Picked up a set of new wheels. Will keep the duratracs on the steel wheels for winter. Block on trailer is about 11k pounds. I really like the 6.0 compared to my 98 7.4.

You have another set of wheels/tires?
What year were they off of?
Not many know GM changed the 3/4 and 1 ton bolt pattern in 2011.

What did it get changed to?

 

[redline4]

What did it get changed to?

I dont recall off hand but it's slightly larger.
They also had to change the inside of the wheel because they went to larger brakes too.

Gm was 8x165 up till 10 in 11 they went to 8x180

damn slacker gm mechanics don’t know sh!t

Yeah, they're some dumb MF'ers for sure!

2.4 connecting rod bolts torque to 18ft lbs + 100 degrees, head bolts 24ft lbs +155 degrees in case you were wondering.

I’ll write that down for when you forget. I have no idea why they switched but it was dumb. Ram has been 8x165 for a long time and still are to my knowledge.

Couldn't be like Ford with 8 on 170mm?

 

[Tbrown]

Newer is 8 x 180. Older was 8 x 6.5
Trucks a 2015, new wheels are 2019

They were able to increase the weight capacity of the hubs by switching to a larger bolt pattern. Not sure why (more meat around the studs?), but that's the reasoning I was told.

They probably went with a bigger diameter wheel stud. So it threw everything else off.

Maybe so they could make the *s-wordty unit bearings ever so slightly larger than before?

GM. - 8 x 180
Ford - 8 x 170
Ram - 8 x 165.1

Does that mean that GM trucks are able to hold more weight than a Superduty or a Ram HD?

 

[cgraham1]

I guess the 2005-up F-350 DRW is 8 x 200.

It's all a conspiracy with the wheel manufacturers to keep us from sharing!

Where there's a janky redneck will, there's a janky redneck way:

F-450's are 10 x 225

Yeah but in Ca anything over a one ton is a commercial vehicle and very expensive to register. Also emissions are an issue, as the state is forcing older trucks to be repowered and fitted with smog equipment from 2011-newer, scrapped, or sold out of state.



I can’t wait to move out of Ca.

Better hurry before you need a boat.

That's crap. But man, that'll be a lot of rust free trucks coming on the market for cheap!

They did the same thing with tractors and other off road equipment. Lots of money wasted when they trade them in and they bust holes in the blocks of tractors so they can’t be used again
