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.

Need everyone's opinion, even if they are negative lol. So I'm looking at either aftermarket replicas or aftermarket with a little more offset than stock. Im stuck between 3 wheels. As you'll see, I don't like anything too busy, just something simple and clean. Here are my choices

 

Sierra All Terrain replicas; I would stick with a 20" wheel and just use my current tires. This is one of two cheaper options

Dick Cepek DC-2; can't find a pic of them on a k2 truck, but if I went with these I would most likely go to an 18" wheel and have to purchase new tires, etc etc. This would be my most costly option but with a -13mm I think it would set the truck apart, besides the fact that a good bit of jeeps have them from what I see lol

And last but not least would be Dick Cepek Gunmetal 7's. If I went with these I think they actually look good in my factory 20" and I could reuse my current tires. These have a good offset at +13mm, so it wouldn't stick the tire out past the fender, but close to flush I believe. I have really grown towards them and I can get them to my door for under $900, a tad more than the Sierra reps, by maybe $80 or so

In my mind, comparing cost and looks, I think the Gunmetal 7's take the cake. On a black truck I think they look good. I also have always loved the Sierra All Terrain wheels, and those I wouldn't have to worry about any rubbing (don't think the Gunmetal 7 wheels would rub, but the DC-2 wheels with a 33" tire and a -13mm offset may rub on a 2" level). Anyways, y'all shoot your opinions my way!!

I like the all terrains, and the gunmetal 7 wheels the best. The dc-2 look old-school to me, and not in a good way. Like they should belong in the 80's. I like your other two choices though.

Got an A.R.E. Z series topper installed today. Remote unlock on the rear window. Dual LED rope lights inside and tilt in slider so I can wash the back window of truck. It will take awhile to get use to it but I think I'll like it.

I agree. The reps get my first vote, gunmetal 7's are an option if the reps aren't available. The DC-2's just don't cut it for these new trucks imo.

Truthfully too soon to tell. I just got them put on tonight. I only have about 20 miles on them. So far they ride great with just a minor hum.

Swapped out my 18in Rockstars for some fuel ff02 22x12 rims, and installed a low profile bed cover. Exhaust work is next. I have to change the dual tips location and plan on adding kooks longtubes

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      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.

      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.
