Okay. Pick out some wheels for my truck. I've looked at so many I don't know what to do

Everyone is doing black wheels these days. I'm an old guy and have always done chrome. So I'm down to either Hostile switchblade in chrome or Hostile sprocket in black and machined. Someone please make the choice. I'm tired of thinking about it.

Long time lurker, first time poster.

 

Looking to upgrade my 18" OEM's with 22" SEY's. I'm really focused on how the tire will look when its mounted. There's a certain look I like, and a certain look I don't like. I don't like how the factory tire looks. I've seen someone post some pages ago that had the Cooper Zeon LTZ's. That is the tire I'm looking for. I believe they were listed in the pic as being a 305/40/22. I think I'm going to stick with a 285/45, however when I look at Cooper's website I don't see that they make the Zeon LTZ's in a 22. I'm hoping that someone will say "you didn't look at the right spot, they make them and here they are", hence the reason for my post.

 

Anyone have any insight maybe or if not, maybe a mfg. that has a very similar style to the Zeon LTZ. Thanks!

 

EDIT: So some internet searching and I found them available in the 305/40/22. Issue I would see is they recommend a 10" rim width and the OEM's only come in a 9" that I've been able to find.

 

 

WELCOME.

Let's see a picture of your truck and the two wheels you have in mind

These are the two he's looking at. I also was considering the Switchblade. I was starting to think I was the only guy here who preferred chrome.

I'm considering these Denali 20" now since they're cheaper than after market and chrome.

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

I'm having a hard time believing those are 275/65/20's, they sure don't look like a 34in tire

this shld shed some light on it

Thanks guys. I'm actually considering the black and machined Hostile sprockets. The chrome switchblade is really nice. Thanks for putting that picture up. I'll post a picture of the sprocket shortly

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

      Gas fill door

      By newdude · Posted

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

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

      By newdude · Posted

      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.

      Active Grille Delete

      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.

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

      By jake111 · Posted

      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?
