I'm curious on something from you guys. I have the stock tires and rims. My plan is down the road some rims and tires and at first was thinking 20s but for some reason I'm kinda leaning to a 18 inch rim. I know one pro is less weight. . and maybe a smoother ride....?/ as for jumping to 33s vs the stock 31s. Do you guys notice the difference in power loss due to a taller tire. I don't plan on tuning , maybe a intake tube and new muffler so curious if anyone was like " wow I can definitely feel the lack of get up and go."..?

I can tell you that I went to the Ko2s (275/60R20) and they feel a lot heavier.. because they are 15lbs per tire. It affects ride quality some and MPG, but I knew that going in. You can definitely feel a difference, but i am happy with the look. Its definitely a trade-off. Hope this helps.

I'd say a kiss from the tire at full lock...not really a rub.

Hey Guys, I have seen two or three guys on here running 295/60/20s with a level, so I have done my homework. That being said, I can't seem to get ahold of them.. If anyone is running 295/60/20 I would love to see them! Also anywhere from +1-+30 offset is what I am looking at, and want to know if there are rubbing issues. Plastic I can deal with... Streering components I don't want do deal with. Thanks.

I can actually have a worth post in here now that I have some new tires! Been waiting for this day for a while now. Super pleased with the outcome.

 

20x10 Fuel Maverick -12 offset with 295/55/20 Toyo AT2. Have slight rub on inner liner at full lock, but should be able to take care of it with some zip ties.

They call for 80psi but I run 70. Some guys run 60.

While this is fresh on my mind, you guys with 10ply tires, what PSI are you running?

 

I would start with 45 and go down or up accordingly. The gentlemen above who mentioned 70 or 60 has a 2500 so 45 is a good start for a 1500.

Thank you sir. Rims are 20x10 with -12 offset. I'm going to have to do the zip tie-fender mod to keep the tires from rubbing the wheel liner at full lock.

      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.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      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.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
