Redhot,

 

That is the Gator FX3 tonneau cover. It is sweet. I like it because I can fold it a fourth time and lean it against the back window and have more bed access....it locks down tight...it is low profile and it was a breeze to install.

Hey guys I'm new. I've lurked here for a while and finally decided to upload some pictures of my truck when I first purchased her, back in August 2015.

2015 Silverado LTZ CC. I love my truck and other than just a few things, I can't complain. First Chevy or new chevy I have ever owned. I have an 85 C10 Long bed that I use for all the work so this for now gets to sit on the sidelines. To date I have leveled it, de-badged all but the rear Chevy emblem, tinted my tail lights and third brake lights. Put in LED Reverse lights and license plate lights from Diode Dynamics, Cooped 275/60R20 Tires ( 55s from the factory look too small ), and other than some plastic dip here and there that's all so far. Wheels and better tires eventually are what I want, along with the chrome GONE... Hate chrome. Anyways thanks for looking and reading!. I'll get some pics of how she sits right now.

 

welcome - good looking truck

It squat so bad because they put the entire load on the front of the trailer

center the wieght over the trailer axle and it will pull better down The hwy

 

Yeah I had them reposition it over the axles, the forklift was down and they had a new guy trying to load it with the walker stacker. It wasn't all over the place going down the highway but you knew that trailer was on there for sure.

Here's my 2015 Silverado LT1 4x4 5.3

 

So far it has a 2.5 level kit up front, 15% tint all the way around, OEM color match grille, HID headlights and fog lights, 3" cube leds mounted on brackets under hood hinge.

 

Coming soon

All terrian tires, black bow ties, blackbear tune, 30" light bar behind grille, color match headlight bezels.

So I saw you said you put hids in but I think you have the reflector housing, does the light get scattered everywhere and blind on coming drivers?

I not sure what you mean, but I don't have any problems with people flashing me or anything so I'd say no.

Oh okay that's good because hids are known for scattering the light in reflector housings because unlike projectors there is not a lense that focus the light beam and creates a good cutoff so the light someone times scatters. Would you be able to post a picture of the lights pointing on a wall from like 10-15ft away and what kit are the hids? Link?

I'm not home right now but I will do that for you when I get home. The hids are opt7 8k and the fog lights are the same but 6k. I know they're "cheap" but they work great and I've never had a problem with them and the light output is great.

My new 2015 1500...just added the tonneau cover and nerf bars...more stuff coming!

 

Anyone want to offer free advice to a new truck owner (meaning this is my first truck) on making it better for off road...i see a lot of pics on here

where the trucks are raised a few inches...I would like to get mine looking similar but dont want to void any warranties....and how about rims and tires...any good tires for the stock rims i have? Any suggestions on cat-back exhaust systems?

 

Better off road? First step ditch the side steps or return them.

 

Put a reasonable level and inch or so taller tire of the all terrain variety. Tons of choices out there from reasonable in price to expensive and aggressive to mild. Pick your poison, mamy are good. Check tire rack for reviews.

Sorry for the last response but I had to downsize the pictures to upload them. They are with both headlights and fog lights on, so here you go.

    • You could try a used 1, they used that engine in the Astro vans, Plenty of them in the boneyard. Look for a wrecked or rotted 1 so the chance that it was scrapped for that reason and not a mechanical issue will be greater
    • 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.
