Could.be wrong but looks like the HUD unit could fit with minor trimming and not have to cut the dash. Then just cut small square out to the plastic filler panel?

Spent almost 3 week trying to figure out how not to cut my dashboard, and all scenarios there was no way it would have fit more perfect than the way I did it., main reason I did it this way was so that if one day my HUD goes bad I don’t have to redo this 7ede012633b291f9282137332b5eae0c.jpg
Now the way I modified it, I can just loosen the hud retainers/screws without removing the entire dashboard.
The HUD itself is pretty big and it wasn’t meant to be in our trucks so I had to modify the best way possible I thought it could serve me for future complications. Beside the new Tahoe/Silverado visor I created makes it look like a Tahoe/Yukon cluster visor hood. It give it a more oem look and that’s my personal opinion.ab4837773cfff86bc784693f04c8d395.jpg I made it out of carbon fiber.

For this mod. The windshield needs to be replaced???  What if there is the red flashing hud warning light?  Does that mean you have the right windshield?

Check your windshield for hud acoustic sticker if it does have them you have the right one., keep in mind that 14-18 Silverado or Sierras didn’t come equipped with HUD functions.

So this modification could be ultra-expensive. It would be interesting to see what the costs are for all of the components and what it would take for labor to tear your dash apart and then rebuild it seems like a lot of work for not much additional if any information

Ok guy I have the visor from Viktorrocks15. I am going to attempt this HUD install tomorrow. I have a guy working on reproducing the HUD hood. I am not looking to make anything off the sale of the hoods. When I here back from the guy working on the mold. I will let you know who he is and I will let you deal directly with him. If this is something you are interested in? Post something on here saying so. Just so I can let him know he may have other customers other than me. I am having mine covered in brown leather to match the rest of my interior.

      You could try a used 1, they used that engine in the Astro vans, Plenty of them in the boneyard. Look for a wrecked or rotted 1 so the chance that it was scrapped for that reason and not a mechanical issue will be greater

      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.
