Donut Size on S-10

When I had my son's truck on the lift at the muffler shop today (didn't buy yet) the guy was surprised that the spare tire donut was a 16" wheel while the truck (standard 2wd S-10) has 15" wheels.  I didn't measure the overall size of the donut, but I assume the donut has a lower profile and would have a larger wheel.  Does everyone else have 16" donut wheels or did GM stick the wrong one under our truck?

Greg, my 2wd S10 has the full sized spare option, so I have a 15 inch spare with a stock full size 205/75/R15 tire, the wheel is just the stock steel wheel rather than the aluminum wheels that come standard with an LS S10.  I have since moved my tire size up to 225/70/R15, but I just will keep the stock tire size for the spare for now.

I also want to ask, what kind of exhaust work are you thinking about having done, are you going to run duals on his truck?  What kinds of exhaust systems are you looking at?  I would be interested if you do buy an aftermarket exhaust for the S10 what kinds of improvements can be made.  I wonder how the sound will be, I do not want to make my 4.3 S10 sound "ricey" or something, I'd like to be heard a little more with a nice deep tone, but nothing obnoxious, I'd also be interested in any mpg gains with an aftermarket, have you found anything out about this on the 4.3?  Thanks, I did not say this in my last message, but putting a 16 inch rim for the spare has to be a mistake, it just seems wrong...

See my other thread about exhaust details - but I'm probably going with a FM40 Delta Flow.  I'm not sure whether it will be single or dual yet.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
