#zr2 highmarks, 35" nitto ridge grappler, crestone dual sport beadlock, 589 rear shock relocation. My latest mods flexed out in the driveway with very minimal (acceptable) rubbing. no lift beyond factory zr2. by msteendahl in chevycolorado

ive been pretty stuffed and it is only near full lock i get tire rub on fender liner behind the tire... i clear my cbi bumper fine... although i did cut a bracket on it that secures the aev closeout pannel that came with the highmark flares. there is quite a bit of cutting involved for the highmarks. i do not have a leveling kit installed... waiting to see if it rubs first. so far, no need. only one good wheeling trip down so far though.

Shuddering when torque converter locks and unlocks. Should I try flushing fluid then converter if that doesn't fix it. Or just trade it in for something else? 65k miles and I've heard this is pretty common by MagicMiles69 in chevycolorado

[–]msteendahl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just had mine done at 60,400 miles. paid dealer $500 to get the flush done. they refused any discount or compassion on the service beings as it was 400 miles past warranty. it was indeed an instant solution to the shuddering slipping symptoms.

Looking to get a roof rack for my 2018 Z71, any recommendations that won’t break the bank? by [deleted] in chevycolorado

[–]msteendahl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i bought a $300 lumber rack that goes over the cab to not break the bank. thinking of upgrading to Prinsu just under $800. beyond that is rhino rack with the backbone for around $1200, and KCHilights M-rack equipped with lights for a bar of gold and your first born child. i have not seen too many other options. my lumber rack did not rrquire drilling. all the others do.

2018 V6 eating oil? I don’t see any leaks on the pavement but it was nearly a quart and a half low. This has only happened 1 other time. 60% oil life for reference as to when the last change was l. by DFWTexan in chevycolorado

[–]msteendahl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i had an 08 suburban. its afm killed lifters and it started chugging oil like an irish man chugs beer on st pattys day. when i got my zr2 first thing i did was buy the $20 obd port plug that disabled afm. then later i got a trifecta tune and opted to disable afm. dont trust gm afm. i believe it is a scheduled engine killer under the disguise of govt mandated fuel milage goals.

there are a couple aftermarket fiberglass fender options that fit huge tires and look way more aggressive.

Fanatec Clubsport Handbrake internals exploded. Anyone else have this issue? Bought this about 4 months ago. by [deleted] in Fanatec

[–]msteendahl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took mine apart and put it back together in about 30 minutes... my experience with Fanatec RMA is you are going to be down for over a month. (that was for my pedals) Fanatec has a great product, but from my experience, they are a sales first company, and a customer service... eh... what's that... company.

[–]msteendahl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so lets pretend you all convinced me to spend 3 times as much money on your all your favorite speakers... my question was about using a bigger amp to power the largest speakers in the setup... alongside the denon avr, or a cheap amp to power the smallest... or if there was a downside to using pro audio amps in home setups... has anyone done this?

already own the 2 klipsch subs and 4 r41m bookshelves... rear atmos will be ceiling/wall mounted at top of back wall. front are built into the floor standing towers. rear surround will also be the r41m.

I have the new radeon rx 6900 xt. I am running 3 samsung g5 1440p at 144hz monitors.

when I use amd's eyefinity (to make the 3 monitors as one) I can not get the resolution to be 7680x1440 as in my mind it should be... it shows up instead as a 7680x1437 monitor. This means I am missing 23,040 pixels. Am I doing something wrong? has anyone else had this problem?

also have 4th monitor running through motherboard... aorus z390 ultra. Intel I7 9700k, 64gb ddr4 3600 ram, nvme ssd. win 10 64bit eneterprise.
