illuminating Bow-tie installed, dealer sticker delete, tow hitch cover installed.  Other than that stock.  Going to be ordering some Amp Power running boards (for the family) and exhaust next.  Hopefully soon :-).

Really like the look of these.... Wasn't even remotely considering them until seeing this post on the blacked out truck. Look sharp.

Looks great! What size tires are those and are you running a leveling kit? If so what size leveling kit?

Oil change, and the dreaded brake software update... installed a DU-HA under seat storage,  massive amount of storage

What leveling kit are you running? I may have to go get that this weekend. Anything done to the rear?

Just a little dress-up to the interior, Lloyd's Luxe 40oz .5" cut pile floor mats. Figured I'd post a couple pics since when I was researching buying them I couldn't find any pics of the mats in my truck.  I bought my Denali with the all weather mat's (which I love for protection) but I wanted something a little dressier during the good weather.  I'm kind of surprised how "Grey" GM's "black" carpet really is, I never noticed until I laid down the new black mats. Still looks pretty good, would look better if the truck's carpet was real black cut pile instead of grey trunk liner.

Ordered a 2” Rough Country leveling kit. Also ordered 285/65/20 BFG KO2. Will be getting installed Friday. That means my 275/60/20 KO2s will be up for sale. They have less than 5000 miles on them. PM me if interested... I’m located in GA but can ship.

Sweet! Can’t wait to see it. After my stock size ridge grapplers wear out, I want to add the trailboss lift to my LTZ and those 285/65/20 bfg ko2s. Let me know if you notice a big drop in power or more harsh ride. The fear of that held me back from doing those tires or bigger ridge grapplers originally. Thanks!

I definitely anticipate some power loss but hopefully won’t be too bad. I’ll be sure to post some pics and let y’all know how it rides

    • Google converting 98 4.3 spider injection to carburetor if all else fails. 
    • That computer lies!
    • 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.
