My dealer had a set and I convinced them to go straight across. I like the All Terrain wheel look better. I'm happy with the results.

I agree, I like them both but I think it was worth the swap. The gray on the inside of the wheels matches the iridium nicely.

Ok. I have the iridium SLT with stock wheels.

 

You take a stock pic at a gas station and compare it with two glamour shots on a country road with a meadow and crystal blue sky in the background.

 

Then y'all conclude the stock not as pretty.

 

Really.

 

Ha. I like the look but the stock are sharp too. I do note that I don't think the AT has any features that my Z71 4X4 SLT w/LED heads & Bose doesn't have.

Not knocking the other wheels, and these are the only pics I had handy. Mine has a lot more options than I could have gotten in an All Terrain, max tow being the deal breaker. Nothing wrong with having the best of both worlds. Adding a little CF to the interior and these wheels makes it All Terrain enough for me.

275 65 20 Goodyear Duratracs with a 2.5 leveling kit. I don't really like the tires. They are wearing excellent but they are noisy, and the quiet K2 interior makes it much more noticeable. They give a resonant vibration thru the steering wheel at low speed as well. Not terrible, but it's there. I wanted to run the Toyo Open Country AT II XT's from my other truck, but they are 295 60 20 and I'm sure they would rub pretty badly. I'll eventually ditch these Duratracs tho.

It is really interesting and wonderful that we all have different tastes. I personally like both wheels very much and I would probably have just kept my stock rims. (This reminds me of chrome mirror caps and door handle swap with body coloured versions) Your truck looks great before and after!

You know, I was just picking. I like both seriously, but was poking fun at your set up. The two pics with the new wheels - in that very attractive setting compared to the Exxon station setting - made me smile.

I like the stock personally. I have the chrome version and wish I had the polished (or all black). My chrome is chipping already...

 

Interesting that you don't care for the Duratracs. They are amazing tires I had them on my GMT and plan to switch to the exact size you have before winter. They rub at all? Thanks

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
