Traded in my 2012 F-150 ecoboost with its second motor in it. (First one grenaded, rod through the side of the block.)

 

Just picked up 2017 GMC Sierra Denali Ultimate a week ago.

 

Current mods:

•full tints

•Led reverse & license plate lights

•diode mod so fogs are on with high beams

•truck cap

•exhaust (let me know what you think)

•upgraded my DL3 power fold "small" mirrors to DQS power fold tow mirrors

•diode mod so the mirror reverse flood lights come on when shifted into reverse

•K&N Cold air intake

• blacked out front and rear emblem

 

Exhaust clip:

Thank you !!

 

Not including any time (of which there is some needed lol) approx $1100 USD. (The prices here in Canada are pretty insane unfortunately, that price was "dealer cost" .... retail was $1750 USD approx)

You can do it a fair bit cheaper if you pickup some aftermarket knockoffs 1A Auto has some that get reviewed well !! And then talk to @Pgamboa , he will make you up some custom upgrade harnesses or sell you the kit and instructions to update your current harnesses.

 

That would end up costing approx $700-800 all in I think.

Did you remove the lower valance / air dam ?

Yes. Took all of it off and added some tube work and a skid plate. Between that and the 2" level, I gained 9" of clearance.

Found this new '16 6.2 in Alabama. Brought it home yesterday.

Sharp truck. My second favorite color on the new trucks.

Figured I'd post a few recent goodbye pics after 31k mostly trouble free miles. Mainly the heated/cooled seats a few times, but it wasn't a big issue overall. It's been a great truck, and I've liked it so much I decided on pretty much the exact same 17 model. I would have kept this one a while longer but my local dealer made me a deal I honestly couldn't refuse.

 

No mods other than 16k miles on stock sized Toyo Open Country AT2s. Mileage with the AT2s over that time was 15.2. Stock at 15k miles was 16.3 and dropped to 15.9 overall, but the first 15k miles was on stock 18's. I do use remote start a lot though.

    • 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.
