Tires are 285/55/20 Toyo AT2. They were great with a small leveling kit but feel and look small with my lift. Soon to change them to 285/65/20 Toyo MT. Also finished the plasti dip and dried up.

Turned out good. Goes great with the silver. :thumbs:

Finally installed the lights and wired everything. Kept ALMOST every wire for everything, including HIDs, either under the dust cover (the black cover that says GMC, or in the dead space on the sides of the engine bay. Compared to all the wires hidden under that cap, there's nothing seen in the bay, took me all day but it paid off IMO

Did you order this grille or had it painted or what?

I'm interested in one of those pieces but slightly different. My truck isn't 4x4 and no trailer brake. I want a trim piece that just has the hole for the lights and that little wheel and the rest is solid. You think you can make something like that? I want to put switches in that space for lights etc.

How are those Aires rear liners? Price? They look really nice and appear to have great coverage and containment. I have Huskys for the front but am looking for something for the rear. Are they full coverage to the back?

Did you plasti dip the front grill and bumpers? Or did it already come black like that

came black from factory

i'm not a big fan of Chrome so i bought a WT (because budget and black things)

also i love modifying and customizing my things so options are selfmade :)

if i was richer i would buy a higher class and it would come all black too but full options:)

    • Yes.   Yes.   We might be intermingling ideas with the term 'severity', in one of my past vehicles it could pull up DTC via the vehicles own user interface, at any given time when one would do this there would be an assortment of codes that were 'trivial' including 'communication' issues. This would generate a bunch of, potentially false alerts or some many that they would get ignored. Which you mentioned earlier.    You also mention several things that might be redundant with the vehicles own systems or indicators: The truck has an oil pressure gauge, monitoring it via this other system wouldn't be a priority except in comparison to other values or if there is an actual oil pressure problem.   Same thing for miss-fires or other problems, the MIL already signals the operator to an issue...   ...to the point about what one wants to see first, if there is a miss fire detected, I want to see miss fire counts or fuel trims first, if I have an oil pressure problem I want to see the oil pressure first. So, perhaps the 'systems' that are showing abnormalities are what gets displayed first.   I think your device is what connects at the OBD port, ease of use for the consumer, it could still have a 'pass-through' port for a second scanner, computer, etc.   Yes.   Based on my comment above, if an error appears, the report would be more specific to the system having an error.
    • Saturday 87 was 2.98 at the local meijer when I filled up my car with 93.
    • I like the idea.  I thought about putting a deposit a few years ago when they first dropped.  I still want to drive one and have inquired about doing this with them, like a ride and drive event they said they are coming but it hasnt happened even with them built in Indiana.  
    • That's a tough spot to be in, I personally would question spending 1/2 the book value on a repair vs. selling it as-is.    Presuming you own it out right, sell it for 10k and have a down payment for a replacement truck, or spend 10k on the one you already have...   I still think there is a cheaper transmission out there via recyclers, aftermarket or rebuild. (Cheaper than 5k for the unit)
    • Sadly, there's a drought of good 92-95 4.3 cars at junkyards in the area otherwise I would have gone fishing for parts. Not that they don't come up, there's just nothing good in the yards right now.   I tore into the intake yesterday evening, easier than I thought, and I might have this problem licked for cheap. Two of the intake studs came up with the bolt on removal, no big deal but that's why it looks funny with studs only on one side.   There's pooled gas on both sides of the plenum. Highlights boxed in green. Picture-right side has an obviously split pressure line from rubbing on the #5 injector nylon line. #5's line is worn in that spot but not all the way through. Passenger side intake (picture left), not sure, but I think the pressure regulator is hosed. Rebuilt spiders don't come with the pressure and return hoses so I'll need to replace those no matter what. A pressure regulator is $30 so I'll try that and if I end up having to swap the whole spider, it was $30. I'll be grinning ear to ear if that's all I need.   Parts arrive Tuesday.   Sure enough the shop was here before. That's a new gasket. Vacuum lines and wiring are a tangled mess, I sorted that out last night as well. Spent about an hour just picking up general slack and shoddy reassembly around the engine bay. Cheek-pokered the battery tray, got it all cleaned up. Sometimes things just need a little elbow grease and a few minutes of time to be right again.
