Just bought the truck Thursday night. 2020 AT4 with the 6.2, fully loaded etc. Went by Discount today and they threw me a killer deal on some 35x 11.50 Ridge Grapplers they had ordered for someone who never came by to install them, so I had to get them put on. So far loving the truck, all the power and frills I'll ever need. Pulled up to the office Friday morning and got nothing but compliments!IMG_2190.jpg.03337cf37ab86ffde75335e891ead465.jpg

This morning. Sitting pretty but needed something.

Thanks! I like the way your truck sits, what are your specs?

It has the GM TB lift and one additional inch in the front to decrease the rake.  I also have 35X11.50R20 Ridge grapplers.

Still waiting on my lift to show up... in the meantime I tackled some other little stuff that I’ve been wanting to do. Changed out the license plate and reverse lights for leds. Got my bed liner sprayed yesterday, and installed a Gator Tonneau cover today as well. I also got some “stake block off plates” to close up those holes in the bed.

New to the site and this is my first post. I must say, there are some FANTASTIC looking trucks in here and your mods are giving me much inspiration!

 

As my name implies, I've got the baby duramax engine so today I ordered:

1. Green and white "DIESEL FUEL ONLY" stickers off eBay to put inside the gas tank door ?  

2. AMP Research PowerSteps from 4wheelparts (this weekend is tax free and free shipping)?

 

And to catch  up on last week's items:

3. Spray-in bedliner 

4. Bakflip Fibermax Tonneau Cover

5. ProClipUSA A/C Vent-mounted iPhone Holder

 

I know #5 sounds uninspiring but it's exactly what I was wanting to do. Partially covers the a/c vent next to the gear shifter (seems to even blow too much on lowest setting). It sits easily in my view between the road and the main information screen + face recognition works like a charm from there. The gear shifter keeps my hand steady when I need to press anything on the phone. And lastly, I velcro'd a charging cord hidden along the dash/console lines to the the USB outlet which lets me charge the phone and use Apple Carplay super easily.

 

Thanks for listening... cheers!

Did a quick round trip from NY to OH and back.   475 Miles each way, got 16.7 mpg both ways, running between 70-80 pretty much the whole ride, that is 85% highway and 15% city on both ends.  I'm pretty happy with that, for sure I can get much better at 65, but I'm good with 16.7 given the "spirited" nature of the trip!  and yes I washed it when I got home.  That liquid salt they put down really makes a black truck white.

 

running 93, 6.2L, GM CAI, ridge grapplers

Installed Tonnosport roll-up tonneau cover. Very happy with the look and sleek fit. b87bc585b3e7d15d1157f709aab09f61.jpg8c472ab7ffc33875b4f406ad71b53bb2.jpg

I had mine ceramic coated at birth, everyone says the key is letting it cure as long as you can.  He did it on a Friday night and I picked it up on the Monday. When I brought it home I left it in the garage for couple days too.. now it’s crazy how I can basically rinse it and it’s looks freshly waxed.  Also found using the same brand cleaner and makes a difference.   The pic doesn’t show it but the thing looks like a mirror.

    • 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.
