So how much air is everybody keeping in their 35s. I had mine put on last month and after installing I notice it rides a bit hard that it use to.  After getting up to 70 plus on the highway the truck shakes a bit

 

i checked the tire pressure and it had 40 in them so I dropped the psi down to 32 hoping maybe that helps. 

 

Could it or just need re balanced? . I noticed they didn’t use the stick on weights but put the old type weight on the back of the rim edge. Think that could be the problem? 

 

Had walmart put them on so maybe that’s why lol.

I’m a big fan of big tires and low/no lift.    The tiny wheel wells of my 2011 have frustrated me in this regard. Big 32’s instead of the 33’s I always had. Then again, hard to take a cut of

I have a 1.5 motofab level kit that I plan on putting on soon and then having a alignment done. Think these bigger tires cause for an alignment themselves?

My 35” mud tires get some vibration when I go 70 too and they have the stick on weights .  If they have some aggressive tread they will.    Air pressure really depends on the tire and how many ply’s it is.   I run my tires at 60 psi .  Max is 65 psi on mine .  Most of the time tire runs smoother closer to max psi.

The manager at the 4 wheel shop looked at the truck and said there was no way they'd fit. I insisted that they mount one up and test it, they fit perfectly. I may have to adjust the wheel well liner a little, will have to see how close the tire gets once I flex it offroad. I'll take some better pictures when I get a chance. The pics make it look like the front is higher than the back, it's not, ground wasn't level. 

 

No more listening to the song of the Duratracs! :D

I'm going back quite a ways, and it doesn't look like you been on the forums much but if/when you return;

 

- how much did your MPG take a hit, preferable hand calculated not DIC

- how noticeable is the size difference, with regards to power

 

a question for those with the custom trail bosses;

- how much power loss did you experience.

 

I assume with the 6 speed 5.3 it is substantially more noticable than anyone here with the 8/10 speeds.

My 35s. Thundered M/T  35x12.50x18.    Wish I could figure this shaking out. Gonna take it to somewhere else and have the tires balanced and rotated. Hopefully it helps

No guts no glory. I went ahead and did the Rough Country 1318 2in level. It was anything but level. It had had the front up an inch higher than the rear. So out go the factory AT4 blocks and in come 3in ones. Sits dead level now. Went with 35x12.50x20 Nitto Trail Grapplers. Was a little nervous since they measure and true 35in and 13.39 wide. A 1/4 spacer was needed on the front since the width of tire was causing a light rub on the upper control arms. Removed the mud flap bracket, trimmed the mudflap, and pushed and pulled the liner out of the way. No rubs, lock to lock now.

Where did you get the rear 3” blocks from?

Well. Took it to a different shop and had the tires balanced and rotated. They changed the weights from the clip on to stick on kind, helped some but still bouncing a bit.    Guess I’ll try the balance beads and if that don’t help, I’ll have some 35x12.50x18’s for sale lol

18. Rim width is 8.5. 

Positive about that 8.5? most of the previosu stock wheels were 7.5.

 

The offset is important too, anyone have the details.

Yea. The stock factory rims are positive offset.   I think it’s because I went to the wider tire. Should of went with 10 instead of 12.5.    Don’t know if I should even try the balancing beads or just throw the factory tires back on and try to sell these 35s

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
