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!

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

    • Maybe.   Maybe.   I don't want to be the one that needs help and can't get it when I need it. That is a legitimate complaint, and how they respond to those legitimate complaints is a big red flag to me.   I don't care how good the product is their conduct is subpar. Some people are fine supporting that for the sake of getting the product they want. I'm not.   To be fair, I haven't seen or touched their product in person to determine for myself the quality of it. I'm not offering any opinion on that either.
    • So if you do nothing and they act on their threats like death to America or Israel. And possibly a nuclear war. Whoever survives wonders why didn’t they listen? Or we do something like every President has said they can’t get a nuclear weapon. We’re at the 10 yard line and it happens the time is now or never. I think I’m ok with paying a little more for gas for awhile. It’s a shame that we now live in a world that’s so polarized. 
    • 4-5-6 fails due to design.  Not enough clutches and not enough piston to clutch surface area.  Also the backing plate can bow.     I'd say converter is two part.  The design of converter chosen, and factory tuning of it aka slipping it in D (also L6) for AFM purposes, as well as locking it up in 2nd gear, sometimes 1st, also it will partially lock up at light loads.  All because CAFE/fuel economy requirements.  A billet converter on the stock tune might hold up better, but would still be subject to the stock tuning and how its designed to lock or partially lock.     The most baffling part to me, is the 2007-2013 6L80s didn't have the failure rate the 2014-2018 ones do.  I've been where I work for almost 17 years now, and I recall maybe 3 or 4 of the 07-13 transmissions getting pulled for something.  14-18 on the other hand, it was at a minimum one a month being opened up.    If I had to guess, I'd say the tuning for the gen 5 engines/6L80 setup and its fuel economy goals had a good bit to do with it.  Also, it was bankruptcy time during these years, so I'm thinking some cost cutting was done for the launch of the K2XX trucks.  See also now the 10 speed valve body issues (more cost cutting).  They blow out some mesh screen in the spacer plate, undersized check ball, and the feed limit valve was aluminum and wears out prematurely.         I don't think it was the HP jump from the gen 4 to gen 5?  The 6.2 in the 07-13 trucks was good for 380-400hp during its life/states of tune, and the 5.3 did 310-320hp.   
    • All this might be worth it had we actually recovered enriched uranium, a WMD, or an actual nuclear deal with oversight. This is a flub of epic proportion, and they all know it.   $5.10 at a station reporting $4.99 last week. Here we go....
