After having chrome and black, I can saw I prefer the black because it seems a bit easier to get/look clean. Although, I'm talking more about the satin black than I am the gloss back of the H109's.

99% of the time polished looks better than black

There is an exact same truck living and cruising around in Willinboro, NJ. Same model, same color, same wheels, same low-rider tires. Is that you?

its most likely me as I live near (not in, but I'm guessing you do lol) Willingboro (not willinboro) and I have to drive through there from time to time unfortunately. There's also not that many clean trucks around, most are cluttered up or cheaply done. Tires aren't low-rider they're 33x12.5x22, slightly larger than GMs OEM 22" tires. Your 275/55/20s have LESS than 1/2" more sidewall than me, so I suppose using your methodology you have "low-rider" tires as well. However mine are 10ply, load range "E". Are yours?

 

You're that guy that's always worried about everyone with 20s and up curbing their wheels right?? Here's a tip, don't be careless/reckless and know how to drive your truck and you should be fine lol.

If you ever see me out don't be shy, stop and say hi [emoji112] I'll let you check the truck out. That's how forum members become friends.

And back to our regularly scheduled program.

 

Casp3r,

 

Did you end up deciding on your rims? I am trying to decide on rims for my '15 Deep Ruby Metallic Silverado. I've got it narrowed down to 4, 2 chrome, 1 PVD and 1 black milled. I like the looks of all 4, but have never had black milled before and not sure how much upkeep there is. I've always been a chrome guy, even with a Harley. :)

For the past week I've been searching for different wheels to put on my white Sierra. I wanted to stick with an OEM look, but also couldn't decide between Chrome, PVD, or Black. PVD was appealing because I thought I could keep the wheels on year-round up here in New England. After calling around to countless places, I found that the largest supplier of OE replica wheels has stopped offering PVD wheels due to the high amount of warranty and finish issues.

 

I ultimately decided on chrome CK159 wheels on a 285/45R22 tire. I guess I'll keep my stock 17's and use them for winter wheels/tires. I ordered the chrome wheels yesterday and will order the tires today. I'll post a picture of my white truck with the chrome wheels when I get everything put on.

wow, you sound a tad bit racist. I really hope to god you're not LE, because it sounds like you'd be one of the guys that gives us a bad name.

 

And that's the best you've got in regards to my responses to your nonsense? What a tool.......

 

 

I can GUARANTEE you there's no truck around here like mine.

I pay you a compliment and it's taken as racist. I state what I saw and it's racist. You use a minority term for Willingboro but that's not racist? You live on a one-way street?

i used no such term for Willingboro, I inferred it's a bad area (which it is). Your comment was not a compliment, so let's get real and be honest, don't try to flip the script now. You've made disparaging remarks about my truck in the past (which is fine as opinions are like assholes and yours is quite plain) so that combined with this comment is clearly sarcasm.

 

What does the fact it was a minority driving have to do with anything? Why not just say " I saw a guy driving".......

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By Keith179 · Posted

      I’m out of ideas on this truck. 2020 Silverado 1500. 5.3 135,000 miles. Has a p0308 and p050d codes. Smokes From exhaust when cold. Compression test passed. New plugs, wires and coil on cyl 8. Same issue. New coil on 8, no change. Replaced injectors, no change. Bore scope showed oil pooled on the piston after sitting overnight. Pulled head and had machine shop check it out. No cracks. Stem seals looked good, replaced anyways. He also ground valve seats. Put it all back together and still have the same issue. Bore scope shows oil on the piston again. Leaning towards maybe a cracked ring but unsure. Cylinder looked good when the head was off, no scoring or scratches. Any ideas on what else I should look for?  Appreciate the help

      2021 Silverado 2.7L – N232395310 – Can someone with GM dealer access check my VIN?

      By HeronLeal · Posted

      Just want to make sure it is covered by Special Coverage N232395310 Evaporative Emission Purge Pump 2021 Silverado 1500 Custom 2.7L L3B ~100k miles I'm getting DTCs P146B and P146F. VIN 3GCPWBEK2MGxxxxxx   I spoke to a person that works at GM and he said it is not covered after checking my VIN.   Is there anyone here who currently works for a GM/Chevrolet dealership and has access to GM Global Warranty Management / Investigate Vehicle History who could explain how the VIN eligibility is determined?   thank you

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all that information, I might purchase one and see if it will work for me, if not they may let me return it! Yes for sure the tires are definitely within limit for my truck empty, and when I do tow I'll definitely make sure to raise the rear psi for the amount of weight that's going to be on it.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes exactly, more and more these days people/companies are afraid of liability issues so its easier just to say no rather than risk putting their neck on the line.    I will say with the Autel unit or when I used it last year on my truck, it wasn't like I could choose the 2025 model year or even the 2024 model year as that option was not there to manipulate the placard pressures but had to go back to 2023 or there abouts and then it showed up as an option, odd but that was how the software was then and I can't say one way or the other now as they throw out updates every so often. I still would talk to your tire dealer though to start with and they may do it for nothing but also they may have a comment on a better unit to purchase. All I know is that one of the large tire shops in my area happens to use these Autel units for their use and set them up to use the wifi and all of that jazz for constant updating because each tire tech has one handed to them by the shop but I just plugged it into my laptop to update it and yes if one is bought it has to be registered so you can get the link to do updates and then the unit has to be updated before its even used. I am not at all techy so it took me a bit but anyway just a heads up for anything you buy, most likely it will need to be connected to a computer to access the internet to have it updated to the latest software version before you can put it to use.   If your truck is near empty, those tire pressures you listed are a very safe upper range pressures to carry the weight, both the front and rear as I know they could be run lower yet with an empty truck. And if its a trailer and not some motorcycle your going to strap onto the front of your truck on a rack, you shouldn't have a need to inflate your front tires if your at 55 front already, its the rear ones that would need more air if you have much hitch weight.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thank you, I'll check that Autel scanner out and see if it will work for me! Ya I can see GM's point of view if they lower the psi set value for someone and the person sell's the truck and the new owner puts the factory tires back on then their could be liability issues cause the psi warning light wasn't coming on when the tires were under inflated for towing their load and then it might be able to be traced back to GM lowering it.
