Replaced my fuel injection spider yesterday. I didn't necessarily have a problem with the old one other than a slightly rough idle, but I wanted to upgrade to the new style. When I pulled the old one out, I noticed that the previous owner (couldn't be the factory, I hope) had switched #5 and #6 injectors. It idles much more smoothly now.

The slightly rough idle describes my Blazer right now. I don't get a CEL. How long did it take to replace it?

I was into it about four hours, working at a leisurely pace. Not a difficult job at all, but it takes a little while. I drained the coolant so I could get the thermostat housing out of the way, but you could possibly get by without.

Too bad they didn't have a version with White-Walls you could have installed.

I think that all BFG AT's have white lettering on one side? It's just user preference as to which side you have face out.

Yesterday I decided to check my front brake rotors. Sure enough, they are worn enough that not even a resurfacing is appropriate. Because I tow up and, more importantly, down big hills I'm getting some slotted, cryo-treated rotors with pads engineered for SUVS and towing. This purchase was after A LOT of research.
