Just wondering who is running them and what are your thoughts on them? So far from what I can tell they look good but haven't found much as far as treadwear. Thinking about getting the 295/65R18's for my truck.

I'm also interested in the Duratracs, so I will be watching this thread for feedback.

 

BTW, what lift do you have that you are able to put on this size (295/65/18) tire that is a little over 33"?

Im interested as well, Over on cumminsforum they have had positive reviews. Great tread wear and awsome performance in mud and snow. I will be getting the 285/65/18s once I get my tax return. :puke::sigh:

I would love to have these tires...from what i have heard they are good in snow and being an aggresive A/T they look to be decent in the mud. Problem is the cheapest i found them locally is $234 plus mounting and balancing. They do look awesome though.

i currently am running them as 33's. i have had them on my truck for around 12,000ish miles and i drive from ohio to michigan and back every weekend and i havn't noticed any signs of wear yet. What i have noticed though is that they arent that great when there is a little over a dusting of snow on the road but once you get to the deep stuff its a tottaly different tire. In ohio we had snow up to my front bumper and my truck went through it no problem, i also towed a few cars out of parking lots from that snow storm. They are a little bit pricey but they are worth it.

I got the duratracs about 3 weeks ago and love them. They look like a mud tire, real meaty. Everybody loves them. Going down the highway they are very quiet and very resonsive. Very excited for winter to come! Hope this helps!

I have the duratracs in 245/75/16 on my 05 2500 xtended cab long box i have put 22000 miles on them they are about ready to be repalced but are hands down the best snow tire i have ever run i work construction in vermont. i will definatly be buying another set. my aonly complaint is that when i first put them i could feel the tall soft tread blocks wiggle in the corners making the rear of the truck feel loose but you get used to it.

I just got mine! I have 285/75R/16. I haven't really put any miles on them yet. I will when I go Wisconsin in December. So far so good. The only issue that I had was that my sensors did not like the low air pressure, for a smoother ride. So i ended up putting like 70+ psi in the rear and the same for the front to get the sensors to read normal. By the way these are on stock rims.

70 PSI? I bet that's like driving on iron!

it sure is! I don't now how to get around the sensors to make it smoother, so for now I will leave it alone.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
