All,

I'm in the market for some new tires. I got about 65k miles out of the Michelin LTX AT2 that I currently have. They have been a great riding tire, but didn't provide much of the look that I was going after. I prefer the look of the BFG AT KO with RWL over the Michelin. I was pricing new tires this weekend and was quoted an out the door price of around $1300 with taxes, 3 year alignment ($115), old tire disposal, etc.

 

Now, today I see a commercial for Tire Kingdom (NTB) that is advertising a buy 1, get 1 free or buy 2, get 2 free on certain brands. In the 285/70-17 size, they have certain Cooper tires, Nitto or Pirelli. They do not have the Cooper Zeon that I keep seeing around here as part of the promotion. The Nitto tire under the promo is the Crosstek HD. I can have all 4 tires, lifetime rotate and balance, tire disposal, taxes, and 3 year alignment for $800. I would prefer a raised white tire, but these don't come that way. Anybody have any experience with these? For a $500 savings, I'm tempted. The promotion ends Sunday, so any opinions are welcome.

Isn't the only difference in the 3/4 and 1 ton truck tires the load range? I think the tires I have now are E rated, but I'm not positive. How will driving a 1/2 ton truck differ from a 3/4 or 1 ton with these tires? Are there other issues that I should be aware of that I might be missing?

I have the Nitto Crosstek HD on my 2008 Silverado Max 4x4 I went up to a 285/70/17 on the factory wheels. I wanted to go to a E load range tire like this, and they are great. They are allot stiffer than the stock P series tires. 25k miles and still look new just remember if you upgrade to a LT tire to increase the air PSI. 35 psi in a P tire is the same as 50 in a LT I run 55 psi in the front and 50 in the rear while unloaded

I did this deal through NTB a week ago. I talked them into the Terra Grapplers tho, i liked the design better. Cost was $749.01

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
