Tell that to the $100 ticket I got for having my offroad lights uncovered...not in use, just uncovered.

 

And a friend got tagged for not having his fogs on with low beams. That was $87.50...

 

And still another friend got his inspection rejected for not having lights on with the highs and for having tires past the fender well (by a 1/4" mind you).

 

Don't tell me, or preach to everyone on here, that it won't happen...

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.

Can be very location specific. Here in Florida the whole state is pretty good except for Tallahassee. It is the capital and they have an over abundance of traffic cops apparently under orders to ticket anything they can. Window tint tickets, crooked licence plate tickets, but don't worry, you can still buy all the crack you want.

Did the paint to match swap a few weeks ago and dual fog light mod. I still need to adjust the fog lights a little. Also added midnight edition headlights and just installed my 305/55/20 falken wild peak at/3 tires. 6dba189da7439f699d4d130305218c7c.jpg6afe4062ab9e0694a94c7de32d260339.jpgcd5a9e691545adb866b4d4cfd27c0a68.jpg6fe518b5d476b2d073fb625748a720a1.jpg

What fog light pods/mount did you use? I like the look of them; I have something similar but they are the smaller Rigid lights/mount. I didn't think the ones you have would fit in the housing.

Just a set off eBay. No name brand. Just a 3in cube. Didn't use a rigid mount or anything. Just drilled a hole in the plastic bucket and ran the bolt thru to mount.

I guess I was lucky this last winter when I visited a buddy in Erie, PA. Driving on those back hilly snow coverd roads with huge ditches required all the light I could throw at it, until the lake effect snow came in. In the metro Detroit area people drive with their lights on, last night a ford with pods by the a pillar, led factory fog location, and some steer horns on the hood ... it wasnt blinding because he had everything pointed down.

How much for the headlights? I want to upgrade to a projector headlight but OEM is pretty expensive.

It was a set of eBay, don't waste your money. Save up and get OEM I made that mistake. These things are not that great. I have them adjusted as high as they go and can barely see on the road the beam does not go high enough. Luckily I run my fogs on back roads for the time being till I hit The city, turn them off and it's OK but I'm back roads or anything like that they are junk. Wish I didn't buy them and waste the money on painting the trim. I am now saving up for OEM midnight edition headlights or if I can come across a set for sale I will snag them ASAP

For the reverse lights, I used a piece of wire, not a diode so they come on in reverse, or when I turn the cargo light on.

Make sure you got the correct pin, sounds like you hit the the DRL instead of lowbeam.

 

Diode was reversed.

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

      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.
