What brand catch can? Or is a diy?

Do you remember the parts used. I have the HD catch can right now but want something better and a little bigger but I can't bring myself to drop 200 bucks. What type of can Didi you use and did you baffle the inside?

I machined it myself. It has a compartment in the lid filled with stainless mesh similar to the Moroso can.

I traded my '14 LTZ for a '17 All Terrain and absolutely love this truck. I'm not good with adjusting photos and I've been swamped with holiday clean up so I only have one picture of the new truck. Hoping the weather clears out and I will get some pictures with the sun out.

Congrats! What was the purpose of the trade?

Thanks. My '14 was staring to have some issues (Passenger and rear seat rattling still rattled after adding foam to it, electrical issue and out of warranty) and had great rates from my credit union. I do outside sells for construction equipment and drive about 1000 miles a week.

Trimmed the carpet liners. Really didn't want to zip tie it back. Problem solved. I circled where it was rubbing.

Swapped third brake and cargo bulbs for Phillips LEDs. Added a drain valve to my catch can. I drove about 30 miles today and the can caught about a tablespoon of mostly water.

Changed U joints. And found out that the parts store doesn't list a part number for the u joint at the axle. There are 2 different sized u joints for the steel driveline. Had to match one up with their stock.

Bad u joint already? How many miles?

 

I've never had good luck finding u joints for my GM trucks at a parts store, I typically get a OEM Spicer (if my memory is correct) from the dealer. Little bit more but fits perfectly every single time

Just trying to narrow down my chevy shake. But I have 60k Miles. Next step is a driveline balance. Anyway the u joints felt really gritty so didn't hurt to change them.

Hmm I got 67k and I tow a lot, maybe I should check them next time I have it up for a tire rotation.

 

Did it help at all with the shake or you haven't driven it yet?

Thanks! It's a double row 24 " curved. It works good, it's really bright.

Here's a wall shot of just the bar.

Oh its a double row. I was just going to go with a single row since this particular grille has the thick pieces figured it would block one of the entire rows of lights.

 

Thanks for the feedback i may reconsider now. Do you have any pics with the grille off when you were mounting it?

They are easy mount. When you take out the grille there is a lip on the inside wide enough to mount it.

When it's on at night you can't see the bars. Here's a pic of it on.

Interesting so you have it mounted on the actual grille. I was thinking it was on those support braces like most others have light bars

    • Google converting 98 4.3 spider injection to carburetor if all else fails. 
    • 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.
