    Anyone used adapters to put 5 lug wheels on a 6 lug truck?

    I'm looking for wheels for my '23 Sierra. I really like the US Mags Rambler but it only comes in 5 lug at 22". Way back when I used some Ford to GM adapters on Big Mama with no problems but I'm wondering about how much 5 to 6 the adapters will push the wheels out and how thick they need to be...

    Sign Recognition Not Working- Solved

    My 2023 Sierra has HUD but the sped limit sign is blank. I thought it had something to do with my OnStar not working but I found out it works by using one of the front camera. I’ve gone in the DIC menu and made sure the option is on and that the front cameras are clean. I feel like if it was...

    Big Mama needs new tires - need feedback on new size

    My 07 Denali needs new tires and I’d like a little softer ride in my old age. She currently has U2-55’s size 22x10 with 305/40/22 tires. She rarely rubs, mostly on right rear under load. I’m thinking 285/45 but wanted feedback on your experience with size and comfort. She’s lowered 2” in front...

    Advice on buying a used RV

    Wife and I will be unofficially retired at the end of July and are looking for a used RV around $30k. We’ve got a place in Mexico and family in California so we’ll be making that trip from Virginia 3-4 times a year. We’re undecided on class A or C but want to stay around 30-33ft. Diesels are...

    Odd but specific stall and service brake issue

    This only happens under these circumstances. Tow boat to lake, no issue. Tow boat home, which is on a hill, no issue. Put rig in reverse to back boat down driveway and rig stumbles, rpms drop, then “service brakes” message comes on. No stored codes and new pads, rotors and front calipers. I’ve...

    Driver seat and pedals stuck on preset 2

    I know I saw this and I think it was traced to the memory controller. My 07 Denali only does this when my wife hits her preset now it’s stuck for 5’1” woman and I’m 6’2”. Anyone recall this? I’m headed out now to dive in looking for codes and fuses. She’s no longer allowed to drive it. Happy...

    Anyone switched from Yukon to Sierra and regretted it?

    I’ve had Big Mama (wife names all cars) for 9 years. Kids are gone. I haven’t used the 3rd row in years. I’m thinking of a 2014 or newer Sierra crew cab 4x4. Still need 4 doors at times but could use the versatility of a truck bed, more towing power, and newer gadgets like BT, 110 outlets, USB...

    06 Silverado - Bracket That Adjusts Headlight

    On our drive to Mexico my Dad’s headlights started bouncing. When we got there I saw the white plastic piece with the adjusting screws was broken. What’s it called? He’s in CA and I’m in VA so I’m going off memory.... bad way to go. I tried various names and sites but none looked like it. Maybe...

    Driver window squeal is back

    07 Denali thought I fixed it but it’s cold again. Rolling window down only makes awful squealing sound. I tried lithium grease and pulling the weatherstripping back no luck but if I push out on the window as it rolls down it gets better.

    I seem to have trouble searching threads for answers. I must be doing it wrong. I’m looking for info on black bear tune on an 07 6.2 and what you can gain. More mpg is the goal but a little more grunt doesn’t hurt.

    Driver Door Hinge Noise

    I didn’t see this one in the archives. My driver door started making a clunking sound opening or closing at the 2nd notch. I lubed the bearing on the top hinge and looked for any loose bolts but found none? It’s an 07 Denali. The sound is pretty loud and definitely sounds like metal popping like...

    Honest Opinions Please-With or Without Side Molding

    Just looking for some quick feedback. I thought I'd really like the look of removing the side molding on the way to de-badging. I'm not sure if it's because the molding has chrome as do the wheels or what it is that's keeping me from loving the look like others I'd seen debadging. Let me know...
