Picked up my tips for the new exhaust. It's all coming together slowly.

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.

Probably bad fuel, have you tried putting any octane booster in?

I just put in 3/4 tank of 93 octane, as I have to with my tune. May just be water in fuel or bad fuel like you said

Throw in a bottle of octane boost and see if that helps. Worst case it may be diesel fuel you pumped so keep your gas reciept. My mom had that problem on her Cadillac one time. Turns out the knobs on the tanker for premium and diesel turn the same color or close. Chevron told my father that diesel being put in the 93 tank happens a few times a year. Doubt this happened but a friendly heads up.

Will do. Just waiting on the headers & autocal to come in and it's all getting thrown on.

 

Those look good. Are they powdercoated or did you buy them like that?

I went with a 5% brow, 5% driver and passenger window and 15% back seat and 3 back windows. On top of factory windows which come 70% front and 24% back it comes out to about 3.5 % (.7x.05=.035 and .24x.15=.036) on everything except the windshield. My last vehicle was a tahoe with 5% all around and the back was too dark on top of factory tint. Before that I had a Benz with 5 % all around so I'm used to dark vehicles. I had a 14 with 15% on the front windows (not windshield) and 35% over the back five windows and it wasn't close to dark enough, could still see in easily. I want my tint dark enough that you can't see inside, even in the daytime but as I hunt and travel country roads in the dark I still need to be able to see out sometimes. I think this was the perfect blend of privacy, protection and still being able to see well even at night. I'm not sure of your state laws so you might consider them but around here they don't really care too much about tint. In the last 10+ years of driving around the nation living in NY, TX, CA, FL, OK and AR I've only been pulled over once for tint.

Just did 70% on the windshield, 45% on the front and 5% on the sunroof. Nice smooth color throughout the truck. Not trying to get pulled over. Plus I'm getting older and it's harder to see out the darker stuff at night. Lol

bought them like that, but they are powdercoated - I think most other coverings like paint are eventually going to peel from the heat...

Just curious to see if mine are going to last. Mine were originally chrome, sand blasted then powdered gloss black.

Dude I've experienced exactly what you're describing. I had my lift adjusted and rented a new GMC Sierra with like 2k miles on it from the local dealer (I said rented but it was free) and that thing was shaking like a whore in church. I dunno what the hell thats about

Decided id finally go ahead and order a K&N washable cabin air filter since the local AutoZone didn't have a non-washable one in stock.

 

Also, AC decided it didn't want to blow cold anymore. Has anyone else experience this? Only 38K miles on it

I just bought a K&N air filter and cabin air filter for my VW Passat TDI. Autoanthing had them for 22% off plus free shipping so it was a solid deal.

      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.

      OCI, not when but why?

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