You need a reset tool which you have to use even after rotating the tires. I plan on buying one after the 24,000 mile maintenance warranty runs out. The tire place might have one but if not just go by a dealer and maybe they won't charge just for a TPMS reset. Only takes a couple minutes.

Thanks!

All you guys that switched from the factory P tires to taller/wider sizes and got stuck with LT tires, what's the ride like? I'm leaning towards sticking to a P tire but wouldn't mind switching to LT if the ride isn't too bad. My truck is my DD so I keep that kind of stuff in mind.

I didn't really get stuck with an LT tire I wanted it. I didn't notice much of a change in ride quality… I just prefer an LT over a P rated tire…

I put about 10,000 miles on the stock SRA's before moving to my Duratracs. I ran the SRA around 36psi cold, I now run my DuraTrac's at 40psi cold (rated for 80psi) . I've found the ride to be slightly stiffer but actually prefer the ride with the stiffer side wall- it also makes mounting curbs in NYC far less nerveracking.

I went from the stock 275/55/20 SR-A tires to 35/13.5R20 Toyo RT and haven't noticed a difference. There's an in tial change in feel in your butt but after a couple hundred miles that goes away.

Anything I've done to this truck is 100% reversible. When I sell it in two years it will be as stock as the day it left the dealer!

Finally pulled the trigger on rims and tires. Fuel nutz D251 20x9 with +20 offset. Tires are nitto trail grappler 295/55. Truck has a 2" level haven't noticed any rubbing as of yet. I think there might be some minor rubbing at full lock on the sway bar. Also tye wrapped the fender liner back just to be on the safe side and give a little more clearance.

Beautiful truck sir. I've always loved those wheels. I doubt I'll ever get rid of the stockers on mine but if I do those would be the ones to replace them.

Man, that looks good! Like those wheels. You can post as many pics of that truck as you want. I won't complain.

    • It's a '21 and was a CPO with extended protection when purchased, so hopefully it will be covered.   I supposedly have all of it's service record history and nothing noted other than routine fluid changes, tire rotations, and the windshield washer nozzles replaced once. 
    • I would argue that GMPartsDirect has that info wrong.    The service manual for R+R the lower arm and for adjusting camber/caster, none of the steps say to discard and replace the nut or the bolt.    The only part that gets discarded is the plastic cam adjustment retainer that is in the eccentric from the factory.     The LCA nut torque spec is:  First Pass: 180 Y (133 lb ft) Final Pass: 90 –105 Degrees   That is WELL past 130ft.lbs per the TSB that you reference that does not apply to this scenario.     As for your clunk.  I'd say it needs to be diagnosed thoroughly.  Assuming the LCA hardware is tight, you could have a problem with the UCA, sway bar end links, etc.      
    • The filtering to wear relationship goes like this:      'Relative Engine Life "Factor" new divided by the factor old. So 8/3= 2.67. That result is the multiplier thus if a motor had an effective life of 100K using a filter with a 45 micron rating at a Beta ratio of 75 then a filter with a micron rating of 10 at a Beta of 75 would improve expected engine life to 267,000 miles.    Wear metals are an indirect indicator. Less is better and the motor lives longer but there isn't a multiplier like there is for filtration so well documented. Most of that has to do with the sensitivity of the wear metals tests themselves. They read a 'slice' of the spectrum but not the absolute values for the entire spectrum. So a general indicator that is used WITH the results of other tests. Two others considered in this post. Trending is very important.    There is also the influence of corrosive wear which may be seen in the wear metals but separate from load based or viscosity mitigated indication. It's a small graph but the gray line is wear vs the TBN/TAN crossover. Not as useful as it used to be as there are now new chemistries for acid remediation that don't show up in standard UAO testing. They will catch up or be found liars. Only two possible outcomes, eh?             
    • One thing that comes up over and over is that the torque converters are the weak link. Many of the failed transmissions have the same thing in common. The torque converter grenades and then metal torque converter shards end up destroying the transmission. One of the best things you can do is if your transmission is still fully functional, change out to one of the aftermarket billet torque converters. There are several good choices mentioned in different threads here to make your choice. After that, then you can decide about trans tuning. My trans failed at around 95,000 miles. It got replaced under the GM protection plan. The remanufactured trans comes with a 100,000 mile /3 year warranty. I still have just under 1 year left. So far, so good. As long as it's still working good next year, an aftermarket torque converter is going to get installed early spring. If the trans and OEM torque converter fail by then, I will get it replaced under warranty and immediately have an aftermarket torque converter installed. A warranty replacement trans of a replacement trans will no longer have the warranty so I will bulletproof it from the get go.
