I agree, your truck, your money, do what you want! At the same time, don't post pics of your truck and expect everybody to drool over them. If you decide to be an attention whore then expect some negative with the positive, otherwise, don't waste your time. There will always be somebody who thinks your truck is a turd!

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.

Found the handles and mirror caps on eBay, they were new take offs.

 

Bought new trim from an oem chevy parts site.

 

So worth it! Million times better looking than all the chrome ltz stuff.

Got my tint done Thursday.

 

Put on the driver's side assist handle today.

 

Also pulled off the dash bezel and added two Panavise mounts. And pulled the screen out and put a screen protector on while I was in there. Which requires taking 13 gold T15 screws out of the back of the screen assembly - I kept thinking surely they don't all need to come out!!

 

If you decide to take the screen out of its frame for any reason, pay extra attention to the long pins when fitting it back up with the frame piece. The 8 pins has specific holes they need to go into and could easily be bent (see the last few pics)

I did it to install a Panavise mount also. It is very hard the first time. Make you have some of those plastic trim removing tools. The clips will be very tight to break free the first time. It feels like you could crack or break the bezel at times. And if you aren't slow and patient you just might. It was scary when the tougher clips finally broke free. Upon subsequent removals to make adjustments some of them were much easier to break free. Right tools for the job is key.

Removed lower front valance and installed a Flowmaster super 10 series, removed resonator and tacked the valve open. d910f03e7de6f454bfa18941f1d037ab.jpgf71009bfef4bc9474747bf55621f644f.jpg

Forgot to mention, the muffler swap, resonator delete and valve mod cost me $155 bucks at a local shop near me. Was going to swap tips for a dual but that was an extra $100 I didn't have right now.

Nice! I'm thinking about doing the same thing only with a 40. How does it sound and is there any horrible drone?

Thanks. Sounds really good so far just driving around the neighborhood, no freeway tests yet. I can't even tell about the drone. When cruising 35 - 40mph it sounds good even after dropping to V4. I love it and for the price, great mod IMO.

As already mentioned, it's a bit tough. I've got a trim removal kit and it still feels like you're on the verge of busting something the first time. There's a decent YouTube video for a 2015 Silverado Screen Removal that does a decent job of showing where to pry and in what order, but the guy's bezel looks pretty loose to start with as it pops off easily. That definitely wasn't the case with mine. In that video, he doesn't have to pry the clips off on the lower middle section - they just pop off. Those were the two hardest to get off, IMO. I had to use a trim tool and push one of the clip tabs in to get it out.

 

The screen assembly also comes out pretty hard. There are four screws, but also two clips behind. You feel like you're going to bend the screen in half, then all of a sudden the clips release. That part is also in the YouTube vid [emoji1360]

I agree, 100%. I am looking for the same stuff right now for mine. How bad did they hit you for the new trim?

      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

      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.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      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.
