I just picked up a 2003 Silverado LT, ext cab, 4x4, stepside, in Pewter. I have picked up a Leer 700 tonneau cover for it and now am looking for some wheels and rims to complete the package.

 

I was looking for some suggestions for rims for this truck. What do you think look the best? Anyone have any pics of their rig with rims on it? I will probably put 20's on it. I would like to go with a sportier look vs. offroad look. A little bit lower profile tires but not rediculous.

 

What are some recomendations for rubber? Drive 70% city, 15%highway, 15% boat puller.

If you are looking for a set of Silverado SS take offs let me know, I will be selling mine as soon as my new wheels come in.

As far as other wheels are concerned, Centerline makes a lot of 20's that are very reasonably priced.

If you're going with 20's, check out Centerline's Edge wheel. It's designed for trucks and SUV's. I mated mine with 285/50/20 Goodyear GT 2's. The tires are M+S rated and perform pretty good all around. The sidewalls are still tall enough to prevent dinging up the wheels. The wheels go for $420 each. I've been very impressed with the strength and quality of centerline's wheels

 

 

Go to this thread to see them on my SUV:

Motto MT600

Kruz K6

Boss 307 (These would look good on a blalck reg cab. Pewter ext cab?)

Diamo 12 Karat

TSW Splix

Kaotik Z6

Drive D6

Helo Skid

No biggie, there are a lot of choices out there that are nicer than the SS wheels. Boy, I'll never sell them if I keep saying things like that!!

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
