Hey Guys and Gals I just put a set of Structure Rims and Toyo 305/45/22 tires on my 03 Suburban and I am getting a rubbing on the plastic that is on the backside of the bumper. Has anyone else experienced this?

 

Do I have to cut the plastic out?

 

Thanks!!!

The offset is 10mm. There is only one spot where it rubs. It is on the driver side just behind the bumper. The inner well sticks out farther oh that side and I am not sure what is behind it. (Have not pulled it off) All the other wheels are fine and this one only rubs a little one turns but it is noticeable.

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also is it true you can adjust the computer for big wheels to obtain better gas milage? Any other benefits if this is true?

 

Thanks!!

I don't think you're going to obtain better gas mileage but you should be able to correct your speedometer/odometer readings.

First thanks Bossier62guy I will swing by the dealer and see what is involved for them to do that.

 

Scott I just put the 22's on yesterday I had 20's on there prior. As far as braking yes it slows braking down a little but not much, it does not come off the line as quick as it did (Honestly though it is a suburban with a 5.3, how quick would it really be?) Gas I have not had them on long enough to tell, but my 20's did not impact that too much. The ride is great. Actually my 20's had Eagle GTII on them and the ride was not great. These Toyo's are fantastic, not near as bumpy no shake or wobble. These wide tires regardless of brand do track the road so you do get some drift once in a while. Otherwise they just plain look great.

 

I still need to figure out why that inner fender plastic right near the bumper comes out so far and my rubbing issue will do away.

:driving: I installed 24"X 10 with 305/35/24 I had the same problem took it to the dealershis's custom shop and they told me that they use a propane torch and heat up the metal behind the plastic and hit it with a mallet that way there is no cutting involved I did mine yesterday.

      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.
