Went last night and met up with a guy halfway between Minot ND and Bismarck ND to buy a set of factory 20s. Great shape and I got a great deal I think. They only have 8k miles and I picked them up for $850. Then I took the truck and wheels in this am to get the wheel balanced on the inside and had them put on. Man oh man it really changes the look and I feel it improve my ride quality. 20140423_122105_zpsopyyqlah.jpg

looks good. Rant incoming:

Bismark has some of the worst designed shopping/parking areas I have ever seen. I was in two different ones when I was there and both stretched for blocks but only had entrances or exits at the bookend intersections. You literaly had to drive through blocks of parking lot to leave or get to a resturant, while being a on the other side of a 4 inch curb from the main road the entire time. I guess many people there do badly with turning into traffic?

Yes the parking down there is the worst. And I'm telling you I don't think any North Dakota people can drive normal. No offense to any of you out there.

He lives in OK, he's used to it. I can say many people in Tulsa and OKC are some of the least attentive drivers, driving some of the biggest heaps on the road.

not necessarily. I'm not losing but an inch or so. Won't look too much different but let's hope it will ride a lot nicer

I've thought about putting my stock block back in and cranking down to but I like the way it sits to much. I'd prefer it to have to lean if I changed anything

Iv been in over 36 states and the worst drivers I've seen outside OK are Arkansas and New Mexico.

      Joke Thread

      Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.

      This can be done.  It is not cheap and requires an instrument cluster swap with custom programming, new steering wheel with the controls on it, and a special jumper harness.   The cluster upgrade - 12.3” Digital Cluster Upgrade – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The wheel upgrade - Steering Wheel Upgrade Kit – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The column harness upgrade - 2019 - 2026 Silverado / Sierra: Steering Wheel LIN Bus Harness - Harness Dr. - DIY Done Right     The problem with doing all of this?  You pretty much can't have any programming done to your truck that involves the cluster ever again.  The dealer won't be able to program the cluster as GM's system will only pull data for the cluster the truck came with.  So it would be advised also to turn off over the air updates.   TLDR;  Should have bought an LT double cab?  You'd have a power seat, the wheel controls, the cluster, all things that you've been seeking in your various posts so far about your new WT regular cab.
