  1. Not sure if this got posted yet but TFL got hp numbers. 5.7 is 400 hp 6.6 is 475 hp
  2. They are 9" wide TIS wheels
  3. Loaded range E 3750 lbs @65 psi
  4. 2026 3500HD. Mostly empty. Grocery getter. What tire pressure are you running for 37x12.50x20. I have 37x12.50R20 Toyo Open Country RT pro and been running around 55 lbs front and rear and it's too much. Tires are wearing more in the middle. Toyo says 45 front and 50 rear. Chalk test and it's still too much. I lowered it to 40 front 44 rear see what happens.
  5. I thought i read on GM Authority that they were going to discontinue the Double cabs in the next year or two. Not enough demand.
  6. Im looking for some led lights to fill in these holes. I want wire them straight to the fuse panel so they are on when the truck is running. Any ideas?
  7. I clean them with acetone and a toothbrush. Then wipe down with lacquer thinner. Mask off with tape and tin foil. POR 15 Caliper paint using a 1/2 wide brush. Easy.
  8. The alignment was done at an alignment shop by a 25 year tech and he said it wasn't the easiest job to get it right . It took him about 2 hours to get it perfect. Truck drives great. Tires are nice and look killer. Act just like a true mud tire like Trail Grapplers. Little noisy but that don't bother me. No rubbing after I did the mud flap delete and zip tied the wheel well liners in front of and behind the tire. The bose amp is still running. The Kicker ties in under the passenger sill plate super easy to install. This setup is better sounding than the GM Kicker for $400 less. And it's smaller.
  9. Finally gotmy 2026 3500HD LTZ gasser where i want it. Kryptonite stage 3 2" leveling kit. Turned keys for an extra 3/4" Fox 2.0 Shocks. Kryptonite/Fox 2.0 Steering Stabilizer. 2" rear lift blocks. BDS Recoil Traction bars. 37x12.50R20 LT Toyo Open Country R/T Pro tires. TIS 544C 20X9 +0 Offset. Cognito mudflap delete kit. Swapped out black tow hooks for chrome. GM Stainless steel exhaust tip. Trident Stainless steel bed rails. Chevy branded Tonneau cover Bedrug. Rexing Dashcam. Front/Rear. Kicker hideaway Subwoofer. Enjoy.
  10. I've had red brake calipers on my last 3 trucks. All three trucks were black. All had chrome aftermarket wheels . A lifted 2018 1500 on 38s, a 22 1500 High Country and a 23 1500 High Country. Now my 26 3500HD LTZ is White and I'm putting some TIS 544C 20x9s with 37x12.50R20 Toyo Open Country RT pros. On the fence if I should do it again. And what color, red again? I'm sure I'll be getting flamed for this and that's cool but I really want you guys' honest opinion. I won't get all butthurt if you don't like the idea.
  11. 2026 3500HD Chevy with 2.5" lift put 37x12.50r20 Toyo Open Country RT Pros on my stock 20s. It rubs on the frame and the Kryptonite UCA at full lock. Actually the only part that rubs are the huge knobbys they have on the sidewall. So I'm going to get some aftermarket wheels in the +18 to +0 offset range. Doing this will probably fix that problem but create a new problem with the mudflap. My Question is has any one done the delete kit, and what were the results. The instructions want you to chop a piece of sheet metal and I'm not sure i want to do that. But if I have to I will. Anyone??
  12. When I bought my 26 3500HD, I figured out what I wanted. I mean what I needed, then everything I wanted .Then I built one online. Let it simmer in my mind for a few days to do more research. A couple small tweaks and I built another one online and did a search. The exact truck was sitting at my local dealer 3 blocks away. Now it's in my driveway. You gotta do your research and not assume anything.
  13. Tires fit stock wheels no problem. Next on my list is Kryptonite tie rod ends
