Installed some custom fit mudflaps on my AT4 today. First product I’ve ever bought In a long time that actually fit the first time. 
 

Also did my side exit exhaust too to go with the Magnaflow muffler. Excuse the dirty truck-it’s winter in the mountains. And the crooked photos. If someone wants to fix that go ahead!!06B24426-EF39-40D9-9715-2C1D551A3214.jpeg.756b344e79eea15df00ee3e4f72eaeb9.jpeg

Just picked up the Denali 2500 from Pittsburgh custom wraps. Had GSWF clear paint protection film applied to front bumper. Color matched Vinyl wrapped door handles, chrome trim on mirrors, front and rear logos, upper and lower front grille trims and fender badges. Chrome delete around driver and passenger side windows with matching black vinyl wrap. Working on removing side and rear chrome lettering. 3" superlift with
22" wheels should be done within next month hopefully. Looking at some performance/tuning mods in the future. Waiting to see what Banks will have to offer. 272cc076f9cddb9c8bc590dd321d0c46.jpg0ed8eab13ae5b587416966ed354e8f57.jpgfbe3c60d16e3312600b4522ab90348cb.jpg15a53f7666a9d29e50cd2864cda71fb7.jpg33e7f14ecbdbd769f11bf338f2750a81.jpgffb3ba00369f2bee60ecc1ed2de15fb2.jpgff201b5db3b0f70e541774b1547da885.jpg

Finished up the CST 4” lift over the weekend. A bit of a chore to get it done but love it and drives great. Took about 14 hours on and off with helpers. The cSt kit didn’t raise the rear enough with the 2” blocks so I will be raising it more with 3” blocks tomorrow. As it sits, the front is about 1” higher than the back. I have a heavy slide-out in the bed with tools so it drops it about 3/4”. The blocks will bring it back up.

Today I had new fuel sledge rims (20”x 9” 20mm offset) wrapped in 37”x12.5” BFG K02. Very minor rubbing on the front of the wheel well liners which I took care of with zip ties. The space between the mud flap and tire at full lock was a little tight so I heated them up and molded back a bit.

I’ll take more picks once I bring the rear up. I included one pic of the lift before the wheels yesterday in my shop.

looks awesome. How much cutting/drilling was there with the CST?

They don't have any instructions posted on their website.

 

Cognito has more cutting than I am willing to do.

Thank you. I had to cut the back passenger cross member about 1” off the front side. The back drivers cross member needed a little more taken out to clear the diff. I compared the cognito and CST and the CST was a lot less with regard to cutting. Only two holes on each side of the LCA had to be drilled. I can send you the CST instructions if you like.

Readylift 3/2 sst kit with fox shocks
fuel blitz 20x9 +20 offset
37x12.50 20 nitto ridge grappler

Initially it rubbed the front felt liner and mud flap in the rear. It does rub the frame rail at full lock. I removed the lower valence just because. I trimmed the mud flap and was able to bend the brackets in the front behind the felt liner enough to eliminate any rubbing.

I just put the 3” blocks in the back. Perfect ride height now.

Considering at the same kit. How does the truck ride compared to stock?

    • I'd change the fluid and start there.   198F is nothing for the 8L90.  They typically operate 180-200F stock.  
    • 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.
    • 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.  
    • Your truck lowered, looks good. I'm happy with the stance on this. I may need the extra ground clearance given my location/situation.
