Good to hear from you. My impala didnt even have a cabin air filter from Sept to April. I was up in your neck of the woods (Detroit) a few weeks ago. |
|
| I HAVE A 2005 2500HD 4x4 LB 4DOOR. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IS THE BIGGEST ALL TERRAIN TIRE SIZE THAT CAN GO ON THE STOCK RIM WITHOUT RUBBING. I DONT WANT TO LIFT THE TRUCK, AND I TOW A TOY BOX. THANK YOU | |
| DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE AND HOW TO REPLACE A CABIN FILTER IN A 2005 2500HD 4DR DIESEL. THANKS IN ADVANCE. | |

I know of many people who have put 265 75 16 on the 2500HD / stock wheels - with no problems - I also recall one truck with 285 75 16 - but they claimed to have a slight rub when they had a load on the truck & made a sharp turn. But this truck did not have stock wheels.

if you are looking at height check out the 255/85/R16s. Not as wide but they are slightly taller than the 285s. I am currently running a set of BFG MTRs in this size on my Z71 very good tire

Its is easy to adjust the torsion bars. Just crawl under the truck and take a look. You will see two large steel rods about the size of broom handles (these are the torsion bars) - one on each side of the front end - on the end of the torsion bar you will see an adjustment bolt -if you tighten these bolts it raises the front end. But before you start turning the bolts mark them with paint (or use a small drill bit to put a small mark) - put a dot on the bolt head and also on the frame so that the dots line up. Then you know the starting point - and if you mess up you can always go back to the exact set up you had before any adjustments. You will need to turn the bolts 3-4 complete revolutions - so you must keep track of how many turns you make on each. Also a good idea to have the truck on level ground so you can measure from the ground to the frame on each side - but you will want to take a short drive between adjustments - gives things a chance to settle. You should jack up the front end of the truck before you start adjusting - it will be hard to turn the bolts if you don't do this. You would think that if you turn each side the same number of turns (say 3 times each) that it would raise the truck the same on each side - but that is not 100% true - you may need to adjust one side a little more / less that the other in order to be level. I have always been told to get a front end alinement done after making adjustments - a good idea for sure - but if you only go up a little bit (1 to 1 1/2_ inches it is not always needed. Good luck. |
