Hello everyone, I'm not new to GM vehicles and actually I found my self a loyal buyer. all my trucks were GM made. however this is the first time I bought a high luxury trim.

 

first thing I have done is installing a cover for the center console. it's really comfy.

Second thing is removing side badges, every badge on the car except the front and rear black bowties which I already installed. As well tinted the top quarter of the front window.

I also installed Bakflip VP bed cover and looks nice on my truck. the only disadvantage is when I want to close the cover, I need to open the tailgate door! which is not practical enough especially when I lock my vehicle.

Here is a list of what I bought:

1: Armrest cover from Ebay the user is: cassina177

2: Steadfast 14-inch antenna P/N 10209

3: DiabloSport T1000 Trinity

Was in Qatar for a short period a couple of months ago. That's a beautiful truck and look forward to seeing what all you do to it.

The headliner and A pillars are light brown, the seats are a dark brown, the dash is another shade of brown, and with a light wood grain in the center console?

How do you like the 6.2L? I have it in my 14 High Country brownstone color. I love it!

the 6.2L with 8 speed is fabulous, smooth and powerful, most of my friends saying it feels like you're riding a luxury sedan.

10 Horns installation. well this was tricky used the factory horn relay as only trigger not drawing amps from it because it can't handle the draw of 10 horns! the horns are (2 Stock horns tune + 4 note old gm caddilac horns + FIAMM 2 tone horns (which is the best) + 2 tones stabel horns) I made a horn switch under the hood alwys ON now :D it connects the 6 horns with the 4 old gm horns because they draw lots of amps.

    • 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.
