  1. Maybe some of the police around me swapped theirs. I swear I've seen them running small hole wheels. I do like the older larger hole ones, but not sure if they clear the T1 calipers. Those T1 PPV 20" steelies are going for over $2K a set WITHOUT tires!
  2. Now you mention it, the PPV vehicles used the small hole version of the steel wheel.
  3. Interesting that aluminum spare is on a truck. I have only seen those on Tahoes and Suburbans and clone SUVs.
  4. Steel spares are the same as the production ones, but painted black and a temporary tire. They are 7.5 if I remember correctly. I was researching them on ebay the other year. You can find aftermarket steel wheels in 17x8 or 17x9 that are cheaper than the OE steel wheels even used ones.
  5. When vehicles went to CANBUS communication, the older tools won't read CAN data. The ELM style adapter the original poster showed was known to have issues when it first came out ages ago. It was a knock off of a good working product with corners cut. I can't remember what my current Bluetooth OBDII brand is. I have the older ELM knockoff as well somewhere. I'm considering a TOPDON Bluetooth adapter as it is a bi-directional unit and is only about $60.
  6. There is a service bulletin for the HVAC that required a reprogram on my 2021 Silverado Trail Boss Custom. I had it in to look at something else and they found the bulletin and then kept it overnight so they could get a tech to do the update the next day. I think the paperwork is in my truck so I don't have the bulletin number handy.
  7. Try Meguiars A to Z wheel and tire cleaner. That's what I use. I used tire dressing on my 02 Camaro's Toyo tires and they would always turn brown a week or two later when the dressing wore off. If I cleaned them and didn't use dressing they stayed pretty black.
  8. I ran several trips between Grand Rapids and DeMoines Iowa and outside of Chicago and NEVER got above 18mpg. That was one trip back from Iowa with full gas not mixed with ethanol and a tail wind!
  9. You think GM did anything to fix a known issue? I have noticed a LOT more higher trim models having solid rear windows. When I was looking in 20-21 at trucks nearly EVERY LT and above trim had a slider on it.
  10. I guess you're not paying attention to the multiple threads on this:
  11. The tire shine is the CAUSE of this.
  12. Driving it. That's about what I get in mine.
  13. To get this back on topic, I found out that the ECM is easy to access by ripping back the drivers side felt fender liner. The thieves swap an ECM they have the fob for and then are able to unlock and drive off with the vehicle. I found this on ebay for much cheaper than they are listed on their site by bidding on it instead of doing a buy it now. I didn't like the idea of having to use bolt cutters to get off the one time lock they provide. I put a weather proof padlock on it instead so I can reach up in and unlock the padlock. I also changed out the cover screws from just phillips screws to a mix of allen and security allen screws and put nutserts in on a couple instead of the clip nuts. It was a bit of a pain to install since I had to tweak the brackets to get it to sit where it should. The biggest issue is you have to mount the ECM with double site tape and the transmission computer sits on top and you use double side tape to hold it on as well. I installed it about 8 months ago and no issues so far. This is their website: https://croclocecm.com/
  14. Link works. Good price. Too bad I'm broke and unemployed as I'd love to have them and am in Michigan too!
  15. There was a GM service bulletin someone had posted on here about auto stop eliminators causing issues with batteries or throwing codes. The resolution was to remove the auto stop eliminator and charge the customer since it was an aftermarket part and not covered under warranty.
  16. HD is a totally different suspension setup as they use torsion bars in front and not coil springs. You need ones from an HD AT4X or 2500 Silverado. I'm not aware of a GM accessories kit for the HD trucks yet.
  17. Got a picture of the "black packer" not on the coilover? I'm curious what it actually is.
  18. It depends on the tire option as to the top speed cutoff. 2024 the active exhaust is optional. Saw several on the local GMC lot with it as an additional $395 option on the sticker the other night.
  19. Not a bad price on labor. What was the total kit cost?
  20. Not sure where/what that hose is from just that picture, but that kink is a problem no matter WHAT line it is for. It's killing flow!
  21. You will need to wire the lights into a relay. The factory circuit will overload and shut off the lights when you add any additional lights. You can use the reverse light wire in the tail light as the trigger wire for the circuit. You can use the 12V+ from the trailer wiring circuit as the power source for the relay circuit.
  22. Another question on the used one is did it have the lifter failure(s)? Seen numerous people on here have the issue then immediately dump the truck once it's fixed.
  23. You're probably the guy I see with 10 sets of floormats stacked on each other and wonders why the vehicle has slow acceleration!
  24. You can't make the OEM switch work without reprogramming the BCM. The dealer won't do it without it being a GM accessory kit either. My dealer won't even do the program because I didn't buy the kit from them, even though it is a GM Accessory kit with the programming authorization code. There's a whole wiring harness that goes between the light switch and the fogs you need as well. I have mine using a diode jumper from the parking light circuit so that it triggers the relay for the fogs.
  25. There's only about 30 different models of Goodyear Wrangler tires out there. The most recent I've seen used are TrailRunner AT's.
