Installed some lights under the hood just in case. Put a hood pin switch so they come on when the hood opens. And the horn in the pic is not hooked up, didn't like the sound of it.

Raptor lined my oem side steps... They get the job done, so I wanted to restore then a little.  UV and chipped paint were the issues before hand.  

 

Just because I was down there... I out some fluid film on some parts.  I try to hit spots over time rather than do the who truck...  So I clean and then film.

Does the camera stay on when you're stopped and the blinker is activated?

 

My camera setup can trigger it by speed as well, so when I'm at a stop and my blinkers are on, they go back to normal view and once I start moving again, the video feed comes back on. My front camera can also get triggered by speed(when you slow down to a certain speed 5/mph??) to come on as well, basically good for parking close to something(like my garage wall :) ) .

 

I like that default OEM option, I like the Left/Right and Left/Right/Trailer option it has, mine don't have those.. :(.

The view from the tow mirrors only shows when I have activated the option and anytime the turn signal is on.
The front cam has to activated manually through a press and hold of the "back" button on the infotainment screen and, then selecting the front cam option.
The multi-screen view is great for trailering.

Put led lights in the cargo and 3rd break light.  I put led in the reverse lights too.

Installed a 32" LED light bar behind the grille and wired up a couple switches. The rock light switch has nothing to power on yet though. ba4cec086ac3972fb993cf4414719df8.jpg

Did you use the for light bracket from Rigid?

 

How much of the plastic bucket did you cut out?

So did I, in November 2018, couple months after I got my new truck.  I put BRIGHT whites in Cargo and Reverse, and BRIGHT RED in the Brake light.

Early birthday present.  THANKS @OEDRO!!!!!

 

Had to take my CB antenna off, for now, mount bracket screws lost their threads about halfway along the shank. 🤬 It’s only removed until I find my mount bracket that I had on my previous truck.

Also added one of the GM-Trucks stickers that I received in the mail today.

Twice a year washing the truck is pointless. Fall when crops are harvested and spring when they are planted. Won't stay clean five minutes. Well planting is winding down so Pepper got a much needed bath. She still looks good 😉

    • 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
    • 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.
