What is everyone running their psi on these e rated tires? I have been running 40psi and was told that is low from someone on the forum. I went to Discount tire and they told me the psi was right and could run up to 80psi if towing. My question is what is the proper psi on a half ton with E rated tires not towing????

I run 42-44 on my Load Range C tires. I would probably run a bit more than 40 in Load Range E. Just because a Load Range E tire can be inflated to 80 psi, doesn't mean 40 psi has the same capacity as 40 psi in a Load Range C or even a P tire. There was a chart somewhere I am trying to find that showed different load ranges and their capacity at certain inflation pressures. It wasn't exact as this but say a Load Range E tire has a capacity of 3000lbs inflating it to only 40 psi made it's capacity only 1500 lbs where as a P tire might have 2200 lbs at 40 psi and that's it.

40psi should be fine considering that these trucks only come with D/8 ply tires. For comparison sakes on my 2004 Doge Cummins Crew Cab Long Bed I ran my E-Rated MT's at 65/68psi

Thanks guys, I was told to run no lower than 60 or I'll get bad wear. So far 7500 in they look ok but then again 7500 is nothing especially when you rotate every 3000

Been wondering the same thing. Discount also inflated mine to 40 psi but the fronts almost look a little low. I have read where a couple guys are running around 55 in the front and 50 in the rear. I'm going to play around with it the coming weeks and see how the ride is affected.

Go down to page 13.

While they don't have your specific tire size listed it is pretty easy to conclude that at 40psi the tires load capabilities match that of 8 ply tires.

to be honest the ride is great. The only thing is the tires are meaty so as your start to accelerate from a stop like you get that roughness. But the ride is plush and smooth. My brother has a 2500 Chevy diesel and when I ride in his with the same timers it's a tank. The suspension is stiff and you feel everything. My truck however kept the factory ride.

It been a while, but here is my light bars I installed. 30" behind the grille and curved 54" up top:

I have always had all black. So I decided to switch it up and try the Iridium, pretty happy the way it turned out. My biggest complaint about these new trucks, is the damn paint is ridiculously thin!

 

Which lift mods do you have? I like that it's lift but not leaning backwards like almost everyone else's lol.

I'm running a McGaughys 7-9" Black SS lift set at 7". 20x9 -12 Rockstar II's and 35x12.50 MTZs.

 

I don't like the SoCal look either.

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      By dna9656 · Posted

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
