Very nice. Waiting for my Kings to be delivered. How much lift did they give you out of the box? I see in your picture the top spring seat is spun down roughly 1/4"? Did you get standard travel or extended travel?


Not sure about the travel, picked them up used. The spring seat is spun down on the passenger side, not the driver side. That's how the guy had adjusted them to make his truck level. Gave about 2.5" of lift

No link, just sweat equity. I sanded and painted the handle myself.

Added Borla ATAK cat-back with Black Chrome tips on the truck Yesterday.
 
 


I can’t decide between that or the Carven exhaust.

Got my engine cover back last weekend finally put it back on. I personally think it turned out great and really digging the kryptek.3c17dce550d90a8c65b62b5bc3439392.jpgcab0b49004081386d171783ad3908b37.jpg

Installed a blackbear tune on my 17 6.2. Totally different truck. I didnt expect it to roast 35s from a stop like it did. Truck drives like it should have from the factory. I will add that my truck is also successfully running a 2016 tcm which allowed blackbear to tune my trans as well. Didnt have to pay to have my tcm unlocked from HP tuners.

Carven is still stainless. I was talking more about the tone. To me the Carven sounds better. I’ll give the S Type another listen.

Do you know the part number? Been wanting one but when I looked a while ago I didn’t see one painted for some reason

 

 

Edit- didn’t see your following post about painting it. It looks great though

Switched over to Amsoil today.  Motor, front and rear diff, transfer case.  Glad I did the transfer case too, even though this is "normal". 45k in IMG_3541.thumb.JPG.e4fc477b9c82c2fce1fe612a498dbf98.JPG

Put a plug in my tire to get me to the tire shop for a proper internal patch tomorrow ???

 

How the hell a 2" long screw can stand straight up on the road to harpoon my tire is beyond me.

    • Google converting 98 4.3 spider injection to carburetor if all else fails. 
    • 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.
