First field units appeared around Aug 2025; bulletin issued Oct 29, 2025.

Tallest Tire on a Stock Silverado 1500 ZR2 (No Mods) — Fitment Guide
Truck: 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ZR2 Goal: Fit the tallest tire possible without any modifications (no trimming, no spacers, no level kit) and document real‑world results. TL;DR It fits: An LT285/75R18 (~35") mounted on OEM 18" ZR2 wheels fits without trimming for normal driving. Edge case rub: At full steering lock while reversing into a driveway , there is a faint rub only as the suspension compresses over the bump . Daily driving and forward lock tests were clea

Dialing In Tire Pressure After Upsizing to LT285/75R18 (ZR2 Case Study)
Swapped my 2024 Silverado 1500 ZR2 from 275/70R18 to the exact LT285/75R18 E tires used on the Silverado EV Trail Boss. Fitment is clean—only a faint rub at full lock in reverse as the suspension compresses; no trimming yet. The big question is PSI. Don’t copy the EV’s ~56 psi placard (that truck’s ~3,000 lb heavier), and don’t stay at stock ~38 either. With LT-E you set pressure by load: start 46–48 psi cold empty; 58–62 psi rear when towing; fine-tune via hot-rise/tread che

LZ0 3.0 Duramax: GM Flags Crankshaft End Play Behind Bellhousing Noise & P06DD (25-NA-307)
GM bulletin 25-NA-307 (LZ0 3.0 Duramax, 2025–2026) links bellhousing-area noise + MIL/P06DD to excessive crankshaft end play (possible thrust-bearing failure). Dealers should measure end play at the crank pulley bolt with a dial indicator; spec is 0.084–0.316 mm (0.0033–0.0124 in). Expect to pay diagnostic time for the check; if out of spec, repairs proceed per SI.

GM Issues New Valve-Body Repair for P0747 on 10-Speed (10L80/10L90)
GM has issued TSB #25-NA-255 for 2021–2024 trucks and SUVs with the 10-speed. Instead of replacing the valve body for P0747, the fix now calls for a new feed-limit valve, spring, and spacer plate—marking a major shift in how dealers handle this common transmission failure.
