no problem. I'm just guessing from my experience though. I never get 22mpg in my truck even when it was stock lol. Traffic in Atlanta really sucks so that probably contributes to it

Yeah, I have zero traffic on my way to work. 2 lane road through small town midwest lol. Now I just need to figure out if I need a 2 or 2.5" lift.

Does anyone have any pics of the 22" sey wheels with Nitto Grapplers? I searched but wasn't able to find any photos.

 

Also is 245/45/22 the biggest you can go at stock height?

very lucky lol. I did a 2" on mine and I am very happy with the look. It has slight rake but I prefer it because I tow some stuff every now and then. A few 2.5" levels that I've seen in person almost look like they are squatting in the back which I hate.ed26c127520e24425338e149db949b4f.jpg

That's a good point. I'll probably go with a 2" as well then. I have a camper I pull during the summer. What offset are your wheels and do they stick out much?

Happen to know your fender heights?

they are +18 offset. They stick out a little but not too much. This is the best pic I have of how much they stick out, not the best angle to see it though 3820f1717d5138f14a6b793b02481393.jpg

Explain why you run that tire and wheel combo

I don't off the top of my head. I can measure them later though

Damn I really do like your setup. Might have to steal all your measurements for myself haha.

Oh man, are you sitting down and holding on to something??!!

 

BECAUSE I (ME) LIKE IT!!!!!!

 

 

...........and it looks good

go for it! I'm just needing to take off my side steps now and I will be happy with it! I wanted to make it look more like a truck without going too crazy because it's my daily driver and for me personally it's pretty much perfect and I'm happy with how it turned out

Hahah power to ya man. I have the ridge grapplers on 17s, had the factory 22s before. I'd personally never go for the noise of the grapplers unless I knew I had enough sidewall to handle off road use.

I think the tires are relatively quiet and these large bodies require larger wheels IMO. I'm on pavement 99.9999% of the time anyway so it's the perfect setup for me.

Quiet compared to what? A diesel locomotive? My 22" duelers were silent. The grapplers sound like a freight train. I would have turned around a mile from the tire shop if they weren't awesome off-road.

    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?   
    • Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
