First pics are in Sunshine on the Parks highway, the next ones are just off the Johansen in Fairbanks. I used to live in Fairbanks and am very familiar with the highways up there, beautiful country.

Yep, stopped at Subway in Sunshine for lunch on the way home from Anchorage... Saved about $10k on a new truck over Fairbanks, definitely worth a day's drive.

2016 Custom 2wd with the 5.3. K&N cold air intake system, Borla ProXS catback exhaust system, Bilstein 5100's all the way around with adjustables set to highest setting on front. Procomp 20x9.5 wheels with 33" Cooper Discover ATX. Once the tax return gets here I'm getting Katzkin leather interior installed with black leather and matching red stitching! Hey for 26k brand new, I can't complain! Upgrades are the fun part! Oh and a custom tune will be in line as soon as I pass 60k miles. Any other recommendations will be welcomed!767b2bc8a5992e9ecb222949ccf2241d.jpg

Made a huge mistake buying my '17 Sierra Double Cab. Needed the 6.5 bed and figured I'd compromise on cab size to save a few bucks. After close to a year of remorse my dealer gave me a great opportunity to go back in time and buy what I should have from the start!

Just finished a Belltech 2/4 drop which is max on a 4WD.  It was more work then I thought but I love the way it came out. GM 22” Snowflake wheels with Toyo Proxes II tires and I used 1” wheel spacers to get the stance I was looking for.

Hard to tell by picture , is it a crew cab with the 6.5 ? or the 5.9 bed ? my dog loves the double cab, my family, not so much !

LWB - crew cab with a 6.5. Same configuration as my 2014 was and all I'll ever buy from here on out!

MY life sucks Only kidding , that was the setup I went out to get  but there were not any for 200 miles when I was looking also wished I got it with the 6.2  but thought I would save on fuel  only to find out both these motors are almost the same on MPG , 

Good luck with your new ride !

Yeah it's surprising how rare they are, I'd say less than 1 in 10. I was strongly considering going to a 2500HD just because it's so much easier to find the crew cab + regular box.

    • 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. 
    • 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.
