How does it drive now with those wheels

 

I don't find much of a difference than with the stock goodyears.

Posted

This afternoon I parked near a truck very similar to mine at the local mall. The key difference is that this other truck was leveled and had wheels and tires that maximized the space in the wheel wells. The truck looked fantastic! It made mine look like I was sporting four portable spare tires! My stock tires are 255/70r/17 and I plan to go to 265/70r/17 Michelin LTX/MS when I have my level kit installed. I know there isn't much of a difference but it is a much more popular size (less expensive) and they are at least a little bigger! Is if there anyone going with a larger tire on a 17" wheel with a 6cyl 4x4 Crew and not experiencing huge increases in gas consumption? Maybe 285/70r/17??

Your truck looks great! Is this a 4.3 L and if so, what was the original tire size? Thanks.

I think you're talking to me? If so, thanks! It's a 5.3L.

OEM tire size is 275/55/20. I just wanted a little more. They're flush to the fenders/quarters.

I imagine you didn't experience any changes in your mpg with such a minor change. I am guessing that if I was to go to a 285 from a 255 with my 4.3 L it would be reflected in my mpg quite significantly.

Looks good. Which specific bilstein did you get? I'm assuming the 5100 adjustable ride height. The reason I ask, is because I've gone to autoanything and 4wheelparts and both say that the adjustable ride height shocks don't fit my 2015 crew cab 4x4.

I wanted to do the exact same thing. I got the Rough Country 2' level and put 305/65/18 BFG All Terrains on my truck. No rubbing at all - it looked great. So a 2.5" level should work great.

So you got 2" level running 305/65/18 and no rubbing at all? stock or Aftermarket wheels?Any chances you got pics?

I know they say they dont fit but they do. 24-238304 and 33-238319 are the correct part numbers

Well that's strange because they're on my 2015!

What are the differences between the two part numbers?

    • The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.  
    • Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
    • I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!
    • I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
