Those look nice! Could you post a close up? I was just thinking about getting those exact ones for my truck, but paint them to match the truck.

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

Almost 9k on this truck and I’m really enjoying it.   +1 on this forum making it even more interesting.  Did a few things over the last few months, installed the 5100s yesterday - which I would not have known about unless other owners posted here! (Was waiting for trailboss compatible fronts)  steps are coming off next, the dealer is replacing them but I’m going to sell the new ones and install some AMPs.

Looking real nice! How do you like the bilsteins compared to the trailboss monotube ranchos?

I will have done a full LED tail light upgrade on my '20 Elevation. It's scorching hot in Houston... Reaching for a cold beer.

thanks I really like them, drove all over today, around town and on bad country roads.  The rear shocks really seem to cut down or in many cases eliminate the chatter, especially when accelerating over potholes or broken road.  Speed bumps, much better.   The front feels more stable, more confident in turns.  maybe I'm paying more attention but it tracks better on curvy smooth road as well.  

I think it settled down just a tad, the body line just above the door handles always makes this truck appear to have a bit more rake than the measurements show.

My 3D matte black tailgate inserts came in today. It’s been way past due for a wash so I did a fresh detail and added my inserts. Loving this debadged look. Looks so clean

Looks good where did you get them? Mine are flat, the rounded edges look better might have to redo mine.

Your setup looks great, have been wanting to upgrade to the Eibach lifting struts and rear shocks, could you provide the part number for 2” TB rear blocks or where you purchased?  Do you know how much rake your truck had prior to installing the Eibach struts?  And how much after?  Thanks for the help.

Before I added the front Eibach struts the rear was about 2.75” higher with the 2” Traill Boss block.  Now with my front Eibach’s the rear is 1.25-1.5” higher.  I believe the Trail Boss block is 84379975, I got them from a local lift shop for $20.

      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.
