Yup, original order placed January 2022, got cancelled from GM to re-order as a 2023 in August 2022.  Stop order on 2023's happened in November 2022 for 2024 changeover.  I havent re-ordered a 24 yet due to to stupid interest rates.  So I am waiting now for the market to soften to lessen the financial blow to my trade-in depreciation and increased new truck cost.  I am fortunate in that I dont need a truck for business or as a daily.  So, I can wait this out a bit longer if need be.

Yuck. Yeah I'm in no rush either, I am planning to wait for however long it takes to get the truck I want but…"never" is not an acceptable timeframe lol 

 

I don't understand why they bother offering certain options when they're not at all prepared to provide trucks built with those options to more than like five people.

Stupid question - but is there anywhere online to see what the animated tail lights look like?

Who knows, I know the dealerships dont either.   I understand the turmoil during the scamdemic, and subsequent supply chain issues.  I would think this should start shaking itself out in the coming months.  Fewer people are buying, and GM has to produce, so the scales "should" start tipping in our favor.  But, supply chain is still an issue across many industries so the return to "normal" will be a slow one.

Looks good!  I think my order is the same truck and it's getting to my dealer this week.  I am sorta bummed about the animated taillights though to be honest.  It was actually a selling point of the package.

I used to have a video of it I found on Youtube that I sent to the dealer, but it shows that it's no longer available.  So I guess nope not anymore.  All the videos I can find are for the headlights.

I was more bummed that the reverse and tag lights are incandescent. SMH, led replacements on the way!

 

Taillight type depends on trim 

(incandescent/led/led animated)

I am aware, but also on availability. I have a pretty well loaded LTZ. The rest of the light is LED. Only the reverse bulbs and tag lights are incandescent.

Wait, the LTZ taillights are NOT fully LED? I thought they were...

They are LED, with the exception of the reverse light. It is an incandescent bulb. I have already ordered led replacements for them.

Wuuuut, that sucks. I was convinced I was getting a superior lighting setup with Chevy over Ford because Ford's tail lights are not LED, but their reverse lights ARE. I guess it's not a big deal to upgrade either one (tail bulbs or reverse) but having LED reverse lights stock is more important to me 🫤

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      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.
