I am looking for new tires on my 2014 1500 ltz with 18" option, the goodyears that are on there suck, they spin all the time, winter is coming and wondering what my options are, the truck is stock with 80,000 miles.

Interesting. I've got 60k on mine but I have never really liked them. Gonna replace with Duratracs before snow.

Are you looking to go a larger size than stock?

possibly, not sure what will fit, i want the new BFG KO2's , but not one for the 18" version, the 31x10.5 are on sale at fleetfarm for $168 ea. and i wonder if they will work.

Is your truck a 4 wheel drive, is it stock height or is there a level kit on it?

Dude that is amazing I could not stand the goodyears more than 25000 miles on my 2014 and do not like them on this 2016. There is no way that I will put up with crappy tires for 80000 miles. Michelins are in my near future.......

Yes, its 4x4 and stock leveling.

You've got 80k on your 2014 already?

I replaced mine with Cooper Discoverer AT3 & couldn't be happier. Same size but thses have a wider cross section at the tread & look great

I recently went with Pro Comp A/T Sport. They have a great mileage warranty, and are surprisingly quiet. Handle fantastic on the pavement wet or dry, zero issues on dry off-road, and shed mud about as well as I would ever expect an A/T. Went through some stuff just last weekend that I am positive the BFG's would have never made it out of.

I had stock 265/70R18 Michelin LTX AT2's on my 2500 and they were just plain lousy. But I need a tire that covers the full spectrum... muddy gravel roads, farm/ranch off road, heavy wet or drifting snows, highway to town, etc. I have 1.5 miles minimum to cover on gravel roads get to the highway. Other directions, even longer to get to hard surface road. I put on the next size up... 275/70R18... BFG AT KO2's. Totally a world of difference. A very good tire for all my needs. Ride is much better and handling on loose gravel is fantastic. Well worth the money. Surprisingly quiet for an LT all terrain tire.

I was very happy with the A/T3's on our '10-1500 in some crazy snow storms here in Mi.

 

Keep us posted how you like them once the snow flies!!!

The AT3's do great in the snow. I had those on both of my Silverado's the past few winters here in PA and was quite impressed over the BFG's I used to run. You should not have any traction issues from those Coopers.

      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.
