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 😉 

Marty, pic, please? Pretty please?

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.

Thanks, Jim! I'm keeping it to three panthers and one tiger for now - it's difficult to be a servant for many more felines than that! :D

Just received my AutoSync from WAMS and the harness from BTDiesel for the 2017+ K2 trucks.
Also ordered a BCM upgrade tonight from WAMS - dunno if I need it but it'll be fun to check out.
Update coming soon! :)

Did you use the for light bracket from Rigid?

 

How much of the plastic bucket did you cut out?

No, I thought about getting that bracket kit but the ones that came with the light bar were perfect and fit just right. Only think I had to do was use longer bolts to go through the stock bar on the truck. That's why I went with the 32" instead of the 20" light bar. It lined up just right in the lower part of the grill too. 

 

As for the switches, I bought the factory piece that comes with the trailer brake because it was already smooth. Once you remove the trailer brake piece from the back, you just have to cut out for the two switches which isn't much and they fit just right.

Is it weird the first thing I noticed were the green and yellow crocs you had on? 🤣 Sounds great, how's the drone at highway speed?

The factory tires were finally below the legal treadwear, so I bought new tires.

Thanks! Yeah, I'm a Green Bay fan. :)
That's the nice thing about Borla exhaust: there is no highway drone - in fact, at highway cruising, you barely know they are there.

GB will get through this, AR ain't going anywhere.
Still, we're way off topic, and I still have the AutoSync dongle to post something about.
The toughest thing for me was getting to the module to plug in the harness to make it compatible with 2017+ trucks.
I pulled the bottom dash valence but the journey to the module, above the BCM was a B****.
I used a small screw driver to lower the locking tab, and, then used the same screw driver to press the release catch for the connector.
Contortion and putting back the center console was an imperative. (I have a three seater in the front)
I, finally, got a hand in, unlocked the proper connector, plugged in the harness, and it worked!

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

      By richard wysong · Posted

      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.
