I have a stock 2015 Silverado 3500 is there a great quality plug and play upgrade for my OEM driving lights and Fog's? I loved the Newer trucks lights as I traded my 2018 1500 in for this 2015 but the difference in the lights are not even in the same ballpark. I have not upgraded in two yours since the Truck upgrade because I find it all complicated and not sure who to trust with quality and Just simple long lasting proformance as an OEM is. As I said Plug and play as I am disabled. Thanks Everyone! DS

Hello JOJO, Here is a link I used to see exact tire dimension's of the current tire, and see the differences in ones I may want. But actually I was surprised I did a Google search "How big of a tire can I fit on a 2015 3500 HD stock not lifted" And that told me on mine I could go as high as a 295/65R18 But the tire I wanted was not available in that size, So I purchased what they did offer which was a 295/70R18 And it was about to the limit. The tire I actually wanted was the Bridgestone RIVA I THINK? Butit did not come in my size either. Alot depends on what "YOU" want and your use. For me I just found the OEM tires slick... As in I got on a small hill here in Tennessee and slipped in 4 WD because they were standard street tires. I really like The Firestone Destination XT and the Bridgestone Riva.. For a good meaty balance. And no Firestone told me my OEM spare would be fine to use as a spare to get to a tire shop so I just did the 4.... Personally I would go to this link TireSize.com - Compare Tire Sizes, Specs, Prices & more AND zero in on my size then call a Firestone store and ask to speak to the owner/manager and he or she will be happy to help you. I only deasl with managers in things like this as it tends to cut down on BS and false promisers. My manager was even happy to order 3 different sets that he and I though might fit my needs and tried each one on the front right to let me look at it. I thought that was awesome and sold me on him really caring about his customers. I guess you could go the cheap rout and get them direct from a wholesaler but this IS important enough I want someone I could trust because in your case your looking at close to 2500-3k I'd guess. But then I got the road hazard warranty which I NEVER DO because it was a kinda big investment. Hope this helps my friend! DS

Cam, You must have missed my post above I ended up getting the Firestone 295/70R18 I think thats going to be the replacement for the AT's Thanks for all your help. DS

Thanks Elite, I just wanted to end the post with the outcome in case some other person ends up searching as I did. I ended up getting the Firestone Destination XT 295/70R18 Which was quite the upgrade from my stock 265/70R18's Some will say they will not fit but I spent the day at Firestone and they were kind enough to try several tires to see which I liked. My truck is a Stock 2015 3500HD Gasser and they fit perfectly. It shocked me they did because of the huge difference in the two. It fills the holes I'll tell ya that! A very slight rub on the front when in a full turn but only on the cardboard inner liner which was easily fixed with a little push. Thanks everyone for your help and opinions they were very much appreciated Cost 1650.00 out the door with the 20 bucks a tire road hazard. DS

I'd agree New Dude BUT I hate to screw with Speedo recal

Thanks alot Elite, Yes I backed away from Goodyear for those same reasons/reviews. And having trouble finding the Wildpeaks... So probably Destinations. I was going to go up a size. I read on a stock 3500 I could go as high as a 295/64r18 But when I looked at the specs the difference in them or my stocks 265/70r18 was not that big of improvement. Then the thought of needing a speedo re cal does not make sense. I would have no idea how to get that done. So (I think it'll be the stock ones back on for me.

Thanks alot Cam, I am thinking of the Firestones... But am having trouble finding the Destination AT.... I am finding the Destination XT Any Difference?

Do you have any input on the Goodyear WRANGLER DURATRAC

Thanks so much, They are all in the same price range... might you have a favorite? If you were the buyer? DS

I am very sorry if this is the wrong spot, If it is maybe a mod could move it? I am not nearly as active as I should be so might just as well be sorry for that as well. I am looking for a set of new shoes for my truck, I'd like to upgrade from stock street shoes as they really are not universal enough. (Wet Grass your stuck (Grin) I do to a 5th wheel once in a while but I think any good tire will address that. I want something middle of the road... Grip, decent snow a bit of mud and not run ya out of the seat in HUM... I thought the Nitto Grappler was what I wanted a few years ago but recently read they are alot of noise. Don't mind some extra noise because I do want a bit beefier look but.... You get my point. Also Would also like to go one size bigger if at all possible, No lift kit or Mods on the Truck. But there does seem to be (Some Excess space) I ask her because the kid at my local tire shop was really scaring me!! Oh, I know this topic is beat to death but really could not find a thread that helped. Sincere Thanks Dodge Stomper Current size LT265/70R18 With Standard Chrome Wheels

Ok, Always sorry I post thoughts here. Don't need a full time inverter.... It was a passing thought now it's gone.

Exactly!! And that was my point, I simply went to plug in a freaking coffee pot!! Not a Welder... Oh well I guess they were thinking about an in truck office when the installed it. But one better not need a pencil sharpener!!

Right,... Not in your wildest dreams... A welder? Your on Drugs or just Bored spamming posts...

I doubt it is 400w though it might be, I am just like you was thinking about only emergency situations. And was only letting my mind wander. But as usual... Well just the thought It was fleeting.... Now it's gone

Wondering if anyone has had the experience I have several times in my 3500 The 110 socket is such low amp that is is useless except for laptop or similar. I know that was its design so don't jump on me! BUT I could not plug in a very small coffee pot last night when our house power was out. Had the same problem with a portable air pump and a small vac... My thought is to replace the inverter, Anyone had this thought? Or done this mod? Would be an easy update IF the inverter was in a accessible spot? Thoughts?

Wow, Very nice look indeed... Thanks for the detailed pics of the wiring, you say this harness is under the truck? Wondering how long they will last? One last question.... the OEM step supports are steel? Tuff to Drill? I was just about to put yellow under board lights on my 3500 but this is far more classy. DS

Sorry no one has reached out, I was having the same problem.... Then I found this thread. And then found the console at a junk yard and had it shipped for 150.00 http://car-part.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?userSearch=exact&userPID=1000&userLocation=USA&userIMS=&userInterchange=[|{r&userSide=&userDate=2016&userDate2=2018&dbModel=15.28&userModel=Chevy Truck-Silverado 1500 (1999 Up)&dbPart=241.1&userPart=Console%2C Front&sessionID=12000000058838185&userPreference=grade&userZip=45424&userLat=39.8476000&userLong=-84.1086000&userUID=0&userBroker=&iKey=&userPage=1 http://car-part.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?userSearch=exact&userPID=1000&userLocation=USA&userIMS=&userInterchange=[|{r&userSide=&userDate=2016&userDate2=2018&dbModel=15.28&userModel=Chevy Truck-Silverado 1500 (1999 Up)&dbPart=241.1&userPart=Console%2C Front&sessionID=12000000058838185&userPreference=grade&userZip=45424&userLat=39.8476000&userLong=-84.1086000&userUID=0&userBroker=&iKey=&userPage=4 Suddenly problem Solved!!

I'd force them to replace the Torque Converter!! They know of the issue with them being bad... My dealer replaced mine at 4500 miles and my problem solved right away! Now have 10k on it and not a single problem since. Still shifts hard at times but not as often and the shutter/shake has never returned! I still have a very mild vibration at different times but I have no doubt it is from the junk factory tires. So I'll deal with that this summer. My dealer is Dave Keil in Mechanicsburg, Ohio and the service manager is Paul. VERY SMART MAN

I have a 16 5.3 8 speed and have the same Trans issues. I had the Torque Converter replaced a few months ago and it did get better. I tow a 9k pound RV and am generally happy with the truck. What does piss me off is the Catch Can issue.... Someone else said it but after paying 53k for a new truck we should not have to do anything to it! If they know there is a Catch Can issue they should address it, AFM address it.... I am not rich but like most am a hard working man who has looked forward to having a truck like this and have no problem paying 6 hundred bucks a month for the privilege.... But GM should be embarrassed! But hey, this is the new world we live in..... On a side note going in to get the Bow-Tie illumination option installed this morning. Great Site here... Kudo's Keith

This site, and the members here are awesome, I guess I'm going to order a can as well. But I must admit I am VERY pissed off that I pay 50k for a truck with all the bells and whistles that I have always wanted and have to do this mod to not destroy my engine. Then have to buy something to shut down my AFM... It seems this world sucks! No morals by GM and it is ashame we can't get together and sue them, one nice class action suit. On top of that I read here and other GM truck site how on certain thing GM tries to screw us out of our warranty if we do a mod to fix their screw ups. I'm sorry but just sickening!!

I THINK many DEALERS ARE HESITANT to replace the Torgue converter. Why? I have no idea but when mine was replaced it was like a new truck. A member above discribed it as like those rumple strips and that is exactly how I described it to my dealer. Though mine was not only at 70-80 but was intermittent anywhere. at times 35, at times 80... I think it is/was a faulty TC... DS

Love mine on a 2016 1500 ltz but did have to replace Torque converter at 4k miles. No issues since then 8k now

It is an 8 speed transmission... And 3000 miles since the TQ was replaced and not a single problem. Sorry for the lack of reply but been out of town. There really is no sense posting the work order as all it does is prove I'm serious. I am very happy with my truck now and was ready to trade it in. Best to all...

I drive a 2016 Silverado LTZ 4wd I recently fixed my vibration issue, I found it was a faulty Torque Converter... It shuttered and shook at different speeds but not constant. GM warranty replaced TC and balanced tires and all Vibration was gone... I now love my LTZ.... PLEASE for those feeling my frustration check this out. I was about to use the OHIO lemon law to dump this truck but now all is right in the world again. If you need to PM me and I will scan and send the GM repair order. Also IF your a internet surfer please spread this word as I am not going to, but felt it my responsibility as a Chevy Truck guy to post this. Best DS
