I am trying to find a good deal on the OEM hyper silver wheels, I think they are CK 136? The wheels that come on the Tahoes and some Silverados. The OE wheel website has some but they have chrome inserts and we all know there is enough chrome on these trucks already. Figured I would ask you guys in case you knew of a better site, GM has them listed at 430 a piece and that's not gonna happen, I have a buyer for my stock ones. Did anyone upgrade to these and notice a difference in ride quality and did you have to re calibrate your speedo? I have the 20s now, it's just chrome overload for me. Thanks in advance for the help. Below is a pic of the wheels I am looking for. If anyone has bought the replicas I would appreciate an image of them on their truck.post-139212-0-10338800-1425694431_thumb.jpg

I can't help, but my local dealer had a new pearl white denali yukon with those wheels and they looked awesome on it. Totally made the vehicle! Good choice

I've been wanting those so bad in gmc 22 but price isn't on my good side yet I might consider replicas in the near future

OK these are $1125 free shipping on eBay. That's $280 per wheel. They do have the chrome inserts but I'll bet they can be easily removed.

By looking at the pic Luster posted, The chrome inserts have to be attached by double sides tape. the inserts show 2 bolts for each insert which is what I thought held them on untiI saw the pic without the inserts. So only way they're attached is tape so it wouldn't be much harder to take them off that it would be to take off badges or molding.

 

Of course if you can find a set without them then that's less work and time, but if you can find them cheap then taking the insets off would be worth the money saved in my opinion. Would also take a lot less time if you have a heat gun.

 

They do look better without the chrome inserts, but it makes me wonder how they would look if the inserts were color matched. Just a thought.

no way those are stuck on there with tape, there are 2 different kind of wheels ck163 and ck164. One has the insert and one doesn't, the oem wheel has the black insert that is held on by the screws. 19301164 is the gm part number

Oewheels has several designs for these with different colored inserts.

 

I recall the salesman telling me about how flexible they were and mentioned "mix and match" about the inserts.

 

It LOOKS like they have little bolts holding them in. If that's the case you could remove them easily and have them colormatched.

 

I'd say give oewheels a call and see what they can do. I've got a set of their replica 20s waiting on tires to go on my truck now.

I'm diggin this combo with the chrome inserts but wouldn't buying the gmc cap or Chevy cap make it look completely OEM lookin with the exception of the chrome inserts.

Just ask before doing that. The 20" replicas have center caps that wont match the OE GM 20s caps.

 

The alternative would be to get a good bowtie or GMC decal and put on the cap. A lot of folks that sell these replicas will do that for you. OEwheels doesn't seem to. I would have already had mine done except I dont know if I can find a decal that will be tough enough to stand up to the road abuse a rim takes.

Yeah, I'm not diggin the bolt inserts, you know they would get all dirty and road grime down in them that you would never get out.

      287,500 Mile Service   8/13/2026   Reset Fuel Trims   Since the work done in the previous post there was a good improvement in response in all areas except right after a fill up where the LTFT would go -20%+ for about four miles while the STFT was near neutral. Before the work they both went very negative for a few miles after a fill up but act normal thereafter.    We did a systems check of the vapor recovery system for functionality and ability to hold a vacuum. That checked out fine. But this doesn't mean the charcoal canister is dead in the water. Testing that is next up. For now the reset of the fuel trims.    I intentionally shorted the fill exactly two gallons to eliminate any chance of filling the canister. On start up the trims were behaving normally until I got up and rolling where the LTFT went -10 / -11%% but the short was + 2 to 0%. Within a mile the the STFT offset the LTFT and by 2 miles they were neutral. HUGE improvement but still not hunky-dory.    I'll watch them for a few days. Perhaps another tank where I will fill completely to 'first click' and compare. Meanwhile on the hunt for a new canister and I'll toss another purge value at it for good measure. Pending the outcome of the canister test that is. Progress of any kind is welcome.    Fuel economy improvement with bringing hole #3 back to the living was a noticeable bump to the positive. Even on the few miles I drove after the refill I already see another bump up by the trims reset.     She's purring like a kitten with a warm bowl of milk.    BTW, adding 50 rpm to the idle took the majority of the negative timing out on cold start up and leaned the cold idle. No longer burbles in the cat. What a dumb way to heat a cat.

      Yeah, shame I can’t really get that filter easily anymore. Running a PureOne. Your fave!    TAN would be neat to see. Confirmation I ran it too long probably. 🤣

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By superdave160 · Posted

      My son and I both bought new trucks in 2017. Both of us immediately put Truck Covers USA American Roll Covers on our trucks. My son still has his truck and it never sees the inside of a garage. We live in Alabama, so not much snow. My truck was my daily driver and was in the garage when I wasn't driving it or at work. No issues with either cover even after almost 9 years. About a year ago I sold my truck to my brother and bought a 2025 Silverado 2500. The second thing that I put on that truck was a new Truck Covers USA cover. They are very well made and have a very positive locking system. I looked at a Retrax and my concern was the way that the cover locked to the rail. BTW, the first thing I put on the new truck was step bars. Those new trucks are high!

      The Allison 10 speed torque converter doesn't "lock up" like the previous transmissions. It has 4 operational modes; open, slip, transition from open to slip; transition from slip to open. I have an Edge CTS3 monitor and I monitor transmission torque converter slip. Step on the gas and you get a little slip. Take your foot off the gas and you get a little negative slip. I have not found a way to display the torque converter mode beyond that. My Edge CTS3 also displays something that our trucks should already display, the current gear. I also monitor throttle body position and engine load. If I see the engine load getting too high, I'll manually drop a gear.

      Nice result. Your filter is working well  I'd have like to have seen the acid number for this sample. Curious type that I am.
