Well it happened to me :(. Took my 20” oem rims and tires and left my truck on a couple bricks. I had wheel locks on them. But we all know that won’t stop a determined thief. They broke my passenger window to get access to the wheel lock in the glove box. Let this be a reminder to all to keep your trucks safe and don’t be complacent because thieves are everywhere

Wow, that sucks, with the amount of money you should get from your insurance you should be able to get some real nice wheels and tires, OEM wheels are usually more expensive than aftermarket. Time to upgrade!

That sucks for sure.  I never thought of them breaking a window to get to the wheel lock.  I didn’t even think they used a wheel lock (key).  I wonder what would have happened if they couldn’t find the key??

Man that is a load of bull! I hope you are made whole and then some, and to whoever did that, wouldn't hurt my feelings if their car died on the railroad tracks as they were trying to beat the train.

I hate a thief...had two guys who actually almost got away with my utility trailer. I heard them out on the side of the house, auto flood lights had activated so after grabbing my home protection device (Glock .40) I ran outside and on my way out I turned the floods off. I fired two shots (into the ground) and they took off fast leaving the vehicle and trailer. Cops came, found out the truck was stolen too. I got a warning (with a wink, wink) for discharging a fire-arm inside the city limits but they were really cool about it all. If I had seen this going on early enough...the compound bow would have been utilized and they would not be walking today.

I'm really sorry that happened to you, it makes me sick..     The good OEM rims look nice but come on... stealing OEM?!   I hope you get a fat insurance check and this turns out to be a positive for you.   I really hope they get caught.  If they do, please let us know.

First post here gents / ladies.

Wheel thieves hit my '03 SS
Traded it in after 16 years for a '19 RST last week.

Those slant eyes look so good, even without the wheels.

OEM wheels and tires can fetch as much as $1500 or more.

My boss just sold his brand new takeoff 18" Z71 wheels and SR-A tires for $1500

That sucks guy. Wire a tazer into your glovebox and a couple leads on the latch that you can turn on when you go inside for the night. That will teach the meth head.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Fix one problem and find another.   Truck didn't have a thermostat in it so I flushed out the system today and refilled with 50/50 Dexcool. This truck is so old (LOL) that it has a sticker under the hood alerting people to the fact that it contains such. There is also an orange supplement with the owner's manual alerting the owner that "Your vehicle is one of a number of late production 1995 General Motors vehicles that use a newly developed engine coolant in the cooling system..."   I was still a little flummoxed by what seemed like a rich condition (exhaust smell, and a puff of carbon with a punchy rev). While watching the coolant temperature and testing the thermostat with my scanner, I happened to notice the IAT (incoming air temperature) to the intake was -40F. I know the temp is below average today, but I can still feel my face, and I was wearing shorts.   D'oh!! I realized I had never plugged the IAT back in, and the airbox was out while I was doing coolant. So I paused, reinstalled the airbox and plugged in the IAT, and viola. Things cleared right up, and I watched the coolant temp climb to a reported 198 degrees on the scanner (195 thermostat) and then it dropped to 194 (open) and then back up to 198 and held. Let it cool, came back, checked the coolant level and was satisifed.   Victory lap?   It needed more than the couple of gallons of gas I put in it from almost bone dry, so I ran it up to the gas station. It had earned it, or, at least I was pretty certain I wouldn't be draining or removing the tank anytime soon.   CEL popped on just as I was cruising a nice steady 40mph, just after coasting down a slight downhill curve.. Of course, it did, because, why let me enjoy not having dash emojis for a little while.   I just happened to have the scanner plugged in. I don't text and drive but I might scan and drive. Don't tell the police.   P0401, EGR flow insufficient.    Well, hello, EGR... ...my old friend! Welcome to the party, now that the engine reaches the factory-programmed operating temperature. I'm sure it was gagging on hostile, rich exhaust and carbon this whole time so I'll take it off and look again.   At least it's easily accessible, and worst case, about $65 to replace.   To keep, or to sell... Hmm. I want it running correctly either way. It's easier to sell when there are no fault codes.   It needs tires (they're aged out and cracking)   It could probably use an oil pan seal, or maybe the timing cover gasket/ junction with the pan needs redone because I've got an issue there that leaves a drop of oil on the floor.   If I do tires I'm sure they'll say the ball joints could use freshening, and, and, and, and.... At some point I'll have to stop. I can't (shouldn't) make it perfect, that's not what this rig is.

      Gloss black would look better, but I'd paint match the grill before ditching the chrome bumpers.

      Yeah, that's my understanding. The newer trucks are 433Mhz vs the older 315Mhz TPMS. Putting these wheels on is costing me a small fortune, but so far, I'm still OK with it.    Next week the chrome bumpers are scheduled to be replaced with flat black ones. That would complete what the dealer still owes me.
