Nice ride. What’s the tire size? Block in the back?

Thanks,

No block in the rear. Just a 2 inch leveling kit in the front and 275/60/20 KO2's.

You didn’t want the rake in the back? Curious why u didn’t go with the 285/60-20 KO2’s.

Im not a fan of the rear of the truck being higher than the front at all.  I personally like the front and back perfectly level or as close as possible. The 285/60-20 only comes in a E rating and I do not need the tow rating with the way I use my truck...its more of an office on wheels. So I went with the 275 cause of the C rating for MPG reasons. They are quite a few pounds lighter then the E rated tires.

Never understood this. Sure you do. You just do it expecting it to be bad. Tracking fuel mileage can help you plan a budget or it can help you realize an issue with a vehicle. Now getting upset or losing sleep over losing fuel mileage after mods i do agree is useless.

No, I honestly dont. I'm at the gas station alot tho I just top it off whenever I'm around one and pick up a drink and lottery ticket , protien bar etc. I enjoy gas station visits actually. lol. Enjoy all the " Nice Truck!" Comments I guess...

Changing the tire size I would think it going to throw your speedo and odometer off. Would think you need to have recalibrated to the new tire size to be accurate for fuel tracking. Hypertech makes one.

2020 Custom 2wd

2.5” front/ 2” rear Motofab

Stock 20” wheels and tires for now. Would like to go up a little on the tires, maybe a bit wider. Not sure if I want/need spacers and if so how much. Rear wheel well inserts will really help.

 

If I go with spacers with stock 20 inch wheels I wonder how big/wide I can go without rubbing. So many variables to consider...

    • That should answer the maximum depth difference between the stock and the PPE so its not hugely lower. As to the PML pan, they don't make any claims that it fits the L8T with the same transmission and in fact leave their information confusing, however on the surface it says "for Duramax" and so its hard to say. I know a while back and not sure which brand it was that specifically stated that the extra capacity pan that particular company made did NOT fit the gas version. 
    • There are several versions of the 5100's. Some for stock height, some for leveled, some for lifted.    Side note. I finally had a chance to tow with my 30' gooseneck with about 10,000 lbs of material on it this past week. Hands down the 5100's made the trailer towing much more stable and comfortable. I even had 10 cmu blocks in the bed. What a difference over the stock shocks. 
    • According to PML, the stock pan is 4.3" deep - (PML info): Dimensions: at deepest area, PML pan is 7 inches, stock pan is 4.3 inches    PPE is 5.4" so roughly 1.1" deeper than stock
    • I had not realized that PPE has come out with a version of a cast aluminum oil pan specific to being able to fit onto the 10L1000 with the L8T engine sometime this spring. I was doubting that anyone would come out with something beyond what Dorman had in more of a direct factory pan swap. I see from one comment that is on the PPE site that they found the pan to be tighter to install then the factory unit and having to flex the exhaust down to fit it. I didn't lookup any specs if they have any as per how much lower it hangs but as it holds more oil and has fins outside the pan it would no doubt hang a certain amount lower.    I looked back at the site and they do have some depth measurements to get a rough comparison to the factory pan total height or hang down if you will at the front and rear of the pan so that will give a good idea how much further down this pan would end up being for ground clearance issues.    2024-2026 GM 6.6L Gas 10L1000 Heavy-Duty Cast Transmission Pan – Pacific Performance Engineering    
    • I'm in constant amazement over the number of people that do oil maintenance by how they feel, what they were told, what materials cost, what brand A claims vs brand B.     Come to think of it, this behavior isn't exclusive to oil. 🤔 They drive this way too. 😬   There is a 20 plus page thread on BITOG on Mobil 1 Advanced Clean vs Valvoline Restore and Protect it would be amusing if it were not so........humanly pitiful.   Last Sunday we were are sitting at services and listening to a speaker talk about Jesus parable of the wide and narrow gates and he said something that hadn't dawned on me but totally fit the way people in general are about just about everything. He said there are so few people on the narrow path leading to a good reward not because the the narrow gate was hidden or hard to find but because the wide gate leading to a bad end it so darn easy and uncomplicated to follow!!!
