Finally made a decision on a new set of tires. I compared every A/T on the market in the 265/70R18 in Standard Load. A lot of thought went into this purchase. I wanted to stay with SL due to ride quality and weight. I don't need a LT 10 ply tire on my truck.

 

In the end the new Falken Wildpeak AT3W won out over the Nitto G2, Toyo A/T2, Grabber A/T2, and the BFG Rugged Terrain. I created a spreadsheet that compared weight, tread depth, warranty, overall size, severe weather rating, etc.

 

Chose the AT3W b/c it has 14/32" tread depth, severe weather rated, nice side wall lugs, nice tread gaps, 55k warranty, weight is only 8lbs more than stock, and price.

 

Got these at a local shop for $750 installed including mount and balance with road hazard warranty and tax.504184ff5900fe1338710a57a91cb3d9.jpg4a3ba033f7307f6f271f9eac4894fe76.jpg5dde1159aaad2686fc151874c53d5696.jpg

Have you noticed a difference in gas mileage?

One more

What's the offset on those wheels? I'm thinking of staying with 18's instead of going up to 20s

Too soon to tell just yet. I sit in stop and go on the way to work. But I have a trip this week that will be a good indication of fuel consumption.

So I just added a 2.5 Rough country level w/ blocks on some 285/75/18 Toyo ATs on my stock wheels.

I noticed some rubbing that is from one of the lower shock bolts. Anyone else encounter this problem?

I've read that some people just put the bolts the other way so they have the head of the bolt where the nut it.

Toyo A/T II Xtremes - 295/60/20 on 2.5 Bilstein/RC combo level. Good clearance. No rubbing at all.

Agreed. This is exactly what I did on my RC level before I swapped it out for the Bilsteins. Just flip the bolts over. Plenty of room.

Yeah the motofab level has you put the bolt on top nut on bottom. Not sure why you would ever do it the other way.

I had this wheel and tire set up for a short while didn't like the way it looked so I sold that set. Was Nitto Trail Grabber 295/60/20 wrapped around a set of KMC XD 20x10 Monster 2...

 

I'm now running stock all terrain 20s wrapped around a set of 285/65/20 BFG KO2 and I absolutely wouldn't change a thing. The left is a a 4.5 inch suspension lift made by zone

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
