Does anyone else have rapid wear of their Bridgestone tires? My wife's 2006 Silverado 1500 had 13000 miles last month and I noticed that I was probably not going to get another 5000 miles on them. My son-in-law is a service advisor at a Ford dealership and I asked him if he had noticed the same problem on his father's GMC. I called the dealership where I bought it , took it down and they put new tires on it. She had Bridgestone Dueler A/T with a TPC code 2328. The new tires are the same but have a TPC code of 2345. The tread pattern is completely different.

I have the Dueler Revo on mine and they are holding up well, except for the right rear it seems to smoke alot and has faster tread wear than the rest. :rolleyes: They were on it when I bought it and I have about 30k on them and they are still good.

if its on the front end, get it alligned. Some vehicles came from the factory set wrong. LIKE MINE. I noticed it before they started cupping too bad.

I did not have an issue with my wife's tires cupping, they just plumb wore out early. They were swapped out at 13,600 miles. They could have gone a little while longer but I do not like to let them go to far. The dealer told me that Bridgestone had a problem with this particular tread but they did not issue a recall. Unless you complain they will do nothing. The new tires are the same A/T but have a completely different looking tread, which actually look better.

If you want an awesome all around highway tire I suggest Michelin LTX M/S. Very smooth ride, and you can air them up to 50psi for towing and hauling.

Hey you guy's with the Revo's. I drove a truck with them on it the other day and those suckers were loud. Is that normal? I don't mean mud tire loud but you could hear them at all times.

My Bridgestone Duelers began showing wear at 12,500 miles. My local service manager was nice enough to point out the wear on the outer portion of the tires. He gave me the option of getting a new set of Bridgestones that were said to be free of any defects for free or using the warranty to upgrade to Michelin LTX M/S for only $200!.

 

I of course went for the Michelins, I think they retail for close to $900 and I have been impressed so far with the ride quality. Michelin has always manufactured a great tire.

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well

      By C/K Man · Posted

      There was talk over the last couple of years that the contract to build these trucks between GM and International would not be renewed.  International moved production of all their other trucks besides the companion CV model out of the Springfield plant some time ago when they opened their San Antonio plant.  That left Springfield only building the Silverado Medium Duty, International CV Series, and some Express/Savanna long wheelbase cutaways.  International also put the plant up for sale some time ago.  This all answered my earlier question as to why GM and International did nothing with these trucks since they were introduced, as they had basically become a market 'placeholder' with a finite life.    The Silverado Medium Duty/International CV trucks were interesting combination of a GM powertrain, electrical system, and K2XX Silverado cab with an International chassis that was supposedly designed for a step-van type vehicle they never produced.  They were manufactured in International's Springfield plant along with the IH MV series initially.  When first introduced, there was much talk that the Silverado Medium Duty/CV would eventually get a gasoline engine option along with other upgrades and GM and IH would work on a class 6/7 joint venture truck.  This was before VW bought Navistar out, after that happened no more was said.  Draw your own conclusions...   About the time talk started that the GM/IH joint venture was not going to be renewed, rumors started that GM would develop a new line of medium duty trucks themselves.  The story is the new trucks will be part of the next generation HD's due in 2028, and will still feature a 'straight rail' chassis design that the current medium duty has.  GM views this as a desirable feature that differentiates their truck from the competition.  A gasoline engine option is also expected.  As the current Silverado Medium Duty remains in production until September 2026 and there is still a lot of inventory available do not expect any official word for some time.   I believe GM remains committed to their successful partnership with Isuzu, and all the LCF models will still be available from Chevy Commercial dealers.  Isuzu is on the cusp of opening a new large plant in South Carolina and there is also speculation that this may result in new product for both Isuzu and Chevy Commercial dealers.

      Software Update

      By nfisherman · Posted

      I have a 2026 2500 HD Ultimate. My phone app says there’s a software update available. It’s something about improved battery management and something to do with the running boards. I follow the instructions for the update but the “Check for Updates” option is greyed out in my settings menu. Has anyone else seen this? How did you resolve it? The help message just says “see your dealer” if the download doesn’t work. I’m just trying to save a trip.

      Exhaust Question

      By newdude · Posted

      Fuel mileage?  That's all how you use your right foot.  Exhaust will give you sound.   Stock exhaust 5.3 is 2.75" diameter piping.     If the truck is nice and worth putting some $$ into it, I'd go for a Corsa catback.  I had one on my 2019 old body 5.3 and it was just perfect.  Zero drone, just driving around and cruising on the highway you'd think it was stock, but when you opened it up it was like a Camaro with the factory dual mode.  Corsa bumps their catback to 3in diameter.
