Any one have loud howling at 50-60 mph. Noise is driving me insane. Could it be a wheel bearing or diff bearing? Or do these duratrac tires suck that bad. I'm having to crank the stereo to half volume.  2019 TB LT.

How many miles are on them?  I've heard that they get louder over time as they wear.  Mine are fairly tame at highway speeds but do drone to the point you know they are AT tires, but they only have about 1500 miles on them.  On my previous vehicle, GMC Canyon, the stock tires began to get loud after about 15K and got better after I rotated them, but generally became louder as they wore.

At 1400 miles on my 21 LT TB and they are loud around town but highway speeds they are pretty quiet. I’m used to it by now, but am waiting for them to get louder as they age. Love the truck so I’m okay with it.

I'm at 55k. It started around 20k.

What pressure are you running?  I've noticed even a couple lbs under 40, they start getting louder.  That said, they're MUCH louder than my BFG Mud Terrains.  I will not be putting a new set of them on when these wear out

Mine weren't bad until around 40,000 miles. They were unbearable in the 45-60 range. Everything else was ok though.

Mine hum a little bit in the lower speeds but seem to quiet down as speed increases.  At highway speeds I barely notice them, if at all, but while at 20-30 mph I can noticeably hear them.  I rotate them every 5k miles and it helps A LOT.  For an AT/MT hybrid tire they are not bad at all, but nowhere near as quiet as my factory Bridgestone Dueler AT RSW's were, those were quiet like a church mouse at 20K miles but then again the tread design was nowhere near as aggressive as the Duratracs.

 

Side Note:  The Duratrac has been a fantastic tire for me thus far.  I've been able to traverse things in 2WD with the Duratracs that I needed to traverse in 4WD with other tires.  They are a very grippy tire and the treads clear out nicely when going through gumbo clay.

My son has these on his AT4, noisy as hell. I can't stand to ride in his truck. Never saw the logic of a mud tire on trucks that never see off road use. Unless you're 16 and want the coolest truck on the high school parking lot

I put two sets of these on my K2. I thought they were great. There was a little noise as can be expected with any AT tire, but they performed excellent in rain and snow. The Goodyear tires my RST Z71 came with are actually much louder and pretty much worthless.

Mine started getting a little loud untill I rotates, and they quieted way down after. Now.i rotate every 5k with oil change, and they're staying quiet at almost 20k miles.

Thats the key.  I'm guilty of not staying on top of this in the past, but with aggressive tread patterns this is a must!

Interesting idea that.

 

Here's the problem. I see your point if we are talking about ice cream and someone says "I can't understand why everyone doesn't like vanilla", after you've said you like Rocky Road. You don't have to like my choice because you are not forced to experience my choice. And I don't have to like yours. We have no basis to even offer an opinion. 

 

BUT

 

When I can hear your trucks tires 300 yards behind me you are forcing your will and choice on me. Now sir you've just forced Rocky Road down the throat of a guy who doesn't like that taste and you're all upset I don't like that? Yea, that is one interesting idea you have there.

Even street tires with a block pattern on the edges will get noisy enough to become distracting if allowed to wear unevenly. Rotation, alignment and inflation. Three keys to quite tires. Even aggressive ones.

I never said what I liked and didn't like... You just told me what I did though. So how interesting was my idea again?

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      By revmanii · Posted

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
