U mean -15? I’m going with the -24 offset. Probably going to shave the wheel well a little. 
 
I really like how the Silverados look in the prerunner style! Looking forward on how yours turns out!


No sir, +15. -15 would be an insane amount of tire and rim sticking out

Pulled a Pgamboa

Be careful... pulling a pgamboa means you’re truck will never be 100% intact. LOL!! [emoji23]

Took the valence off last night for a little change of pace.

What ever happened to the grille guard man? Love that spoiler on her though, adds a nice little something extra.

I have a severe case of parts ADD and needed to fit my truck in my new garage. That bad boy added 12" to the front of my truck.  

 

The spoiler got some mixed reviews on the GM/Chevy FB groups but I like it a lot.  The quality is awesome.

Ah, yeah fair enough. The added length is a bit of a pain on these already long wide turning trucks. I'm looking at adding a grille guard similar to what you've got here, was wanting one with a winch option like an oldschool warn grille guard but have been struggling to find exactly what I want. Truck looks great though.

 

When you going to wrap the interior to match the seats?

I know I want to do something with old man woodgrain but not sure what.  Back and forth between adding Max 5 to them or going with a brushed aluminum look like my stereo surround.  I love camo as much as the next guy but sometimes its too much and I haven't been able to find a quality wrap material in Max 5. I'd like a nice gloss finish....

 

Running boards, brakes, and shocks are next...

Ah, yeah I think most wraps are matte. Def a balance but yours is well done with properly fitted seat covers not the autozone specials so I think if you choose to wrap it can be a nice simple touch. To each their own though. I'm a big fan of kryptek and am wrapping mine as soon as the wrap shows up.

That sucks! Hope you had a dash cam that picked it up.

    • 87 down as low as $5.14 here... winning!
    • Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.

    • It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.
