September 23rd is the first day of fall. The autumnal equinox will occur at 4:21am and hopefully you be sleeping and miss it. Those dreaming of a 2016 Chevy Silverado should soon have more details on the new truck. Chevy's website has been promising the new face-lifted truck will roll into dealerships this fall. For details and images please see our preview story.

The new 2016 Chevy Colorado Diesel should also be arriving on those vehicle delivery trucks. We reached out to Chevy and they told us that the new Duramax Diesel trucks will also be appearing in October, which is only a week away.

As one of those waiting to order a new truck I am less informed and more irritated by these teasers. Come on GM....cut the crap and bring out the truck. I have work to do.

The 2016's can't get here quick enough. I'm looking to get out of my lease early, and roll into a 2015 Lease.....with the 16's on the lot, it may help with pricing on the 15's.....here is the deal offered....2015 GMC Elevation CC 5.3....what do you think...I think maybe we can do a little better

 

MSRP $41395
Selling Price $39380.51 This is GM Supplier Pricing
Lease Rebates $ 5400
Net Sales Price $33980.51 (Total Savings of $ 7400)
Bedliner $ 375

Not bad, but I don't follow the lease deals, the purchase deals seems to cap around 10k off.

 

After having Android Auto, I will want a 16+. (Google Music portion is pure crap, you can't select from your library, only from recent music or voice search which works flawlessly on everything BUT music).

I ordered my 2016 High Country 6.2L truck yesterday as part of the dealers group buy. No prices yet, but that will come. Best case calls for an early November delivery.

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