Re: Rubber Ring Center Caps Thanks guys, Mike, I will try to order through attached website and see what arrives. Be nice not to have to worry about super gluing o-rings to match diameter but can see it getting trickier to find parts. I was also reading the post and mentioned a reference to...

Hi, Does any one has a replacement part number for the rubber oring / gasket that goes around the center caps? I seem to remember someone referencing it from the McMaster Carr catalog instead of GM p/n... Many thanks !!!

Re: What wheels do you like? I like the Black on the teal to carry closer with the cladding contrast.... any photoshoppers for the Teal Ty? Be interesting too to see what black painted cladding w/ Black rims would look possibly like... Also less dust or haze on unpolished or black than...

Re: Poll - 2002 Bmw M3 Rims Mounted "Yeah or Neah?" Thanks for all the comments!!! Update: I misquoted rim widths first post for anyone's future reference - Should state fronts are 8" and rears are 9". W.r.t diameter of bolt pattern I know the new ones are 5 - 120 or 4.724" and old Syclone...

Re: Poll - 2002 Bmw M3 Rims Mounted "Yeah or Neah?" Yep, I've got to get the little inner caps changed, possibly find a little black GMC sticker or make one up. Also got to get a new set of black closed lug nuts... Ride is a bit stiffer too I'm finding, Think it'll be summer time rims :)

Re: Poll - 2002 Bmw M3 Rims Mounted "Yeah or Neah?" Sorry folks, will try to edit poll options... somehow :)

Hi all, Poll question is .... Do they look good on the Sy? Sorry truck not washed as it's too cold outside... I found a sweet deal, or so I believe, on staggered set of '02 BMW M3 OEM Rims with 6 used tires for $450. Got them last week and trialed this week. I'd long been wanting to get a...

Re: Mysterious AC and Loss of Boost Hi all, Quick update as of this January. Been driving quite a bit around the Southeast for work with knock on wood no boost issues so far since I posted this thread. It hasn't acted up so I haven't tried Dave P's trial yet of disconnecting the boost...

Re: Merry X-mas. Eat well and relax. Dont too much wrenching on the trucks. Even though I did a bad fog lamp bulb this morning :) Merry Christmas

Re: Mysterious AC and Loss of Boost Thanks guys, good notes... Yep, I'm needing to get a data master setup in the near future. I haven't replaced the old stock MAP sensor yet. Might have something there, which I think scanner will confirm. The AC clutch basically stops cycling and the...

Hi all, I've got a odd question that I've been trying to answer for for quite a while on my basically stock Sy. Every now and then when driving around for a short or long period without putting any stress on the engine (hitting the throttle to boost) my cold AC mysteriously cuts off and blows...

Hi all, I've had my Sy a few years now from 17k to now 72k and rear end is slowly sinking more and more. Have the non-stock 1" lowering blocks on the leafs in from earlier because the rear end was high to make it sit even when parked. Lately I feel like even when parked the rear end is...

Hi ! Been pondering as I was reading car magazine about CAFE, i guess the newer standard for mpg ratings on new trucks/cars. You folks ever think they'd put emissions retrictions or mpg restrictions enough up so our trucks we couldn't pass or be used as daily drivers? Just curious as gas here...

Re: New BMW Wheels on My Sy possible dumb question, For the BMW rims do you have to get special lug nut or a different style nut? I think on the BMWs, they use hex bolts to mount the rims into the hubs. Reason I ask is we got hex nuts on our lugs covered by the GMC cap but don't know if the...

Re: Should i Sell? He wasn't showing off in front of some hot girl when making the offer? If in doubt, keep it, Peter

Re: Mini starter I followed the recommendations above got the Advanced Auto mini-starter for a Chevy 454 (P6449S). The fellow at the counter warned me he wouldn't take it back if I got it dirty/scratched since it didn't match the original size I turned in, but luckily no problems and questions...

Re: Refinish My Original Fronts That'll work for me, like the reference to price ;) I'll ask the guy if he can just refinish them. My caps are ok. Hopefully that can resurface them to match the cap? Last question, did your guy coat them with anything afterwards? Help clean easier in the...

Hi all, Need to ask a question. Had Sy a few years now and front rims have slowly becoming impossible to clean from brake spots and stains. So the combination of needing a new set of front tires led me to the local wheel "wizard" shop in Atlanta. Guy wants $180 per rim to "strip" and powder...

Re: Using Black Chrome?? That's true, the crack did start slowly growing more so past 2 years as I've used the alcohol. hmmm, guess Ive got to go back to the black chrome but I do like the plain gray two tone look. If only the cost of replacement pieces weren't so high, I'd swap that cracked...

Re: Using Black Chrome?? Over time I've actually decided I personally like the plain gray "dry look". The black chrome seemed to require frequent touch up and attracted dirt. Actually now use a little denatured alcohol on a rag to wipe it clean and remove any spots or wax, keeping it looking...
