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.

I used goof off and a plastic scraper and the badges came off easily enough, but it seemed to have no effect on the 4x4 sticker.

Gasoline works great, you just have to clean and wax it after, because it removes the wax. Can't remember exactly how I did the 4x4 sticker it was so long ago, but light heat gun can help pull it off in one piece.

so i had an idea a while ago...  i have been using a 2x8 in the back of my truck as a 'divider' (just sliding it into the little groves on each side of the box).  it worked great but i wanted to do something a little 'more'.

 

i came up with 2 layouts that i liked - i ended up going with the bottom one:

5a6578c6020e3_silveradoboxdivider.thumb.jpg.72ea924320ef8fa4a638f60af945d81e.jpg

 

one of the pieces of equipment i have with my business is a laser cutter, so using taped together file folders i created the template....

IMG_5502.thumb.JPG.a22eafac225efb7e5f464c7d4acfbc0e.JPG

 

put the template on the 2x8....

IMG_5503.thumb.JPG.e14a04eac72d666a921ceee4d08abdd2.JPG

 

and transferred all the 'cut outs'

IMG_5507.thumb.JPG.d891978ffba6a43e5d1f0253c5daf081.JPG

 

i wanted to use a router, but to make life a little easier, i drilled out as much as i could first....

IMG_5528.thumb.JPG.5b35ab2e0d78141173294072ee0a7f38.JPG

 

once the drilling was done i screwed plastic jigs to the 2x8  (i made the jigs with the laser cutter, just 1/8" plastic.  my thinking was that the little wheel on the top of the router bit would just follow the cut out in the plastic.)

it worked great!

IMG_5541.thumb.JPG.3f25e19f7653da03a41423bfe26f9238.JPG

 

then use wood filler on all the screw holes...

IMG_5542.thumb.JPG.bbe3e63e1d7bf857af557aea59b456e1.JPG

 

then sand it and get ready to paint....

IMG_5543.thumb.JPG.3a7f1a02a14f623a4d27f96430660732.JPG

 

and here it is...

IMG_5555.thumb.JPG.364295d657607867943d1d1a492c4de7.JPG

 

overall i'm really happy with it.  the only thing i need to do is go get another can of flat black.  i grabbed a can of what i thought was flat but ended up being semi gloss!  ha!  oh well, will add the final flat coat in the next couple days after i can get to a hardware store

 

if anyone else wants to try the same thing i'll see if i can attach the file i used with my laser cutter...

silverado box divider.ai

 

^^maybe it worked??  it's just an ai file - nothing special.  if the above file didn't upload properly and you'd like to try this just fire me a private message with your email address and i'll send the file.

 

the one thing i'd still like to add is a piece of stainless steel to the back side, but just behind the chevy logo - i think that would look sweet.  i just need to get to a local metal shop

      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. I'm taking this truck home.   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 rebuild service, 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.

      I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.

      2024 Sierra Vibration - Need advice

      By 24trailboss · Posted

      Typically it is the Torque Converter, I have a 2.7L Trail Boss and between 25-65 MPH at 1300-1500 rpms under light throttle it has a shudder which I almost consider and bobble or a gargle sound. They replaced my TC but it did not help any, others say it has fixed their issues. It has been back twice now with no fix after.
