I love the new look, and i'm really suprised that it didnt rub too badly at this height, i just pulled the fender liner at the very bottom back and tucked it behind the metal and took a hammer and pushed in the metal tab a little, probably going to silicone it tomorow since i'll be in colorado this year and dont want any road salt in there. Anyway i'm throwing around the idea of cranking the bars about an inch but don't really want to shell out 100 bucks for an alignment if it fits ok like it is now. What do you guys think?

 

ps, i'm cleaning off the other stock hubcaps since the carwash thought it would be cool to spray wax on it and turn them grey

That looks AWESOME. I actually like the H2 rims..had no idea the GMC center caps would fit those rims. I would paint the center caps black. Sand them down, use an adhesion promoter primer, then a base coat then a clear coat. I would stay away from Krylon Fusion. I thought it goes on really lousy, never again will I use that junk.

Thanks, i really like the "OE" look and the h2's complement that. I actually like the chrome centers, kind of balance out the wheels, i also like how the back has the exposed drive flange, think it looks "gnarly", friends seem to differ on that though haha. Definitely better than the pizza cutter stock wheels

 

 

Looks nice, very unique combination there. TB adjustment would certainly look better, but it'll do the way it is. :puke:

 

I think i'm going to actually crank the bars tomorrow until one bottoms out, its actually rubbing kind of bad on the inner back fender well and catching on the front, but the front is an easy fix. Its just alignments are 90 bucks, i really wish they billed by hourly rate, but whatever, I'll probably raise it about an inch, im kind of a sucker for ball joint, tie rod, and CV angles.

    • My take: I don't think seeing up to 200k on the odometer of any of these engines/trucks (2014-to present) is surprising. (Excluding the known DEFECTS, specifically, the 6.2 main/connecting rod bearing issues, the defective lifters, alternatively parts that a recall was issued for - I think there were three.)   250K is my line in the sand, anything over that is 'surprising', but not limited to the engine making it that far but including the truck surrounding it too. (We've talked about this in other posts, why I think the engine isn't the deciding factor for ultimate mileage.)
    • I included the first gen-cylinder de-activation (active fuel management) in my statement.
    • Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

    • Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
