I've been thinking of doing this for a good while now. When I saw another member with a black truck with similar lights to these, I knew I had to get it done. How did you cut into the bumper?

Grinder with a metal cutting disk. I was a little skeptical cus I know when metal heats up it changes color but it didn't happen on the bumper.

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.

Yes they are, OEM came installed on the truck when purchased new

I wonder who makes those for Chevy? Surely they can be found cheaper somewhere else.

Yes ,those are the GM 22" SEZ accessory wheels.

My dealer told me that the plant that makes the oem Denali 20" chrome wheels blew up back in October of 2014 in China killing 60 people...

Gmc is not getting them till they can get another plant to make them, So the new Denali's are showing up with aluminim 20's and you get a $400 discount for not getting the chrome 20's. But we made a deal, I traded those stock tires/wheels, plus 2G to upgrade to the GM SEZ 22's. Then they had to reprogram the truck 1 1/2 hours of labor so the sensors in the different wheels would jive with all the computers controls..

They are major bling and probably ride a bit rougher than with the 20's, but with 2015 Denali came stock with the new magnetic ride control suspension, which make it still ride like a huge old Cadillac-Smooth!....

How many cans of plasti dip did it take to do your running boards?

 

And how much did it cost to get your handles and mirrors color matched??? My local body shop quoted me $277 to do my handles and body molding pieces

Put about 540 miles in 2 days time on the truck. She sittn at 97xx miles now. Almost to that 5 digit mark!! Wouldn't doubt if I hit it before the end of the week as much as I drive this truck, and it only gets better with time!

 

Just did the math and with the miles I have on it and the days I've had it, I have averaged a hair under 86 miles/ day. That's a good bit

I'm at about 10,600 on mine now but I'ave had it for 11 months now. I put 400 miles on it in one day not long after I got it when I did a day trip to the beach and 100 of those was just driving around at the beach. I also did a 2nd trip later that summer. I drove the hell out of mine during the summer, but since it started to get cold I haven't driven around as much. And now working 6 days a week I don't really have time to drive a lot since on Sunday I want to just sit at the house watching NASCAR lol.

      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.
