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.

Great!  Thank you Phil.
 
I just got a new issue and I don't know what I did to have this happen.  My alarm will not beep when I hit the lock a second time.  I also noticed that the dash light  flashed rather fast compared to when the alarm was on before.  Any idea what I may have done?

Do you have any door ajar Signals? Usually, no beep means a door is not completely shut. Did you do anything around the lock/unlock Signals?

You are the winner Phil.  I feel so stupid!  LOL   The rear door was open just enough to not be seen.  THANK YOU!

 

This is what happens when your working 120hrs a week (SALARY) and you get a call for more money from another company!  Interview Tuesday!!!  Your mind just isn't all there!

Added a zone Add-a-leaf which raised the rear about 2”. Going to measure in a week or so to see how much it settles e8293995e7223d2b92578bdd27aadbb6.jpgeb717f5aed8cd25bd773ef6fe118f9e4.jpg90c5a6ecb28e4378e1d6c8715fe8d875.jpg

Not my truck, but had a member drive up from Houston this morning to install some Amazon mirrors. Of course they weren’t wired right out of the box. Running light was landed on the turn signal slot. Instructions said “signal on glass”... yeah, there were no signals in the glass. LOL. Made some wiring changes and made them work as best as I could. This truck is also 2014, which meant I had to run the dreaded RZY Jumper. Nice skin off my finger. Couldn’t find my gloves. SMH.

Spec-D Mirrors.

Gave it an exterior wash and an interior detail, a much needed interior detail. Also removed the steps.

Going to price out repainting the front bumper and hood sometime this week. The paint on these trucks suck, so many rock chips. Might get them to paint the grille and headlight trim too. Then it's getting a vinyl wrap on the front end.

I still wish I understood the urge to install jackass ears on a good looking truck.

MAYBE if I towed more than twice a week, not just a ghost trailer.

Not trying to beat on anyone,just trying to understand.

@pgamboa  Phil, How did you get the drivers side faceplate on the center console?  This odd hook piece is really screwing things up.

Maybe some people like the added mirror space to see around them better while driving. It’s no different then most pickups on the road being used for grocery getters, and wanting the added ground height to see better, safety

There is a clamshell plastic molding where the skirt panel hook, hooks onto. You have to remove that.

He works in construction and tows a lot. After owning this truck, he said he should have gotten a 2500 since he squats a lots with what he tows. Many upgrade for the added safety. Some add it for the cosmetic appearance and the additional lighting.

      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.

      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.

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