I guess I was under the impression they were a GM product and not a replica. I know they are essentially the GMC wheel in black so maybe he swapped the center cap's?

I just ordered a set of these wheels in gloss black powder coat from LA Wheel and Tire. They're a factory oem wheel, not aftermarket. Total cost to buy the wheels and get them refinished to gloss black was $1650. I wanted the piece of mind knowing I had am oem wheel and not a China made aftermarket one.

To my surprise, most of the K2xx oem wheels are made in China. My stock 20" Denali and the 20" AT wheels were.

That wouldn't surprise me a bit. I would still think an OEM manufacturer must be held to a high standard. Regardless of country of origin.

^Another blow to the "American truck". You wonder why people are buying the Texas made Tundra. The more issues the K2's have and the more you find out they're by the Chi-coms.... FML.

45% of the K2xx pickup truck contents are made in North America! The Tundra and the F-150 contain 70%

 

Interestingly, 60% of the K2xx SUVs contents are made in North America.

^No it's not. I love the new K2 trucks. When I bought in Aug of '14, it was honestly the best truck I could buy. Ford had not rolled out the new aluminum '15's yet. Rams are well.... Rams. Tundra's are porky piggy and get 13mpg's. Old platform of a truck. I was up against the wall and needed a truck within a week due to a job change. So it was a no brainer. GM Family discount, safest truck i could buy at the time and I liked it, and it was the newest updated truck. Done deal. but in almost 2yrs, things have changed as they always do. One would be an idiot to not honestly put the F150 on the table. I like their 5.0 and the 3.5 Turbo engine. Only engines I'd put on the table. The new F150 has had rave reviews regarding the ride quality. My two complaints about F150's since '04 has been the high bed rail height and some of the cheaper interiors.

I went from F150 to my 2014 GMC Sierra Z71 and had a similar positive experience upon the switch. But I don't agree that the new F150 is better looking, better riding or has a better interior. I have two friends that just bought one each and the only thing I was remotely envious of was the gas mileage....one has the 5.0 v8 with something like 380hp (don't quote me) and the other has the turbo v6. Both getting ~22mpg while I struggle to stay above 17mpg. The v8 was towing the same trailer I routinely tow and even with more hp than my GMC, it seemed to be hunting for gears and downshifting. I think my DC is rated higher in towing but regardless, my GMC handled the tow a lot better than the F150.

 

IMO the best thing F150s had going for them in the 04 new body style was the tall bed side that set them apart in looks. Now, they have lowered the bed side height and it looks like a bobble-head doll. Too much cab...not enough bed. It's obvious when you ride in one how long and tall the windshield is....just not proportional like the GMs....some might say Fugly. The ride is ehhhhhh....my leveled Z71 is on par if not better. If I wasn't leveled, my GMC would blow them away with the sweet ride it had when it came from the factory. F150 interior is cluttered, clunky and just cheap looking. Way too busy in the dash. I think the Ford would win over the amount of electronic options and dials and gauges and gadgets it can cram in that dash, but It made it feel more like a car than a truck you would want to do work in.

 

If I've said it once, I've said it a dozen times to my wife: "Man, I'm sure glad I went for the Sierra instead of waiting for the new F150." Plus, both my friends with F150s paid $10K+ over what I paid....gonna take them a long time to recoup that in gas mileage while they drive a truck that looks like a Tonka toy with a bobble head.

^I agree with a lot of what you said bcbz71. I'm not fond of the new F150's looks or interior but am glad they lowered the bed rail height. their front end and nose looks real small too. I need to get the slight 77mph+ rear vibration out of my K2 truck and I'll be happy as a clam. mine is not even close to being as bad as some on this forum or you tube. At the end of the day, I bought my K2 with a business mind set. Good long power train warranty, simple reliable and cheap to maintain engine and at the time it was the only 5 star rated safety truck. Plus I rather have an auto locker vs a E-locker. and the K2 was the quietest interior. Yes the E-locker is more hard core, but I've rock crawled and wheeled a lot. I ran Detroit front and rear. Never cared for the the ARB lockers. Not even on my TRD Off-road Tacoma. Hated having to lock it. I like how the auto lockers work. Detroit Lockers FTW.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Another JR · Posted

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
