ey guys,  picking my brand new silverado 1500 this afternoon and cant wait! I'm currently running 265/70/r17 which is stock on the WT model.   I found a brand new pair on from another 2019 silverado RST model for a great deal that is 265/65/18.  seems very minor to me but will this affect my truck, void my warranty etc.....   i have the 3.42 rear axle and i believe the RST is 3.23.  only real major difference i can see.

 

thanks

Won't hurt a thing or affect warranty. One of the most popular mods is changing tires/wheels. You can put 22's if you want

There are.huge issues in tire size changes and it can void warranty if the dealer chooses to be a a55hole. But for the most part the factory computer have adaptive table to relearn for all of it at the power or.i should say torque levels of a stock truck.

The dealer can only void a warranty on something related to the mod you made. It would be very rare the would have a problem with a factory wheel and tire set up. They could only deny a claim on something related to the mod like spindles, the rest of the warranty would not be effected. That’s the Magnussen-Moss act from the Federal Government.

In the bulletins for the shake it states that if aftermarket brand or tire size in on the vehicle then they need to be replaced with factory equipment before service work can continue. So even if the dealer lies so they are paid for work order and skips step one, what happens when why can't fix the problem. And the customer is upset and issue remains? Something has to be typed on the work order.
I agree rare and I wouldn't let it stop me. But it is possible. I have personally read claims on engine service with SUPER upset customers and denied do to oil analysts. So totaled car or cost so much it is out of customers ability to pay.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
