Like I've said before, a chevrolet 6-lug is a chevrolet 6-lug, period. So any with 6 lugs on a chevy or GMC will work fine. 1990 or 2010, no difference.

16 inch 6 bolt will not fit around the disc brakes on my 08

that is mostly true... except if you have an odd 2WD 6-lug 16-inch from the 1990's .....

 

To compensate for the shorter (narrower) axles these trucks have a slightly narrower rim and with very little, if any offset. These rims may fit on other 6-lug trucks, but a 4wd 6-lug will not work on my 2wd 6-lug as the inside edge of the rim rides too close to the frame, barely ok on the back, but will not permit steering on the front. As far as I know these odd 6-lug rims are only plain painted steel... at least I have not been able to find any other OE rims with the same fit. Mine is a 2500 (light duty), but these odd rims would also be on a F44 option 1500 2wd (these have 6-lug 16-inch wheels).

 

Also... if the '06 the first poster asked about has 17 inch or larger rims, then it is not likely that 16 inch rims would fit over the brakes....

Both of you have good points. I believe you have to have at least a 16 or 17 inch on the 2006 and a 17 or greater on the 07 plus. And I'm sure he's not going to put rims from the 90's on his 06 anyway, but yeah, back then they basicly screwed up the 6-lug on a weird truck. But, most 2wd back then were 5 lug.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Ok that confirms the extra quart theme they are still going with which must mean they have noted some initial use more so then some engines and probably the bigger factor in all of this probably isn't the engine so much as its the insane distance or OLM that lulls a lot of the driving public into driving their new vehicle off the lot and not even doing one short interval oil change because the manufacturer doesn't say different and if the dealer follows that logic as well. Selling the rarely needing to be serviced concept seems to go over well with the public that wants to get away with as little as possible for dollars spent on the vehicles maintenance and I bet there are 3.0 engines just like other vehicles out there that never have their oil checked by the owner which goes back to why they probably felt the need to add that extra quart to avoid a costly theme.    Speaking of cutting filters open, it was probably over two years ago now that a youtuber who buys vehicles to do longer term reviews and pulls a fifth wheel through the mountains of Colorado on summer trips and that becomes part of the testing. Anyway he had a GM HD with the 6.6 gas and a Ford 250 with the 7.3 gas at the same time and of no surprise the Ford had more power etc but somewhere along the way in the few thousand miles he put on the truck, he changed the oil and was seeing glitter and cut open the filter and yeah, things were not looking spectacular. The truck about that time or soon after seemed down on power compared to what it had been and then threw some engine code, I expect the cam/lifters were failing and so he brought the truck back to the dealer and made some deal to get out of it as he knew it would sit for months waiting on a new engine as they were so backlogged at the time. He kept the GM for some time after that using it exclusively until he sold it after buying his next vehicle to do a review on. Definitely the filter can tell a story when things are starting to go sideways, but it would be a sickening feeling to cut it open and be faced with an ugly mess like that and be running a magnet through the pleats and the oil on the dirty side of the filter and see all the fines sticking to the magnet.    The dealer may have some ideas based on experience as to where that coolant smell is coming from, I would imagine if they can't find it but its smelling they would put dye in it to they could give it a run cycle and use the black light to see where it pops up, if its a hose connection, water pump, rad or even a head gasket etc.

      Oil Consumption

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It’s at the point of amusement. I’m retired I have time. It’s fun seeing people try to convince me I’m using oil. I’m buying oil at the prescribed time. It gets drained and new goes in. Do I add in between, no. My oil doesn’t even get dirty in 5k miles. I don’t even see any drop on the stick. I check in the same place. All is well.
