Please do. Your input will be greatly appreciated. 

Ok. So I can confirm it does interfere with the front parking sensors. All 4 of them. There is the parking assist switch which turns it off. The dealer screwed up and cut the plastic in the wrong place for the mounting brackets. That part is on backorder so I have until then to decide if I want a grill guard or front parking assist. 
I back my truck in most places so front parking sensors aren’t really a big deal for me. The rear still work fine and instrument panel tells you which sensors are going off so all intents and purposes I think I’ll keep the grill guard. Having that protection on Montana interstates is more important than front parking assist. 
Does not affect adaptive cruise, pre collision, or lane departure. That is controlled by the camera in the rear view mirror assembly.

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

Also I believe there is a relocation kit for those sensors, I will look into that and report back with my findings.

I found this, I emailed Westin to see if this corrects all 4 or just the center ones. As soon as I get a response I’ll holler.

 

Oh, and the mounting brackets mount opposite of the recovery hooks! So you don’t lose those, I though for sure they would use the same spot but Westin nailed it on that one(minus cutting the plastic) lol

Looks good! Did you add a leveling kit to your AT4? Also what size tires did you go with?

Yes, I went with the Rough Country 2” kit. As far as tire size goes, it came with the 18” wheels w/Goodyear DuraTracs but I traded them at my local shop for the factory 20”s w/ BFG KO2 285/65/20. No trimming, I haven’t done any off-roading to see if they touch anywhere at full use, but as far as city driving goes, no rub whatsoever at full turn. 
 

I am trying to not spend as much money on this truck, as my last was modified more than any other vehicle I have owned. Lift, wheels and tires, re-gear, headers, full exhaust, tuned, etc.

Nice! That looks pretty much perfect. For my LTZ, I eventually want those same tires with the GM 2” Lift and a 1.5” level (or an equivalent 3rd party solution). This week, I just got a 1” level and non-LT 275/60r20 ridge grapplers to hold me over for a while.

Finally installed the Z71 grille badge that I have had for months and no you don't have to remove the grille to install!

Would you be able to grab a quick measurement (Length x Height x Depth) of the LED housing? I am trying to see if I can retrofit this for the Sierra grille.

Thanks

      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.
