I’m not sure if it’s an optical illusion, but the front looks higher than the rear. It might be the angles or just the shape of the wheel wells. I like it though.


I think I t’s an illusion. Front is about 1/4” higher, so not noticeable in real life.

First paint correction and seal on the AT4 now that winter is over. This blue looks even better after a clay/polish/seal.

Looking to level my 2020 trail boss custom...is the ready lift kit with the control arms necessary or am I good with a procomp leveling kit?

Oh I believed you that it was level. My neighbor lifted & leveled his 2015 Sierra and had the same dilemma. “It measures equal but it looks not level.”

You cant use fender measurement to see if your level as the top of the front and rear fender might have different cut designs to it. The back or front fender might be cut higher or lower then the other from the vehicle design. The flat section of the frame from the side from the back of the front wheel and the front of the back wheel will give you a better measurement. Or you can park on a level surface using a leveler and if that's level then put it on the top of the bed rail and see what you have.

While that is true, I did a before and after in the same location at both wheel wells. My point of reference is consistent. My fronts were 39” before, rears were 41”. Now my fronts are 41.25”, rears are 41”. I did not install the rear blocks, I kept the factory. 2” lift and I gained 2.25”, so the relative measurements were good enough for my purposes because I could compare to the starting point. Hope that helps.

I don’t have any experience with the ProComp level. Personally, I wanted this kit specifically for the new control arms to maintain factory geometry. I wanted my LCA’s and CV’s to be as consistent as possible before and after the lift, and I think the UCA swap made that possible.

Finally took my ordered parts to the dealer and had them paint my door handles, mirror caps, and the radio bezel to break up some of the monotone of the interior. Will get them installed when the rain stops hopefully sometime today.

That radio bezel is going to look amazing installed. ?

Transformation Tuesday!

Had the bumpers wrapped, GM black grille kit, white mirror caps, chrome window trim wrapped in gloss black, removed Texas edition badges, and installed black “Duramax” hood emblems. 
 

included a pic from the day I bought it 1 month ago.

Installed a Swingcase on the passenger side. When it’s in it blocks the light and plug but can easily be removed.

Got some cheap stuff from amazon. $15 net....$7 key hangers for the net and $17 bullet antenna which I didn’t really like since I had to use the 7mm adapter which makes the antenna stick out too much.

Installed my ReadyLift SST on my 2020 AT4. Great instructions for install. Next decision will be what to do about tires. Perfectly leveled, 41” to the wheel well at the center of the wheel.

Very nice. How big is that lift?

      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.

      By Atlas · Posted

      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.
