I have mine HMI unlocked so the video will not switch at any speed. The only time the video switch is when you put in reverse.

Just saw this post. Does your rear camera still work and how do you switch between the two? I'm a Masshole too in Hull. Would like to meet up someday and get some more tips.

They wouldnt turn on. They came back on this morning on the way home so idk what happened to cause the fail. This is the only issue I have had with them since I installed them. I have the DDM 55w kit with the wiring harness.

Edit: Tried them again last night and they are dead again. Pulled the whole kit out of the truck and put the stockers back in until the new stuff arrives. On both of the hid bulbs there was some corrosion on the middle of the bulbs all the way around. I have never seen that before so who knows.

I'll bet your relay went bad if you have that dual in harness.

I added Retro Shop switchback led lights and a 24" light bar behind the grille.

 

 

led lights:

Just sayin, those switchback boards are actually made by diode dynamics, just incase if anyone else is curious of the manufacturer

Ditched the 305/55 idea and went with 305/50. That's a one inch difference and it makes a big difference. I'm going to finish it up tomorrow, but here's what she's looking like right now. 20x12's on 305/50r20 Toyo AT2's 2.5" Level.

Hey man first off bad ass looking rig!! Second are you running a -44 offset? How much did you have to trim and do you think if you would have had the 1.5 body lift the 33x12.50x20 would fit? The reason I am asking is because I want to ditch the 20x9 +18 wheels that I have and go to something wider. I was thinking 20x10 -24 but if a 20x12 -44 will fit then I will go that route. I just need to be able to keep my tires which are 33x12.50x20 Toyo RTs. Thanks for any info.

Would you mind sharing where you tapped into for the foot well lighting?

There are a few places you can tap into, but I chose in the drivers side footwell. You could also try the drivers side front pilar. In the footwell there are 3 connectors that have wires running to them. You want the one on the left side, a grey 26 pin connector. Specifically pin 1, which is a grey wire. I T tapped off of this. You can test in by opening your doors(seeing that the dome lights come on) then unplugging the connector. If the lights go out, that's the one. I ran my wires under the floor carpet to hide everything. PM me if you need help. Nitrodatsik was a huge help for me on this one.

Thanks bro, yes the wheels are -44 offset. I trimmed quite a bit, the rear of the felt liner was cut and metal was also cut. 20x10 would fit with almost 0 issues on just a level, plenty of guys run that. 20x12's are a little tougher though, I've seen some guys run true 33's like the RT's & MT's on x12's and leveling kits but they must've trimmed pretty heavy. A 1.5" body lift would help you out a lot. I know two guys that run 22x12 on 33x12.50r22 with a 3.5" RCX lift. So you would be at 4" and should be able to run that, but you'd still have to trim.

The rear camera switch normal when you put in reverse. And switch back when out of reverse. hit me up when you're around the area.

    • 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
    • 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.
