They look great, mind telling what wheels those are?

Thanks.  They are OE Creations PR196 22" and just came available a few weeks ago.  Wheel Pros is the distributor for OE Creations and I got them from a local shop.  These came from Wheel Pros New Orleans warehouse.  It's a 2019 OEM style wheel.  Quality is superb and finish is flawless.  I'm very picky about my wheels and extremely satisfied with these. They balanced out perfect and required very little weight.

Haha he is out driving it and probably sleeping in it. Not checking the forum. ?

Sorry it was a long day left at 4am to drive to detroit.  Was on the road at 10 back to Indy. Almost got rear ended, hit a rain storm where I couldnt see 5 feet in front of me.  Made it home about an hour and a half later than expected.  We had a cookout with some friends.  Woke up this morning washed and ceramic coated and coated the leather.  I am exhausted.  Ill post some pics shortly.

Put track tape on before I left so I didn’t destroy the front end before the clear fire is applied. It lasted through a monsoon

Congrats Ryan, he's a keeper for shure…..Awsome!

The Satin Steel wins the show again. Love that color! I’ve had my SS for 2 months now, and my wife still talks about how great of a paint job it is. 

 

Awesome truck, Ryan. Love the pic of your son debadging it. Lol. “Train up a child in the way they should go...” ???

 

And I love how your neighbor has his RAM Rebel parked up on the curb. Gotta use that “off road” truck somehow, right? ?

Posted

That rebel is a work truck.  Not sure how long he will have it.  He usually has a ford for a few days then goes back to his personal van.

Looking good brother! Love that you got your boy out there helping you. Looked like a crazy ride home. I had a good laugh at the tape but it worked! 

Posted

I stopped for lunch and was fixing the tape and adding some more. Guy next to me goes sir may I ask what your doing explained to him and he was like oh that’s a damn good idea. Then like everyone else does it have that cool tailgate [emoji2361] this question is gonna get old no but it is power up and down

Mine has the fancy tailgate! I do wish it was power up but oh well. I felt like i would never use the crazy features of the tailgate but i picked up 45 bags of dirt today and man i have to say the tailgate was pretty handy.

I thought the tailgate was a gimmick when I first saw the commercial, but it's friggin great.

Damn dude, I thought you were in the wreck at first. Looked like you were swiped, but then saw you say and had to zoom in to see that is tape. ?

    • No ETA is available for that engine at the moment in the GM system.   I would start at the dealer.  Try and talk to the parts manager or service manager and see if they can start a CX Connect case and get an ETA from GM on when engines may be available.  If they just check Parts Workbench and say "no eta", they aren't trying hard enough.  They need to do a CX Connect and chat with DPAC to find the ETA.      
    • I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality. 
    • We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.
