Thanks! They were in the first post. Darn thing said my files were too big to post both pictures at once.
 
2014 Silverado Z71
Blue Topaz Metallic
4" BDS Suspension Lift
18x9" Fuel Boost -12 Offset w/ Fox Shocks and Coilovers
Fallen Wildpeak AT3W 285/65 r18
 
Going to bump up to some 305/65r18 tires next time.


Hey man, your truck looks great. I've got a 15 Silverado with a 2" level at the moment. I'm running the 265/70/18 Falken ATW3's as well. Did you install the BDS yourself? Did you recalibrate your speedo? What kinda mileage are you getting now? Do you tow anything?

I did install the lift kit myself. Not too difficult, but a little tough torquing all of the bolts without a car lift. I am getting about 14mpg that is about 60% on highway at 80mph and 40% around town. My speedo is only off 1mph at 80mph (speedo says 80 when actually travelling 81) with the 285/65. I tow a medium sized tractor a few times a year, but have not done so since the lift. The tires I am running are only about 1" bigger than stock (32.6" diameter) so the power difference is negligible.

Made a huge mistake buying my '17 Sierra Double Cab. Needed the 6.5 bed and figured I'd compromise on cab size to save a few bucks. After close to a year of remorse my dealer gave me a great opportunity to go back in time and buy what I should have from the start!

No rubbing at all, if I'm not mistaken I think 285= 32.8

285 has nothing to do with height. 285 in the number means the tires are 285mm wide. The number after that is the percentage of that width and equals the height of the sidewall...

285 does in fact determine height as well. Go look at 285/55, 295/55 and 305/55. Both the 295 and 305 is taller than the 285. The 305/55 comes in nearly a inch taller than 285/55.

New 17' I just picked up.

Traded in the 16' Duramax... didn't have a need for a diesel anymore.

That is because the aspect ratio (55) is the same. A 255/85r16 or a 275/60r20 are both taller than a 285/55r20, because the aspect ratio is higher. 

A 295/50 and 305/50 are both smaller than a 285/55. Aspect ratio ultimately determines height.

Switched out CK375s to these. Not sure the name but they're 22" replicas to the ones off the new Denali Yukons. I also added bilstein 5100 front and back. Added Michelin defenders.

Love the wheels! I’m thinking of getting those too. How do you like them? What size of tires are those?

    • Google converting 98 4.3 spider injection to carburetor if all else fails. 
    • My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.  
    • The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.    
    • I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
