Was wondering if anyone else is having issues with upgrading their OEM wheels?ive got a 2021 LT 2WD with 20” tires and wheels and wanted to change over to the High Country wheels. 
 

keep hearing that they won’t fit? Anyone else aware of this issue? Something to do with the brake calipers or wheel liners???

They'll fit.  As long as it's a wheel for 2019 up.  2018 wheels don't work because of the larger 4 piston calipers on the '19. Here's my 22" wheels on my 2019 RST.

Any wheels from a new body to new body fit.  So 2019-2021 High Country wheels would fit literally any other 2019+up T1 1/2 ton.  

 

Its taking wheels from a 2014-2018 truck and trying to put them on a 2019+up where the problem lies.  Those wheels don't clear the front calipers.

Well I’m definitely confused shinty is now because the dealer is telling me the opposite of that. For example - I have a 2021 Crew carb LT 2wd and they are telling me that the factory wheels off a high court will not fit on my truck. That they’ll rub on turns???

BS... they don't know what they're talking about.  Nothing to be confused about.  They'll fit.  Be sure the tires are OEM size 275/50/22 . A 305/45/22 may rub but still doubt they would.

It's possible they could rub on the 2wd model since the front does not have as much clearance as the front on a 4wd.

 

To check, just go to the Chevy website and see if it lets you build a 2wd with 22" wheels. Or search inventory for a 2wd w/22's.

Nope.  I have a 2wd, High Country's come in 2wd and many friends have put 22's on 2wd's and no rubs.  There's a thread on here of many members with 2wd's that put 22's.

Just make sure the offset is below +29. 
 

2018 and down will fit with a 3mm or 5mm spacer. You will not rub on 285/45. I have a 2wd 2020 and have no issues. 

It's not just the offset but the angle of the spokes.  I wouldn't run a 285/45/22.  That's OEM for 2018 down and too short for the '19 up.  A 275/50/22 with a '19 up High Country wheel will not rub. Period.

I’m sure the angle of the spokes is more important than the offset 🙄. 
 

From a stock 20 to a stock 22 tire, there is still some height difference, all I am saying is, you will not rub on a 285/45. Also, you will not rub on a 275/50/22 as it is stock for a 19/21 Sierra, better?

      2001 silverado 1500 5.3L secondary air monitor won’t complete
      By 01Silverado2wd
      hello gm-trucks commuinty i’m having issues with a smog readiness monitor not completing. any information on this issue would be greatly appreciated. my truck is a 2001 Chevy Silverado LS 1500 with a 5.3L v8 and it’s 4x2. all the readiness monitors complete except the secondary air system causing the truck to fail smog in california. i’ve heard the air pump turn on at cold starts and even replaced the passenger side check valve. also replaced the solenoid that sends vacuum. everything in the secondary air system seems to be operating properly but the monitor won’t complete. i’ve driven 100s of miles and done countless cold starts but no luck. even the smog referee said the system is working properly and i should just drive the truck more. anyone else experience this issue and what did you have to do to complete the monitor? there are no codes stored currently and the truck runs fine. thank you to anyone that helps

      Driver's seat leaning to the left?
      By Jgardow92
      I have a 2022 trail boss lt that has about 6100 mile on it now. Bought it brand new in may 2022 and it seems like the drivers seat leans to the left towards the door. Almost feels like Im gonna fall out of it and no matter how I adjust it it seems the same. Visually it looks like it sits level and is fine. Is it possible something is broken inside like the frame? I would assume the frame would have to be sturdy. Is there any place that sell a better bottom cushion?

      L84 can I save it ?
      By Fredo1888
      My l84 5.3 cracked some pistons now thinking of doing a light hone but wanted to know if it would even save the engine ? The scratches are pretty light my nail doesn’t get stuck but I do feel em. The pours on the other hand I’m not sure what could have caused those little things ?

      2020 Silverado sway bar hitting CV axle
      By MisterEhEDC
      Hello all, My Sway bar was hitting my CV axle, as the title says. So I crawled under some trucks at the dealer to see what stock trucks are like and it turns out that the new TB/AT4's have longer end links then my 2020 TB. The new end link has a 3 inch rod vs the 1-3/4 inch OE part.
       
      The part number for the longer end link is P/N:85590925

      Need help diagnosing noises coming from my 2020 Silverado 1500 5.3L
      By Sir_Griglesworth
      Hello everyone. I've recently purchased a 2020 Silverado 1500 from a dealership. I found out late in the sale that the truck was used as the dealerships "loaner" which didn't really bother me even though I know people beat up those vehicles. Anyway, I'm pretty in-tune to vehicle sounds and I had a couple of questions regarding noises I'm hearing from my vehicle. 
       
      The first is a clunking noise and a physical jolt when I shift from Drive to Reverse. I have my foot on the brake and am on a flat surface. I notice it a lot after I've been driving for a while and go to back into my garage. I took the truck back to the dealership and they chalked it up to bad U-joints. They slapped 2 fresh sets on, but I've still go the issue. Any ideas what it may be? I don't feel like anything is going to fail, but I also don't like the sound and don't think it should be that way. I have another service appointment next week and I'd like to help them out with ideas considering they don't really seem to care.
       
      The second is a ticking noise coming from the undercarriage. I' got under the truck today and believe it's coming from the rear portion of the engine, but I'm not for certain as I've never been beneath the truck while it's been on a rack. The noise cannot be heard when standing at the front with the hood up, but I can hear it very noticeably when standing at the driver's door. I do not hear it as the engine is heating up, but that could be because every other component under the hood is loud as h*ll while the truck is heating up. Once the engine is approaching operating temp, it's very noticeable. As you can hear from the short video, it's every .5 to 1 second or so and is always present during idling. Again, may not be a big issue, but I hate hearing things on my vehicles that I can't attribute to something else.
       
      Thanks for reading my ramblings. I can try to post longer videos if anyone needs. Thanks in advance!
