    Aftermarket Latch for ext cab side windows?

    Thanks! that's exactly what I was looking for! However, I noticed there was some play in the stock one so I just ordered a new latch along with some other parts I had to get anyway, maybe it will help... I pretty much never open the window and I've heard coating the seal in clean oil, latching...

    Aftermarket Latch for ext cab side windows?

    I have a 96 c1500 with bad wind noise from one side with all new hardware, except seal, but if you pull slightly it stops. I remember seeing some aftermark latches that had very slightly longer arms to create a stronger lock for this particular issue, but I can't find them anywhere now that I...

    My first foray into front suspension.

    It's definitely 2wd. Currently there is about 5"s of play in my steering wheel before the wheels are even nudged. It looks like 99% of that is because of the rag joint. So ANY kind of improvement in steering is going to feel massive right now I think haha. I have been considering doing the...

    My first foray into front suspension.

    My front tires are having cupping problems(I suspect wheel bearings), but I know the ball joints etc are also pretty aged/worn. I decided to go balls deep in this and make it a learning experience. Most of it seems pretty straight forward and ordered quite a few parts to get started. Parts I...

    Need Ac help

    Drop the blower and see if it spins outside of the dash. There may be some leaves/sticks/rat nest in the housing keeping it from turning, it doesn't take that much resistance to stop it from turning.

    Finding driver door panel on 96?

    I've tried my local junkyards, interiors are all stripped, the bigger junkyards strip them themselves and sell them on Ebay and they are sold by the time I see them. That's great to know, I almost bought one of these that was repairably damaged, glad I missed it now. That would have been OCD...

    Finding driver door panel on 96?

    I've had a hard time finding a decently priced Tan driver door panel for my truck. Could someone tell me what all models and vehicles I could search to find a match? Would 99+ panels fit and also look ok where the dash mates up? I'm even willing to try the '94 style panels, since those are...

    Rear Wheels out of alignment?

    "cupping" is definitely what happened. The shocks are fairly stout still and it's a solid axle, I could see shocks causing it on the front, but the back seems odd to me in this scenario. I only suspect the housing because I don't know what all might cause this, and there is no telling what was...

    Rear Wheels out of alignment?

    I took my truck in to have all 4 tires swapped, but I noticed the old back ones had odd wear on the inside of the tires. It was like every other nub was worn vs the one beside it? So it felt bumpy when i ran my hand over it, because some of them were noticeably taller than the others. What would...

    Need to know Bed Sizes

    I own an extended cab and I THINK it has the same bed size as the shortbed single cabs, is this correct? Are there only Shortbed and Longbed? or does Extended cab have it's own bed size? If it is shortbed, would I be able to throw on a stepside from any GMT400 easily?

    Cruise control acting oddly.

    Maybe, it feels like it fully depresses though. I may start with the stick since the wear on it bothers me anyway haha, get a nice new shiny one in the process of hunting this down. It's 30 miles of highway driving to any civilization for me, so cruise is extremely convenient.

    Cruise control acting oddly.

    Still haven't fixed this issue. I've found now that on long uphill pulls it shuts itself off as well. I've adjusted the cable tension to take slack out of the cable and that didn't seem to make any difference. My only suspect would be either a faulty multifunction maybe, or the cruise control...

    Cruise control acting oddly.

    It works for the most part, but it will randomly lose speed. For instance, I will have it set at 75mph on the highway and it will suddenly drop itself down to 63-65 and stays there. The only way to fix it seems to be to turn it off wait about 5 seconds and set it again. What could be causing...

    Cleaning House Misc. Parts #1

    Hopefully you are still keeping up with this thread, I was wondering how much for a Tan overhead console. I think the one marked H is the right color.

    95-98 LH Door Panels, can't find them.

    Hmm, I really want to avoid sets as the Passenger side is fine. I may have to go that route though. I guess I could always resell the passenger one...
