If it's not hitting the caliper now, it's never going to....no need to introduce unnecessary spacers into the equation if you don't have to.  Drive that sucker!

It’s just a scary sight lol. Maybe I’ll hold off, I don’t think I’ll like the look if they stick out more. Just glad they fit though

Installed a leveling kit and ceramic coated with Carpro C.quartz.

It’s hard to tell, is that Dark Sky Metallic? Maybe Smokey Quartz?

Hey! I'll check the antenna on my way in tomorrow, I don't listen to FM much but I'll let you know.

I used floss and Goo Gone for the small Sierra, fishing line and the 3M eraser wheel for the large GMC. I used a heat gun as well (very carefully). The eraser wheel is awesome, just don't burn your clear.

The LEDs I got spares from a buddy but here they are on Amazon...AUXITO 194 LED Light Bulb 6000K White Super Bright 168 2825 W5W T10 Wedge 24-SMD 3... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071LHP5WP/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_i_Mag9CbD64FR0C

I'm loving the exhaust, it's very quiet at idle but sounds great when you get on it. Much deeper sound than my Flowmaster 40 series I had on my previous truck, even though it was louder.

It's Smokey Quartz, I'm really liking the color shift or smokey effect it has.

New wheels.... Hated the fact that GM made the AT4 all black then put silver/grey wheels on it...  Vision 18 x 8.5  0mm offsett (to clear the calipers) 

I still need to custom paint the chrome center cap.

 

I've also debadged the truck...  painted the exhaust tips, and will be installing a 2" level and 3" block kit this week..

 

In place of the chrome AT4 badges I'm going to have some vinyl graphics in the same design in dark grey and red(to match the rims, more metallic looking red ) for the oem location on the doors only.  tailgate will remain clean... It looks great blanked out...  

 

Flowmaster 40 muffler

 

waiting for my magnum lo-pro headache rack to arrive as well...

    • 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
    • Google converting 98 4.3 spider injection to carburetor if all else fails. 
    • That computer lies!
    • 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.
