I recently installed Fox coilovers and later Cognito upper control arms to correct the bad angles seen here (lots of snap crackle pop too lol):

Here's how it sits now:

Install was okay. I had never done anything like it before, so I took my sweet time. It was exhausting but man was it fun. The wife unit was happy that we saved a little $$$ too lol.

 

After all that, I installed a 2" block in the rear to give it a slight bit of rake (about 0.25")

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.

A rich man, not afraid to spend money on a depreciating asset ! J/K

 

I actually got a great deal on all four shocks on eBay! Still a nice chunk of money and it's definitely not for everyone, but it makes me happy and I intend to keep the truck for a very very long time. :driving:

I had the pleasure of discovering poor engineering on the center fold down seat cup holders. Not if, but when you spill something in the cup holders, it will drain out into the foam padding underneath the cup holders and under the storage area. Good luck

I replaced my roll-x cover with a bakflip vip. Had an issue with the original cover and it was replaced under warranty with the vip. I like it more vs the roll-x.

Looks super! You running the coils at stock setting to yield 2"? How much is the ride improved over stock in your opinion?

Loving mine so far! My last truck had the soft GM cover and it was nice, but the trifold is fantastic.

Thanks! Ride is 10x better. I've done some aggressive off-roading recently and it's a completely different truck. I installed the shocks as they came to me but I got about 2.5"-2.6" of lift. I leveled it back out by installing a 2" rear blocks.

Custom hitch cover. Found the guy online who does them. Individually makes them all by hand and is open to custom orders. http://www.kempterkustoms.com

Added the LED headlights. Went with the H11 LED kit from http://www.xenondepot.com. Simple install and plug & play. Ordered the wrong Fog kit, so just waiting for them to arrive and they will all match. 6K color temp.

I'm waiting for mine now. How long did it take for your hitch cover to arrive?

      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.
