I been running 35 psi on my 305-55-20 falken wildpeak. Is that a good number to stay in? I seen people running 50+. What's the difference if I put 50+?

Are they P305/55R20's or LT305/55R20's? Typically LT tires would have 40-50 psi, sometimes more when towing or hauling a lot weight. P tires are normally less than 40 psi.

 

Looks like Falken might only make an LT version in 305/55R20.I'd start at 40 and adjust it from there.

Yes they are LT. Might try putting them at 40 and see what it does.

Anybody know where you can buy GM rims? I really like the chrome Denali rims and some of the other AT rims.

Besides that, what are some other good sites for other brands?

I've got the exact same tires in that size on my truck. I usually have the PSI around 35-40 and anything more than that makes the ride super harsh in my opinion. Around town I like them at 35 and when I take a long road trip I'll pump them up to 40.

You should not run 50 psi on any size tire. 50 is Max psi (Blow up territory). If you are running at 35 psi cold, it will go up 2-3 psi, depending on how long you drive. With added weight you will go up another 2-3 psi. So the max you can put in your tires is 40psi. rule of thumbs for me is 10psi below max recommended.

Depends on whether the tires are P-metric or LT's. His are LT load range E's with a max inflation of 65 psi. You'd be correct if he had P305/55R20's.

What is the actual size of that tire when mounted on the truck (true height, tread width, and section width)? Would like to see some low angle front and rear pics to see the full width of the tire if you could post them.

I have a 2015 Silverado and looking to put the Nitto G2s 305/55/20 on it. My question has to do with the tire pressure sensors and the vehicle diagnostics with OnStar. If I run around 10 lbs or pressure higher will it make any sort of tire light come in or show an error with OnStar diagnostics?

No you won't have an issue. I am running 42psi in my 35" tires and everything reports as normal.

Well, here's the low angle front, anyway:

Is a BFG KO A/T 285/65r20 to much for stock all terrain rims? Looks to be about 34"x11" so guessing I will have rubbing if stock height? Found a good deal on a set and hoping they will work

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.

      Tranmission stays in Low

      get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.

      This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Stabilitrack was a stability control, traction control system, that functioned independently from the transfer case.   Z-71 has nothing to do with the transfer case or differential.   If it does have an AWD system, my memory recalls this being specific to the Denali trim, converting won't be as simple as swapping out mechanical parts like differentials and transfer cases. It will require reprogramming at a minimum. Long story short, not likely worth it.   Pulling a fuse, may disable the AWD system, it might also prevent any other transfer case functions.   However, the AWD case was generally based on the same transfer case you refer to in the 2006 Suburban. If it still has a 4-High and 4-Low where the transfer case locks and splits power 50-50 front to rear, what are you gaining by changing anything? A true-rear wheel drive only, what good will that serve? Not enough to go through the trouble of changing out all the parts.    Generally, all the factory systems will handle a 33" tire and re-gearing. Probably a 35" tire too, if you aren't driving like a caveman. If 35" tires are in the plan...   If you do plan on driving like a caveman or are fully committed to 35" tires, an entire re-think of the build is probably in order. Starting with square one, an IFS front end isn't going to be the best starting point for 35's and caveman driving.

      Oil Consumption

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      1/2 qt over full ain`t gonna hurt $h!t. Most times, a whole qt won`t either. Most have windage trays now. As long as the crank isn`t slapping itself in the oil, it`s not the end of the world.   We used to overfill 1 qt at the track, at race time. Better to have it over full than having the pan sucked dry at 6500 rpm`s.
