Thanks.....I know some people like the "clean" look, but I like it to stand out a little from the others. I design, cut and apply the graphics myself. I am a tech teacher and have a 15" (hobby size) vinyl cutter in my classroom.

Oh yeah Right on ! I own a screen printing, embroidery, large format digital graphics company and do a lot of custom stuff to my truck. Really turns heads because it si one of a kind or something original I designed. If you ever need any help with anything, hit me up I’ll be glad to help. Check out my build page you can see what i have done.

I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

Ok so I didn't like the stock huge z71 sticker on my truck but I did want my truck to say z71 somewhere. Here's what I came up with. ...

What do y'all think? Personally I like it.

In my opinion….. no! Truthfully dude, my first impression …and with absolutely NO insult intended… for my taste, it looks ghetto.

I do custom graphics and if you want to do something custom hit me up and I will take care of it for you at my cost…CHEAP. ANYTHING you can think of pretty much. You have such a nice ride I hate to see people get that impression. You know, like when you see a car go by that has a crapload of those fake vent add ons stuck all over it that they bought at Wally world!!!

So that's before and after.... If you think replacing a cheap vinyl emblem with a laser cut OEM emblem is ghetto then you probably have never been to the ghetto. I removed the original emblem to get away from the cheap vinyl look.

 

Also the new emblem is even smaller then the original... Definitely not a crapload of fake add ons.

 

As ESPN would say ... COME ON MAN!!! Haha.

 

Long story short we will have to agree to disagree.

Well, I knew i never should have posted that, and that is why I made sure to mention that in no way was I trying to insult you. If you like it that's all that counts. Everybody has different tastes. Personally The first thing I do when I get a new truck is take ALL of the stickers off and de-badge it as well. The Z71 emblem in the grille is enough for me. I know it's a Z71 and 4X4 and don't care if everyone else on the road does!.

 

Sorry if it cam e off the wrong way and I was trying to avoid that in the first place. It's a nice rig and if you like it that's all that counts. Hell, i got ripped for putting Rally Stripes on mine!!

 

As far as the ghetto, I drive through it at least 4 times a day!!!

 

Stay cool, truck looks nice…….. we don't have to disagree….. I'm on your team!!!

 

Cheers!

Nice. Did you request it? Looks like it may be something I'm probably missing also. Where does it connect?

Under the dash, probably by the driver's left foot. If there is a junction box there, that is here it goes

My truck on the upper dash to he left of the steering wheel there is a lever to pinch together to adjust the trailer brake I think. Might I need one of these also?

No, these are for the trucks without the OEM controller so you can add an aftermarket one

Got my dash cam installed, but I still need figure out how to remove the headliner glass storage console trim and find a circuit to tap off of to get rid of the hanging wire that's now plugged into a power port below. Wouldn't it be nice if one of those many power ports were installed up there to begin with? :banghead:

I put rear headrest monitors in tonight, two Concept CLD-700`s from Amazon.com. Black matches the interior perfectly pretty simple install. Both can play their own DVD but are also linked to share the same disk.

      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

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      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.
