My 2021 Sierra Denali 3500 long box duramax arrived on Wednesday, happy it came in three weeks early. Loving it so far, these new trucks are so much bigger!!!

Traded in my 2015 early run Silverado 3500 Duramax LT, paid 48k for it in 2014 and they gave me 45k in trade plus the additional tax credit. Sad to see it go but have been mad about lacking the newer style mirrors once they updated them a few months after purchase in 2014.

Here is the new one and the trade. Added Fuel Blitz 20x9 +20 offset in black with Nitto Ridge Grappler 295/65/20 tires, stock height. Have a Bakflip tonneau on order, tint schedule next week, and window vents to install. Sweet ride so far!!!

Just picked this 2020 Sierra 2500hd AT4 used and traded my 2005 Nissan Armada.  Wow, this is different!  Riding on Nitto Ridge Grapplers 37x13.5x20 with a small lift kit.  Some rubbing which I will have to address.  First time Diesel truck owner and loving it.

Looks great!  What/where/how much rubbing are you experiencing with those 13.5's?

Looks great. What did your use for the color matching on the front end?

Do you experience any rubbing with the 295/65/20 tires?

Looks like the previous owner made some small mods to the front of the wheel well to get by.  The rubbing is limited to the mud guards on the front wheel wells and enough that it is wearing through the first layer of plastic.  I only hear the rubbing when I turn sharply such as backing out of parking areas or tight street turns.  My spare is a 37x12.50 which the width may or may not be better for rubbing.  I may think about moving to 35s on my next set but not sure.

I had an order in for a new 2500, but it still hadn’t been picked up by GM after about a month. So I found this one a few hours away, and I picked it up on Saturday morning.

    • Yes that's right, it's the upgrade that includes the overload spring and all that stuff.   Someday when I'm empty and going by a scale I'm going to stop in and get some weight readings.   Exactly  you should have the ability to change individual settings, in in Canada so I'm driving with kph but then I'm stuck with kpa when I want psi lol    
    • You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !
    • This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.  
    • My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page
