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

Filled up my tank for over 60 bucks. Thanks Joe Biden

Mine was over $100 today, and every time I fill up.

Meh. From empty, I’d be at least 150. But we are at 1.65 litre now for diesel if not more. It hurts.

If you were in Southern California it would be cheaper to have the diesel.  I have the 6.2, so my mpg isn't as fantastic as yours.

Had the Eibach kit installed today. I will say it sits so much better. Even though all four corners are not exact in height, its close enough for me not to see eyeballing it. I think the the most that one corner is off is just under 1/4". I figure there will be some settling in also.

 

I got my original springs and shocks back. They said I should just sell them. How much is a set of Ranchos and stocks springs worth? About 5k miles on them.

What's the inside look like????

It's not the update interior if that's what your wondering. I wanted to wait for that but was in a pinch and needed a new truck. It's the black leather version.

Wish I could still do that.  Over $100 for premium here in the rip-off state.

Ouch, that is painful! I try to fill up more frequently so I "feel" like it's not hitting the wallet at hard. But it still does.

I love it for the DFM disable and auto-stop disable, but had to leave the throttle response setting at stock - the transmission shifted all wonky at the more responsive settings.

Was def wondering how the truck would respond. Even if only setting to level 2 or 3. If I have to leave at stock that’s fine with me we the DFM/Auto stop is worth it

I had to put the throttle setting back to stock too. Didn't like the weird shifting either.

Late in adding the pictures. Made some upgrades in preparation for the Airstream I have on order. Added the Brembo brakes and two 1,000 pound leafs to the leaf packs. Considering changing to 20-inch wheels with E load rating/10 ply tires as well both for towing as well as the fact that I'll be spending some serious time on the dirt roads of northern Maine this summer. If there are any 20-inch wheel guys in the Chicago area looking to swap into 22-inch wheels we might be able to work out a trade. The wheels and tires in these pictures wouldn't be the ones I'd be swapping; these are my winter wheels and tires.

I put a set of Westin Pro Trax 6" Stainless steel steps on the new LTZ. While I was at it I buffed it out with Blackfire One step polish . Got rid of all the fine scratches the dumbos at the dealer put in it washing it.

It's flawless now.Screenshot_20220217-191426_Photos.thumb.jpg.10d8086aeb655805254321c13f0f78bc.jpg

      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.
