The LTZ trucks come with them. That's a 50,000 dollar truck.

gm hasnt had discs on the rear of trucks since 05

My 2010 Silverado 4x4 has rear disc brakes.

More like a cost cutting move, just like the chrome caps on the wheels. Its 2011, no new vehicle should have drum brakes any more. Hell my $16k econobox I bought in 08 had rear discs.

gm hasnt had discs on the rear of trucks since 05 (they had HUGE parking brake issues wearing out the insides of rotors), gms rear discs suck on the trucks. My truck with drum rears stops better than my buddys with discs...same truck otherwise. Mine even stops better with the malibu behind it than his does!

SF, they're gonna take care of it. I just can't wait a week to get new wheels. Its my only other DD. I hate seeing my brand new truck on three 17" wheels and a 16" wheel. I bought the pro comp leveling kit and some kmc wheels with nitto Tera tires.

I bought some wheels today and a lift kit. Insurance company is dragging their feet. :/

who is your insurer?

My F150 would probably fit in my garage, but with a J swing driveway and my wife's car already in there, I'm not about to try... I'd break something, I'm sure.

My dogs sleep right by the front door and my vehicle is 6' past that so I'm sure they'd wake me up and I'd grab a gun and go running out the door shooting someone... or my truck. And they'd get away and I'd have a few holes in my truck.

Perhaps a shotgun would be a better idea... Anyone have a riot-type shotgun a brotha could hold? At least that way I could way until they started to run and I'd still hit them at night...

Yeah, that's the ticket....

Thats pretty gangster, but I bought a pit bull just to tie up in the bed, with a long enough heavy duty trucker chain for him to reach around the truck to bite muffuckas...

My new truck sits outside. I can't fit it in the garage, and no, I'm not baller enough to have a custom built huge ass garage. My wife's Edge lives in there along with some crap I need to get rid of.

One of the common denominators that I have seen is that almost all of the stolen wheels are done on trucks that are on level ground. My neighborhood all has an incline to the driveway that would probably make it hard for someone to jack up without it rolling downhill.

Totally unnecessary. Sad you feel the need to rebut some random comment made by someone on a message board in this fashion, ostensibly trying to show you're a baller, I guess.

Anyways...OP - Sucks about the truck. Invest in some better security lighting around your home. And maybe a home security camera.

-10pts. Trying too hard.

Hard my ass. That word fits this site to the "T".

[threefortytwo]

I'm going to give you a +10 for this post, solely because I'm certain it is the first time the word "Ostensibly" has ever been used on this, or the old board.

Can you do something ostensibly, though? I thought you did something for an ostensible reason. Meh, same shit I guess.

I will see your "obstensibly" and raise you the fact that most people on this board are obdurate.

Someone followed you home. I know your neighborhood, and doubt that someone was just casing the place looking for something to steal and found your truck that quick.

The GM 20s and 22s get hit harder then any aftermarket because the theifs know what factory locks are on there, and they can be moved easy because they look like every other factory wheel on Craigslist for sale.
