Hi all,

 

I have a 2018 Silverado, 1500, double cab, 4x4, custom with black bumpers. It had factory 20” chrome clad alloy wheels and I wanted black 18” wheels. I found a set of the black clad alloy wheels with bfg ko2s in very good shape, so I got them. Unfortunately, they did not come with lug nuts and I didn’t get to see what the originals were. Does anyone know what lug nuts I should be using with these? I’ve determined that they should be the same 60° conical seat, and 22mm is fine. But what about length? I haven’t actually tried putting them on yet, but it kinda seems like they should be longer than my original 45mm chrome ones. I ordered some oem style black replacements off amazon, but they are not quite as deep as my originals. 41mm vs 44mm. I don’t think that should matter either, based on my measurements so far, but it definitely seems like they’ll be recessed back in the wheel pretty far. Do any of you have these wheels and if so could you tell me what the lug nuts are like? Are they black or chrome? How long are they?

 

thanks in advance!

Chevrolet version (what I have for my stock black Chevy wheels.)
A bit pricey, though.

I know this is a tad old but McGard makes all the OEM black lug nuts for GM. I used to work there, they might have what you want. they are M14X1.5 black PVD coated or Black chrome. Try calling them.

    • You won’t do better than stock exhaust without headers. Just put your favorite muffler on it and it will do the job. 
    • I have seen different people in different places post different sizes of exhaust as stock for my 2014 Sierra L83. Some say 2.5 some say 2.75. I am considering replacing the muffler with a Dynomax Super Turbo, perhaps 17739.  I had the factory L83 5.3 replaced with another L83 5.3 from Jasper Engines. I also put new Walker Cat / Y pipe on. I would appreciate opinions suggestions about what would be a good muffler setup. My main interest is a low rumble and the best flow / fuel mileage I can get. Not interested in straight through glass packs or loud exhaust. Those days are way behind me now.  Thanks Guys.  
    • Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"     I'd say its the head, and its either leaking at the casting line and dripping down the intake into the cylinder, or its another spot on the casting itself at the cylinder that is getting wet.  
    • Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.    
    • Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!
