    New Chevy 09 3500 4x4

    I see what you are talking about regarding ground clearance now. I was looking at the front ends at their lowest point. I wish Chevy would offer a factory off road package like the Power Wagon but that won't happen.

    New Chevy 09 3500 4x4

    Those are on my short list for new tires, they look great !! I am looking at the MTRs and the Silent Armor all terrains compared to similar BFGs. I can't wait to hear how they do on the freeway and off road. What kind of $$$ are we looking at for these ??

    New Chevy 09 3500 4x4

    Do you have a link to where you got them ? And BTW, the Chevy's aren't as bad as you make them out. I know you were speaking mainly about the Duramax but I would take the Chevy gas engines over ANY of fords or dodges offerings. Also, stock ground clearance is within an inch of the dodge and...

    New Chevy 09 3500 4x4

    How well does the back door seal to the body ? Is dust an issue like you would find with other camper shells ?

    Best tires for a fullsize ??

    Thanks, I'll look at the Pro Comps as well. I'm also considering the Yokohama Geolander ATS I have them on the 4Runner and they are great tires but not sure if they would do well on a fullsize truck.

    Best tires for a fullsize ??

    Did Goodyear replace the tires ?? One of the big selling features on the Silent Armors is the 50,000 mile warranty so I would hope they would have taken care of you. I like the Duratracs but have read a couple of comments about the sidewalls and they don't have the tread life warranty. I would...

    Best tires for a fullsize ??

    After reading some more, I am leaning towards the Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor or their new Duratracs. The Silent Armors have a 50,000 mile warranty, the Duratracs don't. Does anyone have any experience with the Silent Armors vs the BFG ATs ?? Or in general, how about any experience with the...

    Best tires for a fullsize ??

    I know the thread you are referring to, the 09 Chevy. However, there are a couple other threads discussing the Duratracs and how they chose the MTRs because of the sidewalls. One was a Jeep, IIRC.

    Best tires for a fullsize ??

    There is a thread on them in the general vehicle modification forum and someone posted they were going to get the duratracs until they actually saw them. Said the sidewall was thin and flexible and bought the new Kevlar Goodyear MTRs instead.

    Best tires for a fullsize ??

    It's time for some new tires and while I have read a few threads about tires here, they seem to be geared more towards smaller SUVs and trucks. I have a Chevy 2500HD and am looking for a good A/T tire or maybe a mild mannered M/T tire. I would be looking for either a 265 or 285 size and would...

    Introducing myself and need help

    Love your build !! Other than the flatbed, it's exactly how I want to do my 2500HD. I have a few questions if you don't mind. What size are your tires and are those the factory Chevy HD wheels you had painted/coated ?? What made you choose the Revos ? What kind of lift do you have ? What kind of...

    New Chevy 09 3500 4x4

    You posted about electrical issues with your previous Chevy trucks. Were the problems limited to the diesels and whet were the problems ? What do you like about the Dodge vs the Chevy ?

    Where's all the silverado's?.......

    Thanks for the info !! My truck is a extra cab 2500HD like yours but with the 6.0 and an automatic trans. I have been wanting to raise my front end up like you have and add the 285s as well and when I saw yours it looked just like how I wanted mine to look. How does it ride compared to stock...

    Very nice !! What are the specs on the 2001 ?? What lift, tire size etc.....

    Where's all the silverado's?.......

    It's a knocking you can hear and feel in the steering wheel when turning slow and over bumps. It's just play in the intermediate shaft and GM's "solution" is to pack the shaft with grease which fixes the noise temporarily. I haven't heard of them breaking, just annoying.

    Where's all the silverado's?.......

    I have the upgraded GM factory shaft and it fixed the clunking and play in the steering. Whether it will be a long term solution remains to be seen though. If it starts clunking again I will get one of the aftermarket Borgeson shafts which will fix the problem for sure. They are what GM should...

    Where's all the silverado's?.......

    I like your stickers !! :sombrero: I have a few myself. I had a 1990 Suburban almost identical to yours which I sold to a friend who's a member here. They are great trucks. As for there not being many "Silverados" here, most here are of the opinion that if it doesn't have a solid front axle...

    Packing Heat...who does it?

    Yes, yes I do. :victory::ar15: It's just another tool in the box. Besides, it's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
