So I'm trying to order a custom pair of wheel spacers - 6mm/ 0.25" 78.1mm hub centric to 78.1mm wheel centric. The vendors argument is that 6mm is too thin and recommends 10mm, I spoke to another OP here that ordered a set from the same vendor I'm using with the same spec except that his new wheel bore size is 106. My only issue is that I think the 10mm will make it stick farther in front to notice that the front wheels poke more. Vendor says he can make them at 6mm but if it doesnt fit then I wouldn't be able to return and there pricey for a pair delivered at $100. Does anyone know how far the T1 factory hub sticks out to confirm this ?

Pulled the trigger and went with 10mm and instead of just placing them on the front, I was afraid that it might noticeably stick out farther than the rear so I ordered 4. My new concern is, I want to do this right and replace the wheel studs with longer ones to compensate the spacers but I found no details on extended lug nuts for these trucks. Vendor claims that running 10mm is fine on the factory studs and is long enough to handle. This is supposedly common issue with T1 owners and is his solution to fitting aftermarket wheels other than running adapters. Has anyone ran 10mm with no issues and does anyone know were I can get extended wheel studs ?

First off, what is it you are trying to do and why are you wanting spacers? What wheel are you running and what's the bore of the wheel?

I got a set of factory reproduction 24s and the shop who installed them used a 6mm non hub centric spacer to clear the calipers. I plan to swap it with hub and wheel centric spacers. Bore size is 78.1.

Dorman is one of the largest lug suppliers to auto manufacturers.  They have all sorts of info, but you gotta have access to their catalog.  It's been over a decade since I've looked this info up on GM trucks since I installed spacers on my 2007 Tahoe.  There is a possibility that a longer lug may not be available, especially this early in the game.

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      Yea a fluid change is in order here. Honestly, your transmission didn’t even get hot. During the summer in stop and go traffic I’ve seen my 8l80 get up to 216 and it was still shifting smoothly.

      I'd change the fluid and start there.   198F is nothing for the 8L90.  They typically operate 180-200F stock.

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      Looking for help!   2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 5.3l 4x4 8l90 61k miles - truck is in Arizona, was over 110 outside on Monday when this whole situation transpired. Never had any major issues with transmission until this point:   Truck sat outside my construction office for approx 1 hour idling before I realized, ran around the job site wrapping some things up for the day and then left. Went to get food and sat in the drive through for approx 30 minutes idling. As soon as I pull out of the drive through and onto the main road, rear tires lock up and feels like transmission fell out of the truck. Shifted to park, shut the truck off and tried again, same thing happened. Was able to reverse into parking lot (truck slammed into reverse). Let the truck sit turned off for 10 minutes before trying again, but it continued to happen. Towed truck back to my house. Highest the trans temps reached was 198.   Friday, after work I start looking into the situation. Truck sat in my driveway untouched all week. Truck is now driving like normal, transmission doesn’t get over 185 degrees when trying to heat it up. Got up to 60 multiples times with no issues, no issues accelerating, only down shifted hard into first one time at 185 degrees. Does anyone have any insight? Never through a code or a check engine light. Truck has never been used to tow either. No transmission services at this point.

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

      Atlas won.   I know better, but I did it anyway. I took a compressed air line with a chuck and rubber tip and jammed it in the open EGR port. The port was clear as far as I could see, and as far as I could poke with a flexible wire, but that doesn't mean it's not clogged.   Compressed air blew back at me along with a cloud of black. Oops. I didn't have the rubber tip seated in there all the way. Jammed it up in there some more and squeezed the chuck. PSI was set to 120. Poof! It blew back at me again. Third time...pfffffttssssssspffffffsssfffffff, face full of carbon, and then, kind of a thud..and the air stopped spraying back at me. It was now exiting the exhaust with a low shhhhhh sound as it flowed through the pipe. Something broke free. I pressurized the port again, and air flowed.   Made my day.   Long story short on this problem, it's fixed. Something was really blocking the EGR passages down low, and compressed air blew it apart. I don't recommend this as who knows what debris was sent where. But it's allowed me to move forward, mentally, and onto the next problems I need to get this little S-Blazer going down the road properly again.
