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.

Tonight was a brighter LED 3rd brake light.

Brighter HID bulbs.

Changed my halogen front turn signals to LEDs and wired in resistors to get rid of hyper flashing. Talk about tight spaces and wiring harness tabs that do not want to release.....grrr

That's all I could handle in 95 degree heat working on a black truck. Everything I touched was burning!

How many resistors did you use for the front? Thanks

Not to hijack his reply, but I used 50w 6 ohm resisters for my LED tails and switchback front blinkers. Pretty sure that's standard for most applications. Be sure to mount them to metal, they get hot!

Yesterday I put on half of a Roadmaster Active Suspension (RAS) kit.  My truck is lowered by 2 inches in front and 4 inches in the rear with a flip on the rear.  It took some figuring but I finally found a way to install with the flip kit.  Got the driver side installed but the passenger side got held up by a shackle bolt that I could not get off with hand tools.  The original installer must have used an impact wrench and the damn thing is on so tight that I almost stripped the head trying to get it off before I wisely stopped and put that side back as it was without  the RAS.

 

 

Got the other half of the RAS installed and everything cranked down tight.  The back end sits almost an inch higher than before the install and so instead of being level it now has a rake to it.

Had the vacuum pump replaced under special coverage and the rear pinion seal replaced under power train warranty on my 2016.

I have noticed a slight reduction in sway while cornering and do feel like it was gripping better on starts.  I have towed or hauled anything which is one of the primary areas you are supposed to see a benefit.  That said I am probably going to take them off though.  I have my truck lowered and I had to figure out a way to mount since the standard mounting method wouldn't work.  Doing what I did has introduced a vibration at lower speeds that cancels out any benefit.  That plus the extra inch it added in height to my rear which re-introduced a rake I don't want mean I will be taking them off.  I think I can make them work in the future without the vibration by making some modifications to my flip kit for the vibration problem and finding a shorter drop shackle to help with the height issue.  I need to find a machine shop for the flip kit issue.  I think if I can just have an additional hole drilled on one part I can fix the vibration issue.  Finding a shorter drop shackle actually looks like the tougher issue to address at this point.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      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

      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.
