If you notice I made sure you saw to get red. Blue is to stop fasteners from walking out, but you're still able to break the blue thread locker if you need too which it most. With red they would probably need an impact driver to get the bolts out.

 

It's just sad that they'd steal those little cheap bolts. Honestly if you're going to take the time to do it then steal the actual rims lol. But, it makes me think of a piece that I think someone could have stolen off my truck. If you look at the windshield wiper arms, the little cover that covers the mounting but to mount the arm to the shaft was missing on one of them. I don't remember it flying off because it's a big enough piece where I would have seen it. So either someone stole it or it was missing from the truck for God knows how long. Luckily it was just a $5 cover and snapped right on.

Haha I was just kidding! I've got all 80 bolts sitting in some dawn dish soap right now. Then tomorrow I'll paint them.

 

On another note I dropped the truck off at the Line-X dealer. She'll be getting sprayed with black Line-X Premium this week. May look rough in the pictures but the lines are spot on for the most part. After Line-X you'll be hard pressed to tell anything was ever wrong.

Apologies if it's been discussed but I hate trying to find exactly where it was talked about but what's the situation here? Truck looks really good but were you in an accident or something?

Out with the old and in with the new about 6 months ago.

How are you liking the Duramax compared to the 1500? Power? Ride?

 

Did you have the 5.3L or 6.2L before?

 

I love my truck but the next one will be a Duramax!

Will it have a salvage title from that damage?

Fantastic! Only thing I've done to them is tighten them down after a few hundred miles. But this is called for in the instructions anyways so no news there. The coating has not faded nor has it chipped or peeled. The step it's self is just as sturdy and rigid as day one. I am extremely pleased with them. I also have the first generation of the steps so I don't have the stupid badges on the side. Another reason why I like them even more.

Installed some new shoes! Fuel Maverick 20 x 9 +1 offset with Nitro Ridge Grappler 33 x 12.50. 2" level up front. The only thing I had to do was zip tie the carpet back an inch or so. No rub or trim. Really like the stance and look. The tires ride slightly rougher on smooth pavement than the stock Goodyears, but noticeably smoother on rough pavement. I guess the larger diameter and sidewall help with rough pavement and the 10 ply contributes to the slightly rougher ride on smooth pavement. Very slight hum, but not bad at all. A little more floaty feeling in corners at 40 mph or more, but again not bad. So far I'm extremely happy with the purchase. Thanks to Custom Offsets for a great purchase experience and a member on here (Robinson) for giving me their first hand knowledge with this combo.

    • Oil pump noise was discussed before.  I will try to remember to record a remote start later this morning. 
    • There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
