I think MPG regulations had something to do with this ? But next sidewall size up 70 series would have looked even better 

 

Because it seems like GM cares more about it then Chrysler does.  Not sure if CARE Is the right word ?

Duratracs are arguably the GOAT All-Terrain tire.

 

I think most people:

 

1) Can't afford another set of duratracs

2) Want a bigger tire than what come on a TB

3) Put aftermarket rims on that don't have the same radius as their Duratracs

 

But no mistake, Duratracs are a really nice tire. The only other tire I would consider running is a Nitto Ridge Grappler as they are much lighter and just as quality and aggressive looking.

While the DT are awesome AT tires i think the GOAT status can be given to a few different AT tires. The Nittos, the BFG, even the Coopers are excellent AT ., Is there a real fair comparison test someone has done?

I like my stock Durtracs just fine but when they wear out they will not be replaced by Goodyears due to their BLM in the workplace stance.

I'm not here to play internet police guys and gals.... but if you all don't mind let's keep the topic to tires. 

 

Glad to see so much love for the Duratracs!

 

I'll be putting the new set and new truck to work for the statewide archery opener next weekend in the mountains. I expect them to perform as they always have!

Had my TB in the mud twice recently. My initial impression of the DT was they were loud. I came from a set of KO2's on my 14 Sierra. I'll put up with the extra road noise for the way they handled the mud. I crawl through some pretty nasty muddy ruts at our hunting lease. The DT's performed better than the KO2's without a doubt.

I had the Dura-Tracs on my previous ride a 2017 LTZ Crew Cab Midnight Edition.  I was impressed how quiet they were when I test drove the truck before buying it and had no issues with them for the past three years.

 

My new 2020 TB came with the optional 20" wheels and Goodyear Trailrunner AT's.  We'll see how well they perform in the winter months.

When the time comes to replace them...definitely go for the Dura-Tracs.

I was researching Duratrac's vs. KO's vs. Ridge Grappler's performance and the one thing that makes it mandatory to go with Duratrac's is snow performance!

 

Living in Canada here and cannot have a poor snow performance tire!

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There would be one way of determining the quality of the factory oil although probably more than a typical oil lab test, and that would be to draw out some oil from a new truck and send a sample to a lab that could do a more elaborate test of the oil. The issue with too little oil in the diff may not be the lack of lubrication of the diff bearings and gears themselves ( although a lack of oil volume for cooling ) but the wheel bearings because at some point the oil would be too low to properly get onto the spinning axle or fed along the axle tube. That was the claim by the local dealer from a couple of trucks in recent years that had the wheel bearings fail and they figured from lack of sufficient oil due to a severe underfilled diff and some of the bearing material made its way to the diff and it got damaged as well so the axle housings were just replaced on warranty. But your right that if the diff is over filled by whatever margin that it causes more churning of the oil than is desirable and that is no good either and can cause a pinion seal to leak. Also old oil I believe can tend to loose some of its properties like antifoaming and another good reason to change the diff oil every so often.

      I would be surprised if the diff's were not filled (with the cheapest gear lube) at the axle factory before being shipped to GM.  If you ever watched them building trucks they install the axles and all suspension parts with the frame upside down and then turn it over before its time to install the engine.     Too much gear lube in a axle can be worse than not enough especially with a lower quality GL where is get whipped up with entrained air (foam)  weakening its ability to lubricate.

      This is the 6.6 gasser section of the forum, you should either delete or modify your previous post as it is misleading for anyone looking for factual information on their 6.6 gas engine.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.
