Thanks for all of the great ideas guys! :(

 

Got the tires put on today and I love the white letters and the tires in general! They're forecasting snow here tomorrow too! So I may get to try them in a bit of snow sooner then I thought! I'll post some pictures of the tires when I can get a chance over the weekend in daylight for anyone who wants to see them.

 

The warranty covers 24/7 road side assistance for flat tires and if I go off roading and get stuck they will even cover the cost of a tow truck to pull me out! :D

Another vote for Wesley's Bleach White. Post some pictures of those tires on 18's if you can. My dad is in need of new tires on his Z71 and I mentioned to look into the Silent Armors.

I hope to do that tomorrow if it's nice out. Basically since having them put on the other day I basically go to work as it's getting light and come home in the dark. :nopity: I've only seen them in the light once myself. :cheers:

This is what I meant. Couldn't remember exactly what it was called.

It's made for the white walls but works great on the White Letters also.

 

 

+1000 This stuff is great. I use it all the time. I am always amazed at all the grease and grime that come off my blackwalls.

Those look great on the 18's! I appreciate the photos. Have to forward them onto my fahter, tell him to pull the trigger when need be.

Wstley's Bleche-white

 

Just don't get it on the rims, it will eat clear coat off of rims. I use it myself, it even gets road tar off.

Here is a simple trick to try. Use any whitewall cleaner you like to use (use bleach-white myself), but instead of using a brush or SOS Pad, use 320-400 grit WET sandpaper. The black stuff.

Again, this is only to clean raised white letters or a white wall itself.

Been doing this over 30 years now, and found nothing out there that gets them whiter. Here is a youtube video my son and I made a couple years back that kind of explains everything. Have fun with it!

    • Google converting 98 4.3 spider injection to carburetor if all else fails. 
    • My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.  
    • The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.    
    • I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
