The leather is loose in the back of the seat and the passenger seat lines are parallel with one another. Maybe they just didn't assemble yours properly in the first place lol

Wouldn't put it past them lol...

 

I just sent a list of 4 things to my service advisor.

Has better throttle response for sure, and engine seems to idle a lo smoother too. These DI engines really like the higher octane fuel.

 

 

I haven't decided if it will be worth paying for 93 octane vs 89 octane, but I will try it for a few weeks and decide.

Thanks, I'm tuned for 89, and debating a re-tune for 91...

Dealer is repairing it because their tech did it with another vehicle in the service area. They are also covering the cost of painting it as well as another chip that I showed them. Just need to drop it off for the week!

That's another unfortunate, but perfect example of why I recommend staying away from dealership service departments.

Most of the time, if not every time, they cause you more damage than when you dropped it off! I learned this lesson long ago when they destroyed the black paint on my truck and dented the door. STAY AWAY, they will damage your vehicle!

Not sure why one would need that but it sure does look cool and I really like how you have a z71 logo on it that matches your gauge cluster.

Aeroforce Interceptor.

I made the pod. Doesn't want to leave it empty so i fill it in with this gauge.I might supercharge it down the road. The cool thing about the gauge is. You can check and clear codes if you need it.

You can also display any parameter that you want. Lol

Really? Well that is cool. Even if it only kept the time, it still adds a good look to your truck.

That looks freaking awesome in a regular cab!!

 

 

Agreed!

Thanks! I wanted buckets/console on my last two RCSB's but it was not an option. Never thought that it would be such an easy swap.

    • 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.
