Thanks!

 

I actually kinda like the stock wheels. One day I might do wheels since I plan on keeping the truck for 10+ years. I'd rather get rid of the stock tires first. Not impressed with them at all.

Are they still putting the garbage goodyear wrangler sras on the 18" stocks for 2016? If so, i agree... they gotta go Edited by dbcooper

I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

Yep. Same tires. Not impressed with the traction at all. Now granted, I've never owned a pick up before and there's a little learning curve to driving without weight on the rear tires. But I get this thing sideways more often than I feel it should on wet backroads. Same with getting into the ABS when braking on wet roads. And it's not a question of driving ability either. I'm a police driving instructor, so I've driven a pretty good selection of vehicles at lots of different speeds.

At least the winter is probably over here this year. I'll likely run the stock tires up until the winter and switch over to some Duratracs or something similar.

After years of bashing spacers, I some talked myseld into purchasing a set. I called up Bora and ordered a set of hub centric 1.5" steel spacers for the rear. They will be built sometime within the next 5 days and shipped. Pictures will of course be posted.

 

thanks guys.. now you know why I'm struggling with the choice.. I've never seen chrome switchblades like the front, which makes me lean that way.. then I look at the black and think they look great too.. killing me...

Thanks for the vote

Personally I think the chrome switch blades look cheap. The design of that wheel with a chrome finish makes it hard to see the edges/lines of the wheel. Which then make it look big and bulky and appear cheap. Out of the two I vote the blackones.

I'll have to look into one of those. I've always bought Extang, but I haven't had luck with the last two that I've bought. Time for a change.

I had a flex, it was either a lemon or I'm picky but I always had standing water in the bed after the truck sat in the rain. I have a tonno pro hard fold now, it doesn't leak. Functionality isn't as good as the flex was from an latching mechanism and you can only get 2/3 bed access unless your remove the cover. I'm not totally satisfied because of that but, I paid less than $500 shipped and I can't bring myself to drop $700+ on another cover.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      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.

      2024 Sierra Vibration - Need advice

      By 24trailboss · Posted

      Typically it is the Torque Converter, I have a 2.7L Trail Boss and between 25-65 MPH at 1300-1500 rpms under light throttle it has a shudder which I almost consider and bobble or a gargle sound. They replaced my TC but it did not help any, others say it has fixed their issues. It has been back twice now with no fix after.
