In my opinion no but I never tried a tuner first which would have adjusted my settings. I went on forums and listened to people who said regear or your truck is not going to last long. I talked a gm mechanic friend who told me dont do it but it was to late. Look at it like this $400 for a tune which you can easily take everything off your truck without any worries versus $4500 and you changed the mechanics of the truck which it will be harder to go back stock due to the higher gear ratio. Im no expert just trying to pass my experience along to others. At the end of the day its your truck your money

You paid $4500 to have your truck regeared!?

Brother you realize you have to get it tuned.. your truck still thinks it has the old gears and original tires on it! Lol I’m sure that like me you felt no difference what so ever with just adding the gears.. if anything it lags more.. you computer has to be told it can work better now because there is different equipment.. without a tune your transmission is technically miss-shifting and your losing power. I’m going through the tuning process right now with a custom Lew tune and a diablo tuner.. aaaand you’re not going to grenade your tranny now either so that’s a BIG plus! Lol I’m on 6’s & 7’s too just an inch or two higher.. you will not feel or see any difference till you get it tuned.. my boy has same truck, same wheel/tire size and same mods (regear, intake and cat back) but he has had it tuned and it is night and day driving his truck vs mine.

What gears did u get installed? I do mainly highway but it’s usually stop and going (rush hour sucks in Dallas-Fort)

I do a lot of highway and in town so I got 4:56s.. that and my gear guy is extremely picky about the gears he uses because everything he does is lifetime warranty and the only company that offers 4:88 he’s not a big fan of

I installed the Diablo can tune and that did almost nothing at all either I really think the custom tune is where it is at.. Lew takes a data log of 150 miles traveled and custom tunes your engine and transmission to its peak parameters.. that’s what my boy Chris had done and his throttle response alone feels way better than the Pedal Commander that I had in my truck before. So you’re at 11” lift all around now?

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      New tires are on, Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail AT's in 235/75/15. $100 per tire, after $10 AAA discount. Plus install ($100), disposal fees, and taxes.   The new tires ride nice. Catch 22, new tires, I love it again! But I feel like I've been through the wringer with this rig, and maybe I don't need this kind of headache right now. Wait until tomorrow, I'll probably love it again and keep it another week.   Never a dull moment: Got a CEL driving to the tire shop, P0172 bank 1 too rich. Oh lordy, really? I've been enjoying an emoji-free dash for too long, apparently. I popped the hood at the shop and I think there was a vacuum leak very close to the intake. Cleared the code and put a bunch of miles on it going home, code never returned. My fix was zip-tying the line on the vacuum reserve ball because the hose won't stay seated. It's either that or the fuel pressure regulator has an issue again or an injector is leaking. See why I'm getting tired of this one?!   In the gas price thread I recorded 19mpg on the last tank in fairly mixed driving and some higher-speed highway (70). I also don't have the lower engine shield installed right now, and that would help with diverting a lot of wind underneath the truck.   Not too long ago, a green '96 4-door 4x4 came up for sale with less than 1,000 actual miles. There was a story there but it was real, and the place wanted like $25k for it. Would be fun to have a NICE example of one of these, but not too nice. The joy is driving them.   That's it for a while...family and social stuff all weekend, no time to play with my Hot Wheels in the garage for the next couple of days.

      $5.19 after Kroger discount for 87 today. Moses!   Somehow I've already put 560 miles on the Blazer with the last tank clocking 19mpg.

      Oil dipstick

      By Stu Katz · Posted

      I have a 91 GMC SIERRA 1500 4.3 liter. My dipstick broke. Can someone tell me how long is the oil dipstick. Local Part stores do not stock the oil dipstick. If someone can tell me the length. I can match up an aftermarket one. Thank you.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Assembling a Word Puzzle   A sentence in a famous sermon says:    “Happy are those conscious of their spiritual need, since the Kingdom of the heavens belongs to them".   Forget it was a sermon and forget its religious nature. Assemble the puzzle. What did he say? I'm only going to unravel the part underlined.... Keep it simple and out of the ditch. It's a word puzzle not a religious class. I'm not writing a book. Okay..   By saying that people conscious of that stated need will receive; the implication is that there are also people that are not conscious and thus deprived.   But this one sentence also says that ALL people have this need, not just the ones aware of it.   NEED will try to lead you to satisfying it. You're thirsty, you seek water. You're hungry, you seek nourishment. You're cold, you find cover. Lack of awareness is a choice. So when he says "conscious' he isn't saying simply aware but aware and active in satisfying that need.    That's allot of information for eight words. This man knew how to craft a sentence...   Give that some thought the next time you read an advertisement or a book.

      Gas fill door

      By snowblind · Posted

      My gas fill door does not stay closed. Not sure what happened, but it works its way to about a inch open every trip. Need a fix to this. 2020 Silverado 1500.
