I would definatly swap out out those OEM factory 20" monster rims guys!!! They are made in China if you take em off and look on the inside rim. they come will really low quality tires too, the treads chunk off and fall apart after 10k miles.. next step install a quality US made set of tires. preferably Goodyear $$$. I recommend getting a set of takeoffs from the 18" Z71 rims and a high quality tire before you chase your tail swaping driveline parts

The low quality tires you speak of ARE Goodyear, they suck.

i have the goodyear wrangler from a z71 tahoe and they great for the street, good grip, and nice wear to them. unlike the cheap ass 20" tires that came factory , the treads would break apart. with only 10k miles

what model goodyears?  why do they suck?

if the tires aren't the problem then I would start with the Chinese made 20" OEM rims. dump those turds. the mexicans think they're awsome and pay big bux for them so , unload those wobly goblins on em.

Wranglers are the cheap models. My truck came with them and had a vibration, big surprise it was the cheap tires. They wear fast and have poor all weather traction.

they wear very evenly in the dry California  roads , they should wear out faster cause they're so damn grippy, this doesnt mean they suck. they do what they where designed to do. I've had Goodyear pilots  on other cars, which only last 10-12k miles, but they dont suck. traction all day long.  now a hard cheapo tire that came factory on the 20" wagon wheels lasted longer but did chunk apart and has shitty grip

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
