Not today, but last night.

 

Went to church yesterday morning, ate lunch on Edwards AFB (with the family), then we went to Tehachapi to buy a twin bed frame for my daughter, then to Home Depot to buy a few things for our new house, and then went home via Tehachapi Willow Springs Rd.  Had some stupid kamikaze moron illegally pass us and the truck in front of us on a double yellow, blind curve, over a hill.  Said MORON almost ran into the oncoming car, but that person swerved off into the dirt, over corrected, and came straight into us.

The four of us are ok, I have a broken foot, #2/3/4 meditarpals.  Wife and kids are going in to be better examined than by the EMTs on the scene.  Wife has some swelling in her right hand, daughter has seatbelt bruising (mostly from the buckle), and son appears to be fine.  Wife/daughter were sitting on the right side, and son was behind me.

Glad you guys are going to be okay.  That truck gave it's life for yours!  Glad you were in a truck and not a little car.  Hope your recovery goes quickly.

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 am hoping  you and your family are okay and on the mend.  Unfortunately I don't think that one will buff out.

Glad to hear everyone is ok brother! It's a shame that people have to act in a manner that is so careless these days that they put everyone around them in harm's way. I hope y'all have a speedy recovery!

Hope you and your family are okay! People are in too much of a rush to wait for a clear straight away where you’re allowed to pass. Then they cause this and don’t even get a scratch but two innocent people do.

Hope you and the family are doing well today and have a quick recovery. Did the moron atleast stop and make sure you all were okay since he is the idiot that caused the wreck?

Wife and kids had seatbelt bruising, son has bruised rib(s) from being pinned to the door during the spin, and I have a broken foot.  I had to be pulled out, as both of my feet were independently pinned, and my seatbelt would NOT release.  

 

Had several nurses, during my ER trip that night and with the family yesterday, say that they were surprised and glad that I was still alive.

May get another Silverado.  Not sure if I want to stay with the 1500 or get a 2500.  BUT, I am set on getting a “Midnight Edition,” regardless of whatever truck I get.

That’s sucks, I was so ticked off when I got cut off in my Sierra.
Had to give up a lot of stuff I liked doing because I have my hand on the horn when the air bag went off.

You have to fight with the insurance don’t take the first offer and if they want to get it looked at get it sent to a gm dealer Chevy or gmc with a body shop on site.

Squeak wheel gets the Grease, fight for what you want.

I’m pretty sure that it’s totaled.  None of the GM dealerships in the AV have a body shop, they off-site their body work.  Front left A-arm is SEVERED, fender is missing (or at least I have no idea where it is), and I’m pretty sure the engine is toast.

Insurance companies are awful and be prepared for your insurance to go up when you did nothing wrong! They will try to fix anything as long as it’s under 75% of the cars value
They wanted to fix mine with a bent frame, bent tow hooks, 3 blown air bags, whole front end, door and fenders smashed in, the hood bent, all tires toast And my rad to the intake all mangled.


Thank god I didn’t want it back after that.

      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.
