Looks pretty easy with a trim tool. Ya gotta skip past some of his intro garbage, but this is the video I watched. I got some Satin White Pearl vinyl coming to wrap all of my chrome for the same damn reason.

 

 

 

 

 

@DirtyAndygot it. I was going to post this video. He's got some other good videos that were super helpful to. Just be patient and careful. Pay close attention to where he shows you that the tabs are. I will post the kit I bought on Amazon later when I can find it. @BlackRST

I will find the link for these as well. I got them on Amazon. Were you the one that asked me about this a long time ago when I originally posted?  If so I apologize, I get so busy and forget to come back and respond.. I also owe someone an answer to the flag decal. My wife found it on etsy but I can't find it now.

No worries man! Life happens. I think I may have, but I also scroll through hundreds of posts a week on here checking things out. Whenever! I'm going to work on a two flag set up this set of days off I think. Running two American flags until my WORKFORIT flag comes in.

Put a magnaflow 11229 on and deleted the rear flapper. Sounds great on the outside but gets pretty loud around 1600 RPM while accelerating. I might go back to stock.

I woke up this a.m and put on Putco door sill protectors. I was at lake house last weekend and dropped the laptop and the rear passenger door seal and it put a huge dent in it!  Tried carrying too many things in my hands at once.

 

Oh well, all fixed now. Only thing I don't like about them is that they were supposed to say Silverado on them. Not huge deal, but still wished they did.

Trying to upload pics of door sills but says I can only upload 4.88MB.   

 

The picture is only 2.5MB

I have found that when I use my mobile phone to upload on the website it doesn't really allow you to upload more than 1 picture at a time. I downloaded the Tapatalk app and can select multiple pictures.

Were you able to hook that up without using the bunker hookups for towing?

Hey Ryan, Does that really help with backing up at night or just for looks?  I'm considering adding one to my 2020.

It does help but I didn’t get it for this. Mainly for the visibility (turn signals and brakes) for other “distracted” drivers

    • 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.
