ehypury7.jpgMy v6 doing some work. Weight distribution hitch works great. Pulling 1500lb trailer with 1140lbs of cement, 1 yard of sand and 1/2 yard p gravle. On the bed I got the generator and 80 gallons of water.

Got my dealer to fix those back lit knobs that GM refuses to fix. Happy with my dealership. Also fixed the "seat movement" in my cc.

 

Are the HVAC knobs supposed to light up too? Thank you for the picture. I did a lot of fighting with the dealer they convinced me only the 4wd and headlight knobs are supposed to illuminate.

No they are not, it's just the radio knobs and the one in the center for the hvac. The two temperature knobs don't light up.

Finally figured it how to post a picture on my phone, to here. Added red clearance/accent LEDs. Right under the tailgate.

Got any pictures from a bit further out? Such as it shows more of the seat? You have me wanting to do this now just cause I also have a black interior. Looks great!

I got the idea off when I owned a camaro some of the guys on the camaro forum did it. They said it lasted a while. I know one guy had his on for 2 years and it wasn't as bright as it was new but he just went over it again and looked the same as day 1. I never got the chance to try it on the camaro since I had cloth seats, didn't wanna risk it. But leather it's easy. Just go over the stitch 2-3 times, let it sit for a min or two then wipe with a damp rag to get the excess of the leather. Took me about 2 hours to do the whole truck.

You could always test it on a portion of the cloth seat that isn't easily seen. Then be sure to report back so the rest of us cloth seat guys know whether to do it or not ;)

Installed the Autonet Mobile WiFi unit. Easy to install, works perfect.

    • 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.    
    • I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
