Anyone running 2011 2500hd 20" wheels on a 2010 2500hd?

True ... that link you posted for me helped a lot..

 

I went ahead and bought a set of wheels, complete with lugs etc... they will be here tomorrow.... I am going to buy One 1.5" wheel adapter and one 2" wheel adapter. First for sizing purposes, which ever looks best, I'll by the set.. I see that the front wheels sit wider than that of the rear so it is possible that 1.5 in the front and 2" in the rear might be the call.. We'll see...

 

I'm hoping for a flush fit ... I will post up pictures by Friday once i receive the adapters....

 

 

FYI the wheel liners I bought were the wrong ones ... "you'd think the dealership could match up my Vin number for a proper fit of parts?" NO way .. not them.. I provided them my Vin number so this shit doesn't happen .. so back they go for the correct part .. I found the correct part number for the dealership to use.. I should charge the dealership for doing their job and my travel... another day another argument i suppose :)

 

 

My dealer tried to tell me the same thing today. He said p/n 19166676 is for 1500 & 2500 srw, when in fact the p/n for the 2500 & 3500 srw is 22738993. Found them on eBay for less than $90 shipped. I even told the parts guy I have a set I used on an 08 1500 and they wouldn't fit.

 

 

Holy Shit! do you pull that trailer with a gas engine? If so.. i suppose I have no worries pulling my 22' enclosed trailer with my mustang inside it !.... I never had a Chevy and never had a gas engine truck.. this is my 1st...

 

I'm going to make these butt holes order both styles/part numbers and fit them before buying them...(leaving the dealership)

 

 

I installed the wheelwell liners today but they don't go down far enough to cover the frame like the ones did on my half ton. Kind of disappointing considering that was the main reason I bought them....to hide the frame.

 

I look forward to seeing your wheels installed as well. That's a hell of a price. Did you buy them from an individual? I will be buying a set also in the next few months.

Just Installed the Rear Wheel Liners today......

 

WHAT A MOTHER FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF ...lol or maybe the GM dealer in Waterbury CT is a stupid POS! lol

 

I have a a ticket zip tied to the liners... part number 19166676 ..... but when i open up the instructions.. the part number on them is 19166682 WTF?!!

 

Well long story short, i had to trim both liners to fit, ( around the wheel well edge, and the bottoms on each end)

 

IDK if its me.. or what but it wasn't fun, it didn't take long since i,m pretty mechanically inclined, however for someone without skills this wasn't a push in the wheel wells and put a couple one way press in fasteners and done type job..

 

LOL ..ANYWHO.. still better than a ford !

You had to trim them because they are for a 1500, or they are for a gmc. The right part # is 22738993. Mine fit perfectly,they just don't cover the frame.

 

Can u post a pic of them installed? Also, do they cover your frame?

Just curious if you had any luck getting those rims on and if some which adapters did you use and also did you have to cut the studs. I am very interested in you findings I made a big mistake a bought these exact wheels and tires for a 2010 not knowing the bolt pattern had changed. Oh well any info would be greatly appreciated

I have not installed them yet due to weather ( winter n shitty roads )

I measured them out I put the actual wheel up to the truck measured for 1 1/2" spacer and measured for 2 1/2" spacer

Using lug nuts spaced out with those above mentioned measurements. the 1 1/2" mesurment or would be 1 1/2" spacer would have the wheel sit flush to slightly inside the fender ( which I prefer)

Using the 1 1/2" spacer you will have to cut the very tip of the bolt off Which will not affect the bolt thread at all.

 

The 2" adapters would have the wheels sit slightly outside the fender 1/4 " I'd say at most

 

The adapters that I'm going to use are from ez accessory Found on eBay

Text me if you like I will be putting these on my truck in just a few weeks

I have a 09 with the 2011 ltz 20's. The spacers I purchased are 1.5 inches thick and the new wheels have 1.5 in more offset. So the wheels end up in the same position as the stock 16's.the new tire is 32.5 inches tall and will rub the fender wells. I installed the front leveling torsion keys with shock extenders ($70 shipped) and it no longer rubs. The 2007 to 2010 wheel wells are slightly smaller that the 2011 and up.

    • I bought belts and pulleys for my '20 L5P at Rock Auto a couple years ago. I have used them for many years, and almost always save significant money, especially when I buy maintenance stuff ahead of time.   They carry many OEM parts, which is all I use unless an aftermarket is shown to be same/superior, or if it is an insignificant part or unavailable OEM part anywhere else. RA is usually lower priced, often by a bunch, but parts are sometimes unavailable or out of stock, and I do shop around and sometimes find better prices at other sites.   Be aware that you pay shipping, and if you buy multiple items and they are coming from different warehouses, the shipping can kill the advantage. Planning ahead is best if possible.   If you have a transmission service in the near future, check out their OEM (AC Delco ULV) fluid, usually MUCH less than anywhere else.
    • New member here, very long time occasional guest. Saw this thread, thought it would be a good time to contribute someting. It is only my experience and not a claim that everyone will have the same.   I bought my '20 3500 L5P new and have put 99.9% (literally) of it's current ~400k miles on it myself, with over 50% of that towing loads between 4k to 15k, and to me this truck has been nothing short of amazing. For the first 235k I had zero issues, and from there until 321k I replaced a NOx sensor, two failing glow plugs, and three of the notorious injector connectors. I believe this truck is in part, a testament to good luck, but also good care and following a decent maintenance schedule (I also keep meticulous records.) As a result, it looks as good as a well cared for 70k rig, up and down, inside and out.   At some point before that 321k mile mark I began to get a little spooked about the 10L1000, especially the valve body. Word of mouth about potential issues prompted me to jump on the net to sift through all the noise and determine what all the fuss was about. I routinely take long trips, coast-to-coast and points in between, so roadside breakdowns can be '...a thousand miles from nowhere' and a bit of a challenge, and though I had no issues, my guard was up and activated.   And then I stumbled across a chance to salvage some parts off a new 2025 that had been wrecked in transport. I grabbed a few wear items (alternator, pulleys, etc.) and on a whim asked what the ten speeder would cost me. It was cheap...really cheap. I knew some changes had been made in the '24+ version 10L and were supposedly not compatible, but I called service/parts at my local Chevy dealer and asked why and they didn't know. A call to a well known aftermarket transmission outfit revealed it was very likely it would be fine, but to them not 100% sure.   Because it was cheap (really cheap) and I was spooked, I took the chance. Had it installed by a local shop and it worked like a champ, shifted just like the original. At it's first service at 37k, I had the shop put in a Next Gen valve body kit, which after some initial hiccups and rough shifts, smoothed out though with somewhat firmer shifting.   All that said, I have a very serious concern about my newer transmission as just two weeks ago it suddenly began to exhibit a strong reluctance to engage forward or reverse. It was a bit past due anyway so I took it in for service. The reason it was sticking was due to 'glitter' in the fluid clogging the filter...not good folks, often indicates a converter giving out. We ended up going ahead with the new filter and fluid, first to see if it would move and shift, and then if so buy me a little time. It did, and I've driven it over a thousand miles and it is shifting smooth, no noises or slipping. Regardless, it looks like a third gearbox is in my future so I can resume taking long trips with some confidence. In the very short term, my curiosity will have me examining the fluid to check how much glitter has reappeared.   An earlier poster had alleged, in the context of 10L100 failures, that it is another example of how we seasoned citizens somehow descend into hysteria, lose control of our senses, and react irrationally after brief encounters with the idiocy of the internet infosphere. Let me say (and I have used and abused said internet since it's infancy) there is no segment of the populace that has a corner on over-reaction to digital garbage. Just as my offering of experience in this arena is purely anecdotal and should not be considered gospel or all-encompassing, I believe it is still worthwhile information to consider, along with other relevant anecdotal experiences about things like complex transmissions, especially when balanced with other sources.   So to answer the original question, yes I got high miles out of my first 10L, trouble free for 321,000. Now I really wonder how much longer it would have went. Did I 'overreact' to the internet ghouls by replacing a 'good' one with a 'bad' one? Maybe. Who knows, the thing might have taken a puke a 100 miles later. So I'll just fix it again, then move on and start thinking about all the other stuff that will eventually wear out. It still has the original brakes (they're at ~60%), original injectors/pump, turbo, water pump, etc....pretty much original everything. Knock on wood.
    • At peak temperature.  They get to cool down and warm up more, especially those with the external cooler.  I have three GMT900s and one of them has over 225K on its original transmission.  Fluid gets changed about every 36K miles, all of it.     It's not the bean counters, it was the government.  They had to meet CAFE standards and other government requirements.   To get around that, we tune them and modify them to our liking.
