Bought this truck this past Thursday in Ohio. 2015 Silverado LTZ with the 6.2L V8. I have many plans for this truck and I absolutely love this thing!

Nice!  How many miles are on it?  Don't forget the transfer case fluid.  Easy to change out and the ATL comes in a squeeze pack which makes it easy to do.

Got the intake tube installed. Sure does make a difference in engine noise, and I love it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sure did. A guy I used to work with asked me if I wanted to sell it, but I don’t want to. I’ll have it until the wheels fall off.

Removed the bow tie from the tailgate, and replaced the LTZ emblem with a 6.2L emblem.

Awesome choice!

Thinking about lifting it anytime in the future or just plan on keeping it stock?

I have a 1.5” leveling kit for it sitting in my basement. That’s about the extent of my lift kit. Lol!

Coming from leveling to lifting same truck, I’d recommend buying the Bilstein front adjustable shocks, the spacers “WILL” give your truck a much rougher ride especially adding larger size tires too. Just food for thought.

I agree it will get rougher. Ive had up to a 2 inch before and didn't like it because it was so rough. I'll put the spacer on for now but in the future I want to do the Bilstein front shocks as well as rear ones.

In the future, look into a well built lift. The levels will always put your suspension at bad angles but well built and reputable lift kits keep everything perfect angles. CST 4.5” lift, Zone, BDS all offer great bang for your buck with my favorite being CST, (IMO) Zone being the lowest cost. Big difference in ride quality from stock to level and from level to lifted. Good luck to you, enjoy that bad boy!

This past weekend I got the leveling kit installed as well as the Husky floor liners. I decided to order the Motofab 1” leveling kit and install it over the 1.5” I had already bought. I’m glad I went with the 1” because the truck does look better and it barely affected the ride quality. I plan on towing with this thing at some point so I don’t want to take all of the rake out of it anyway.

      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.
