Best 8 inch wheel trim rings
No idea on the part #. You're talking seriously obsolete parts by now anyway, the only market I'm aware of would be the used market. Hit up a boneyard, FB marketplace, craigslist.. again, in this particular style there's only one choice in 15", and one in 16". They look the same other than...- someotherguy

Power window nose diving
There's a couple 10mm-head bolts that hold the front window channel in. It's real easy to forget the bolts when re-assembling, and it will cause the window to fall forward. I've also seen it mangle the window regulator scissor assembly if it doesn't get corrected. Richard- someotherguy

VIN Decoder
I mean.. GM did make 'em.. Half a life ago (or longer actually) I rented a house that had an old Frigidaire in it. Still worked great, other than it was pre-"frost free" era so you had to mine the ice out of the freezer every now and then. Cool old emblems those fridiges had. Many variations...- someotherguy

1992 Factory CD Player
Pretty cool options! I've seen a lot of these trucks and have never seen this setup in any of them. Closest I've had in "old school" changers was when I bought my '92 in.. '99? It had a Sony 6 disc changer under the driver's seat. It was old and full of dog hair, but once cleaned up, it...- someotherguy

1994 C1500 4L60E no shift and no speedo
The tricky thing about reconfiguring the two bank DRAC is the settings are inverse of each other, if that makes sense. Take a look at the one I pictured with the case open - and imagine the jumper postions like this: 7654321 1234567 So in the example pic, FIRST bank - 7,6,5,4,3 are "on" and...- someotherguy

1994 C1500 4L60E no shift and no speedo
Haven't looked that deeply into it but that one wire might be for other (non-GMT400) applications; my 1994 had cruise and so did the 1994 I have the spare dash from sitting in my garage (the one I just took the pic of the DRAC from a few minutes ago) - no second single-wire connector in that...- someotherguy

Best 8 inch wheel trim rings
Those are the regular trim rings that came on the 15" GMT400 steel wheels. They only made two sizes - 15" and 16" - and only one width. Richard- someotherguy

1994 C1500 4L60E no shift and no speedo
A 1994 GMT400 doesn't use that other connector. I just looked through a bunch of pics from my (now sold) 1994 and it's a little hard to tell from most of the angles, but I don't see it - in this pic I'd cut a small hole in the glovebox compartment and poked the wires through so I can have the...- someotherguy

VIN Decoder
Of all the parts trucks I tried to pull VIN reports for, the early years were always the ones that were likely to have no results at all - but I was surprised that a '97 Tahoe didn't come back. I was able to get the service inquiry that had practically nothing on it except the rotors getting...- someotherguy

1994 C1500 4L60E no shift and no speedo
Just to set your mind at ease on that behavior - it's normal. Plugging the bypass wire back in will advance roughly around 12° which will be off the tab. I know you said you checked the fuses and it does sound like you've been pretty thorough, but did you actually pull the associated fuses and...- someotherguy

Lug nut/wheel identify
If the lug hole is 15mm that's a pretty good indicator those are meant for 14mm studs, which is what your truck has. All the GMT400 trucks whether 2WD or 4WD, 1500, 2500, and 3500 (with exception of the GMT455 3500HD) have 14mm studs. I'll second RoadTrip's advice of taking it by a tire/wheel...- someotherguy

Lug nut/wheel identify
I don't think those are Alcoas - most of the ones I've seen are forged wheels; the ones you have there appear to be cast. There were several brands offered in that style. The wheel has as much to do with lug nut choice as the wheel stud does. The stud size and threads matter, yes, and the...- someotherguy
