Hello all forum members! I'm brand new and just purchased a 20' TB LT in Satin Steel. I'm coming from a 17' Ford Raptor so I will see how they compare to each other after I have owned this TB for a while. I can't wait to get back to the rumble of a V8 instead of the EcoBoost 6. 

 

I have a question for you guys and really hoping you can help me out. My TB has the standard gloss black 18" rims and I'm wanting to put some BF Goodrich KO2's on just like my raptor had. I really liked those tires tread design and no drone on the highway at all. What is the biggest tire I can put on the factory 18" rim with no rub or requirement of trimming? FYI, I plan on putting on a rough country 1.5" level kit. Other than that the suspension staying stock. Can you also tell me where I can get the best deal on KO2's?

 

Thanks in advance and I'm glad to be here to learn from everyone about these Chevy trucks!!!

HI @flea_sly welcome to the forum! I switched from an f150 too, loving my chevy so far.

I'm still mostly stock, and don't have a trail boss, but this thread it looks like 295/60r20 is the largest:

 

Good luck!

Welcome.  As posted above those should work.  I'm sure more will chime in with advice.  I'm also looking at the same tire when my Duratracs wear out.

After researching for the last couple weeks, I'm gonna go with RC 1.5" level kit and put on Falken wildpeak 295/70r18 and call it a day!

thank you sir! I've decided do RC 1.5" front level kit and put Falken wildpeak 295/70r18 and call it a day. 

 

the factory tires are louder on this truck than the K02's on my old raptor. I'm hoping the Falken will less noisy than these goodyears I currently have on.

I just put on the RC 1.5 and 295/70r18 nitro ridge grapplers. No rub at all. Also have the satin steel! Great color

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
