Ran them through any mud yet? I'm not too worried about snow here, though obviously if you have to put up with those conditions the duratracs are the way to go. I have yet to decide between them or Toyo MTs. Hell thought about BFG KM2s but idk how well they wear. I know the RTs will handle dirt i just have yet to see how they handle mud. The big side lugs should clean well as much space that's in between them, but i see the middle pretty much gumming up with the buckshot/clay we have down here.

 

This is another reason i switched to 17s, weight. The 285/70/17 RT is 58lbs as opposed to 69lbs for the 33x12.5x20 RT. Though the difference between comparable MTs isn't as much 69lbs to 72lbs. All according to Toyo's specifications anyhow.

 

So is that your city mileage that got cut or overall? Overall would kill me but i do expect to take a hit. Going to try and counter it with exhaust/tune/CAI.

 

I've also given a lot of thought to Mickey Thompson ATZ or MTZ also, just don't know how they wear.

The dirt roads I run down do get muddy and they hold traction very well. Unfortunately I do have to deal with snow, ice, extra....

That is overall milage. I run about 50miles per day most being on the highway. But I do run 75-90mph too at 4500ft+ elevation. I almost went with MTs but the RTs were new and alittle more pavement friendly. That part Im very happy with.

I'll getting a new wheel/tire setup soon. I'm going 275/65/20 on a 20x9 rim. Since the rims are a little wider than stock should I go +1 or +20 offset. I have 2.5" RC level with rear block thx

Stock All Terrain Wheels are 20x9 with a +27 offset with 275/55/20's tires.

 

Your new set up isn't wider, but 2" taller. But if it were me, I would go with the +1 offset on the new wheels. It will push your tires out some, almost making your truck 2" wider. (You would be pushing your wheels outward 26mm, which is close to over inch, but over inch for each wheel)

Oh k I thought the stock wheels were 8.5"

 

The wider stance would be great but would it not cause more of a potential rubbing issue?

The less positive offset (closer to zero), the more you will get your your away from your upper control arm, so less rubbing there. The rubbing from the taller tire will be around your inner fender. Most people can zip tie them back or trim them and be fine

For those of you running an LT rated tire, how harsh is the ride over stock? I have Toyo Open Country At2's (275-60-20) on my stock 20's right now (P rated), but am planning on getting some new wheels in the next few mos and putting on 275-65-20 or 295-55-20 Toyo Open Country AT2 which are LT 10 ply and weigh about 14-17lb more than my current tires. Any real world experience on those sizes and tire sizes/brand as far as ride and mpg loss would be greatly appreciated!

Do you have any pictures up close of this tire. I'm thinking about buying this exact tire. Would be great if I could see the tires on the truck already. I want to move up the the LT tire too because I think I read on here that the LT tire has a different tread pattern than the P rated. Have you seen if the LT275/65/20 has a significantly different tread?

Hard to say, I lifted my truck at the same time. Definitely doesn't have the "Cadillac" ride, but it looks cool, and goes where I need it to

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      So, do I go elbow-deep on this thing or list it for sale and play dumb? Seems to "runs good."   I'm about $1200 away from having: -a rebuilt injector ($300) -a new cat ($250) -a new cat back exhaust (OE style) ($300) -a new AC compressor ($200) -AC refrigerant charge ($150)   In theory, this should rectify the obvious detracting issues from its value and operability. Cold AC with a non-squeaking AC pulley both sounds and feels good. An exhaust that isn't cut/hacked in 17 different places and doesn't vibrate on a crossmember would make it sound and feel less janky. A working cat would help the stink, and will save the earth, but *if and only if* the fuel system is working properly, which would also address the intermittent "rich" CEL.   Heard a good one... CEL for "Rich condition" means you haven't spent enough money on the truck lately, and it's letting you know.   Rebuilding the injector would seem to be the most important part. Replacing the cat would be secondary. I don't think mine is plugged or overly restricted, but it might be a little restricted? I have no good way to tell other than seat of the pants feel. I hate the smell.   The current theory is I have a rich idle problem: A bad fuel pressure regulator, or a leaking injector(s) being the highest probabilities. I already replaced the FPR but that doesn't mean its replacement isn't also bad. It was a new part from Dorman, but the packaging looked like it had been sitting on a shelf for 20 years.   This is the (single) upstream O2 sensor shown at idle. I'm getting a lot of "rich" it seems. Sometimes it stays high like that and doesn't drop down. That makes me think it's processing injector leaks or a partially stuck open injector.     Other times it looks like this. Nice oscillations between rich and lean, which is what I think it should be. Under load and at speed, the oscillations are nice and tight and uniform looking, high and low.     Fuel trims suggest the PCM is compensating pretty hard at idle to pull fuel out. But it's not enough to trip a CEL. Something about slowing to a stop: brake vaccum booster, EGR, or the EVAP purge is delayed, or there's pooled fuel in the intake again that's draining into a cylinder is enough to set the CEL. Of course, in two days of driving, it hasn't set. I was hoping to actually look at the freeze-frame data when it sets. IAT is high because it's idling on an 83 degree day here.

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

      Gas fill door

      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.

      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.
