I got Jacked for my 2014 sierra all terrain wheels with 305/55r20 Toyo open country at extremes this morning. Took the guys 6 minutes with factory wheel locks. Anyway I need new tire and wheel setup recommendations. I'm looking at fuel wheels but don't know what offset I should get to run a 33x12.5r20. Can anyone help me out? Pictures of current rig would also help.

I hate hearing this, sorry. But, at least you get to choose a new setup.

What's you level/lift, that will play into what offset you need.

I haven't decided if I want to keep my black chrome oe replica AT wheels or not for my Denali. I might be willing to sell my set to upgrade to 22" if your interested

Bummer. Did they set the truck on the ground or cinder blocks? Rotors okay?

Ba$tards!

 

Well now's your chance for new wheels and oversized tires!

 

Things like this make me want to put up wireless cameras around my house.

 

not like we don't have enough cameras in this day and age!

Sucks that people do these types of things. I often wonder if the wheel locks are even worth it. I'd wager that most wheel thieves have the special tool for a variety of wheel locks, so it doesn't even deter them.

I would check that mysterious white van parked "Texas style" outside your house:) Sorry to hear this OP!

Wheel locks are a joke. Hammer a socket onto the lock and it comes right off with a socket wrench, and ALL tire shops have complete sets for all manufacturers - you can absolutely buy the "keys".

 

Sorry that it happened to you, and in your own driveway!!!

Definitely watch CraigsList and eBay - there's a reasonable chance they'll cross one of those two sites. Might be pretty hard to prove that they're yours, but you could certainly pass the info along to the cops.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
