Lol. I hate Autocorrect.

Decided to wash the truck and try out the Mothers clay bar kit I bought a while ago. I've never used a clay bar before and I was surprised how easy it was. However, do to Murphy gaming around I couldn't finish because of a flash down pouring of rain. Only have a bedside and one door to go. Can't believe how much junk I got out of the paint. Got rid of hundreds of little orange rust spots. She's looking pretty good for a 2015 construction work truck. ( Don't make fun of my little tires, still trying to decide on a set of 17's and 18's) Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I never understood the frontend. It's ugly for sure but can't argue with the supercharged 6.2! That part they got right.

Nice looking truck! I did the same thing. Got rid of my 94 lbs a piece 20" wheel/ 33" tire combo for 58 lb. factory 18" like yours. My gas milage went up a few mpg's and the ride is way better. Only problem is my 6.2 turns them over too easy if I'm accelerating quickly from a stop. Embarrassed myself pulling out of a gas station on a hill. Turned out and had to get going quickly because of traffic and it just torched the tires lol. In my opinion these 18" wheels are the best looking and best option for our trucks. I just got a set of factory 17" with slightly smaller tires and the 17's are 5 lbs more per tire and wheel.

Looking online and can't seem to find them. I think GM started adding them in 2016 maybe? Anyone have a party number or source? Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

My uncle had a 70's K5 Blazer when I was young.. It was rugged, solid front axle, could off-road decent from the factory and was body on frame. Then early 80's produced a smaller, IFS Blazer. I liked it though, cool truck styling but in a smaller package. It fit places the previous Blazer couldn't but the weak link was the independent front suspension. I paid cash for a 2003 ZR2 in 2006. Awesome looking truck, still body on frame, decent running gear but build quality was questionable. Now they're giving us yet another car. Cross overs are cars. Not a truck like all the previous Blazers. I'm disappointed they didn't do something more off-road and utility minded with the Blazer name. In Michigan there are far more ZR2 Blazers than Xtreme's. On that note the Typhoon and Syclone were awesome but again, body on frame. There are so many crossovers today and the body on frame technology is going by the way side just for a little mileage increase. Don't get me wrong, they have their place... Just not using iconic vehicles names.

That looks awesome!! Very much like a Raptor but more attractive. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I've had a few sets of the BFG all terrains and they're good tires. However I hate that they run narrow and very heavy. Also most sizes I want are only available in a load range E. I'm looking for a white letter 33" mudder in a 17"wheel version. Can't find one that's not a D or a E. Same thing in a 18".

I'm considering these tires..I believe they are made by Cooper kinda along side the AT3, ATP and Zeon. I can see the resemblance to all three. How do you like these tires? Ride smooth? Sound level? Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

The tires look way too small.. From the side anyway.

I have a 2015 LTZ that had the glovebox USB. Strange place for I thought. Never use mine. I should add that I have the jump seat as well.

Just looking at this is embarrassing. It's not a "Blazer" type vehicle. No frame, no ruggedness, just another car based "SUV". I say SUV because that's how people are referring to these crossovers now. I still correct them but it's a losing battle. So Ford is bringing back the Bronco and Chevy is making another car and giving it a truck name. Brilliant. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Funny..I got on here to see if others were having a issue with warped rotors. My Max tow 2015 ( yes I know it's just a half ton) just started shaking when I brake from 45 and higher. Getting off the expressway is really a shaky experience. I try to cost as much as I can now. I have about 35,000 miles on it now. I've never replaced brakes before 100, 000 miles on a truck.. Totally ridiculous to have sub par parts on these expensive trucks. Maybe I'm pissed because I've been GM loyal all my life and each truck I've bought since my 98 has had more and more issues. Not less like should be expected. I really felt like blowing the damn thing up yesterday. Got it back from the dealer for trans issues. Worked good for about 2 miles. It's been one thing after the next with this truck. It's turning into a love/ hate relationship. .. More hate as time goes on lol. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I'd be surprised if they're only around 100# each. My stock 20" with p-rated 33" tires are just over 90. My stock 18" wheels with worn out 265/65 SR-A's are almost 30# lighter each ! I can definitely feel the difference.

The TH400 also has a 2.48 first gear that makes it seem doggy. They're strong but geared weak for acceleration. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I have the same interior and I'm in and out of the truck all day. Always afraid of this happing. I feel kinda dumb not knowing this but I heard this material isn't even real leather!! Wtf? Why? It would be much more durable. I'm guessing it's PETA or maybe GM thinks it's too expensive?

TFL always ( or at least what I've seen) does their testing way above sea level. No idea why they do this because most of us don't live in the mountains. Forced induction doesn't have a problem breathing at that level and the TFL guys do make sure that they mention that. When Ford ( or any manufacturer) did the tests that the Ecoboost had the 2.7 Ecoboost coming out on top they sure didn't go up against a 6.2 with a 3.42 gear. I didn't mean to come across as pissy when I argued against your statement, hope you didn't take it that way. Another issue I have with the tests you may be referring to is that is rare to see them use someone who can drive well. As for my times they've been with my cousins meter, not sure what it is. Also several stop watch runs, etc so I'm not claiming them to be gospel but they're close. Timed his truck the same way.

The 6.2 is good for mid 5 second 0-60 mph runs stock. Not arguing, just thought you may have had a typo there. I've actually run as low as 5.1 seconds and that's with 33" tires. ( And a tune) Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I don't see how the egoboost crushes the 6.2. I've never had one able to hang with me yet. As for the 2.7 it's just downright silly when they line up and think they have something cool. One of my favorite things to do is dust the blue kool-aid drinking crowd who listens to Fords oral crap. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Just for poops and giggles I picked up a set of stock 18" wheels with some worn out Goodyear SRA's. Took off the stock 20" LTZ wheels that had Fallen Wildpeak ATW3's 275/60/20's in a P rated XL load rating. I was convinced the 20" wheels were part the culprit of my rough ride. Now my plan is to use my Bora 1.5" spacers and get some new tires, either 32" or 33". By going down to a 18" I figured I could smooth out the ride with more sidewall. Let me tell ya that these worn out 265/65/18's ride super nice. Way better than the 20's. They don't look as nice but after feeling the difference I don't care. I'm actually hoping to trade someone my 20's for stock 17's or get some Method 17's. You guys with your 20" and even some 22" wheels sure make your trucks look tough but I realize it's not for me lol.

Getting old marginally beats the alternative.

Nice. I've had two sets of Stock 20's and 1 set of 18" that didn't have enough room in the pockets ( recessed areas in the wheel) to clear the studs. Go figure I found the ones that wouldn't work lol.

Looks great! Did you have to trim your wheels studs with the 1.5" spacers?
