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

Well I have some good news and bad news about my truck vibrations. Good news is that my truck has a significantly less vibration at speed. The bad news is my truck has significantly less vibration. Fo

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.

      I am sure that was quite the pass experience and not a great place to experience during the winter when the conditions are not good. I've seen video of that pass and also more detailed information and pictures about the wrecks at that one hair pin turn where tractor trailers have flown right off the cliff and I am sure from all the warning signs that you know the exact curve that was !. After all there is a reason why a song was made about Wolf Creek Pass !. By the way and I didn't realize this either when I bought my truck as its nothing I even thought of that would be programmed into the cruise control and this occurs in either the basic or the more advanced cruise that controls your distance behind a vehicle and that is the brakes going down a hill are being applied as soon as the vehicle goes a certain speed over the set cruise speed. While it certainly does force downshifts in the transmission as you found out with cruise on while going down hill, its also dragging the brakes as needed to keep the speed controlled to what the cruise was set to. For me, I find that unsettling simply because I have no concept then as to how MUCH brake input is being used a and just how hot are those brakes getting and the wear factor as well. I can see that system getting a person into trouble on long mountain grades while pulling a trailer as it would not only be standing on the brakes of the pickup without any driver input, it would also be automatically applying the trailer brakes and it could cause a run away unit by overheating the brakes. Its one thing on a shorter hill and if the driver allows it to do its thing but on a long mountain grade is where things could get so out of hand. As someone a while back on this forum said, they had someone following them at night I believe on a down grade and had the cruise set and the person behind them could see the brake lights being energized all the way down the hill. I figured when I saw your comment that you didn't know and would have no way of knowing that your truck was applying the brakes and that you would and rightfully so assume you only used the brakes when you pressed on the pedal to slow down more than the cruise set speed for the slower sharp curves. So its good knowledge to know this about the newer GM trucks, certainly when doing any descending on long mountain grades. In the future try kicking off the cruise and use the the manual mode on a pass to see what that is like as I know myself when I first experienced it I thought no way can this engine be holding me back this well and tried the same hill in manual mode and sure enough the engine was revving way up and still could not hold the trucks speed down like it could in cruise mode.    Fuel mileage, that is where a really low sleek type of car can do better at higher speeds, certainly it starts sucking fuel too but a tall pickup is pushing massive amounts of air and also allowing a lot more air under it and the tow mirrors as in elephant ears pushing through the wind  as well. Driving like grandpa is about as good as one can do when driving one of these if trying to get the best fuel economy they can. I bet these trucks would get the best mileage they can if driven on a freeway in Florida if not busy traffic at a sedate speed and that sea level elevation without hills, vastly different then Colorado !.
