I had to get rid of those cheap ass LS2's. They lasted about 35k with rotation every oil change and yearly alignments. I love these Wrangler Silent Armor's though. They ride so much better than the LS2 and i love the the tread design. They're a bit pricey but they have a 50k mile warranty so in the long run, it's worth it.

Looking good

 

Eagle LS2 have no place on truck, we had them on a nissan murano and they were terrible in anything but dry, rain and snow you midas well have walked. Actually had one warrantied and then with about 500km on the new tire it sprung a leak at about 85mph, which was nice and they said it was a manufacturing problem not a puncture.

That’s exactly my setup for winter (same rims and tires). Theses tires are great in the snow and ice.

I have the same tires (265/65/17) on my truck since January and love them. they are aggressive, quiet and good on all surfaces but a bit pricey. they replaced Kumho road ventures which where a nice summer tire but that's it. Also bought the truck with Kelly Safari's which were terrible. They scalped and were very loud.

I DIG em'.........good looking tread, and im all about rolling in "stealth" mode. Are you in a crew cab? My 2010 crew has all kinds of tire noise coming from rear doors/cab. I have the Bridgestone AT's but will be upgrading soon and would like a less noisy tire.

    • That should answer the maximum depth difference between the stock and the PPE so its not hugely lower. As to the PML pan, they don't make any claims that it fits the L8T with the same transmission and in fact leave their information confusing, however on the surface it says "for Duramax" and so its hard to say. I know a while back and not sure which brand it was that specifically stated that the extra capacity pan that particular company made did NOT fit the gas version. 
    • There are several versions of the 5100's. Some for stock height, some for leveled, some for lifted.    Side note. I finally had a chance to tow with my 30' gooseneck with about 10,000 lbs of material on it this past week. Hands down the 5100's made the trailer towing much more stable and comfortable. I even had 10 cmu blocks in the bed. What a difference over the stock shocks. 
    • According to PML, the stock pan is 4.3" deep - (PML info): Dimensions: at deepest area, PML pan is 7 inches, stock pan is 4.3 inches    PPE is 5.4" so roughly 1.1" deeper than stock
    • I had not realized that PPE has come out with a version of a cast aluminum oil pan specific to being able to fit onto the 10L1000 with the L8T engine sometime this spring. I was doubting that anyone would come out with something beyond what Dorman had in more of a direct factory pan swap. I see from one comment that is on the PPE site that they found the pan to be tighter to install then the factory unit and having to flex the exhaust down to fit it. I didn't lookup any specs if they have any as per how much lower it hangs but as it holds more oil and has fins outside the pan it would no doubt hang a certain amount lower.    I looked back at the site and they do have some depth measurements to get a rough comparison to the factory pan total height or hang down if you will at the front and rear of the pan so that will give a good idea how much further down this pan would end up being for ground clearance issues.    2024-2026 GM 6.6L Gas 10L1000 Heavy-Duty Cast Transmission Pan – Pacific Performance Engineering    
    • I'm in constant amazement over the number of people that do oil maintenance by how they feel, what they were told, what materials cost, what brand A claims vs brand B.     Come to think of it, this behavior isn't exclusive to oil. 🤔 They drive this way too. 😬   There is a 20 plus page thread on BITOG on Mobil 1 Advanced Clean vs Valvoline Restore and Protect it would be amusing if it were not so........humanly pitiful.   Last Sunday we were are sitting at services and listening to a speaker talk about Jesus parable of the wide and narrow gates and he said something that hadn't dawned on me but totally fit the way people in general are about just about everything. He said there are so few people on the narrow path leading to a good reward not because the the narrow gate was hidden or hard to find but because the wide gate leading to a bad end it so darn easy and uncomplicated to follow!!!
