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.

Does anyone know how to get this message to go away

I’ve tried clearing the code with a plug and play

Unplugging all the wires under the dash

Taking the cables off the battery

It’s a 2017 Sierra base model elevation

Just bought Hellwig rear sway bar on Amazon. It’s $260 right now. Idk if that’s just today or it’s normally like that but want to throw that out there if anyone is looking to get one.

Finally got a chance to tune my Firestik CB antenna. A big thanks to @Ravenkeeper for his guidance and help with getting my SWR readings within specs.

I had my trans, diff and transfer cases serviced at the dealer at roughly 50k miles if I remember correctly.

 

I now have roughly 72k miles on my 2016... I need to review my owners manual to see when I need to take care of any of that again I think I was behind on some of it at 50k miles... I have never put miles on a vehicle like this before, I always leased my vehicles or had beaters so this routine maintenance stuff is kinda new to me...

Midnight, I apologize, I'm not sure what you mean by art up. As far as my range, I was checking for radio checks, and I was talking to guys that were on I55 and I80, which is about 4-5 miles from my house. I may be able to get a little further when I get out on the open road, but that was just from my driveway. SWR readings at 1.25 across channels 1 & 40.

100 miles into it!  Excellent Son!  All the nonsense items that annoyed me are 90% gone.  Retarded GM 500RPM idle bumped up.  Shifting from 1-3 and 3-1 cleaned up.  AFM does not come on or turn off until 40MPH +/- 3mph.  Added 20HP and 20Tourque on 87 Octane for just a little bump and nothing for 91-93 octane.  Yeah....the beast pretty dang nice now!  Mainly looking for refinement and not power on the tune.....

I like to also change the traction control, disable afm, clean up the commanded afr. The direct injection run better a little cleaner. Also you can remove torque management and then data log to see what the truck really has before the stock tune limits it.
Look at the afr and idle tables and see the engine coolant temp that the computer then allows for lower rpm at idle and the power enrichment. Also not everyone but some I find a issue in the tire size another reason I mess with traction control.
If truck as exhaust or intake you can adjust the air flow tables to try to make it calculate a like better with demanded throttle.
Biggest thing is data logging throttle voltage not percent. And then drive it. You will see demand 100% throttle body not then the game is to find out why?
Hp tuners for everything. For me.[emoji106]

I only buy my oil from Wally World. Nobody else sells Dexos cheaper. It should be illegal for places like Oreillys to sell it so high.

      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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
