Thanks! Will likely go pick one up this week so I can get my phone out of that bin infront of the infotainment center

Added reverse flood lights. I normally like lights... And lots of them, but I think this might be overkill, even for me haha

 

I might change my mind and replace with others.

Today? After getting sick of coins slidng around (and occasionally out of) the center seat console when flipped up, I added one of those spring-loaded coin holder assemblies that used to be in a variety of 90s Buicks/Oldsmobiles. Used 3M Dual-Lok strips to mount to the back wall of the center console compartment. Works like a charm -- even if it's a minor mod compared to what the truck received last week (Line-X, Roll-X, etc).

I added some new tires:

BFG All Terrain KO2's
285/65-18 on stock rims

 

I got 5 and another stock rim, going to rotate in the spare.

So far they're real nice:

I'm considering the same tires in the same size. I'd be curious to know how you like them after a few more miles. Did they balance out OK?

So far I installed a Diamondplated tool box, tinted the front windows with a windshield strip, weather tech floor mats, installed a 10" JL sub with a custom box under the rear seat, a JL 250 watt amp, 2" leveling kit, 20x9 Moto Metal 961's with an 18+ offset, 33x12.50x20 Toyo Open Country M/T's, a super chips programmer, and I plasti dipped my bow tie's black.

Installed the Chevy grill cover to help warm up the truck faster in the lovely winter weather conditions of Chicago.

So far only 250km on them. I haven't noticed any vibrations so I guess the balance is good. Road noise is the same as stock IMO. At the tire shop they did tell me that these larger types of tires are harder to balance and that they would do it again for free if I noticed any problems. So far I've noticed the truck rides a lot smoother than stock when going over bumps. I'm running 36psi.

 

Update - I've added pics to my uoiginal post

I have a 1.5" levelling kit, but it appears that these would fit just fine without it. Pics coming, weather is crap haha.

cool thanks, im about to pull the trigger on some new rims and tires (was going to get them today but have to help some girl pick out a new car) but im trying to max out what fits without issues.

i kinda want to lift it but would rather not, i like the rake because when i put my bikes in the back i dont want to ride nose up.

That's why I went with 1.5 level. The back still sits about 1/2" high, which looks level at a glance. Add about 600lbs to the bed, aka camping gear or ATV and it levels perfectly.

    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
    • 286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔
