What black lug nuts did you wind up going with and would you recommend them? i am thinking about ordering the black pro comp ones but have read differing reviews about the socket with the splines chipping paint off of them. Thanks in advance!

I went with the black pro comps. They did show signs of being worn/chipped after tightening them, but not a big deal to me. Black is easy to touch up if needed.

Rawyzf,

 

I have the new wheels and tires on 20x9 0 offset with 305-55-20's on. I know you had the wheel spacers on your stock wheels putting you at effectively the same overall offset I am at now. I remember you saying you rubbed in reverse with your setup. Did you ever figure out a solution? Mine rubs near full lock in reverse. But instead of rubbing the very inner of the fender liner like most, due to my offset it rubs the very middle of the liner. Just seeing if you every came up with a solution before you put on your new setup. I have the 2" level as well and trying to see if adding the extra 1/2" spacer would do the trick or if there is a fender liner mod I haven't though of. Thanks in advance!

Sorry, no solution before changing wheels. The rub was so minimal, that it really didn't need any fixing.

Last night, placed the order for some Katzkin leather.

 

Ordered Dark Graphite with Pacific Blue stitching.

 

Hard to read and really see the colors here:

I ran with Katzkin seat covers in my '08 Silverado. I did the dark graphite with navy blue stitching because they truck was dark blue. They put out a real nice cover. The leather holds up well over time. I also did a black suede insert, which I wouldn't recommend as its not like real suede...but still looked good.

I did factory leather this time around because I didn't want to mess with that, plus they had the black with white stitching I was looking for.

Good to know they last, thanks for the post! I can't wait to get them and then installed.

Pics of Katzkin:

 

Katzkin was installed yesterday. Love the feel and look! My pics suck, I'll try to get better ones later. The Dark Graphite looks great! Flash makes them look lighter than they are.

      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.
