    What does everybody do with their oversized spare?

    We've all got lifted trucks here, what do you do with your spare tire? (if you have one) I've got a daily and I kinda want an accessible bed again. And a 35" tire takes up a lot of space. How does everybody mount their spares? Let's see some pictures!

    Hard Start & "Check Gauges" light

    Throttle blades?

    Does anyone know anything about the throttle blades on the vortec? The stock as a "baffle" I guess you could call it... and the aftermarket one doesn't. Any pros or cons to it? Besides more airflow. Link for clarification. http://www.cfm-tech.com/chevy-vortec.htm
