Thanks for posting the picture. I'm an old guy... so I guess thats why I've always been partial to chrome. But since my truck has the black front end I'm not sure which way to go. When I was a kid, if you had black wheels it was because you could not afford hubcaps.. or somebody stole them

I'm right there with you Steve. Chrome has always been the cat's meow, so to speak. It's getting hard to find chrome wheels these days, which is why I'm looking at the oem Denali hd wheels.

2015 Silverado 2 1/2" RC leveling kit, 20x10 -24 Fuel Mavericks on 33x12.50r20 Toyo Open Country R/T's.

Barely rubs the plastic on the back side of the fender, minor trimming will do the trick.

I'll be rocking that same setup when my stock tires wear out. Looks good man

Thank you, I spent so much time researching if the wheel and tire combo would fit, finally I just decided to take the risk to get the size I wanted. People were saying those tires wouldn't fit without some type of body lift but if you want any pics of how mine looks i'll be more than happy to help.

Yea if you've got some extra pics that would be great. Some close ups of the tires and looking down the side of the truck would be awesome

I like it. How do you like the R/t"s? That is the tire I ordered

I've had the R/T's on for about 10,000 miles and they are great. The tires have handle every situation I've thrown at them with no problems. Mud, dirt, gravel, rain, 120mph and its been great. Tread wear is very good as well, tires look brand new.

      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.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      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.
