Phil knows what the hell he’s talking about. I have a ‘14 so I also had to install the RZY harness. I got my mirrors from 1A and with Phil’s harness everything went really well and I only had to ask him a few questions and also remind myself that their is an end to this madness. I have a fully functional set of power fold tow mirrors on my truck now and they work like a dream as my family and I are traveling with a 30’ travel trailer behind us. They were a necessity and I am grateful for his quick reaction to my questions about the RZY harness. Couldn’t have done it without him.

We started in South Texas and went to the ozark mountains (Arkansas) and are now in NC at the great smoky Mountains.

All,   Due to the overwhelming interest in folks wanting to upgrade their mirrors, I wanted to start this thread, hopefully, with all the information pertaining to the process of upgrading y

For those that are curious on the work involved with the harness modification, I've created and uploaded a Time Lapse Video of the process. The original post has been updated and the video link is at

I know your on vaca right now, Looking to purchase some tow mirrors Thinking about picking the Mirror Pair Trail Ridge TR00082 - 1AMRP01786e  after watch your you tube video.  I have a 16 2500 SLE. No blink or anything in the small mirrors now. I think Ill need your harness to make it all work in new mirrors. When you get time let me know if I am missing anything to get these on my truck.

Merry Christmas and Happy new year

Hey - Yep, should be Plug and Play with my harnesses. I can send ya payment instructions and you’ll be first in line on harness builds when I return. I’ve got a couple of Center Console orders I received but those are ready to ship. This means lead time will be fairly wick once I return. I’ll be working on orders on 1/2.

I used to need the mirrors but now have the pigtails for you to make a minor circuit re-pin.

Thanks for all the feedback guys!  Feedback and Customer Satisfaction are extremely important to me.  I take great pride in what I put out there and offer the best support possible.
 
With that being said, I will be on taking some time off during Christmas to be with Family.  My responses during this much needed time off might be delayed.  So please plan accordingly.  
 
Thanks again everyone!

Phil enjoy the holidays god bless happy holidays to all.

      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.

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