I’ve been looking all over the internet to purchase the chrome High country grille and lower bumper for my RST. I don’t want just the grille inserts I’d like the whole grille area including the yellow bowtie. Just like the one pictured.

For a High Country grille, you'd need to get a VIN from a High Country truck (look at dealers online) then call GM parts direct, Genuine GM parts, GM parts headquarters etc., give them VIN, they'll give you part number, then google part number and compare prices.  Add to cart and check shipping.  The High Country will have the front camera in the grille.   I changed my grill to an LTZ grille on my RST doing the same.  I used my black bowtie and removed the yellow one.   I used an LTZ VIN without camera.  Perfect fit.

Not all High Country’s have the front camera either so I would order off of a lower equipped example.

I called the dealer to get a price on a black RST grill last week and it was like $800...lol

 

I'll just stick with the black accessory grill.

That's the dealer.  Full blown retail.  Get the part number and search it.  It'll be much cheaper.  Is the RST grill factory painted or paint to match?

Nope. That was with my discount.

 

I might just get one of my shops to paint mine black.

Even with the discount you can get it cheaper. Get the part number.

Do you happen to have the part number for that grille because it’s the same one I want I just didn’t want the middle bumper chrome that’s why I said high country?

Are these high country wheels. Also thought the high country come with different marker light or LED drl

The two are different. The High Country grill has some bronze accents in the grill bars, and is stamped “High Country” on one side. MAFD2’s is an LTZ grill, which would look better on a “non High Country” truck IMO.

Those are the steel transit wheels. The dealer installs the 22s when it arrives. And the headlights / DRLs are slightly different but very very hard to tell. It’s not as easy to spot as the difference between high and low trim trucks on the K2 platform.

One reason I don't like black wheels.  Reminds me too much of the 60's/70's/80's steel wheels (like the transit wheels) that have lost their hub caps or wheel covers .

I’m with you but I think we are in the minority there...

    • 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
    • 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.
