I'd like to hear others opinions on the Factory OEM 22 wheels for the 14 SIerra and SIlverado. I'm thinking about buying a set and putting Nitto Trail grappler MTs on there. I told myself I'd never go to 22 inch wheels but there is a set that GM offers that's really sharp looking. I found a pic of them installed on a Sierra online. Suggestions, comments?

CTH,

 

I had factory 22's and my 2011 GMC Denali before I traded it in. They were Cadillac Escalade Platinum wheels. The ride was good and they looked sharp. I kept the factory bridgestone's on it. I kept my factory 20s and put those on when I traded.

 

I thought about doing 22's again for my 2014, but I like the wheels as they are right now. The all black is sharp. However, my wife's jeep has black factory wheels! and they do show scratches from car washes. Not a big deal to some, but I have OCD when it comes to my vehicles.

 

Great choice on wheels!

Thanks Will! Did you have your computer re-calibrated when you put the 22s on?

 

I have a Black 2014 Sierra Z71 4x4. I think these wheels will look great on it. Plan on getting Nitto Trail Grappler M/T 285 55 22. Have a RC 2 in level to put on as well.

 

Nice truck. Very sharp!

Great question. I asked the service adviser about that and he stated that since GM ran with 22's on some models, it was not necessary. He did mention if the wheels were aftermarket or 24's+, it would be a good idea.

 

Great choice on your wheel/tire combo.

Hi, I got a set of gm option 22s on my 14 silverado and love them. I only have the Bridgestone street tire but have not had any trouble with the wheels in ride quality.Discount tire set the sensors after putting them on. Can I ask what anyone has said to you about getting 24s ? I ask because the dealer has a nice set on showroom floor that are a 13 spoke design with the Chevy Bowtie on the center cap that I would like to get. I've heard some negatives but not enough to sway my decision yet. Thx

I got the dealer 22s in your picture installed on white diamond tricoat... they are sharp! Don't know about more weight or if dealer had to re calibrate but the dealer did install updated inflation tables. They came with Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza all season... ride is nice and quiet. haven't tried them off road.

These wheels are quite heavy and will affect you fuel economy somewhat in a negative way.

 

Yes they are, and that is because they are a "cast" wheel, cheaply made with inferior plating.

 

I run a set of "Forgeline" wheels that are 3 piece, directionally spun aluminum, they are lighter than the stock 20" pieces of junk that GM gives you.

Factory 22's (SEY) here with 285/45/22 Bridgestone Duelers. Personally, I wouldn't have any other wheel/tire combo on a Silverado/Sierra. They look and ride great, NO VIBRATION at all.... I do all city/highway driving, no off road. For that purpose you can't beat this combo. I probably would have bought the black GM 22's if these hadn't come on the truck...

Any pix on those? Thinking about ordering the 22 blacks on Summit white.

Would love to see a pic of the 14/15 Sierra 1500 on that size tire.

      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.
