Good afternoon, I'm looking at a new set of rubber for the 1500 and i was wondering if anyone has ran a 275/70/18 with stock set up. Leveling kit is in the near future but tires come first. roughly a 33.2" tire. If so any rub? Second question does anyone have any experience with Fallken wildpeak at3 All reviews I have read they seem to be a very well performing tire at there price point.

I don't have that exact size. I run 285/70/17. Love this size cause of the extra rubber. I have a 3.5 lift and have a little bit of rub on 2015 1500. I am also running the falKen wildpeak at3 atw. I love these tires. Great in the rain, only a little bit of dirt use but hooks good. Trying them in the snow this weekend but they should be great since they are also rated as a snow tire. I'll update on performance after this weekend

Yes 275/70/18's fit on STOCK wheels. Aftermarket?

 

Multiple members have verified that this does work with stock wheels. I'll be doing the same before I get new coilovers.

How do you possibly have rub with a lift like that? Your tires are under 33"

Awesome thank you, it looks good just a little more rubber than stock. Mileage probably didn't see too much of a drop with only 33's?

Considering they will most likely be a load range E you can expect a couple mpg hit, they are much heavier than stock; especially in a much more aggressive hybrid type tire.

 

Take what some say with a grain of salt when they say no issues, those tires are almost 2 inches taller and a quarter inch wider. Those no rubbings are probably on flatter roads, turning on a steeper hill with a larger bump or off highway it is hard to imagine no rub with no lift...

 

They do look good though!

I've been looking for something to give me a little more power(tuner) just not sure what to get. I have an Airaide MIT, AEM dryfilter, removed the front lower airdam. MPGs were great before all this. On a 50 mile stretch from Austin to Dallas I was getting 24.3MPG according to my truck. That's before I did everything to it. MPGs have taken a hit. I do a lot of HWY driving. On avg I would get 19.5 after everything and now with the tires im at about 17-17.5. I do drive like a grandpa, but still lack throttle response. 8031d196e95fae65a858b5043e61ce8a.jpg

BlackBear tune will do you good.

 

I am curious if you ever flex your suspension and see any rubbing.

      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.

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

      By jake111 · Posted

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
