I love those tires. Have them on my 17ATX. What would increasing the tire size do to your rear ratio? I would love to get bigger tires but don’t want to change the ratio for the worse

I have a 2" lift all around and stock wheels and I put on 285/65r18 tires, Nitto RidgeGrapplers...  I almost think I could go one size taller, but then it's an oddball size and your choices will be limited...

You think this new thread will give any different information? There is only so many tire sizes. I would take all the info you have gained and do a chart of those you know fit, those that may and those that won't with out trimming and decide what route you are willing to take. Each is different, where some swear up and down they fit a 34 with out rubbing others need to trim with a touch over a 33, so many factors. That's why searching, gathering info and taking time to decide is best and what sounds best here.

 

The biggest tire is probably a 35, are you willing to trim? Different tires are different sizes depending on type, shape, ect. So what may fit a light AT tire a MT might not at the same size and so forth...

Stock wheels are 18x8.5" with a 24mm offset.  They are not 18X9". 

 

275/70/18, 275/65/18, 285/65/18 are the three safest that I can think of without needing more lift or trimming.

 

Per rough country on stock wheel 285/65/18 is the widest their kit is designed for  http://www.roughcountry.com/gm-leveling-lift-kit-1307.html 

Thanks great info

You got a picture of your setup ?

Here are a few from when I picked it up at the dealer after they tossed on the lift and new tires.  I think it came out just about perfect.  Maybe somewhere down the line I will lift it some more, or try 1 size taller tires, even if it means then cutting the wheel well and installing color-matched fender flairs...  But to me it has a good stance, decent clearance without it being too top-heavy looking and compromising the handling much...

      Wiring Help, Please

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      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. 😉
