What exactly did you do? I mean, it looks better and seems zoomed in further but the full picture is all here still. Just curious.

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.

Found an hour of free time yesterday and installed GM - Illuminated Door Sills. Love the way they look! Of course, made a how to video. The box didn't come with instructions and tried searching he

Honestly I didn't adjust size or anything pic as far as size wise goes. Just looks different since the image inside the quote is a bit smaller. Just ran it through light room and adjusted some sliders. Added a bit of exposure and contrast. Same with shadows and highlights.

Picked the truck up from the shop today - LineX bedliner, AMP steps, 6.5" zone lift, tint. I'll be swapping out the AMP leds with strips and doing true dual exhaust as a contiunuation of my resonator/flapper/muffler delete. I'm happy with the 285/65s on this setup. I think they look fine.

I don't see how yall are getting averages of 18+ mpg. Must really baby them things. Especially yall with the 6.2. Maybe it's because I tow a trailer almost daily and I run mine like it's a Corvette lol

I certainly put my foot in it on my 4.3 quite a bit, 4x4 with 3.42 gears and I get 19-20 mpg on suburban roads on summer gas, when I run winter mix in 2wd I get 17-18 and 14-16 with 4x4 high and auto engaged.

Did you go with the onboard compressor as well? Pics man, we need pics!

No didn't do the on board compressor (yet). Not much to show but here is one of them. The air nipple is my license plate holder now. Did them myself and am not a very technical person but figured it was worth a try and wasn't that bad. Model was 2430 and think it was about 280 from amazon. Should be able to put them to use when we leave for camping tomorrow!

The pic is not working for whatever reason. Another question I have is, do you always need to have at least 4-5 psi in them? I've always been told that with air bags you always need to have some air in them to keep them from rotting out/getting damaged, and even with that little amount of air in them they will still aversely affect ride quality. Not sure how true any of this is.

 

I don't tow enough to justify them, but if I ever went full leveling kit I would definitely invest in a set to keep it from going to a front end rake while loaded.

Pic should be fixed now. That was the reason I got them is because I got a level. When I moved my camper to get it ready for the weekend after the level I noticed the rear was lower than the front with the level. So airbags it was.

 

BTW It is correct you need a minimum of 5 psi from what a read.

Is that a 18" rim? You only stated 285/65r? But I agree that looks very good. I'm a tires don't need to stick out like training wheels kinda guy.

Those wheels are the OE SLE 20x9+27 Wheels. The 285/65r20 is basically a 35x11" tire. Looks really good too.

      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. I'm taking this truck home.   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 rebuild service, 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.

      2024 Sierra Vibration - Need advice

      By 24trailboss · Posted

      Typically it is the Torque Converter, I have a 2.7L Trail Boss and between 25-65 MPH at 1300-1500 rpms under light throttle it has a shudder which I almost consider and bobble or a gargle sound. They replaced my TC but it did not help any, others say it has fixed their issues. It has been back twice now with no fix after.
