What is the difference between the "traditional cone mount" and "hub mount"? Same thing,market they? There is really only two centering designs for automotive wheels - hub centric and lug (wheel bolt) centric. The centering come on a balance machine would centre the wheel to the centre bore in the wheel, which would be the bore that the hub would also fit snug to to centre the wheel. Alternately, lug centric uses the tapered lug nuts to centre the wheel, with the wheel centre bore being larger that the axle hub.

 

Or you could be like GM, and have the wheel bore snug to the hub (hub centric) and use tapered lug nuts (lug centric) and see who wins the centering fight!!

 

Now, there are different centering cones for the Hunter balance machine. Likely they didn't have the correct one for aluminum wheels on your truck. As I recall, it's some kind of "reverse" cone arrangement. Sounds funky, and like anything else funky, can be a source of human error. Just saying......

I know the rims are hub centric, has anyone tried non-tapered lug nuts ...

Well folks, I did it. After all the failed attempts at the Chevy dealer I traded it in for a 2015 Ram 1500 Larame. I have to agree with the other folks on here that have done the same thing, it was th

Apparently you and the other customer reps don't care. If you or GM would care y'all would put more effort in the matter. Just coming on the forum and stating the same repetitive posts and being a 3

Since I'm challenged when it comes to pics. It's the ruby red metallic, garnet i would call it. Crew cab short box 4X4 5.0 with 3.31 gear, could have maybe gone with the 3.55 but i had just found out after waiting 6 months the truck ordered for me was junk. If I was Ford I'd put a supercharger on the 5.0 and match up to the 6.2. My pissed off level was off the charts after test driving the truck I waited 6 months for. Ford sticker was 59, Sierra sticker was 54, traded for 9. Screwed or not at this point i don't care, hated the vibrating no head light sierra and when the new one finally showed up it vibrated worse then the 2 previous ones. I knew I was done with gmc. For comparison sake, engine goes to gm, the 6.2 is king, seats go to Ford, better lumbar for me at least. Rear seat area, no comparison, Ford. Console area and overall buttons, etc. I give to gm, I've had them so long just know where everything is. Camera system, Ford. Overall feel, Ford, just feels solid, close the doors, just has the thud. Maybe the alum is thicker I don't know, just feels more substantial. Driving quality, Ford, it doesn't vibrate. I'm sure some will flame and tarnish, go ahead, unless you have lived with this for a year, you don't know, and GM doesn't know, how totally pissed off people get. Probably lost a lifetime friend over these 3 trucks but I won't go back and I am steering my 3 boys away from GM, but in the end, GM doesn't care, they never did.

No, I'm scared to death of it. but at the same point, there is no guarantee in Lemon Law, even though I have enough information that should basically guarantee it, and if I try to get rid of my truck on my own, I'm out a sh*t ton..... so IDK what to do

If I take the offer, I will be trying to switch to sierra because I don't like the new look of the Shakerados.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
