Traded my 2015 in for a new 2017! I couldn’t pass up on all the rebates and my payment went down! No to start slowly doing some mods. Window tint and a leveling kit are first. 32ae4458c47d29ee90375a477cbb280e.jpg

What’s up, guys? Starting to do some slight mods to my 2015 SLE. Added a Lab/Pheasant sticker to the rear window today, and I attempted the Bambi Mod (fog lights on at all times) but I sucked at it and bent the hell out of the diode. Might be a project for Sunday. I’m trying to get the fogs to come on automatically and stay on with my brights. Read up on it but don’t quite understand where to get the diode. Lol

I appreciate the compliment. I honestly hadn't heard of them either, but I find decent amount of good reviews and figured custom offsets wouldn't sell a total pile of crap. My biggest concern initially was that I found some reviews that said they couldn't get a tire to balance. However, I asked the boys at Goodyear how mine balanced and they said beautifully...They hadnt dealt with them either. Only time will tell though. All good so far...

Figured out why I was getting a helicopter sound when my HVAC fan was on high. A leaf had fallen into the blower when I changed my cabin filter. No pic though. Thought my phone took the pic.

Looks great! Big difference in output?
Where did you get the lights from?
I have a 14 LT

they do look 100% better than the reflectors... 

 

JUST installed them and haven't been out at night yet... a little bummed as my Opt7 LEDs will not fit in the low beam (due to the projector taking up too much room) so ill be running halogens for now.... but i was actually quite impressed with my stock reflector's light output.... I can only hope/imagine these will be better...

 

Got them from a member here actually..

Didn’t actually do anything yet, but I am beyond done with the horrible lighting that the stock bulbs put out in my 2015. On my way home there were two deer in the ditch that I couldn’t see until it would have been too late (with high beams on) Luckily I’ve driven the road for years and know that it’s time for them to be active. So...I took advanced of XenonDepots 20% off sale today and ordered the LED Pro kit for my truck, and a set of LED Fogs. I know it’s not the best thing to do in stock reflectors, but I’ve read that on the ‘15 they aren’t as blinding due to the way the housing is made. I plan on upgrading the assembly down the road to remedy the entire situation.

Yeah, I’ve looked at so many of them. XenonDepot, Morimoto, or VLEDs were the three I’ve tried to read as much as I could about. XenonDepot just doesn’t have many bad things said about them. Hopefully it works out, or I’ll be having to send them back. Morimoto makes a cap extender for their kit, but doubt you can buy it separate.

Did you paint them yourself? What product did you use?

    • 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.
