I have 20" 5 spoke wheels on my 06 Sierra. The garage wants to replace them with these. What are your thoughts???

 

I think I like my original 5 spokes better. Thats what made me like the truck in the first place. New is good to though but these wheels were never available in 2006...kind of messes up my wanting to it original. I think I will have this rig forever..low miles still. Who knows give me your thoughts!!!

I like em

 

Thanks for the help. I talked to the garage and they only suggested these wheels so if they pit in the future it may not be as noticeable. I asked for them to order my original style but they still have to get back to me. I do like them though so if they cannot...I will go with them. I have not seen these ones yet in person or even on a truck online. Just the GM store online. If you have them, let me see them!

I dont like the dimples

 

Thats what made me look twice. They faxed me a black and white copy and you know how faxes are so I typed in the part number and got this photo off ebay. The dimples will have crud in them and I hate crude. If it did not have them it would have been an easier decision. They said they can order the original style so I am keepin them. I like the clean flat look anyways. The 6 spokes are nice though. Thanks for the help. My second set of replacment defective wheels are on their way!

Is this warranty work? If so, then find some on your own that you really like and have them cover the cost.

Thought about that too but I like the original ones. I was actually going to have them put the new style on and sell them and buy a set of my originals from someone else...glad I do not have to though. I might have made a few bucks if I did! Thanks again and it was warranty work. I have a warranty for 2 more weeks so I thought I better get it in there. The originals were badly pitted and bubbling like the set before. These were bad though. I'd wipe the wheels down and it would shred my towel. Bubbling in every corner around valve stems, corners, etc. Glad they got replaced.

      Not what I said but I can work with it anyway. Complete combustion produces CO2 and H20. When it's cold enough you can 'see' it as water vapor but it is always there and more so the better the tune up. It's physics, not an argument. In a cold motor when the cylinder jacket is below the condensation temperature the water goes to the pan and not the PCV system. Heating the oil moves it from liquid to vapor where it is removed by the PCV system. When and how much depends on temperatures. Of the air, the water and so on. It has little to with the humidity. Water is a combustion product.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I can only guess as well that something was clicked on that brought you to the half ton choices by accident. By all means try again and chose the 3500 and sort out that its the cab and box configuration you want and choose four wheel drive ( rather obvious to have a transfer case ) and to make sure the dually isn't chosen. I find or at least did a couple of years ago when I was sifting through the options that it would sometimes jump ahead after choosing the series of truck and in this case 3500 and skip some of the other initial configuration choices and have to watch the heading bar and sometimes back up by choosing the first in the series of option break downs. I think sometimes the computer will remember items that were last chosen and skip over the first part. Anyway go through it all and depending on the trim level chosen and I think the LT is one that may fall into that where the option of having the 4 high auto transfer case can be chosen, where as a High Country doesn't show that option as it just comes with the fancier ( not necessarily better though in terms of potential problems ) transfer case but for sure both transfer case choices are equipped with high and low range in the HD truck segment. Like Newdude said who works at a dealership, its the half tons that are the ones that will come with the single speed unless certain options or trim levels are chosen that add the two speed transfer case but as your looking at an HD, you don't have to worry about that hot mess.    One item that at least didn't show up and not sure if it does yet or not in the HD options on the manufactures pubic website is the upfitter in cab switch option if one is desiring that. Unfortunately its not wired in at the factory but the panel with the switches is on the dash but the wiring harness to be installed gets tossed under the rear seat to be installed by whomever after the fact to complete the installation.

      Yesterday we brought home a 6yr  old Havanese dog from a nearby SPCA.  We've had her for 24 hours and we are delighted with how well she is adjusting to her new home.  It  was a huge decision to adopt a dog at this stage in our lives but we believe we made the right choice!   it was reported that her first 6 years were ones of neglect.  I think she's already realizing her life is going to get a whole lot better...  so is ours!

      Which 2027 engine will you choose?

      By Coastie05 · Posted

      No doubt, I definitely agree with you. However, considering the 6.2 and 3.0 have been catastrophically failing with very little miles, I figured I would put trouble free. I’m at 18,4xx and still not a single issue.
