Where u get your headlights? And did you get spot or flood led flush lights ? For your fog lights I'm gonna do that but no sure if I should get flood or spot

Headlights from autopartswarehouse.com, fog lights are flood and behind the fogs there's a trim piece from rigid to make them more straight and not have the big bumper curve.

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.

Well I was going to get my front 2 windows tinted to match the rears (don't want them as dark as my old truck) and do the windshield brow. Was also thinking about Husky Liner X-act floor mats, but got my registration and property tax I have to pay on the truck annually is making me postpone those 2 things. Oh well lol.

Today, I used some smoke vinyl wrap to smoke the ambers on the tow mirrors and waxed the mirror caps to help make them shine [emoji106]

(I promise the vinyl looks a lot better in person)

 

Recently (since I haven't posted what I've been doing in this thread for a while haha)

I went ahead and plastidipped my mirror caps, got some cheap chrome handle covers off Ebay, colormatched and installed (including tailgate handle), took off the door moldings, had to tighten the exhaust tip a few times since its been coming loose for some reason and rattles like there's no tomorrow, and managed to crack the convex mirror on my driver side mirror. I tried to disassemble the mirrors the proper way which is to remove he glass mirrors and then you can access screws to continue disassembling the rest of the mirror cause I was gonna get the ambers smoked professionally but I already said how well that turned out for me and is why I went the vinyl route since It didn't require me to disassemble.

I'm considering going back to the original chrome handles.

I love your tow mirrors, I'm jelly. You should get flush mount reverse lights for your bumper, it will look better.

Thanks man, I'm really liking how they are came out and I originally wanted to do flush mounts but then I have some problems with the obvious requirements, cutting a hole in the bumper since it's not reversible, flush mount pods can't be aimed, and well, I already had these pods so I don't feel like having to buy more lol. And if I did get some it'd be some driving pattern lights

I really want to go ahead and get a bed mount rack that can hold a 50" bar. Preferably curved. That way I can add light out front but not have it above the windshield and avoid glare off the hood. Also no wind noise. If I do ever end up getting the rack, I'd move the pods up there. Maybe even change it out for a 30" or 40" bar mounted unside down on the rack. May even have to get a decal that says "I dare you to tailgate me"

Did you have to trim the studs when you put the 1.5" wheel spacers on?

Was it DOA or die out rather quickly?

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      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.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      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.
