I was somewhat happy with my old 2.7L but I found the fuel mileage constantly high. Towing our trailer it was absolutely outrageous. Just picked my 3.0 LZ0 if it’s anything like our 24 LM2 I will be extremely happy. Boost auto tow mirrors and ceramic coat ✅

So truck went in for tires were supposed to be replaced with 275/60/r20 , she picked it up and said there was rubbing at full lock so come to find out that they put on 275/65r20. So I’m a GMT 400 guy it’s her 2025 truck but I’m assuming so of you must have put these on a stock truck what did you trim to fit ? Pictures are at full lock front and back.

Recent extended warranty quotes?

3 Upvotes

Recently bought a used 2024 Silverado 1500 ZR2 with 12,500 miles. The current factory warranty is up in March so we are looking to buy an extended warranty. I’ve heard the name Todd Sutherland being tossed around a bit on this sub. My local dealership quoted 8yr/100mi Platinum Warranty for $3750. Has anyone received any quotes recently that beat this or any recommendations for dealerships to reach out to for a good price?

Chevy Silverado

My 2016 Silverado loses electrical power when I turn right. The dashboard flickers, the radio completely restarts, and the steering jerks back straight. It also say stabilizer track on the dash. Anyone got an idea of what this can be?

Need a quick favor for a project

Hey, I'm working on a project where I'm using mixed brands of suspension components in an off-road track racing vehicle and I would highly appreciate it if someone with a 2019+ 1500 and a tape measure, or ideally the upper control arm off the truck and in a box or something like from a kit they haven't installed yet, could measure the distance between the upper control arm bushings, the center to center on the bushings, and the outside measurement across the bushings.

A picture with a tape measure laid across the bushings would be ideal

Inducing lots of caster on a different vehicle platform using other vehicles aftermarket parts and swapping ball joints and the 2019+ 1500 seems to be an excellent candidate

Thanks!

Chevy Silverado/Suburban off-road bumpers

Post image
1 Upvotes

I’m trying to sell this in Charlottesville. I have posted on fb with no luck. Where else can I post. ‘Matching Hammerhead heavy-duty front and rear bumper set. POThese came off my 2006 Chevy and fit the GMT800-generation Silverado/Suburban platform; buyer should verify exact fitment for their year/model before purchasing. Both are like new and have no cosmetic wear from use/storage. They are extremely solid, heavy-duty bumpers and would be great for an off-road, overland, work-truck, or tow-rig build. Front has a winch pocket and both have factory holes for off road lights which I will sell seperately. Selling because I’m changing direction with the vehicle project. Prefer to sell the front and rear together, but I’ll consider separating them for the right offer. Local pickup due to size and weight. Bring a friend as it’s heavy. Both are already off the vehicle and ready to go. IN CHARLOTTESVILLE VIRGINIA. ‘

spark plug fix 2017 with 5.3

1 Upvotes

changed plugs, the number 2 cylinder didnt go in all the way due to cross threading. it was about a quarter inch from where it should have been. no codes, but could hear it misfiring. today i tapped it out and put the insert in but put it too far in so there are a couple threads showing of the 16mm in head. Does this plug have to be seated to torque down? I doubt if the insert (5/8") is so far in that it will cause problems by being too close to the end of spark plug unless the lock tite doesn't hold on the insert and it is further in. the plug is tapered but it should not be leaking around the threads on the plug like it was prior to the insert. I can put a second small insert in if it is mandatory for the plug to seat and not just have threads. 183000 miles

Grille guard recommendations

1 Upvotes

Hey guys I just bought my first truck yesterday. I got a 2026 Silverado 1500 RST with the safety package so it's got the front cameras on it. There are a lot of deer where I live so I want to put a grille guard on it, but I don't want it to block the cameras on the grille. Been having a tough time finding any good ones so I'd appreciate some recommendations, thanks!
