I like that idea, how's the longevity of the powdercoat on rims?

Normally holds up better than OEM paint.

Powder coating is very strong a resilient when done correctly.

How can you not like black rims? That's roughly what your rims would look like. You could also plastidip them but that's somewhat temporary.085f68cb73e3814eaa0e5f82f52a882c.jpg

lol, when all else fails, rub dirt on it. Your rims look good, I'd definitely do that black gloss if i did it. I am going to shop the stocks a little longer for a swap. If that doesn't work, I'll probably go the powdercoat route. Thanks again for the input guys.

I kept looking at Craigslist and eBay until I found the midnight rims I wanted for a good price, then sold my stock rims on Craigslist. I tried the swap idea first but it was more hassle than just buying the rims I wanted.

There are also wheel swap places on eBay that send you powder coated gm rims, you mount your tires on them, and ship back your stock ones to get your deposit back.

Nice, love those midnight rims. I am on the lookout for rims to purchase as well, I'm not in a huge rush so I figure I'll just keep my eyes peeled. Worst case, I can do one of the powdercoat swaps or I have a buddy that might be able to do it for me.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By DustMcGrath · Posted

      First of all sorry, I know there are a ton of transmission temperature threads...   My truck is a 2025 LZ0 High (10l89 10-speed) High Country with NHT max trailering package. The NHT package is supposed to have "enhanced cooling."   Normally the trans temp sits around 200. It seems like with any real stress it quickly jumps into the 220s (for example climbing a grade unloaded at lower speeds). I haven't towed much with this truck, but I'm concerned if it gets this hot unloaded.    I've tried a few different things to keep the temps down (tow/haul mode, sport mode, low range when that makes sense) and nothing seems to affect it.    I'm curious if others are the same behavior or if anyone has found techniques to keep the temps down. It seems like it just can't handle reduced airflow at lower speeds, even with relatively light loading.    Thanks!

      2027 3.0 l Duramax

      I'm at 105,000 miles on my baby Duramax. No issues yet. I hit 31 mpg's traveling through hilly terrain to a project in Colorado. I will buy another 3.0. I'm not concerned.

      Which 2027 engine will you choose?

      By cautious optimist · Posted

      I'm glad you have 14,000 trouble free miles. Frankly though, that's a really low bar. A bare minimum of 80,000 trouble free miles as the norm (rare exceptions always exist) across the whole model year should be a starting point. Good maintenance habits should push these past the 100,000 mile mark with only the most minor of issues. Let's hope GM truly leveled up the quality game with these new engines and exploding engines under 50,000 miles are gone.

      This is exactly the reason our EV has consumed so much of my driving. I don't want to fire up a cold diesel or gas engine just to drive 2 miles up to the store. It's arguably terrible for an engine. If I'm not driving at least 10 miles and don't need to do truck things, the truck stays parked.   Enter the EV. It's immediately heating or cooling the cabin as needed (heat pump). An engine doesn't need to warm up or be driven gently. I can tear off in it with ZERO guilt. Move the car 1/4 mile from store to store and not think "gee, I'm short-cycling a lukewarm engine".   It doesn't idle in a drive-through. Doesn't idle at stop lights. (OK, neither would the diesel, if I let stop-start have its way, but I don't).   Even moving it out of the garage to wash it... HA! It doesn't need to be started just to move 40 feet. I have cars that I will actually put in neutral and push (no start) in/out of the garage or shop if they absolutely HAVE to be moved. My nice Camaros.
