Not to kick a dead horse but just looking for some clarification before I pull the trigger and decide for good. Im gonna get a 20x9 rim with either a 0 or +1 offset. Depends on the rim I decide. What i need to figure out before purchase is tire size. I'm not dead set on a 33 even though it would be nice and I've seen so many with 33s on 2.5 levels I'm sure I can swing them. I think i have narrowed them down to a ridge grappler 295/55/20 (32.8x12.2) or a Terra grappler g2 285/55/20 (32.4x11.7) , 275/60/20 (33x10.8). Thoughts?

I Just don't want to get them on and have an oh sh#t momement

20X9 +18 with 33x12.5 sticks out about .250", +10 is about .500", and 0 is about 1". These are all dimensions taken using a leveled truck with the Toyo RTs.

Toyo RT or ridge grapplers. I personally would stay away from the Terras. We had 3 sets and the most we got out of them was 28K with weekly air checks and rotation every 5K. Now we run the Toyos RTs and MTs and love them. Ridge grapplers have a ton of good reviews and one of my contractors runs them on all 3 of his trucks with 0 complaints.

Damn you Sprayed. Lol. Not that I was set on the terras but the Toyo rt's are backordered so the ridge seems so far my only other choice. I get the offset or less offset the tires will come out further I'm more worried about a certain tire size having problems ..such as rubbing or needing more like heavy trimming. I don't mind trimming the felt liner or zip tying them back. I don't have the front spoiler anymore so that's not a problem. I just would like to know if a 32.5-33 tire with 11-12.5 width will fit. I've used the calcs and that tell how the tire sits but not how inside a Chevy wheelwell

11-12.50 will fit no problem, I even seen guys that want to keep their factory black rims using 305/55r20s, I'm pretty confident that's 33.2/ 12 BUT THEY DO GET RUBBING ON THE CONTROL ARM.

 

one thing to keep in mind is the wider the tire the more it slips in rain.

I run a 20x9 +18 with a 8mm spacer (they didn't make the wheel in a +10). Tires are 33x12.5 Toyo rts. No rubbing on anything and it clears the steel control arms. I didn't want the 0 offset as I try to keep the flat treaded area of the tire under the fenders. I tow a 18' roll back with our 32 Ford on it and didn't need to chance tossing crap up on the streetrod.

 

*Edit I have a 2.25" front lift using the second notch on the bilestein strut and a 1.5" lower spacer. It came out exactly at 2.25" after the suspension settled.

      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.
