First paint correction and seal on the AT4 now that winter is over. This blue looks even better after a clay/polish/seal.

Got the leveling kit and rear block installed a couple weeks ago. Got the 33x12.5x22 Toyo’s put on this week. No rubbing!!! Very happy with this setup.342258BE-0991-4D7B-814D-2646843A64EE.thumb.jpeg.774cc6a3b2b7181a7b75852b572df837.jpeg8EF2E3CF-C5BE-4630-8DA8-D31EA47DD3C4.thumb.jpeg.577d6ec165e6321f84ebbdb8693a7158.jpeg

What size rear block did you get and where from?  Which leveling kit?

Leveling kit is from Rough County. The rear blocks and u-bolts are leftover parts from my 2016 Sierra. I kept all of the stock parts when I installed a 6 inch lift in that truck. I was going to buy a 1” block kit from ready lift but had these lying around. The 2” leveling kit put the front higher then the rear and I need some rake for towing and hauling.

That's the look I'm going for with my Denali. Did you have any issues with the magnaride in the rear with the blocks?

No issues at all. The Rough County kit has relocation brackets for the front and the rear sensor bracket never moves as it is mounted to the top of the leaf spring.

Started on my onboard air project. 

 

ARB CKMA12 compressor, a small accessory Blue Sea fuse panel for future projects and a 50a circuit breaker under the hood.   I'll post details in my build thread when I'm done.  Here's a pic from today though...

Nice!! Very clean and organized!! May I ask what this will be used for? General? Horns? Air? Is it noisy in the cab when it runs?

Thanks!

 

I like to be prepared, lol (It's an annoying problem).  I originally purchased it for my 4Runner to air up after offroading but never installed it. 

 

I will use it mostly to inflate tires, my boat (and camper I'm getting).  I have a flat repair kit in there as well.  I'll also end up taking this truck on some mild trails while camping and will lower the air pressure for that.  It just comes in handy!

 

It's a great little compressor and it's pretty refined and quiet while running.  The solenoid shuts it off when pressure is reached so it doesn't run constantly like most small units.

Had a Magnaflow muffler installed today and the flapper valve is history.

 

The good:  No Drone at all...I really mean none.  It's almost stock quiet on the highway with just a hint of exhaust noise.  When you get on it though, the sound is fantastic!  Nice edge and you definitely know it's a good old V8.

 

The bad:  Dare I say it's actually quieter at idle?  It's definitely a softer sound.  Stock, the idle from outside the truck  was (I thought) really nice.  Now you really can't hear much at all.  My experience with Magnaflows is that they sound better with time- get a little louder/more character.  We will see.  Maybe a more aggressive muffler in the future for me if not...  

The shop said it was model #11289 but I can't confirm that anywhere.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.
