Hey guys, I'm still running stock 275/5520's on my 15 Sierra SLT with a 2" front and 4" rear drop. Has anyone played around with getting a bigger tire under the lowered trucks? I'm doing research and planning for when the stock tires burn off and wouldn't mind getting a little more beef under it to get that sport truck look. I've been scouring tire manufacturer websites for possible sizes to change to and thought I'd put it out there for your opinion. Perhaps we'll end up starting a tire fitment thread for lowered guys like the lifted ones have? Anyways, chime in if you have an opinion!!!

Every time I see the great look as well as photography of this truck I say to myself "this bad boy should be in a Chevrolet commercial!"

Love,love,love this truck. Need more details. I'm not having any luck searching for a build thread.(not at home and using my phone) Really digging the side exit exhaust. Oh yeah did I mention that I love this truck?

Thank you. No build thread sorry. Some details: 2016 2WD 5.3 Volant Cold Air Intake, Elite Engineering Catch Can, Borla Exhaust Borla Tips, 4/7 Belltech drop, 22" OEM wheels, Continental Tires, Vinyl wrapped bumpers, Denali Grill, Center Console swap. I ordered the truck with almost every option available including spray bed liner, navigation, parking sensors, and lane departure. Just my weekend truck planning to do more but taking it slow.

If you are staying with the 2/4 drop you could easily go to a 305/50R20 and get about 1 1/2" more width while staying at the same 32" overall diameter.

 

I'm running 275/40R22 (30.6") up front and 305/40R22 (31.6") out back on a 5/7 drop...

Good looking trucks showing up guys, loving it! I'll probably be staying at the 2/4 partly because i love the ride with a subtle mod. I've been looking at those 305's and will do some research to see if i could fit em on all 4 corners with no rub.

I'm only lowered about 3" in the rear right now with 305/40r22's all around however as soon as it warms up a bit I will be installing my 2" drop spindles along with 2" lowering leafs for a 2/5 total drop and will let you know how it goes.

      You could try a used 1, they used that engine in the Astro vans, Plenty of them in the boneyard. Look for a wrecked or rotted 1 so the chance that it was scrapped for that reason and not a mechanical issue will be greater

      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.

      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.
