If you don't mind sharing, what's the part number for the headlight trim? I have chrome and would like to eventually switch them out to black.

You can’t purchase it separately. This is the second pair I’ve done. Just have to prep the chrome properly for the paint to adhere. 

 

I did mine about 9 months ago.  Totally changes the truck.  Ignore all the bugs on there, lol.  Have been up and down the highways of Arkansas the last few days.  Did my grill as well and plan on switching the chrome honeycomb for the black, once I get my bumpers wrapped.

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.

Your prepping process was similar to his?

I really want to do this as stage 2 to my chrome delete.

Finally got my oem struts and lift spacers swapped with my new RC 2.0 lifted struts.  It only took an entire freaking week.  I dropped the struts off at the shop Friday and they sat on em till yesterday and finally got em swapped.  I started installing them at 10 this morning and finished up an hour ago.  What a pain in the ass job that was.  I got everything buttoned back up and go to start my truck and I get a "service trailer brakes", "service stabilitrack" and my ABS light is on.  WTF!!!????  Truck runs fine, brakes work fine and I plugged into one of my trailers and the trailer brakes work fine.  I don't know what happened.  The truck has been sitting for about 9 days without being started so Im hoping maybe a battery issue, even though it fired right up.  I need to find a place that has a code reader for ABS.  Mine wont do it

Added a Lock'er Down console safe. Had to relocate my streamlight that was in the console. I think it turned out pretty good.b726865da26db42c0f0af278f811b5ac.jpgccd4ba2905c6c3c4f2dc392a2d322c04.jpg

I sanded, used adhesion promoter and then base and clear on my old lights, grill and tailgate handle. Still going strong for 3 years except for some rock chips. That’s to be expected though.

Installed LED low beams thanks to Amazons flash sale, and dropped it off to get the front two windows tinted. Going to have them match the tint of the others. I hope it’s not too dark.

Its actually just the charger that came with the light. 2 screws old it in place. I think it fits that cubby perfectly. The light is a Streamlight Strion LED HP.

They dragged their feet so long on getting the 6112’s out you think they’d be a little more cost competitive to the Eibach kit, is basically the same set up. Unless the Bils kit is made of unobtanium or gold...

Not really, Eibach is a 2" diameter shock, Bilstein is a 2.65" - Bilstein will perform much better offroad and be able to soak up bigger bumps, easier.

      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.
