Nothing crazy, but I did install the AVS window vent shades. Stopped in at Autozone for a receiver/hitch lock and sale they were on sale for $44 bucks. Figured, why not, they have them in stock so I bought them. These are not the in channel ones, but the ones that go on top.

There was another member that wasn't able to get the RC UCAs to fit correctly and had to purchase a different brand. Did you do the install yourself? Maybe RC updated their design.

 

Yea i did the entire install myself, control arms were very easy to install, they slid right in. Directions did say trimming may be required but I didnt have to do anything. Alignment shop had no problems getting it staight also.

Installed a Diablo inTune. I have a full tank of 87 octane so I just put in the 87 octane tune. After this tank I'm putting 93 octane in and installing the 93 octane tune. I did mess with the trans settings a bit. I don't quite have it the way I want yet, but haven't had much time to mess with it. Overall I'm very happy with how much better it behaves. I got the pkg deal from Lou and after spring rolls around and all the winter additives are out of the local gas I will have Lou work the 93 tune and whatever else he can make better.

installed a leveling kit few days ago thinking about taking the SIERRA and SLE off the tailgate or blacking all the emblems out with plasti dip I keep going back and forth. here within a few weeks will add window strip and some terra grappler g2s the 33's and I think I'll be satisfied for a while

I pulled them emblems off mine and love it. Cleans up the gate a bit and is perfect to just leave the GMC IMO. I personally am not a fan of a completely debadged gate but a clean gate I do like.

Just get a custom tune from Lew right now. He gives you free tune upgrades for a year.

    • 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.
