  1. I only have 2k miles on my '22 2500HD Duramax LT. Love it. Pulls my 37' TT fine. This truck is my daily. Went from a 3.0 Duramax which I loved also to this.
  2. Very faint rubbing when full turn. Weld Fulcrum 20x10 -18. Stock factory tires 275/65r20
  3. I'll update later today once it's done
  4. I get stuff all over the place. Some say trim, some say its fine etc etc. I'll find out today. Hoping my stock Wrangler AT's dont look weird on these wheels.
  5. When I bought aftermarket wheels, I re-used my existing TPMS sensors. I am assuming I can do the same with my 2500HD TPMS sensors?
  6. Well sir, you must have exquisite taste! LOL. I wanted an LT only. I didnt see the value in getting an LT Z71 since I was going to swap wheels anyway. If the +13 offset Weld Fulcrum W117 will work without rubbing, then I'll buy them today. Going to keep the stock tires and then when they need replacing, I'll get a little bigger but nothing crazy. So you do have a level kit on yours? As far as tint, it happens tomorrow. I had it on my 3.0 Dmax and thought "ceramic yea right..I doubt it works"....and boy was I impressed. It definitely works, does not distort your vision etc.
  7. @mw2022denali holy crap man... that is a beauty. GMC always has some nice looking trucks. I've never had an F450 (Not a Ford guy) so I wouldnt know what is missing. But hopefully you'll love your new truck.
  8. I'm fixing to upgrade wheels. 20x10s I believe. Just need to find the right wheel and offset.
  9. Sorry guys if its been asked. I'm looking to buy a set of Fuel Offroad Triton D581's, 20x10. Going to keep the stock tires which are LT275/65 R20 All Terrain. I dont care if it sticks out too much, thats fine. I dont think I'll get much bigger tires though, meaning, 35's I wont do. If I do go a little bigger down the road will anything rub if I buy -18 offset? Not sure what is the right offset to pick.
  10. About 22-23 with the fuel wheels, going 75. About 24 stock wheels, same mph.
  11. Traded my 2020 1500 3.0 Dmax Z71 4x4 Texas edition 3.73 gears, with Fox shocks, airbags (removed them), Fuel wheels (left them on), level kit, S&B Filter (left it on), ceramic windshield tint and tint all around for this truck. Pics attached: 2500HD Dmax 1500 3.0 Pulling the Vibe 26RK 31', 6800# at a RV resort 1500 3.0 pulling the new Astoria 3373RL 37', 8200# Ride difference: This 2500HD is a smoother ride actually. I believe that has to do with the airbags in the back on the 1500 as that made the ride rougher, regardless what you read on the internet. The 1500 3.0 from the factory with the offroad towing option has the piece of junk Rancho shocks which made the truck bounce around as if it had worn out 300k mile shocks on it. Embarrassing. Fox shocks took care of that problem though. I didnt get to experience the ride without the airbags though as I had them installed within a few days. It was still comfortable, I just adjusted air pressure in the back when not towing my travel trailer (31' Vibe 26RK). Towing: Havent towed with the 2500 yet but I already know its going to be great. 3.0 Dmax towed the 2021 Vibe 26RK TT (31', 6800 empty) without issue and stopped without issue. The trailer brake controller inside the truck was very helpful as I modulate brakes when coming to a stop or when in traffic. I've went 70-75mph and never felt as though there was going to be any issues. 18wheelers coming towards me or passing me never worried me. Felt very good towing the smaller travel trailer and had no problems getting up to speed or retaining it. Comfort: Surprisingly it is more comfortable in the 2500HD. I have the front bucket seats option so maybe there is a difference there. The center console is definitely a plus. I can put my phone or whatever there and keep it out of the way. The actual center console storage is roomy but the $65 tray from GM is overpriced. I instead bought one on Amazon for $20. Had to also order the weather mat type mats in case of mud or dirt or whatever. Makes cleaning easier. Back seats feel more roomy also. But feature wise, same same. I did lose the power outlet inside the truck since I didnt have that option. The only thing I dont like is the halogen headlights. I'll need to find LED headlights on ebay and buy the correct harness, so about $1200-1500. Next up is tint, wheels, 3 piece rear bed cover and a level kit.
  12. You didn't mislead. I was just making a joke. I got lucky that a local dealer just happened to be getting a shipment of a few in. So I put my deposit down and did all of the credit app stuff. Tomorrow I'll pick it up.

  14. This guy. You have a 3.0 and the 6.6? Nice. I'll be happy with 20mpg tbh.
