Had some gunmetal grey PlastiDip kicking around and decided to try it on the '26 Denali. Not a big fan of these wheels so I thought it can't be any worse. Would love to hear  thoughts on this before I get some black and try that, or replace the wheels? Truck is Downpour color.

 

The orange marker lights are next...

 

TIA

I would just buy some takeoff,  for the most part any plastic will ware off and look like $$%$&.  there are usually decent option in the $600 range, I took my time and scored a good set for $400 all in.

 

Good Luck.

I have yet to see a set of GM wheels on a current generation HD truck (2020+) that I actually like. Least ugly is the best one can hope for in my opinion with the current GM wheels. The steel wheels actually look better than most of the alloys to me.  Since they are the equivalent of work boots, I don’t let it bother me to the point where I consider spending money on wheels for the sake of looks. Luckily the 18” ones that came with my 2021 don’t scream ugly at me - they just whisper “can’t you at least notice how ugly I am once in a while.”

I have the 18" black mutilspoke wheels that came with my truck. I like them as they are very subdued and look good with the 295/70's 

 

I am sure that the next set of wheels I get will be some after market all black wheels. Or maybe some AT4X wheels.

    • I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose      
    • Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
