Here’s mine without the new wheels and still debating 4cfec5bcd9f13e8b50bf11bf731c0120.jpg

That's what mine looked like when I drove her off the lot 3 weeks ago. I had the dealership put a 4.5 rough country lift/level kit with 295/60/20 Toyo open country A/T tires, Fuel Sledge rims. Borla cat back exhaust and cold air intake. Pedal Commander to increase accelerator response, then I installed the tow mirrors. Yes, I had to bring it back three times because of inside rub. I also put a billet locking fuel door on it.

I had a 2” front and 1” rear level installed thinking that 275/60/20 Michelin Defenders would be no problem but now I’m getting rub on both my UCA’s. This is the only reason got the level. Discount tire told me it would fit fine and not rub if it didn’t have the level. Now, I’ve to look into new wheels and I’m just sick of looking. Chrome peels and solid black looks cheap like a high schoolers Walmart Wheel.

I’m leaning towards the fuel assault gloss black with machined trim.

Yeah, I like those. But what about your earlier comment, "Chrome peels and solid black looks cheap like a high schoolers Walmart Wheel." I took some slight offence thinking you meant black in general but now I believe you  meant black like someone lost a hubcap hitting the turn fresh off a Circle K beer run! HA!

What 20x9 wheel would you put on this truck? 221d363f8f073a7006a0247fa5e52818.jpg

You know what I think, it would be cool to get some old school centerlines, the deep dish ones made for wider tires.

I just put on these KO2’s, 275/60/20x9

    • Sounds like converting will be a bigger endeavor than I was thinking. This truck doesn't have 2Hi like the Suburban did. The Tahoe has 4Hi and 4Lo and a button to turn of traction control.   From what I understand the Stabilitrak uses open diff in the front and rear. When wheel speed is not the same the stabilitrak uses the ABS system to slowdown the spinning wheel(s) to transfer power to the slower non-spinning wheel(s). I thought the transfer case was open too. Being able to transfer power either more to front or rear depending on wheel spin. Maybe I miss understood some information with you saying and power transfer is 50-50. Thanks
    • My brother has a 2007 Avalanche with afm 5.3. It`s got 176,000 miles. Runs like a clock. Never been apart. Co worker has a 2010 Tahoe with afm 5.3. 230,000 miles. Never been apart. Runs like a clock. So, even though cyl deac is a weak spot, they can go the distance.   BUT, these engines had the oil changed regularly, AND had 5w30 as spec. I wonder if they would have lasted this far on 0w20? I`ll bet not.
    • I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing. 
    • get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.
    • This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.
