Why would you think that? If I go to the Chevy Accessory site, I can get a painted set for mine for $100.

Can you show me a painted set that comes in Dark Ash Metallic/Titanium Rush Metallic? This is a new color for 22 refresh. From 19-22ltd you could get color matched caps. The high country trim (and maybe other trims??) came from the factory with color matched caps. For 22 refresh the high country comes with chrome caps. It just doesn’t seem like painted will be an option for my color. If I had a color that has been around a while, sure.

Her favorite color is Chrome. Remember that one? Not color match. Or black. My truck is actually Mosaic black so it should look pretty jazzy😄

Chrome for me. I know a lot of people going back chrome and taking off black wheels etc. A lot of black outs has run it's course. To me, it's always a breath of fresh air to see chrome. Some like blac

Thanks! How is the chrome holding up on yours?

 

I may have to grab a set the end of next month when my commission check hits. LOL

Don't wait too long lol.  They have been out for a long time and just got a few sets in.

Ahh I guess that makes sense. I didnt realize that they were not available for the 22 refresh and that it was a new color you were looking for. I took the statement as they were just simply not there at all anymore. My bad. :)

I picked up the caps today.

Looks like a major pain in the ass to install though. 

Anyone done this?

When I had a new black one installed under warranty, I watched the gentlemen and he had to pop out the mirror first.  To get to the clips on the cap and it came off. Thought the mirror was going to snap when he was wrenching/tugging it off😂🤦‍♂️😂

 

@dieselfan1  make sure to post pics. Interested in seeing it with chrome. I might do this when I get my snowflake wheels to match.

It’s really not in the least bit hard. Takes a few minutes is all.  Lots of good YouTube videos on the subject.

Neighbor did his, says be gentle with the plastic tabs or they break and then rattle forever.

Before and after.

I like after better but they were they a ****** to install. Took me around 3 hours total.

I struggled with getting the puddle lights in place before snapping them in place.

 

BTW the cones are door ding 

guards.

Keeps the dumbos away a few feet😁

So you always take up 2 parking spots wherever you go?

Only at the places I own.

I park out at the farthest spot everywhere else

I hear you. I try to park out further out but it always seems some jack leg will still come park next to me.

Along with dashcams (front and rear with parking modeScreenshot_20220715-145735_Photos.thumb.jpg.3c4055bf5b9712d27b88fb47100a0cc0.jpg) in both trucks, the security camera also helps cover my ass.

Lot of hit and runs here thanks to idiots and the two nearby bars.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.
