I ordered my wheels(22s OEM) .   Now which size tire.  I can do 35s, but dont want to slow it down even more.  So how bad is it going to be if I go to 33s?  Can a tuner make it up.  Not worried about gas mileage.

What motor do you have? Are you currently running a 33 inch heavy ply/mud tire? I went from the stock size to a 295/60R20 toyo mt 10 ply which is somewhere around a 34.5 inch tire. It was noticeable in how it performs now. 5.3l with stock 3.42 gearing. I'd would say if your coming from 33s to 35s you wouldn't notice much. Regearing would definitely help. No input on tuners..

Important to know which engine. I have a 5.3 with a Diablosports Predator tuner and 35" Ridge Grapplers on the stock 18s and it still can move. Definitely not as fast but that should be known. Especially with the 5.3 and 3.42s. I say go for it. Go big or go home.

So I have the 5.3.  I'm on stockers(31?). I'll need 33s minimum, just dont want to slug my truck out.  I added 35s to a Jeep Rubi and it killed acceleration. The 5.3 is no rocket already.  So I'll be going stock to 33s or 35s.  I wont regear.

I thought it was pretty quick stock. Just my opinion. If you're worried about being sluggish bigger tires without gears aren't the answer. It's going to happen to any vehicle. Like I said though it gets and goes just fine with the 6spd

Well you're on a truck forum buddy. For a truck it's pretty quick stock. A few bolt ons and other mods and it'll smoke a stock 5.0. But that's not the point. Between 33 or 35 or being slow I'd recommend looking at tires that aren't LT aka heavy. My old truck had a set of Terra Grapplers that were called P tires. They aren't super heavy duty like a LT but they're almost significantly lighter. Weight is everything.

Weight and diameter.  If Op is happy with 33's, then definitely these would be less taxing on performance than 35's.  You can actually buy good looking and high performing tires at stock height and weight classification.  Bigger, heavier tires create an aggressive and strong looking truck but the irony is that  bigger tires rob performance.

I hope you are talking about the truck and not the Mustang. At first I thought mustang and thought you can't be serious. Then I remembered the trucks can get the 5.0 too.

Well I was originally talking about the truck however a built truck can beat a built Mustang if done right. Of course with mode than just "bolt ons"

I've got a 2018 LTZ crew cab with the 6.2 max tow 3.42. I went from stock 275/55/20's to  285/60/20 Toyo RT's. That's a 33.5", 62 Lb. tire.  I could definitely feel a difference in take off power after the tires.. I enjoy the performance of the truck too much to go 35's and kill the power even more. Just wish they would have kept the 3.73 ratio in the max tows.

I may do 285/55r22s.   34.3x11.2.     Makes sense since the OEMs are only 9.

Lot of people here running that size with a 2" level and stock wheels.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
