I went mostly for easy to clean. ;)

I'm getting rid of the OEM 20s for cheap. Gotta find someone to buy them now.
I'm a detailer so I know the feeling on wheels that are a massive pain to clean! Haha. I scored a set of oem gmt900 Denali 20s about a month ago for pretty cheap that are gonna go on my 2006 soon. I'm excited because I love the look. But I have a feeling they are gonna be a pain to clean each spoke and then keep clean haha.

Nice looking new part! I need cupholders like that! The cup holders in my 2006 Denali aren't quite as wide or deep. My tumblers don't quite fit. Lol.

Does this sound normal? I'm only familiar with my old 5.3. Sounds strange to me. Kinda clunk clunk clunk noise? I take brain meds for OCD so maybe its that.

Does your truck have DoD/VVT? If so I know a lot of guys on PT.net delete that crap ASAP because of all the valvetrain issues so maybe you're hearing the early signs of a problem in that area?

The 6.2 has VVT, I haven’t noticed anyone posting any problems with that. And they didn’t offer DoD for the 6.2, I have heard of lifter problems with that. What kind of problems happen with the VVT?

Both tensioners and idler pulley had toasted bearings. Like bad noises when spinning by hand. The new parts are sooooo smooth.
