High Country wheels are gone, picked up these Chevy 22's yesterday. I think I'm going to ditch the toolbox and go with a tonneau cover, just gotta decide which one....

When a manufacturer offers factory installed 22" wheels with the Z71 off-road suspension, this means that he is certifying that combination for off-road use (occassional or frequent). This makes no sense to me. That was probably the biggest reason why I commented on it. I agree that 22" rims with 40 to 50 aspect ratio tires are fine for road use.

 

 

The Z71 package doesn't "certify" the truck for anything. About the only time that comes into play is for things like the plow prep pkg or the police/pursuit pkg.

 

My non-Z71 2003 managed to go off road despite not being "certified" to do so:

Wish I had more than a thumbnail for this one. With the fall colors it was a nice pic:

I'm not sure 22" wheels even existed for trucks when this was done- 2006 I think?

Gm wouldnt put 22s on stock if they rode bad. Theres the answer

 

Escalade = Stock 22's (07-13 carrying to 15)

 

Escalade = incredible ride

 

Escalade = owned 3…have yet to bend a 22" stock wheel; and I'm not too careful on stocks.

 

 

F-150 Harley = 22's

 

20's are new industry standard on pickups therefore making 22's a very practical upgrade…it's 2014 guys, technology and times have changed.

22s are for pavement, 18s and 20s are for off-road. It's that simple. It's all about the tires you can buy for them. Choose whatever option works for you. They can both be good depending on your situation.

I had 18's on my last truck, 17's on the one prior.. I always thought they looked goofy as hell and wanted 20's, but knew the ride would be rougher... Im glad I have 20's now though. Looks way nicer, and still capable offroad. I think 22's look badass, as long as you stick to the street, which I'm sure most people with em do. It's silly arguing about it.. No one with 22's said they were going mudding with em. Hell, I wish I had a job where my truck never left the pavement.

Wow. Those sure are pricey

i agree Hydro, keep your eyes peeled on EBay and Craigslist, generally can find a much better deal. I luckily found a guy on Craigslist here in Houston that had them new in boxes.

They also wouldn't put crappy tires that vibrate on new trucks either. :rolleyes:

      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.
