Why would it not be a good daily? it doesn't really look lifted that much my daily has alil more than 12 inches of lift and a set of 37"× 13.50" nitto's. I wish these dam tires would wear out already so I can throw a set of 40's under it. I never thought I'd want to wear a almost 2k set out just to get rid of them..
I see lots of carbon build up on the intake valves before and after seafoam, that is why I hate direct injection it is too hard to clean intake valves at each recommend treatment, port injection works better
It all depends on what you consider better. You get better power and fuel mileage with GDI but port injection is simpler. I agree with the other comment here. I know ford has added another injector to inject some fork before the intake valve and have heard several others are making or have made changes. I have seen comparisons of different top engine cleaners and I haven’t seen a whole lot of difference. I have. 2017 Silverado with 32,000 miles that still performed like new and know what I will have to do to keep it as healthy as possible. I don’t mind a lot doing this but the manufacturers should have know just from common sense that lack of cleaning would cause problems. Just manufacturers pushing the limits on federal mandates and we suffer. We sure need a government that has common sense.
Wayne Copeland before Ford added an extra injector their DI’s carbon up real good. My buddy had to have his 3.5 ecoboost walnut blasted at 70,000. Bad knock and the valves were coked with carbon. German cars might be a little worse but American cars have the same issues.
Wow can't believe it took an 8" lift to get 35" tires under it! I got 37s under the 6" RCD torsion bar lift on my 2003 Chevy 2500HD Durumax diesel truck.
A lot people with lift and bigger tires. Don’t think about changing axle gears match up like original. I seen a few trucks with big tires. One had 5 speed in it. It was so geared high. Only used 3 gears. 4th and 5th couldn’t haul the truck lol actually slower speed than 3rd gear lol If u have 38’s to 42’s inch tires. I would get 4.56.1 gears. Below 38’s 4.10’s should be fine. 33’s to 35’s is ok for 3.73’s. 44 to 48 inch tires i go would with 4.88’s to 5.13’s. Around that range.
Are you gonna put a new motor in it and bypass the active fuel management? Those motors sucked when they changed them. I know too many people that had problems with them.
@Wayne Copeland it helps a ton. I've had them on every vehicle. I just sold my 2016 5.3 DI had one on there and got a 2020 trail boss and my oil catch can will be here on Friday. It catches a ton of oil.
@Wayne Copeland yes it does. That "carbon" build it is mostly oil vapor from the PCV system sucking the oil vapors into the intake manifold and into the heads
As an owner of a 15 silverado for 5 years now, the DI is a very competent system, very well constructed and hasnt given me a single issue, as for the intrusion of crankcase gasses, 3 in 1 out catch can takes care of that, bout to hit 100,000 miles and besides a lifter going at 68,000 havent had a problem, and a lifter isnt a problem, just means a TSP cam ;)
I did the same thing, but with carb cleaner......ALL on the carbon was gone afterwards, seafoam did a nice job but you'd be amazed how well some standard carb cleaner does
Okay..first of all.. why a wrap and not paint? That wrap will last a year or two at most. Secondly why not a better brand lift kit? Lastly the tires..Generals??? Man if seafoam bucked up you should have spent less in production and more in quality parts. What a shame.
I also forgot..put on drilled and slotted rotors, and performance pads.. ut leave the factory calipers. You all do realize that those factory calipers are only designed for those factory wheel tire sizes..so those larger tires with wear out calipers quick.
I'm with Austin on this one about that truck: There's a few reasons why I'm not so much of a fan of red vehicles: 1): Red vehicles are hellaciously more expensive than any other color vehicles 2): Red vehicles are most commonly stopped by the police for traffic violations than any other color vehicle 3): Red vehicles are most commonly reported stolen than any other color vehicle 4): Red vehicles have significantly higher rates on insurance coverage than any other color vehicle
I live in California which is the worst for car insurance. I’ve had the same insurance guy for 25 years and not once has he asked about the color of my vehicles. Not once has he mentioned my rates are higher because of color. I own 3 red vehicles. A corvette, a Jeep Grand Cherokee and a F150. So, at least not true in Ca. I know in Florida, the color is listed on the vehicle registration so maybe it’s true in States like Florida.
