I like the idea but I don’t like losing the auto high beams. I’m gonna try to figure a way to do it and keep the autoHB.

That setup allows for auto high beams... I wouldn’t have done it if it didn’t.

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

Quarantined means, work on the truck, lol...

 

 

Installed:

Auto Stop Eliminator - sooooo worth the money!

 

Jumper to allow the fog lights on with the headlights - that was really bothering me.

 

Blackened all the badging - still have to do the front but I ordered black and white gel coated American Flag emblems to cover the red, so waiting on that to arrive. (See pics of other emblems)

 

Installed grip tape on the awesome off-road side steps. (See pics)

So if I keep my lights set to “auto” will this kit allow the fogs to come on with the auto lowbeams?

What? I thought it wouldn’t because they don’t work when the fog lights are on. Do you get a fog light indicator on the dash when they’re on?

I believe so, but to be honest I’d have to check next time I’m driving at night. Never really payed attention to the dash lights because I have heads up display so no need really lol. Before you ask, yes I do know that the lights work as stated... fogs are always on when the headlights are on and stay on when the auto high beams activate.

 

You should watch the videos on the Boost site that I posted... they have great info on this easy little mod.

Oh this mod is for fog lights on while high beams are on. I had it confused for fog lights on without having to push the button every time you drive it.

No, you’re still confused... this mod is for having the fog lights on every time the lights are on. And they stay on when the high beams go on with auto high beams.

Yeah I still am. How does it achieve that if you’re connecting the high beam trigger wire to the fog light trigger wire? How does that automatically enable fog lights in low beam without pushing the button?

I saw their video and and read the question as to whether “intellibeam” still works but I can’t process it knowing how this jumper works.

If you could verify that when your fog lights are on the “A” high beam is also on at night, I’d appreciate it.

Go to the same site as above but click on the all lights mod. under chevy/gmc. This will not effect the auto high beam. There are two different mods. One is for fogs on all the time, the other one is for fogs on any time the fog light switch is activated or when you select high beams. The lows will also come on when you select high beams.

Got it. Just picked up a diode at RadioShack (if you can believe that). I’ll be trying it today.

So, I just watched this install video and looking at whats included with the kit...any reason why I can't scrounge up a few pieces from inside my garage and make this myself? Its basically 2 quick splice connectors and 1 wire to connect the wires off the 2 identified pins? Anything I'm missing here?

      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.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      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.
