Here in the Antelope Valley (Lancaster/Palmdale) area, it's been hanging $3.379/3.479/3.579 (FasTrip in Rosamond, cheapest in 50 miles from me), for over a month. 

NICE! My boys that do my powder coating are right there in your area in Palmdale. They’re one of the best in the business. I’ll actually be taking all my new components down there into weeks. I have to remind myself to fuel up before I leave haha

Here's my 2019 Silverado 1500 LD. So far I've added a 3.5" RC suspension lift, 17" Rockstar wheels on 33" Toyo tires, Borla ATAK exhaust with black tips, black running boards, tinted windows, added leather interior, swapped in all Memphis Audio speakers with 700 watt amp and two 10" subs. 

 

Next thing I'm doing is swapping out all the chrome pieces for color matched. Eventually I'd like the truck to be all silver and black. That includes the 4x4 emblems, Chevy emblems, and lettering if I don't remove it altogether. Tail lights smoked as well.

I love the tire size ! 35" ? Which axle ratio ? And I love the 2014-2015 front fascia when lifted. More classic truck like than 2016+ (which I like a lot too ? )

315/70/17s which comes out to about 34-34.5”. Truck has the 3.23 gear ratio. The 14-15 front end is definitely still my favorite. Classic Silverado lines.

No, but I can ask him. And the tires are 35x12.5 on 20" wheels.

I have a 2017 Silverado 1500 CC  planning to put the 2" RC front level kit.

Which set up would give me the more beefy look without rubbing or trimming?

-275x65x18 or 285x70x17

As far as wheels, I'm thinking doing -12mm offset and 17/18x9. 

Help would be appreciated. 

 

Picture provided. My stock tires are due for tire change, so I might as well upgrade.1225067291_IMG_8553(1).thumb.jpg.142249938e9bb121fff88354267cba23.jpg

After doing more research, Rough Country says going 285x70x17 with a -12mm offset is outside of the recommended specs and some did have to trim. Can anyone confirm this? I am only doing a 2in RC leveling kit, which is this one.

When the starter dies on vacation...... 47K miles and the solenoid was so corroded that it spilt.

What’s your rim and tire combo?

You probably wouldn’t have to trim much. I did 295/70/17 on 0 offset rims with the same leveling kit and it rubbed a little bit but nothing terrible

    • My office is slowly filling with Blazer parts. Getting ready to do the big bang of repairs. Intake (second time), water pump, radiator, hoses, and I'm going to re-seal the timing cover where someone went hog wild with silicone. Might as well, because I don't think that's done right.   There's a local tow yard that I didn't realize also has quite the inventory of junk vehicles. This is an old school junkyard. No waivers. Cash only, you were never here if anyone asks. Don't piss off the owner, or you'll end up in the back of one of those cars, headed for the shredder. And if you see something, don't snitch. Cars stacked double high, wasps nests, trip hazards and junk everywhere. I found a few little odds/ends for my Blazer. The $20 I spent was worth the experience alone. But I was never there. What yard?   I officially love/hate this truck. It's so out of my wheelhouse, roughest vehicle I've ever owned. Every. single. repair. -is so hard-fought, everything that can go wrong, goes wrong. Currently in a hate phase, and kind of wish I was closer to sending it down the road with a lucky new owner, to be honest. Preparing for the day when I tear into this thing...lots of pre-funk with Ibuprofen.   Rock Auto sent me a bad reman rear wiper motor. It was a bear to install. The tailgate in these things has about eleventy-billion fastners and pieces and things that need to be uninstalled/moved just to access the shoddy rear wiper motor. The casing on mine was cracked clean through, btw. Nice, GM, nice. SO I got this new motor installed, hit the switch, I see it wig-wag (without the arm installed) and think I'm golden. Reassemble everything. With the wiper arm installed I gave it one final test. Time to clean up and take the other half out to dinner, collect a paycheck, right?   Nope. I hear the plastic worm gear stripping as the arm hung up. Just like my broken motor. Weak/old and shredding itself internally. I can assist the arm and the range of motion is normal, and it parks correctly. It just doesn't have the poop to actually sweep the arm with a blade on it. Oh, hell. Turned the key off and shut the shop door behind me. I get to do that over again, too.
    • A complete delete is the most thorough mechanical solution, but it is also major engine work. On a quiet truck that is still under extended warranty, opening the engine purely as prevention is difficult to justify. A plug-in disabler stops commanded cylinder deactivation, but it does not remove or repair the collapsible lifters, so it should not be treated as failure insurance. I would keep the oil full, document the maintenance, and have any persistent tick, misfire, or loss of power diagnosed promptly. If the engine eventually has to come apart, that is the logical time to compare an OEM-style repair with a complete delete. The right choice depends on the truck’s symptoms, warranty status, expected ownership period, and whether the engine already needs to be opened. We explain that decision in more detail here—full disclosure, this is our own guide: https://www.bluev8.com/blogs/news/do-you-actually-need-an-afm-disabler   One exception: some 2021 L82/L84 trucks have RPO YK9, meaning cylinder deactivation was already disabled in the factory ECM; on those trucks a plug-in disabler is redundant, although the AFM/DFM hardware remains inside the engine.
    • Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?  
    • I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery.
