Killer! What lift, tire, rim sizes? Looks like you needed to trim the front bumper quite a bit?

thanks man! 8" readylift, 22x14 wheel, 37x13.5 tire. These amp tires run wide and are stated to be 14" inflated- perfectly squared up sidewall. Some 37x13.5 run narrow and wouldve looked stretched on a 14 wide. Glad I researched it a bit and got a brand that ran wider than advertised.

bumper spacer and moderate trimming. nothing major.

It looks great. I have a CST 8" and 37/13.5/22 toyo open country MT's on a 10" wheel. I think I want to get 12" wheels to make the tires look a little wider. I'm guessing I'll still need to trim a little on the bumper.

did/do you have any bump steer? anything to correct it? i need a steering stabilizer on mine. its very noticeable. the shop said with my old 35s theres none but once the 37s and 14 wides are on, the bump steer appears immediately

Yes, it was noticeable for sure. I bought the CST steering stabilizer and that helped a lot.

Yeah, definitely let us know. Did you do the gears? I went with 5.13's and I'm glad I did.

no the stock 4.10 gears the 6.0 comes with are just fine for my needs as a non daily driver.

6.0 or diesel? I have a 6.0 and I’ve been debating 5.13 and 4.88. Mine has the 6L90 6 speed with 3.73, 7.5 rough country with 37x12.50 on 20x14. I’m going to be going to 38x13.50 ridge grapplers when I change tires. When I tow my 34ft camper (10-11k lbs) at highway speeds about 70mph, it loves to live in 4th gear. I hate driving with it long distance at higher rpm.

6.0, The gears bring it back to where it should be. I would do gears even if I had the diesel with 37 to 40 inch tires.

Yeah I’m just torn between 5.13 and 4.88. I’ve been leaning toward 4.88

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      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.
