Took the truck to the trusted repair facility and had the oil changed. Stopped by NAPA and picked up a new fuel filter.

If you had gone south into Florida it could have depending on what time of the year. I've seen worse too. That was just a quick google picture search. I think it's someone's rental from their vacation here in Orlando too lol

This is a great upgrade that you can do to your truck in just a few minutes. I have had allot of people ask me to repose this for others so here it is.
i hope this helps others or at last inspire people to do this project.

Did my annual oil change and grease job. Changed today 06/17/17. Last changed 06/12/16. 2768 miles on the oil. 62% left on the OLM. Also, finally got the Sumosprings installed on the back.

Cleaned the white one, and got the blue one home. The 91 has an exhaust leak I've gotta get fixed.

I still think the 800s were the last good trucks GM built, as far as reliability goes. :thumbs:

 

I got 222k miles out of my OEM universal joints on my '94 K1500. Sold it at 266k miles, still running like a top.]

 

Was on it's second engine, but I don't know what the previous owner did to cause that - OE engine croaked at 181k. Could've ran it out of oil or coolant - who knows.

 

If I make it 100k on my '07's engine, I'll be doing damn good. :shakehead:

 

 

 

Had to kick the Marquis out to get this tractor finished. That's the Silverado in the background, where she's been for the past month. :)

Reflowed a few solder joints, & replaced (and removed) a couple warning bulbs, and the 2 dead backlighting bulbs in the Volvo's instrument cluster. This is the way clusters SHOULD be built!! SIMPLE!

Then I had to drop $315 on a new computer board for my wheel balancer. Friggin electronics for ya. At least I got 6.5 years out of it ... I guess. :sick:

Have been contemplating something for the past few weeks and think I'm gonna go through with it. Probably be another few months but will be well worth it. Stay tuned!

Yesterday, I perfected a mod on a *NEW* Bully Hitch Cover Tail/Brake Light, that I had done on my original one, that I had since 2006 (or so). This mod will only work on the CR-007A model light!!! I took the tail light part of out and made it so that both the tail and the brake elements in the light bulb would shine when the brakes are applied, NO MORE TAIL LIGHT.

 

Inside the hitch cover, I cut the brown wire even with the opening on the back, where it slides into the receiver, and at the plug. Took blue splice, slid yellow wire in the assembly into the pass-through (open side) part of the splice, slid the brown wire up into the splice (“hinge side”), made sure that the yellow and brown wires were even from the splice to the light bulb housing, crimped the splice, and closed it. I have attached the link to my gallery, let me know if you can't access it.

    • Google converting 98 4.3 spider injection to carburetor if all else fails. 
    • That computer lies!
    • 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.
