Nice job and upgrades. Are you happy with the new LS1 injectors? Curious whether they have same flow rate specs as the original OEMs?

Good looking truck. Those tires are pretty decent. I work in a fleet shop and I just made the swap to these from the Firestone AT2 tires (which are flimsy / horrible tires) to Falkens. For a heavier and definitely stronger tire they sure balance out well and with not a whole lot of weight.I bought this Suburban from my Dad a couple years back (Nov '19), and I'm finally getting around to showing it some love.
My pops lives in NC and I'm in CO, so we met 'half-way' in Omaha, NE to exchange. It was a wild ride heading back home between the heavy winds and sloppy rag joint, but it pulled just fine.

The tires that were on the 'Burb were pretty horrible. The well worn MTs were incredibly loud, and you could feel each lug under 20mph.
While the OEM wheels are cool, I immediately dropped those in favor of some PYOs. I am a big fan of Wildpeak AT3W tires... these are 265/75-16s:

Shortly after, I installed 2" Stahl steel spacers at the rear:

What's interesting is this is a brand new Delphi EGR. I wasn't having EGR problems before, but figured a 20+ year old EGR might be due for replacement. After driving a bit longer, I'm now seeing a P0401 and P0405 EGR code, taking about 10 miles for the codes to produce. Watching the EGR voltage and duty, it seems that the EGR likes to work sometimes, other times not. Need to get the multimeter out and do some testing... but I'm certainly not opposed to an EGR delete if this keeps giving me hell.I had a P0401 in my flipper dually, a junkyard EGR valve was the fix there. All the plumbing was free and clear and watch out because the small block valves are a different size.
I've had these Falken AT3Ws on three different vehicles and they're one of the best tires for my purposes. They are quiet, and wear pretty damn well too... I saw 50k out of a set with lots of offroading. Unfortunately, the word seemed to have gotten out a couple years back, and the prices skyrocketed. I just replaced a set of Falkens with the Goodyear Ultraterrains, and they're pretty comparable to the Falkens so far. Time will tell how they wear.Good looking truck. Those tires are pretty decent.
