2018 All Terrain.  2inch leveling kit.  Would like a 4 inch lift and run 35s.

Don't worry. You can run either a Zone 4.5" or BDS 4" and run 35's, especially on stock wheels. With the stamped steel UCAs 12.50 wide can hit the UCA but with 22's you'll clear. I know all this because I have a 4.5" Zone and 35x11.50x20, and I trimmed nothing to clear these. No rub or contact anywhere.

Just picked her up yesterday. Completely new to Silverados. I wasn’t thinking half ton, but they were so aggressive with the offers, that there was only about a $1000 difference from the Colorado I was looking at. Loving the truck so far. EEB90E26-2392-4B1A-A342-53ED232C4BAB.thumb.jpeg.4911e9acf027f700a35a76931fd92ba7.jpeg

Well, I finally traded my old truck a few weeks ago.

Dream color combo and the front end I prefer did me in!

For some odd reason, the chrome has grown on me - I still think I need to break it up a little bit, but i'm certainly not ready to black everything out like I was on my old truck.

 

Edit: I forgot the mention, these trucks drive ridiculously smooth. My old truck's felt like a covered wagon in comparison!

I looked for 6 months to find a green one in a lower trim level, but only ever found LTZ's and high country's. Then a month after I bought mine I found one. Such a pretty color.

Traded in my 15 for this factory ordered LTZ Doublecab 6.2 max tow. Went with the black interior with the heated/cooled buckets and console.

Looks great!  Did you replace stock UCA's?  What springs shocks did you go with?  Looking to do the same 4.5" Zone lift.  Not sure if I should spend the extra money on Cognito UCA's and coilovers.

I didn't replace the factory UCAs. I like the Cognitos but didn't want to cut the service perches out like Cognitos suggests, and because I don't plant to run Baja.

I would like to get a set of coilovers but I haven't pulled the trigger on those just because I haven't been able to find the logic in spending $1500 on something like that. I have been considering swapping to Bilsteins though.

    • Those are parts changers. It can get expensive though. I was a mechanic for 30 yrs. My truck has made this noise since new. I really don`t know what it is. It really doesn`t bother me. I`m still in warranty but have not brought it to the dealer.   I`m not buying the oil pump prime thing. Screw the TSB. I believe it`s in the trans pump gears. They rattle when that piss poor ULV oil drains off after a while. I believe those sharp tooth gears, with backlash, can rattle when dry. Not a vane style oil pump. Wonder who`s right? Me, or the TSB?🤔   Maybe I`m wrong?
    • Sounds about right. I miss the days of mechanics lol. 
    • On the PCM side, blue PCM connector, pin 18, solid gray color (no stripe) wire circuit 435.  That is the EGR low circuit which an issue on that line (be it the wiring, the PCM or the EGR valve or system performance) will trigger P0401 when it tests that code.     There is also a VERY old TSB that states to make sure you clear the DTCs ANY time the PCM is unplugged, reprogrammed, or if the EGR valve is unplugged or replaced as the PCM has an auto zero function in the PCM for the EGR pintle data   61-65-59: SMU - SECTION 6E - ENGINE CONTROLS - CLEAR DTC'S - (Nov 25, 1996)   "CLEAR ANY DTCS FROM THE VCM ANYTIME AFTER DOING VCM REPLACEMENT/ PROGRAMMING, TURNING THE IGNITION ON WHILE THE EGR VALVE IS DISCONNECTED, OR REPLACING THE EGR VALVE."   Some diagnostic aid notes in the GM diag on P0401 for a 1995 S10 Blazer:   Diagnostic Aids Notice: In order to prevent further damage if the EGR valve shows signs of excessive heat, check the exhaust system for blockage (possibly a plugged converter) using the procedure found on the restricted exhaust system check. If the exhaust system is restricted, repair the cause; one of which might be an injector which is open due to one of the following reasons: Stuck Grounded driver circuit Check the oil for possible fuel contamination if a stuck open fuel injector is found. Poor connection or damaged harness - Inspect VCM harness connectors for the following conditions: Backed out terminal BL 18 Improper mating Broken locks Improperly formed or damaged terminal Poor terminal to wire connection Damaged harness Intermittent test - If connections and harness check OK, monitor a digital voltmeter connected between terminal BL 18 and ground while moving related connectors and wiring harness. If the failure is induced, the voltage reading will change.
    • maybe get a service manual off ebay?  or check charm.li (website) or subscribe to alldata.com for it?
    • This biggest difference in a HM oil is in contains some  "Seal Conditioner". DEXOS oils and most shelf oils are "Dry" oils which over time harden seals. "Seal Conditioner" is more times than not, an Ester. Addition will soften the seals over time but will not repair one that leaks or has cracked. Esters also provide some cleaning but these HM oils don't contain enough to solve out hard deposits. Just the soft stuff.  Also a function of an Ester.    Ester's are not 'allowed' as a 'co-base" by license. Weird, right?  A certain amount is allowed as an additive. Bunch of game playing is what it is. It's why HM oils don't have a DEXOS approval.    DEXOS is a license 'with' a specification but is not a specification. Never was, never will be. It's GM's slot machine always paying the house. Use what you like.
