#1028 of 1057 We're going to have to... by cspaulding Mar 01, 2002 (6:19 am)
wait until the suit has been taken care of and we get rid of this piece of junk Chevy. We will consider Ford and Dodge - I've always liked Dodge, but their 4 door is no where near the Ford and Chevy, size wise. Most likely will be a Ford diesel. Our friend is an ace mechanic, but works for Ford. He's fixed my old Dodge, and our older Chevys. He's wonderful, as he explains and teaches me about the drivetrain as he goes, my hubby doesn't have the patience.

I am running a set of no-name Coopers in an LT 255/85-16 without any adjustment to my torsion bars, like Quad, with no rubbing at full stop in either direction. They are louder than the stock Firestone AT's, but not as loud as a set of MT's. I was just surprised that you had clearance issues on the stock wheels. -Eric
#1030 of 1057 Splitting bed by bradn1 Mar 04, 2002 (10:59 am)
2000 GMC 2500 3door. The bed is splitting on all four corners. Has anyone had this problem, or have any solutions?
#1031 of 1057 Another vote for the Kelly Tires by hunter98 Mar 06, 2002 (1:22 pm)
I think I was the first one to get the Kelly Safari AWR in 255x85R16, I now have about 10,000 miles on them. My odometer and speedometer are off. To get the correct distance and speed, multiply by 1.093. I really like the looks of the tires, and the traction. Definately can't hear them over the Duramax. I do have occasional rubbing of the drivers side rear liner, but not enough to warrant me trying to fix the problem, cause it aint really a problem. Love the Tires Love the 2500HD Love the Duramax Now averaging 18 MPG, was averaging 13 out of my 5.3 and I think I am driving even harder. Hunter

>To get the correct distance and speed, multiply by 1.093.< That just would never work for me. Do you think we are mathematicians? Much, much simpler to divide by 0.9149.

You Got it, LOL Hunter or, just add 10% and subtract a couple of miles for the tank LOL
#1034 of 1057 Where are all those 2500/3500 owners? by whatsachevy May 03, 2002 (1:46 pm)
Where is everybody? I got tired of wasting my time trying to read all that crap at the GM Engine Knock thread. Perhaps we can get a civilized forum started back up here where we talk about our trucks, share our experiences (both GOOD and bad) and learn about the things we can do to get more satisfaction out of them (rather than listen to some camaro owner who got a lemon and can't let it go). If interested, chime in any time!

My '94 Camaro (Z28) had the 5.7L LT1. It never knocked or used oil. My '99 1500 Z71 5.3L didn't either. My current Durmax diesel is a year old, never back to the dealer except for oil changes, flawless. My biggest concern; when Bilstein is going to come out with some shocks for the 2500HD?
#1036 of 1057 Quad by obyone May 03, 2002 (3:32 pm)
I guess when there's enough of them around to justify the R&D and manufacturing setup costs....
