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.

When you say "catch can and clean air oil separator" that is all the same unit right? I ordered the EE catch can and want to make sure I don't need anything else.

The clean air oil separator replace the oils cap on the truck. It's a separate piece then the catch can. Check out elite engineering. You don't really need it it is optional

From what I am reading the clean side separator isn't really needed with a wet sump system like the trucks have. Definitely needed on the Corvettes with the dry sump.

 

Have you noticed any residue in the clean side separator? $100 doesn't bother me if it will help, but if it's negligible then I won't bother.

I would say it's optional. I figured it can't hurt. I've only had it on for a day and haven't driven the truck much so I haven't seen any residue. I did notice some in the lines I had going into the cold air intake. For the 100 bucks I figured I'd give it a try

I run them on my low beams and they are a billion times better than stock.

 

However, the improvement on my truck was massive because I didn't yet have the BCM voltage fix done when I changed them out, so stock was essentially no lighting at all.

Oh, I haven't had them in my fog lights, so I can't help there.

 

The BCM fix wasn't a recall, just a bulletin. In the '14 models you can go to the dealer and ask them to increase voltage to your headlights, as well as replace the bulbs, making them brighter than originally. The '15s already have this done from the factory.

I have 25w LMZ fog lights. They actually produce beautiful beam pattern from OEM housing. They also do make a difference even with my 55w DDM HIDs.

 

I am going to order some 45w LMZ knockoffs for a fraction of the cost even after shipping. I might get two sets and have them in my current fog lights. And my 25w somewhat fitted into my reverse.

I dont have a link, only a skype contact... Haha i wont be home for another 10 days anyway, I also wont order them until i am home so I can check if I can fit the 25w bulbs in there.

 

amy.sun82 is her contact. I am in Canada, but her quote for a pair of 45w is only 69.99 USD and another $30 for shipping to Canada. I imagine it would be same or cheaper in US.

 

I saw the pictures, they look identical to the LMZ, not sure what they call it though

      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.

      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.
