I appreciate the candor!  Was there something wrong with the kit?  They stipulate on their website that their tune will only work with the mildest of upgrades and anything further than a cat-back exhaust will need to be tuned locally.  All I have is a Borla cat-back and I'm not looking to do more than the supercharger.  I hope I have no issues...

The kit was o.k. although I wasn't a fan of the intercooler coolant hose routing.  All else was good I guess.  The remote tuning just didn't work for me.  We tried over a dozen tweaks and the truck still ran/drove like crap.  I even paid the guru at Vengeance Racing in GA and he couldn't get it done.  I don't know if it was the kit, my truck, or what.  I know it ran great WITHOUT the kit though!  😉

First paint correction and seal on the AT4 now that winter is over. This blue looks even better after a clay/polish/seal.

Do they press-fit in snugly or did you have to secure them with something?

They fit snugly. I did have to cut one layer around because of the depth of the cap but its on very well.

The new arms don't come with caps, talk about being cheap for RL product.  Caps should be standard.

Swapped out my 2017 Silverado for a 2021 RST. New LT275 60 R20 Ridge Grapplers going on this weekend. Rims might be coming soon. Debating to powder coat stock rims black. Thoughts?

Took a little road trip, about 650 miles there and back, all highway cruising along at 72ish as I wasn't in a hurry.   Gotta say I really like this truck.  Adaptive cruise control was made for this kind of trip, really works quite well.

my setup - 20' High Country with a GM 2" lift kit, Bilstein 5100's all around, adjustable up front.  I've got the GM CAI and recently installed the Borla touring cat back. 285/65 BFGs.   No drone, wooo! no drone detected - so happy with that purchase.   

19mpg round trip. not bad.   Got home and gave her a hand wash, and finally cracked open the Adams Graphene Tire dressing, so far I'm liking the blackness without high gloss.

Installed my Alpha Defense .50 Cal Antenna. Not worried about reception on this since I stream music through Android Auto.

Thanks! Those are OEM 22's. I like that they have the machined edges. I prefer that over all black.

Wheels look good, leave them alone. 

 

Black wheels are everywhere!  Black wheels are like that one song that gets played on the radio 50 times a day and every time you turn on the radio you hear it and want to switch the station.  Black wheels are the overplayed song of automobile radio.  Be different, show a little style :)

By the same logic, there's too many gray and polished wheels, too.

Very True :)

 

However,  (gimme a second to put my flame suit on real quick) 🔥🔥🔥 if I was going to guess, which admittedly means there is no real basis for this other than friendly banter between myself and my fellow friends/acquaintances of a roughly approximate age as myself, the desire to go "bad boy black" with wheels and paint usually tapers off in people as they progress through life.  I still like black wheels, especially on dirt bikes where up until a few years ago most every wheel for the past 30 years has been brushed aluminum...BLAH.  I personally prefer a little bit of paint and a little bit of polish, nothing like a little salt and pepper to add spice to one's life :)

 

That being said, everybody likes different styles and none are better than another when it comes to something as simple as personal aesthetic choices.  A stylistic preference is unique in its ability to be singularly important to an individual and matter not to others, which makes it empowering to those who find importance in it, and ineffectual to those who don't.  That's the true beauty of modifying your personal vehicle to your tastes, and if black wheels give you that warm fuzzy, then Rock On and cast your worries aside!

Haha. Yes this is true. I have always had black wheels, but the stocks have grown on me. Once I get the new tires on it might completely change my mind. Thanks for the input!

As long as they are not Method wheels you are fine.  99 out of 100 trucks in Orange County have Methods.  I think they only make one style in three colors.  At this point Methods should be OEMs

LOL.

      OCI, not when but why?

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
