I ended up ordering the new Nitto 421Q all season yesterday to give them a try. I've had the 420's before and liked them but they only lasted around 25K miles. I've got Eagle LS2's on right now and have done great in the snow... although where I'm at in NC it doesnt get a whole lot of it.

I went with the SSBC stock replacements. As stated up top drilled and slotted are junk unless you get really good ones. Mine didn't last 2 years before they kicked the bucket.
My stock rotors will need replaced soon so I may give the SSBC short stop kit a try. I wish I could afford their 14" upgrade kit but over $800 for them is out of my budget.

come to your own conclusions..but i'll stick with M1
That's always been my opinion of their claims. I normally stick with M1 for the ease of obtaining it.

I've bought ones from brakemotive76 on there many times over the past few years for various vehicles and have never had a problem with them. The ceramic pads they come with aren't too bad either. I usually use them until they wear out then upgrade afterwards.

I'm interested in the tip if you're willing to sell it seperate.

Clear as well.

I bought these crimpers a while back and they have been fantastic. Perfect crimps everytime and easy to use.

Those look sweet!
Indeed! The part number is 40-2021-1ALB.

I'm mulling over a rear cover (waiting to see if a DJM rear swaybar will work with my GMMP exhaust and if the bar will clear an aftermarket cover) and know most people use a TA but stumbled across the G2 and like the way it looks better. Has anyone used one? It also has a built in dip stick tube to see the fluid level.

Payment sent. Thanks!

I can still get a real good shine when I polish mine but they are pitted in spots and the inside is flaking out. They were on the truck when I bought it and not in perfect condition so I use them as my winter rims and keep my black reps out of the sand and salt. Good maintenance and cleaning from the get-go would be the best with any chrome wheel to help avoid any fugly stuff
I ended up finding a good deal on 3 CK370's and bow tie centercaps so I went ahead and bought them... searching for the 4 rim now. I've had the best luck with factory GM chrome wheels vice cheaper aftermarket so I decided to give them a try.
-
See what warranty is on the chrome before you buy, most only have a year, clear coat would help it last longer, but my Boss wheels started to pit after 1 1/2 (no clearcoat) and I keep a good waxing on them. So i sold them before they got to bad,
The warranty on the OEM GM wheels is one year as well. Might just stick with the Enkei's since they're polished with a clear coat to not worry about pitting as much.

I'd stay away from the 07+ vortec max trucks but then again they don't come AWD! I've had two of them and the rear main seals leaked like crazy on them both. Took both to the dealer multiple times and they could never get them to stop leaking for more than a week. I've also had a 2011 Sierra Denali for a while and really liked it. No problems with it what so ever other than horrible gas mileage due to wanting to play all the time lol
-
Pretty sure those are the same dealer-optioned wheels I have on my SSS and I have the Chevy center cap
Blown 346 is right, they'll pit if not polished often.
Yes those are them! Are ya'll saying the chrome needs to be polished to prevent pitting? The Enkei's are clear coated which would help those looking nice.

I think I have it narrowed down to two similar wheels.
The OEM GM CK370 20X8.5 with +31 offset (would get the bowtie cap)
Or
Enkei M6 20X9 with either +20 or +30 offset. I'm quite surprised I like a wheel from Enkei but think it'd look great with my truck since I don't have a lot of chrome and the silver accents would match the OEM SS emblems pretty well. I'd also be able to put a meatier 305/50/20 on this rim.
Here's is my truck as it sits now with some American Racing 20X8.5's. I don't remember the model name off hand but want something more simple.
-
Well I was finally able to dig up these two pictures of a truck with NNBS wheels. I don't need to tuck so it looks like the +30 offset isnt what I need.
-
It all just depends on the setup. The stock SS wheels are a +22
Thanks, I pretty much deduced it down to that based on all the other threads but wasn't able to see a pattern on what works with the +30 and what doesn't.
-
I've searched all over but haven't found what I'm looking for. I'm looking to get some new wheels and really like the GM CK370 model for the newer trucks. I'll be lowering the truck 2/2 soon but not sure if the backspace will work from the newer trucks. From what I've found, I believe the CK370's have a +31 offset and many threads on here go back and forth about +20 or +30 is what people have on their trucks.
Would these sit right or should I look for a different offset wheel? Thanks in advance.

I've searched around on here and other forums for a while but have quite found what I'm looking for. I've got the borla made GMPP currently on the truck and looking to add a resonator in front of the muffler to cut down the drone but not necessarily make it quieter (although it will be a biproduct). I know typically on normal mufflers the smaller the louder but does this also apply to the bullet style mufflers?
I'm not really worried about the price but want a stainless muffler to go with the rest of the stainless system. I think I have it narrowed down to three options and they're below in order of how I'm currently leaning.
1. Kooks PN R300-10. It has a case length of 10". (Should have the least impact of output level correct?)
2. Borla XR1 PN 40085. This one has a length of 15". (Afraid this length might make it too tame)
3. Dynomax PN 24248. It has a case length of 12". (Not really sure if there'd even be much difference between this and the kooks)

I'm in. Sent you an email requesting a paypal invoice.

I installed the same ones this weekend. Much better!
Shopping for a floor jack
in Off-Topic/General
Posted
The Amazon link one is similar to what I have and think you'd really like it. I have an OTC aluminum floor jack with two pistons that I used for my Vette but it still works just fine with my truck. It's been fantastic with no issues what so ever. I've used the sears version aluminum jack and it sucked at life! Always leaked and had piston issues.
