Hey all, After waiting about 2 years I finally broke down and had my two front windows tinted at 35%. I know it may not match with the rear ones but I like it alot! Here is a few snaps of it.

Here in PA they won't let us do the front windows :D

 

I've got a Jimmy w/ a similar type of grill guard, but chrome. Looks much better in black. Time to break out the sand blaster & get mine powder coated (or maybe Rhino liner it ??)

Looking good :) !! The ZR2 lineup was one of my favorites (I had a 2000 S10 ZR2 Blazer and enjoyed every minute of owning it). The only reason I got rid of it was that I missed having a truck for hauling.

 

All three of my vehicles are tinted. I honestly don't think I could drive a car with no tint since I had them for so long. I just wish NC would let us go darker :fume: (legally).

Yeah, I have kept it really clean over the past 4 years of ownership. There is rust starting to show on the frame and even on the bottoms of the doors but I do plan to have the frame and everything on the underside redone and probably new doors, tailgate and box done on the truck when its payed off. I plan to keep it and turn it into show truck.

      Enjoy the new truck, it’s a beauty. I’m glad you’re keeping the OBS, I love those old trucks.

      With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.
