I do have the 5.3. I wouldn't say I noticed any stress on the truck when I switched tires.

My gas mileage is another story, I now average about 16 mpg. I was getting closer to 19 mpg stock pre level and 33" tires.

I'm not complaining, I'm very happy with my truck.

Same here on the mpg hit after going to Nitto Grappler G2 305/55-20's 33.5x12" tires. Hope to get 1-2 mpg back after a DiabLew tune. No complaints here either. Love truck and look.

After tune let us know if you see an increase in MPG. I'd like to get some MPG back as well.

Good luck with getting 1-2 mpg back. If anything you might loose that after the tune. Not complaining on my lew tune, but you won't help stepping more on the pedal. The diablo tuner does have a tune for economy though which I been wanting to test out when I ever I get around it.

I gained about 1 mpg back with a canned 91 Diablo tune. Now that it's winter and I'm remote starting a lot is tough to verify. I'm hoping it's closer to 2 mpg. I lost about 3 with 275/60R20 Duratracs.

 

The problem is after the tune all you want to do is drive hard hahaha.

In the summer I average 17 mpg. On my mostly rural commute. Live in a hill town it's about a 1800 ft elevation change from home to work about 25 miles away. I have the Diablo intune running 87 octane tune. Tires calibrated correctly and AFM turned off. I lose almost a 1 mile per gallon in winter.

I can get 21-22 mpg on the highway over along trip. I am also running duratracs 277/65r 20

My truck is 2wd.,When I pull back felt, full turn lock, my tire barely cleared the metal. On mine zip tie wouldn't have done much. I was stuck between the Fuel Maverick D538 (black with machine accent) & D537 (machine face with black lip. Went with 538 and just ordered some Anzo ubar headlights in black. Will be putting HID bulbs in low beams. Swapping out my all chrome grill for chrome with black overlay and black bow tie. Ill be switching out the gold tail gate bow tie to black as well. (the little things, ha). Choosing these black rims gave me a few more ideas. I'll post a pic when installed.

Posting an updated pic of my front end facelift that was inspired by my new rims. I'm really happy with it. All took about an hour to take apart and put back together.

Anzo u-bar headlights (4k/55 watt phillips ultravision HID bulb swap, almost went brighter but didn't want to be that jerk that blinds people in cars in front of me)

Black overlay on grill.

Plastidipped bowtie emblem.

      GM discontinuing interior parts on a 5YO vehicle??

      By Dkd71 · Posted

      The part # is 84520447, mine does not have the cooled seats but I'm willing to possibly change the cover and foam if needed.   I tried that site and a few others,  added to cart and then paid. About an hout later I received a refund stating it has been discontinued.

      Installed Bilstein 5100's on my 2024 2500HD - Worth it - VIDEO + GIVEAWAY Inside

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Thought I would add to what Bruce answered, not only do the HD models use the torsion bar system, there are I believe 5 different torsion bar spring ratings that are all physically interchangeable with all the HD trucks going from a two wheel drive 2500 all the way up to the duramax or a gas engine truck with a snow plow prep package front end weight capacity that use the maximum sized torsion bar. It starts from a 4400 lb rated set in 400 lb increments up to 6000 lb. If one wants to fine tune the ride for a certain truck application they can swap out the torsion bars.

      OIL CONSUMPTION

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      First off pay close attention to what Newdude pasted as he is a GM tech !.    I have a couple of questions which might cross off some questions others on this forum would be wondering about as well. So when was the engine oil changed prior to this trip, was it almost brand new oil or did it already have a fair bit of use on it before you started the trip.   Did you check the oil level on flat ground and was it at the full mark just before leaving on this trip which I gather from google map is about 700 miles or so. Why I ask and this is not the first time in history that has happened, that either a dealer or some other shop changed the oil on the vehicle and the vehicle left the shop and the owner ( you ) assumed the engine oil was full but in reality the person who changed the oil simply did not put enough oil into the engine .. it happens !. Also that a shop put the wrong viscosity oil in and an engine was not happy with that thinner viscosity and oil got past the rings at a higher rate than the proper viscosity. Not to mention if there was any leaking out of a drain plug or the filter gasket etc.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      You could, although in the end it really doesn't make much difference what comes out in exact terms since it comes down to putting enough back in so that there is enough volume so that something flows back out once the trans is up to temp for the check procedure. I presume your putting a pan on that has a drain plug but its probably the same pan mold/size as at least a while back no extra volume pan was made for the gas truck version due to the exhaust cross over pipe issue. All I can say as per volume I put back in and this was based on changing out the filter as some is trapped in it that does not come out until its removed because of the way its made inside and my truck had sat over night with the trans having been hot when shut down and dripping internally before I pulled the pan. I went off of what the trans shop suggested as a minimum volume he found worked which was 9 1/2 quarts and I had enough flow out of the stand pipe that I knew I was right on the money once it slowed to a dribble and never wasted hardly any oil but it would be totally fine to throw in a full 10 quarts too. I guess personally I wouldn't ruin a perfectly good pan by drilling a hole in it, not with the cost of replacement pans up here or the dorman one anyway with the drain was 500.00 when I priced one out a while back, totally stupid.    I might not have said before but this trans oil type really expands with heat and I think its been said on this forum and the trans shop said the same so I wanted to try and hit the lower temp of the range vs at the top or go shooting above it as that would allow more oil to flow out which wouldn't be ideal.

      By bruceb58 · Posted

      Since I am going to be replacing the pan, I am just going to drill a hole in the original to drain it so I will be able to catch the fluid easier and measure how much I took out.
