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.

Found an hour of free time yesterday and installed GM - Illuminated Door Sills. Love the way they look! Of course, made a how to video. The box didn't come with instructions and tried searching he

No, here is a link to their FAQs. I put my old one in a little ziplock baggie just in case this ever failed on me, it’s sitting in the bottom of my center console with the gas can funnel/adaptor and wheel lock key. It was $30 and change so I’m good with it being a one time deal.

***One nice thing is let’s say you have two or three locks (they have several types of locks available) or even 10! Like an RV that uses one of these and 3 paddle locks, one on tongue latch, one on utility trailer ramp and one on an exterior tool box, well if they are all BOLT locks, you only need 1 key for all 4 locks ?

Yea, I have a collection of them too. Someone has to know how to rekey the damn things, I have the hitch pin, and locks, mostly because my Chevy's get bought back every 2 years.

Your flairs are very subtle I like that! Where did you find them? I ended up having line x spray my wheel wells and fender flairs on because I didnt want anything to obnoxious sticking out.

His whole truck is subtle and very tastefully done. Being a Sierra owner, I took the fender flairs for granted but now realize the Silverado normally doesn’t have them. I like his truck a lot...I love my Summit white but if there had been a Sierra on the dealers lot in that color, I’m not so sure I’d have white lol

Finally got the windows tinted. 5% all around, 35% full windshield and 5% sun strip.

Have paint matched door handles and mirror caps waiting to go on when the rain stops. As well as hid’s from headlight revolution.

It’s getting leveled with Fox 2.0 front coil-overs and 2.0 rear shocks. Then the 33x12.50x20 Kenda Klever RT’s go on.

Thanks.  That's what I was going for.  The fender flares and the +1 offset on the wheels give it a just enough wider stance that I like.

 

Flares are GM Part No. 84007564.  I used my chevy rewards discount to get them from the dealer.  The box they come in is huge so getting them at the dealer saved some shipping costs.

Looks good, but I gotta ask why tint the windshield? I know obviously it’s to block the sun. Is it even legal? I have zero desire to do so since I like to see where I’m going. It’s a trend that I’ve noticed is increasing in popularity. Just seems hilariously dangerous.

I had my old Impala tinted at legal levels and hated going anywhere after dark. I can’t imagine having the windshield tinted as well.

While it looks great, here in Florida that’ll get you pulled over and impounded...unless you can strip it off in front of the LE. They’re pretty forgiving here as most every FHP has limousine black on their sides and back but they’d get ya for that. Reminds me of the 58 Plymouth in Christine and it looked bada$$ too but probably wasn’t easy to drive at night...still the truck looks great!!

110% for privacy.

Legal, no, on a federal level supposedly, as I was told by a sheriff deputy I seen at a gas station leaving Orlando Fl in my wife’s suburban (same exact tint). He didn’t hassle me, just said if the whole thing is tinted that it could be a $160 fine and he left.

Can I see through it to safely drive at night? Yes.

Though it is a little tricky backing up at night out in the country. But I’m more than used to it by now. Every vehicle I’ve had for the last 15 years has been tinted the exact same. And nothing but a warning so far legally.

As far as I’m concerned, no one else needs to be able to see inside my vehicle what so ever.

Set in one like this and you wouldn’t be able to tell the whole windshield is even tinted. It’s only 35%. Seems clear from the inside.

Your engine bay looks great. Wonder if that cover is available for the 6.2? Now worries on me stealing your badge idea, I don’t play that way! Love Star Wars but not into outright thievery ?...maybe put Sierra and something more personal where your ST is...maybe the Oregon “O” ?

      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.

      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 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.
