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.

Completely trash when it came in the mail today, it was bashed and looked completely distorted terrible image work.

 

Wanted to see what it looked like to see if I was going to waste my time getting a new one but not worth it. I need to learn to stop ordering off eBay I wait months to get trash lol 730b5d03f28fc705296f0eef8c3d863e.png

 

Looked like it was going to be cool

Did you do it yourself? How long did it take? Any tips for doing it myself?

Finally had the chance to sit down and post.

 

I originally deleted (removed/capped) my AM/FM antenna about a month of so after I had bought my truck. Yesterday, I had to go to ACE Hardware and get new supplies to "relocate" my AM/FM antenna. I grabbed some hardware Saturday on my way home from work, the bolt (1/4-28) worked but the nut, that fit the bolt, did not work. Grabbed "7mm fine thread bolt and nut, and new eyelets for the cable. My son came out to see what I was doing. Had him grab the antenna post/stud (while holding the antenna up over his head), and the radio started picking up the station that it was set to, he had that "how in the world" look on his face. :freak: Took the cable with both new eyelets on it and touched the post, kind of picked up the station, then touched the end of the antenna to the cable, had connectivity and clear signal, so I attached the one eyelet with the bolt, still great signal. Placed the antenna under the fender, zip-tied it, routed the cable out of the way of the hinge, placed the eyelet on the post, went to grab the nut off the front cover, and MURPHY decided to show up, down under the cowl, behind the headlight and never made it to the ground. :devil: Searched for that stupid thing for a little short of a hour, figured it got caught somewhere, so I drove around the block (rough road), looked in the truck and walked around the block, still nothing. :devil::banghead: So, today, after work, while I'm out looking for a new microwave (to make "the boss" happy), I'll have to go get another 7mm fine thread nut ($0.25). The good thing is, I can install it without opening the hood and right there in the parking lot. :fingersx:

I did it my self. Took about 15 minutes a side. Not very hard just buy extra in case need to try a second time it's pretty forgiving though https://www.ebay.com/itm/272727177532 this is way more than you need but it's what I ordered.

If the blue was color matched, I think it would've looked better IMO.

Also installed a Z71 emblem on the back. I have enough emblems to change it for every day of the week. Still can't decide what to do.

 

What other emblems do you have? If you want to sell any shoot me a PM :lol:

Added some LEDs to the rear steps, hooked them up to the reverse lights, took all of about 30 minutes, start to finish. That includes mounting and connecting the wires. Reverse lights and cargo lights are all LED also, next up are those brake lights. :thumbs: I'll try to get some night shots today and post em up for those that are curious.

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

      By richard wysong · Posted

      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.
