever find a way to do the speedometer calibration for the newer 22+ refresh?  I seen that Pulsar might be coming out with their updated LT module at some point for this.

No I stopped looking into it when GM dealers told me that I might void my powertrain warranty because I have changed the wheel size or use a module for the speedo calibration.

 

I spoke to few dealers who said, GM has denied powertrain warrant claim for vehicles that had their tire size different from what OEM options are. Some say the speed calibration module leaves an imprint the vehicle ECU that tells GM that the vehicle was using the speedo calibration module.

 

I guess it depends on the dealership and the claim manager but I can see GM using any excuse necessary to weasel out of a claim, especially its gonna cost them a lot of money.

 

I will wait and see what options become available and if GM causes issues with them.

 

Off topic: is there a software similar to ForScan (for Ford) for GM vehicles? I have used ForScan to change a lot of options on my F150, like Bambi mode, that allows Highbeam and Fog lights to be on at the same time and increase the brightness of DRLs etc... lots of ECU modification with ForScan. I was hoping a similar product existed for GM.

ford dealers are so much cooler than gm, my local ford offers big tire package and leveling kit right there in the show room floor, they install them level your truck and recalibrate the ECU all covered under the factory warrantee .I was shocked when I call my gm dealer and I was told if I mess with my truck they will stop my warrantee . I cant even level MY TRUCK  , I hate to say it but GM suck about this.

That's why GM is number 2 to Ford. I'm not loyal to any brand, but warranty work on my F150 was always a breeze. In fact I remember one time I was over the basic warranty by 5000km and needed the ECU replaced. ECU is free under warranty and $800 out of warranty. So, even though I was over the warranty mileage by 5000km, Ford dealer still replaced the ECU free of charge.

 

I took my 1500 in today for some warranty work and didn't even get a loaner, which is usually covered in the warranty.

    • It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.
    • It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.       
    • Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!
    • If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.
    • My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.
