now i am planing on getting this lift kit http://roughcountry.com/chevy_4wd_99-06_6.html and it says that the recomended tire size is 35x12.5 and the rims that i have are 18x9 am i going to run into a problem with having a 9 insted of a 12.5 or is that a diffrent size that i just need to get the 12.5 tire on my 9? i am confused lol

 

the 12.5 is the width of the tire so the tire size would be 35x12.50r18 or something along those lines which means 35 in diameter 12.5 inches in width and a rim size of 18. The rim size of 18x9 is 18 inches in diameter 9 inches wide. As long as the tire you get is 35x12.50r18 or whatever the metric conversion to that is you will be a o.k. once you get that lift take some pictures because i pretty much have the same truck and am debating once i get the money to do that kit or the cognito 12 inch kit!!!! http://cognitomotorsports.com/store/page20.html

Yeah I'm in the same boat. The whole 'not working while spending money' deal gets old really quick... :lol: I want to be working, but between school, and recovering from knee surgery, it just ain't gonna work right now.. :lol: Hopefully during the spring semester my schedule will be less effed up. :thumbs:

yeah i need new shocks bad that is how i told the wife i might as well lift it beucase new shocks come in the kit :thumbs: wish brakes and rotors did too lol

 

im just throwing this out there...i messed up my stock rotors after i got the lift on my old truck and upgraded to slotted rotors....huge improvement on stopping power especially with the bigger tires....just something to think about if your upgrading them

lol I forget. The reason the rotors got messed up was there was something broken on the caliper so I had both calipers replaced, new pads, and slotted rotors for I believe around 700 bucks. At the time I had the cash and it was already apart so I just told the guy to do it...it was at firestone where I knew the guy so I don't think he was jerking me around and it all came with a lifetime warranty so to me it was like boo yeah....brakes for life yo!!! and none of it was oem either so i think it worked out nicely....dam i miss that truck :thumbs::lol::lol:

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      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."
