Looking for a set of winter rims for my truck. My truck is brand new with highway tires and 20" rims. Looking for another set of 20" rims to equip for the winter months with some A/T rubber. I ALREADY have the Tires and TPMS Sensors so I am currently in the market for ONLY rims. Preferably lightly/moderately used with no major issues or defects, mainly because my truck is new and I want to keep that appearance. Instead of pulling the rubber off my new rims to put the rubber I bought on, I am looking for a second set that I can take care of, but mainly use to take the brunt of winter and all the salt without deteriorating/tarnishing my current 20" chrome rims. The aim is to increase longevity and looks on the ones I currently have installed by alternating. Going to switch sets on and off as the seasons allow. I don't currently have a price range in mind, just looking to see if anybody has anything in the ballpark of what I'm looking for. I know there's probably someone who put an aftermarket set on and has their stock set sitting in their garage. Just a matter of reaching the right person. Thanks.

You may want to check ebay for those 20" Wheels.

I have been seeing a ton of GM OEM Wheels on ebay for reasonable prices, if OEM wheels is what you are looking for. There are also companies that make replica GM wheels for a decent price, much cheaper than ordering wheels from GM. Check ebay for sure, they have a ton of GM wheels on there that may be what you are looking for.

Been looking pretty rigorously the past month. Haven't found anything super great that I am willing to hop on right away. Was hoping to find someone that's looking to dump off a set of stock rims that they put a couple thousand miles on or something up there like that to make it worthwhile to run in the winter in Michigan. Craigslist is hit or miss, most people are looking for local buyers and most things I find that I would jump on are out of state and don't want to deal. Just putting out a feeler forum just to see what comes up. Still looking other avenues as this continues on until I find something that works. Unrelated to the forum, looking at your description... how do you like the level you put on your truck. As of right now all I have is a Borla Cat-Back ATAK on my truck. Been batting around the 2" level kit from RoughCountry for a bit. Just wondering how you've liked it?

The RC spacers worked fine, no issues, no harsh ride.

The RC bottom spacer is priced right and very easy to install. Probably the easiest front lift spacers to install for someone who isn't used to installing lifts, anybody can do it. You also don't have to modify any factory parts like you have to with all of the 2"-2.5" top mount spacers.

 

I no longer use the RC spacers because I replaced them with Rancho 2" lift struts. Just have more options with the 9 position ride adjustable lift struts.

      I like the idea.  I would pick diesel if I had a choice. I need pictures though.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By newdude · Posted

      I've installed cheap eBay new aftermarket digitizers before.  They work.  Did a bunch of Cadillac CUE (aka Cadillac's MyLink) for someone years ago.  They all worked fine after the repair.    That number 22740886, that is a component part # for GM.  You can use it to search, but its not something that's obtainable at the dealer level.     So pretty much any of these will work - 2015 Colorado Digitizer for sale | eBay

      Exhaust heat while towing!

      By fondupot · Posted

      You can install tailpipes that direct the exhaust sideways vs the OEM one that goes straight back. There are several on the market, do you own research. HOWEVER, you need to make sure the Venturi vents are still intact, otherwise it will throw a engine code. There is a sensor somewhere that detects back pressure on the exhaust. And if it doesn't collect the correct metrics, it will throw the truck into limp mode.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      "Teardown" is complete. Head surfaces are clean and ready, new intake is prepped and ready. Coolant drained and water pump is removed, radiator is removed, new hoses and pump are ready.   The replacement intake is also from a '95 (with I think 260k, the odometer said). Noticeably less pitting where it covers the rear coolant passages. I'm not sure if that's a tribute to more frequent use, more frequent coolant changes/upkeep, or if the intake was machined at some point. But it appears I found a good one.   My coolant hoses were original, and the lower hose still retained the factory spring inside. It's not really rusty, but it's got deposits all over it. Unsure if I should re-install it (will thoroughly clean it first). Someone said hose technology has gotten better since 1995 (has it?) and I don't need the spring. I think modern EPDM is what made those hoses last from 1995-2026, so it's a question of how much suction can the water pump really pull, and will it collapse the hose without a spring?   I'm stopped and waiting for parts, however.   When I first brought the truck home, the fan was intermittently hitting the radiator shroud. I could see someone had monkeyed with the shroud (put a bunch of cardboard as a spacer between the upper/lower shroud halves. Someone said the motor mounts have likely failed and the engine has sagged. I wasn't sure I believed that. The engine is really solid in its mounts: To remove the old intake I *just* nearly permanently welded to the heads with freshly cured RTV and gasket snot two weeks ago, I literally had to use the arms on my lift and a chain with a bolt attached to the intake to pull it loose. It almost picked the front of the truck off the ground before ....scuuuuuuuuuuup.... I could actually hear the gaskets tearing and it broke loose and the whole truck settled back down. Motor barely moved.   SO, those parts I'm waiting on... The lower radiator mounts/bushings had completely failed. The radiator needs to be insulated from the rad support, and the bushings help the rad stand at the correct height. The plastic "baffle" was also destroyed at some point. Someone had attached the shroud to it incorrectly, overlapping a joint that should have been underlapped, creating another suspect issue potentially causing things to hit the fan. Broken tabs, side is busted off, and it's perma-formed/bent where it was jimmied incorrectly.   The baffle? Unobtainum. Long since discontinued from GM, of course. Aftermarket/capa/chinese? Also unobtanium. In GM's infinite wisdom, it appears there are at least two different variations whether the Blazer is 2 or 4 door, and I can't yet tell if they shared the same part with the S-pickups. Plan B, if I can't find a viable used one, will be to create a bracket to re-assemble the critical joint I need to seal a gap with the shroud. But that will bug me, it won't be...perfect.   The water pump bolts appear to have been installed with...plumber's putty. I guess, sure, if it works...? I've found a few "backyard fixes" like that. Someone's been here before....   If I can't find someone to jam bamboo under my fingernails to fill my free time this week I think I'll install the driver's power window motor and replace the rear door speaker that's inop. I've got a genuine GM "9.5" ohm working replacement. Why GM used a non-standard resistance....nevermind. Of course they did, you can get more sound from a cheap factory amp that way.   And the saga goes on...
