You need a reset tool which you have to use even after rotating the tires. I plan on buying one after the 24,000 mile maintenance warranty runs out. The tire place might have one but if not just go by a dealer and maybe they won't charge just for a TPMS reset. Only takes a couple minutes.

Thanks!

All you guys that switched from the factory P tires to taller/wider sizes and got stuck with LT tires, what's the ride like? I'm leaning towards sticking to a P tire but wouldn't mind switching to LT if the ride isn't too bad. My truck is my DD so I keep that kind of stuff in mind.

I didn't really get stuck with an LT tire I wanted it. I didn't notice much of a change in ride quality… I just prefer an LT over a P rated tire…

I put about 10,000 miles on the stock SRA's before moving to my Duratracs. I ran the SRA around 36psi cold, I now run my DuraTrac's at 40psi cold (rated for 80psi) . I've found the ride to be slightly stiffer but actually prefer the ride with the stiffer side wall- it also makes mounting curbs in NYC far less nerveracking.

I went from the stock 275/55/20 SR-A tires to 35/13.5R20 Toyo RT and haven't noticed a difference. There's an in tial change in feel in your butt but after a couple hundred miles that goes away.

Anything I've done to this truck is 100% reversible. When I sell it in two years it will be as stock as the day it left the dealer!

Finally pulled the trigger on rims and tires. Fuel nutz D251 20x9 with +20 offset. Tires are nitto trail grappler 295/55. Truck has a 2" level haven't noticed any rubbing as of yet. I think there might be some minor rubbing at full lock on the sway bar. Also tye wrapped the fender liner back just to be on the safe side and give a little more clearance.

Beautiful truck sir. I've always loved those wheels. I doubt I'll ever get rid of the stockers on mine but if I do those would be the ones to replace them.

Man, that looks good! Like those wheels. You can post as many pics of that truck as you want. I won't complain.

    • This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.
    • I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps. 
    • 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.
