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.

      Oil Change

      By Erfar · Posted

      have you stuck with dealer oil changes since then? I made the same switch after getting tired of crawling around under the truck, but I’ve found some dealers are way better than others about getting you in quickly. Curious if yours has been good about scheduling or if you’ve had to look elsewhere for quicker turnaround.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thank you.   I am set on a 3.0 Duramax as my previous truck with a Ford Ecoboost had just as many, if not more, "common" issues.  Cam phasers, timing chain issues, 10-speed valve body and CDF drum, emissions issues, etc.  So I figured, why not get 2x the fuel mileage (these things got 27+mpg on every mixed city/highway test drive I put them through) and better towing capability with resale value to boot?   My minimum, shortest trip will be 50 miles 1-way and I regularly go out of state with a travel trailer.  I'm planning on using this for a marketing/event promotion business also, which would require regular towing of trailers for bands, DJs, sound and lighting gear, along with my personal camera gear for filming events.   Looked at other trucks in the $30k+ price range but the issues seem to be everywhere, plus too many with gaudy mods.  I'm literally sticking with RWD trucks because they tend to be actually used as trucks, vs. the 4x4 models I've seen with unsafe lifts, huge tires, and general mods that would affect reliability (I'm wondering if some of them were tuned, hence the aggressive throttle response and hard shifting).   So my goal is to find a stock, 3.0 with 1 or 2 owners, in good physical condition, and decently well maintained.  Can't seem to find that up here, everything in the $27-30k range has had multiple owners, smoke smell, issues, or body damage.  Or the ridiculously modified trucks with 80k miles for under $27k but lots of problems...

      OCI, not when but why?

      That’s pretty tough Grumpy. I reread the previous few posts. They all reference oil changes. Much like your last thread. In my humble opinion it keeps things interesting.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Engine Wear and ISO 4406   1.) Cold Starts. 2.) High Particle Count. 3.) Low operating temperature viscosity and high low temperature cranking viscosity. 4.) Depleted AW, Friction and Acid packages.  5.) High engine load.    https://me.caltexlubricants.com/en_me/home/learning/from-chevron/heavy-duty-diesel-vehicles-and-equipment/The-Importance-of-Clean-Engine-Oil-and-Its-Impact-on-Equipment-and-Business-Performance.html   High particle counts have five sources. 1.) They are manufactured within the engine. Both wear debris and amalgamation of degradation products and combustion driven soot (worse in GDI). 2.) They are ingested via intake air. Ever hear the best oil filter is a good air filter? 3.) They are entrained in the fuel. 4.) This one is insidious. They are introduced in 'fresh oil'. 5.) They are introduced during the oil change.   ISO 4406 is the test that measures and quantifies the combine effects of all of the above particle related issues. You can mitigate your way into multiples of engine life by being attentive to them all.    https://www.hyprofiltration.com/blog/is-new-oil-clean   (from the link above)    [Quote] What Is the Recommended ISO 4406 Cleanliness Code for New Oil?   A good upper limit for new oil cleanliness is 16/14/11 (ISO 4406). Typical new oil usually has ISO codes of 19/17/15 or worse, which is far too dirty for sensitive components. This can be a major cause of degradation and premature failure.
