They are running the stock 4.56's some have the stock 32 inch tire, others are running 33's, 35's, even did one that had 37's.
My truck is running 305/70/16 33/11.5/16
I have only done one blazer cucv and he had the stock 3.08, with 33's. Was really lugging the engine in overdrive, but he...
An early 3-4 shift could be several things, one could be TV cable needs to come out 1 or 2 more clicks. Not only does the TV cable control line pressure, but it does play a small part in shift timing, vs throttle, vs governor. TV cable adjustments are a trial and error, move it one or two...
Either remove some of the shims, or purchase the trans-go "bang shift" eliminator kit. It comes with several different springs to choose from that go into the valve body to stop that 1-2 bang shift.

There are several options for the TC lock-up. I prefer the bowtie overdrive version. it locks up in 4th automatically, and it comes with a switch so you can lock it up in 2nd, or 3rd. Really helps when towing. There is a relay installed on the brake switch so when the brakes are applied it...
