    well that's an odd tire size, and there are not any trucks that come from the factory with that setup. Most come 265/65/R18. 265/70/R18 is only a 1" taller tire overall. Meaning that it is only going to "lift" the truck 1/2". Almost going to be unnoticeable. I doubt that too many people even go with that option because it is not really a significant increase to warrant getting new tires.

    Finished the fluid change last night. Found quite a bit of metallic flake in the magnetic catches. Nothing to be concerned about, but the fluid was pretty dirty. Didn't really notice the flakes in the oil, but possible that as it was draining (and subsequently passing over the magnet) the flakes were caught. See pictures. Painted it for rust prevention.

    Thanks so much! I have the 5.3L so it looks like I will be heading back out to the dealer. I will take before and after pictures of the fluid to show the metallic flakes. Truck only has 7000 miles on it, but I know that the break-in period creates a lot of flaking.

    I am about to change the rear differential fluid on my 2016 Silverado. I went to the dealer to get the fluid (75W-85 special new fluid, supposedly "High Efficiency"). The dealer was unable to give me the volume spec for the fluid to fill it back up. I have seen both 2 liters and 2.6 liters required. Seeing as to how the fluid costs $22 a liter from the dealer, I don't want to buy 3 liters if I only need 2. Can anyone help clear this up/set me straight???
