Had my front valance off for a while and was really happy with it but still wanted it to be even at the bottom, so I cut the bottom of the valance off and reinstalled it. Got the idea from Swirvn

Did your bumpers come in chrome? Mine are chrome and I wish they were like yours.

The bumpers were painted because my truck has the All-Terrain package.

Did a quick once over finally since it was a little slower at work today and Started to de-badge CDCE2F58-E932-4F1D-97B1-FC540E120EB6_zpsB1FC118A-EA21-4376-8C5C-ECC4C644C87C_zps

Installed a dash cam today. Took all of 5 mins, came with a USB, so I plugged it into the USB in the glovebox after running the cable behind the trim and dash.

It's the YI smart camera. I got it off of Amazon.ca, I paid $90cdn for it. It has 60fps at 1080p and has driving alerts built in. Don't think I'll use the driving alerts but they are there. Both lane keep alert and forward collision alert. So far it's good.

Private sale on my 2014.
Picking up my 2018 tomorrow.
Shout out to Jim Trenery in Union Mo for advertising crazy low prices and my local dealer actually price matching! Local dealer didn’t have pearl so got the silver.

Gave her a rinseless wash only because I had a bucket left from the wife's ride. About the only plus to our summer drought is the truck has stayed clean.

Installed High Country grill.  Hardest part was transferring the illuminated bowtie over.  Happy with the new look.

Where'd you buy the new grill from?

My local Chevy dealer through my body shop buddy so I could get a break on price.

Gotta be nice to use a lift when you want, even one at work. Always better than using a jack and jack stands!

    • 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
    • Google converting 98 4.3 spider injection to carburetor if all else fails. 
    • That computer lies!
    • 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.
