Good day fellow GM Truck Club friends,

 

I have a 2020 GMC Sierra AT4 (black) truck. When I bought this thing last March, I asked the dealer if I could simply trade my 20-inch silver/black rims for the black rims that come on the Elevation package trucks. Answer was simple: NO!

 

Questions:

 

1) Is there anyone out there that wants to trade me the rims on my AT4 for the black rims that come on the Elevation?

2) How would you go about painting or dipping your 20-inch AT4 rims, otherwise?

 

I appreciate the help.

If you want them black then you should have them powdercoated. It will be the most durable and attractive finish. Just make sure they are sent to a reputable shop and they are media blasted first for good adhesion.

Good to know... I guess I can look around the Metro Detroit area for this. Not sure how I'd go about doing this without having a set of spare rims/tires.

Some places will do same day with tire mounting/balancing as well for a larger $.  At least there are a few places out here in my area that do.  Good luck.

 

Side Note: my last trucks OEM wheels were powder coated black with no issues after 8 years before I sold it.

Any advice for me? Do you think anyone would do a straight up trade of mine for the black ones (that you have)?

i think so. i am looking for some that are already gloss back. I find that the oem finish holds up better. i had my last sierra for 12 years and plan to have this just as long. so something that last is high on my list

These.

 

20″ GMC Sierra AT4 All Terrain package (Chevy Silverado / Cadillac Escalade) 2019 2020 OEM rims and tires – Alberta Wheels

I'd say powder coat them, they will look great! 

 

Looks like Tacoma 3 off road wheels up in the top right of this picture.

I would have swapped straight up, but I moved out of Michigan to Florida back in October.

I’m getting ready to do the wheels on another one of my trucks. I’m just going to put her up on Jack stands.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.
