Hey all,

I am very close to pulling the trigger on ordering a new truck(2011 2500HD W/the 20" wheel option) and have been snooping around at tire options(after the sale) for the 20" wheel package and am coming up with nothing...! Are there no options in the aftermarket world for the factory 20" wheels on the 2011 2500HD? As stated in post header, I really would like a set of BFG All Terrain KO TA's that fit the new 20" wheel option offered on the 2011 2500 HD's.

 

Thanks,

-John

HDs generally come with 16s as the smaller rim allows more torque to be delivered to the wheels...HDs aren't built to roll on dubz

2011* HD trucks come standard with 17" steels and have optional 5 spoke 17" machined aluminum, 18" forged aluminum and 20" 5 spoke forged aluminum wheels.

 

(* Note. The OP is close to pulling the trigger on a 2011)

I have BFG All Terrain KO's on my 09 GMC with factory 20s. Mine are 285 / 55R 20s, load range "D" but they also come in 305s, load range "E".

If I were to do it again, I would order my truck with 18s, the 20s just don't have enough sidewall height and even though my tires are 33" tall, on the truck they look like 30s. The 20 inch sidewalls have no flex and in a load range "E" they would ride like a rock.

I have the 20" wheels on my 2011 and love them. I also looked to replace the Goodyear tires that came standard on the 20's but decided the ride was great and although they are a mud and snow tire as opposed to an All Terrain, they worked great on a very muddy back road and great in snow. Yes it is a fairly low profile, but that really improves the handling. I had BFG KOs on my last truck and I liked them, but they didn't track as well and definitely rode a bit harsher.

 

Try the factory Goodyears and wait to change them out until you give them a chance. Now if you plan on a lot of true offroad, don't get the 20's, get the 17's and save your money for the BFG's on aftermarket wheels.

Thanks for the info/input GMC Denali HD, I appreciate it!

 

No "true off roading" for me, just want a decent snow performing tire and it sounds like the factory one is from what you stated. I guess I'll just have to give them a try....

 

Thanks,

[Hijack] Will 285/55/20's fit on a non-lifted GMT900 with stock 20's? [/Hijack]

 

No they will rub in front. Guys on here have fit them with a 2" levelling kit installed.

      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."

      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.
