#9 of 69 Re: how big of tires [jerrywestberry] by dlovesb Dec 28, 2006 (6:44 pm)
Replying to: jerrywestberry (Dec 28, 2006 1:24 pm) I was able to put 285 75 16 on my silverado. (baha mt wide track) 127.00 each. Tires this size are ussually over 200.00 each. They look aggresive and no road noise. They are definately alot bigger than my 275's. Alot of people are complimenting the truck even more. I just installed diamond plated mud flaps to the rear and it finishes off the chrome look of the truck.
#10 of 69 Less aggressive tire with less vibration by mike614 Jan 31, 2007 (6:43 pm)
Hi,   It there is a less aggressive tire then the 265R17 all season radial tire which is standard on the GMC 2007 Sierra SLT model. The vibration from the tire is to much for my wife. Replies to this message: obyone (Jan 31, 2007 11:55 pm) mike614 (Feb 03, 2007 9:16 pm)

#12 of 69 When to replace shocks by dlovesb Feb 01, 2007 (2:58 pm)
Hi gang, I have a 99 silverado 4x4 with airbags in the back. I bought it 2 years ago used. Truck is in nice shape. The body doesn't bounce when foring it down by hand. ( the old shock test) When should I replace the shocks? When traveling down roads that are in repair it's rough. A friend that owns a TOYOTA 4x4 says he has no trouble and it is comfortable. Someone enlighten me... Replies to this message: obyone (Feb 05, 2007 2:26 am) dlovesb (Feb 05, 2007 3:33 pm) obyone (Feb 06, 2007 1:37 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: dlovesb (Feb 01, 2007 2:58 pm) Aren't those airbags adjustable? Replies to this message: dlovesb (Feb 05, 2007 3:33 pm) obyone (Feb 06, 2007 1:37 am) dlovesb (Feb 06, 2007 4:49 am)

Replying to: obyone (Feb 05, 2007 2:26 am) Yes the airbags are adjustable. They are at 30 lbs. I like the slightly raised look. I would think that you still would have to replace the shocks though wouldn't you? I was also thinking of the front ones as well. Is there a mileage or any other things that would lead me to think I need to replace them? I don't know how old they are since I bought the truck with 50,000 miles on it and now it's slightly over 100.000 miles.

Replying to: dlovesb (Feb 05, 2007 3:33 pm) I replaced the stock shocks at 10k miles with Edlebrock IAS shocks. Was a little to stiff for me so switched to some HD Bilsteins which worked out fine.   The airbags are designed to support the load in the truck and would be responsible for your "firm no bounce" shock test. At 100k miles you should definitely consider changing all four shocks. Replies to this message: dlovesb (Feb 06, 2007 4:49 am)

#18 of 69 upgrading 2005 allison tranny by bach1 Feb 09, 2007 (7:10 am)
I heard that there is a chip out there that will convert the 2005 allison 5 spd to a 6 spd. Supposedly the tranny is already designed to work as a 6 spd is not set up electronically.
