Enough power from 6 l

[johndeereman346]

i have an 07 new body che 2500hd and am upgrading from my junk toyo mt tires to a 285 75 r16, was wondering if any one knew if it would make a difference on power and mileage. by the way 3.73 axle ratio

I am thinking you got a duramax ?? ... U going from a 265 tire ? Any change in tire size will make some amount of difference. If by chance you are running stock rims with a 265 tire.... Change rims to aleast an 8" wide for a 285 75R16.

no its a 6.0 l gas

no its a 6.0 l gas

I get it now.... Was wondering what (6l) was. thought it was an error. What about the rest of your question.... U got 265 tires now ?

 

[johndeereman346]

ya i went from 245 stocks to 265 toyos this spring and well 25000 km on em n they r toast so im lookn 4 new and can get 285s cheper than265

 

[johndeereman346]

by the way also have 4 inch gibson exhaust and afe stage 2 intake

No chip yet??? That would make biggest difference and help transmission shift better too......... We have sold lots of them, all different types

Just wondering what are you mostly driving off road or highway.I've sold 33 to 38 " tires in the toyo mt and all oil field runners and there getting 65000 to 80000 km on them.(thats what they claim)Pro Comp Extreme Mt has been a good tire as well.

circumference = pie X dia
3.14 X your new tire - your old tire = difference in final drive ratio

I have 295 toyo open country mt and have about 60,000 km and still holding well.

that 6 lire gas pot has lots of power i don;t think you would notice a huge difference.

I get trucks lifted and wheeled all the time and it's hardly noticeable.

plus it looks freaking cool!!!

and as above said programmers, even in a gas work awesome. i have one on my 5.3, with intake ans exhaust, and for me the biggest thing was that it shifts so much better, that the quick shifts alone make the truck quicker.

I have an 03 with the 6.0L, auto, 3:73 gears 4x4, and I am running 285's on it. The truck has no problem hauling my slide in camper (old heavy bastid) and a 4 place trailer behind it. You are not going to set any speed records, but it will pull good and you won't notice much of a difference.

Biggest thing to watch is, will the tire fit. I had to trim part of my front bumper to get it to fit, and that is with the torsion bars adjusted. I didn't have to trim much, and it would of cleared if I never turned and hit a bump at the same time.:d

Ok i with my toyos i have id say 30 percent gravel 70 highway. And thde boys at Canada Custom Vehicles are hooking me up with a level kit and dick cepek 285/75 r16 mud terrain was thinkn about wrangler mtrs but these look awesome.

Now as far as programmers i've been toying with a custom tune or superchips cortex any comments on either

We run Chevy's @ our parent company and have just recently installed 8 hypertech programmers and our 07-08 chev gas and diesel trucks. I have and 08 Silverado crew 5.3 L w/ the hypertech max energy and it does make a huge difference. I've been told by the guys at Ravin Truck accessories that the hypertech does well with chevy engines... both gas and diesel. I have run hypertech in my last 3 chev's and I like the power/performance and fuel mileage i get with the hypertech. they are easy to use and perform well.

I vote for hypertech...

it being a chev you better go down to 13" rims and tires if you want more power. lol lol

I have a 08 GMC with a Duramax and i put 285's on it and it was a B**ch to make them fit. I had the frontend lifted with what they call "pork chops" which is the same as cranking the torsion arms with a better ride, and i still had to beat a little bit of the inner fender in and they just barley clear. So good luck GM didnt make it very easy to add bigger tires.

Here's a pic of a customers truck I just did with a 2" front lift and 285/70/17 TOYO AT tires on 1/2 ton

 

[johndeereman346]

[xsyourride]
