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.

Installed my FX-R retrofit kit today. I already had the FX-R projectors (2.5", not 3" like I had originally thought). The size difference is noticeable; it doesn't fill up the hole for the projector like I would like it to, but it's really one of those things people will only notice if I point it out to them. I might eventually just buy the 3" and swap them out, but I am pretty pleased with the light output.

 

On my way home from my girlfriend's house tonight, the bugs were so thick for about 5 miles there that it sounded like it was raining. Guess the brighter lights attracted an enormous amount of bugs, ha!

Just a shot to give you an idea of the amount of bugs that accumulated

Had the front two windows tinted as they were not done at the dealership and they wanted way too much to do it.

 

Looks a lot better!

Freight would be about $200. But if it fits within GreyHound Shipping guidelines it would probably be under $100. I'm in no rush so whenever you get around to it see if it meets the criteria below.

 

"Size: The maximum weight per package is 100 pounds. The maximum dimensions that we can accommodate are 82" L x 47" W x 30" H."

Took my truck in for its first free maintenance visit today.

Other than the dealer making me wait till it was at 25% oil life, it was a painless affair.

They washed it for me as well.

 

One thing that got me curious is why I had to provide my personal info when he already had my VIN.

Aren't the dealers hooked into the Chevy database? Or is only the vehicle info available and not the owner data?

The dealer I went to the first 2 times (same one I bought the truck from) said it had to be under 20%. I think since dealerships are privately owned they can choose rather to be under a certain % or not. I know some have said on here that some don't care about the %. It's probably so someone doesn't go by the old mileage from back in the day and try to do is at 3,000 or even less. I had my 3rd done a couple months ago and that's going to be the last one since I have a little over a month before the 2 years is up and the mileage would be over 24,000 even if I drove the hell out of it for one month.

 

As for the info, if you bought the truck from them they will already have all your info but if you didn't get it from there then they might need to get your basic info. Maybe it's quicker to just ask for the information instead of looking it up. I know they do a VIN history to see if you have any recalls, but not sure if they can just look up all your info from the VIN. I know when I made the appt. for my last free oil change and tire rotation I gave her my name and she didn't find me cause I didn't buy the truck from there and had never went there for anything. I believe they still need to put your info in their personal system.

      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.

      I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
