Get yourself a good set from a reputable seller and you should be fine. You're going to hear a lot of different opinions on this matter at hand. I always like to say, "you get what you pay for". I'm currently looking for some as well but will probably buy a set after winter is over.

Check Craigslist for new takeoffs. I bought a gorgeous set taken from a brand new GMC SLT for $600. Brand new Good Years and TPMS and lugnuts included. People buy these trucks and immediately change the wheels. Hard to get a better deal than that.

I bought OE Replicas in PVD Chrome and have no issues with them. One thing I did find interesting is that they were made in the USA while the factory takeoffs I was originally considering were made in China.

I second this. When I bought my truck I swapped my wheels and tires and put them on Craig's List. They had wheels, tires, TPMS, lug nuts... And someone got a smoking deal!

Ditto!! Wouldn't buy any others, they cost a little more for reason.

 

Why don't they sell off their website? They said you had to call in to order? Really, who talks on the phone anymore these days! Is shipping included with the price listed?

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      That one looks decent for the price   BUT..I want something that also supports OBDI/1.5. A lot of the prosumer-grade scanners don't have legacy support in order to keep costs low. I believe the Autel does if you go higher end with them.   For fun, I reached out to a local Snap-On rep because I was interested in the 2600. $1895 MSRP, says he can do $1595. That's still a lot, but then again, that's not a horrible discount for just asking out of the blue. Could probably do better if I was a regular buying off his truck, but I'm not.   Not sure if I mentioned but I didn't realize with USED scanners from Snap On that you need to make sure a) the serial number isn't flagged as stolen. On the newer ones, they can remotely disable the device. B) Make sure it's paid off. If they still owe money to the truck or if they financed through Snap On, the device can be remotely disabled until the balance is paid.   Still waffling on whether I go with a ~$500ish Autel/TopDon or spend bigger money. The value seems to be in the prosumer brands. I'm not giving them enough credit TBH, actual production repair shops use them daily BUT I'm still allergic to certain kinds of underdog products trying to unseat American companies with solid reputations. SnapOn's scanner isn't wholly made in the US, but it is assembled here and they have US support and probably the most proven/ robust legacy support.   Something to think about.

      Winter Returned

      By Atlas · Posted

      I'm thankful to live where we don't have extreme weather. We might all be blown to smithereens when Mt. Rainier goes, but 80 is warm enough in the summer and I can generally count the number of hard freezes in the winter on one hand. The cars here don't rust and they don't get sun-baked, either.   We have finished off many of our average 52 days of "clear/sunny" weather, though. Sunsets are coming earlier, the nights are a little cooler. It's right around the first week of September when we get our first warning that summer is coming to a close with overcast skies and the start of "hoodie weather" temperatures during the cooler parts of the day. By October, it's usually time to ditch the shorts. By November, it's mostly raining.

      My point was: If what you are doing works, keep doing it:   But, I will have a talk with AI to make sure their info is more accurate going forward.
