I put the rail under the forward mounts notched it for the rear mount. Just need to add a bead of silicone to seal it up

Looks something like the "sail" on my old Avalanche or the "wings" on my '69 Chevelle, but a lot meaner. Like the photos show.....mean

I just bought a Sierra all terrain x and have removed the light bar/ roll bar. I'd like to sell it and price is negotiable. Text 508.509.4036 if interested. Also looking forward to learning from this site. Does anyone know what needs to be done to get cab brake light working now that light bar is removed?

I am looking to buy one of the sports bars. I have about $4-500 to spend. My dealer has one still trying to get them to give it to me for that cheap since GM pays alot less for those from the factory. Let me know

No brake light with my sports bar, but there is a hole. Recon and factory light will not fit. Did the sports bar come with the brake light?

Hey SF GMC, would you be able to post a picture please of the inside rail at the mount? Does it need to be cut, or is there enough clearance for the bed roll to roll on properly? My hubby and I just purchased a Chevy Silverado with the sport bar, and need to install a tonneau cover. We like the look of this one that you have installed...

I so want one of these for my Sierra but of course my wife thinks it's ugly.

 

Does GM make one for the Sierra?

Your wife has good taste

X2... pics of the underside if possible. I bought the Revolver with the same idea in mind. I notched the topside, not sure if the underside needs the same.

So i went ahead with this install. The rail on the top side AS WELL AS the side that marries to the inner side of the bed rail also needs to be notched. Not to bad at all, did it with a dremel tool. I will post pics later on.

 

very nice, well fitting cover when its all said and done.

I just picked up my new Sierra All Terrain X last week with the sport bars....so I am just trying to sort out what the best bet for a bed cover is now. I really like the look of the sport bars and a bed cover is essential for us.....not sure what route I want to go yet. I`m surprised GM hasnt come up with a solution yet.

I just did a BAK Revolver X2 with some minor mods to the rails around the rear sport bar mount. Came out very good.

If you could post any pictures of the notching you did that would be really appreciated!

Yea I would like to see how you did that as well. How are you sealing the sides around where you cut for water leakage

      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.
