    How to determine stock size tire, will the vin help?

    How to determine stock size tire, will the vin help?

    Unfortunately my door sticker is gone. I was leaning toward the 245s due to the fact it's a 4x4 model. Actually been considering 215/85r16, same height as the 245/75r16 but not as wide. I figured these will help fuel mileage further. Will the vin number have tell size info?

    How do I run the stock wastegate on the HX35w on my 6.5?

    That's too bad sorry to hear that. A teds take out GEP motor would cost half that or less. At least you got a new rig under you and kept it chevy!
