A Simple beautiful truck. Are you running a lift or just level? What size wheels/tires, did you need to do any trimming?

 

Thanks

Jeff

Sorry about the delay Jeff! 6" Rancho Suspension. 18x9" LRG 102 wheels with 0 offset and 5" backspacing. Nitto Trail Grappler M/T 35x12.50r18. No trimming required, but I did by preference.

Here's an update from a few weeks ago. Doing a little scouting for my upcoming deer hunt!

I love the way your truck sits, what size tires do you have? Also is it just leveled or more?

You guys keep posting these pictures of the new trucks. Going to cause problems with my wife because it makes me want to go to the dealership and get one for myself.

 

I actually came up with a plan I think may work, put a lot of thought into it.

I think I can pull it off by renting a garage space to keep the new truck parked. That way everything will appear normal and I don't ever have to bring it home to my garage, so she would never see it.

 

I will not trade because that would be an obvious giveaway so I have to keep both my 08 & 10. Instead of paying for it, (she would definitely notice that money gone from checking account) I can get a loan and make monthly payments.

When I want to drive the new truck, I can just drive to where it's stored and switch vehicles and then do the same before I come home.

Since all of my vehicles are paid for, I can drop to lower insurance coverage on my vehicles and not change hers.

Dropping coverage levels and adding full coverage for a new financed vehicle would only raise the cost $35.00 from where it is now. Since I handle the insurance bill, she would not see that either.

 

I really think I may be able to pull this off! Have to talk to her first and see how she feels about another truck, the above is my back up plan.

Seems like a lot of work just to get a new truck. If yours are all paid off, why not just trade one in and call it good. Plus I think your marriage might last longer if you don't keep this from her.

I must agree, keeping a brand new truck from your wife seems like a bit more trouble than it's worth. Also, seems like a big thing to have to hide. She might wonder what else you might be hiding if she ever found out you hid a truck from her.

    • 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.
