my cousin and I where headed out hunting last November (he was driving) and we came upon a jeep that burried itself in the snow on the side of the road. another jeep was there trying helplessly to get him out. without missing a beat my cousin looked at me and said "it's ok, it's a jeep thing" to whi...

Dayton Timberland MT's are a great looking tire and hard to beat for their price. If you don't want to go that aggressive, look at the AT model. It's the same tire as the highly rated Firestone Destination MT and AT lineup, but cheaper because of the Dayton name on it. How many miles have you gotte...

thanks for the kind words :oops: making me blush, lol I wheeled my truck about 2-4 times a month. I never ran it in/on the rocks, always in the mud. that truck, and those tires, loved the mud. It was always sweet when you rolled out and got back on pavement...you could hear the gentle clunk, clunk, ...

Truck looks good, I'm not big on the rims, something just seems off to me. but that's why they make all different styles :D I've got a set of chrome 20's with 33" AT's for the silverado that I'm trying to sell. If I can't sell them, they're going on once spring comes (if it ever will in Michigan), lol

bwenny247

Had my BDS lift on the truck for about a little over a year before I sold mine. Never had any issues with it, or the front end. (I did replace the front wheel bearings, but that's what you get for 33X12.50 MT's) The only reason I sold it was because I had to do my student teaching. 4 months without ...

superlift 6", hypertech, 32" tires, new rims, ect... ect.. ect.. All to traid it in. :cry: If i were to do it again trim the panels and paint, :D go with a 33x10.50-15 on my stock wheels and call it a day. I'll echo some of that, although I loved my lift. Wish I would have gone with stock rims and ...

what years did you live in Manton, my dad's side of the family grew up there. Know any Dontje's? that's us!! lol, small world

bwenny247

hey what part of Michigan are you from? I'm from Cadillac. Nice looking truck and project car you've got there. you'll find a wealth of knowledge here and friendly folks ready to help.

Welcome and enjoy your stay

bwenny247

glad to see someone getting use of my old rims

your truck looks real nice. did you raise the rear hitch yet? I can't tell from the pics.

bwenny247

howdy from Cadillac, MI.

my fiance just graduated from MSU and I'll most likely be moving to Lansing next year. That's a good looking blaZR you have there. Take care of it, you know what Michigan Winters will do! Nice to have you on here...sometimes I get lonely in the Mitten, lol!

bwenny247

so, this thread has been going on for 8 months....have you decided what you're doing yet?

bwenny247

I'll echo my previous post.

find the biggest magnaflow muffler that you can fit. they're straight through, you can't get much more free flowing than that. the internal packing keeps the noise down to a stock, or nearly stock, level.

I had 3.42's with 33X12.50 mud terrains. I did a lot to enhance power, and I never felt underpowered when accellerating. the truck always pulled hard. millage was respectable for a lifted truck with 33's. as low as 12/13 MPG in the winter city driving, and as high as 19 MPG.....once, lol!

LTFTs are a way to view how rich or lean your engine is running. Just being able to read them or view them won't do you any good without a way to tune them. You change them by increasing or decreasing the injection slope % I've been reading a lot over at DiabloSport.com and I'll admit I am still new...

might not be possible, but if you can, slow down 5-10 MPH if you're on the freeway/interstate. Aerodynamics take over a great deal whenever you get over 60 MPH.

ok i got straight pipes today :evil: i had a flowmaster and its actually a deeper tone with the straight pipes but once u get over 3000rpm it starts to souund like a v6......but i actualy gained power.... my 0 to 60 time was faster that it was with the flowmaster.... but it isnt as loud as i though...

Single exhaust keep it close to stock or 2.5" at biggest, duals DON'T go bigger than 2.5" and you'll be fine. If you go bigger than 2.5" duals you WILL lose low-end grunt.

Don't forget that exhaust clip!

bwenny247

didn't touch the converters, almost everyone runs straights up here. no emmisions checks and rarely enforced sound laws. if you do like i did and cut out the stock muffler and weld in a pipe I call it the "20 bucks and 20 minute" performance exhaust. when you start it up for the first time I know yo...

bwenny247

yep always had straight piped the truck...drove it off the lot, across the road to a mom and pops muffler shop, had them cut the muffler out and weld in a pipe. the stock pipe is small enough that you don't lose low-end grunt. but it will flow WAY more than the factory muffler. I could turn over my ...

gas jumped to $3.90 here last night. I just filled up tuesday night for $3.63. a 27 cent jump overnight!

Think I outa use my "stimulas" money to buy a bike....maybe something cool with a bannana seat or a card in the spokes

bwenny247

you'll love those timberland MT's

that's an aggressive tire and has a long tread life.

they're basicly the exact same tire as the highly rated firestone destination, just cheaper.

look forward to seeing some pics

bwenny247

old post, but i finally got a exhaust clip of my truck.

my dream truck will be coming out hopefully in the next couple years. the big 3 plan to debut smaller turbo diesel engines in their half-ton line up. I believe the Silverado will be getting a 4.5L Duramax that should have the same power output as the gas 5.3 but get into the low to mid 20 MPGs ........

bwenny247

forget the truck....are you alright? i sure hope so

bwenny247

I never could understand why the 4.3 gets such bad mileage. A v6 should always get better MPG than a v8 under normal conditions. My fullsize crew cab silverado with a 5.3L V8 and 4.10 gears can get 18-19 on the highway (60 mph) and around 16 on the freeway (72 mph). Heavier truck, bigger engine, low...

had the same thing happen to me when i had my lifted crew, my dad went in to update the family policy and mentioned to them that i had lifted my truck :bonk: they said how much, because they could still insure it if it was 2" or less. he told them like 6" and they said they could no longer insure me...

bwenny247

I'll say go for Magnaflow, get a 5"X11"X22" oval case muffler, if there's that much room. That's plenty of sound suppression and as free flowing as you can get. I just replaced my stock muffler on my silverado ( 5.3L V8 ) with that style and when idle or cruising down the road it sounds exactly the ...

bwenny247

There is a fairly built up SFAed ZR2 in my club and he complains of body damage, We share the same wheel base as an extended cab. I wheel a shorter wheel base with my XJ and it has taken some hits on areas like the rain gutters. That's why you play in the mud :D http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...

bwenny247

i vote for a magnaflow muffler, and have a muffler shop do the pipes. couple choices after that:

piped or just turned-down after the muffler
single or dual
duals: out the rear, out the corners
tip or no tip
stainless pipes or aluminized

cool mod, $160 sounds a lot better than $300 for a hypertech tuner. granted you don't have DTC code reading capabilities like the HPP would, but for keeping your tire size and gear ratio stock this sounds like a good way to go. does the truck feel more responsive? heck with a 1-2 mpg increase, that ...

bwenny247

if you're going without flares, you'll definitely want the bedliner on there. otherwise your paint is going to look sandblasted from the combination of wider/more aggressive tires and all the road debris those tires are going to throw at it. when i had mine done, i went with Herculiner and wasn't im...

bwenny247

the reasoning i don't think you're going to see a big MPG increase is this (and someone correct me if i'm wrong): 1. FIPK pulls in more air 2. MAF sensor does its job and registers the more air and sends a signal to your computer to add more fuel to the mixture for the burn cycle. more air and more ...

Watching your mpg drop while driving would teach you to drive conservatively that is true. both my grand prix and the new silverado have this digital read out. conciously or not, when you see that MPG drop after getting on it, you begin to drive more conservatively. it's also nice to see what MPG y...

I loved my BDS lift. the ride quality was similar, if not better, then the stock setup. i think this was because of the large side wall of my tires and the increased suspension travel.
