    Speedometer higher than actual.

    Edited to remove question already answered Will any soldered 6 pin work? The only part of this I presently have any experience with is the actual soldering lol. Presently the speedometer doesn't jump around at all, just a flat % higher than actual speed vs gps (hence it being father from...

    Bump, have looked into this more, and I can't figure out what I need to update in the computer to match the existing tires that I have, and what I need to update it with. Only that I need to do it! A link from another post is broken that may of given me more information .Local mechanics have no...

    Tools needed for my 95 c3500hd 7.4L dually?

    My wife got me a m18 impact drill/driver for Christmas, so of I can find the m12 brushless on discount locally I will go that route, or I may wait for the newer ones to come out and just get the extended reach version. I think this thread is convincing me to not buy sub-par tools more than...

    First truck owner, 95 GMC c3500HD flatbed

    After having the former GM mechanic comb it over Monday, getting the frame sandblasted to make sure it's sound and handling the basic maintenance on it the plan is to use it to load/unload items from dock to dock mostly. I'm fortunate that the bed is already 48", so no loft gate should be...

    Tool organization sounds more daunting than buying tools! I truly lack that in my life. After I struggle finding the right parts a bit I am sure ill figure out how to organize as I go. I have an open carport presently so I'm rocking tool bags I can take inside for now .

    This is the second recommendation for cordless tools. My youtubing makes me think the Ryobi brushless 1+ extended reach is the best bang for my buck, even though it's half the RPM of the Milwaukee.

    Tools needed for my 95 c3500hd 7.4L dually?

    I've been on both sides of debt, and being in debt sucks. For the first time in 18 years I went into debt to help start our small business. I could have been reimbursed already, but we wouldn't be scaling nearly as fast and we wouldn't have this "stepping stone on wheels". Any tools I buy are...

    Tools needed for my 95 c3500hd 7.4L dually?

    From what I have researched so far from your post, it seems like I need to focus on high quality ratchets and torque ratchets, a Multimeter, Jacks/stands, and then move towards sockets, as well as impact drill specific sockets so I can get the expensive stuff out of the way first to reduce my...

    I heard "yes, a breaker bar is a rigged custom made tool to get the job done"!

    Tools needed for my 95 c3500hd 7.4L dually?

    You are correct in the cost going well over the vehicle's QUICKLY. Initially ot seems I will focus on used sockets/hand tools. As schurkey said I (created a Facebook) looked on fb marketplace and have 2 people ill meet over the next few days to potentially buy their old tools. I say potentially...

    Silly question, is a breaker bar a "cheater bar"?

    Tools needed for my 95 c3500hd 7.4L dually?

    I downloaded the manual yesterday, and it was slightly overwhelming shifting through it since it has a lot of information not pertaining to my truck, but I plan on cropping the pdf to what applies to me within the week. When it comes to square heads, will the 8 point double square sockets do...

    Hello GMT400! I am a new truck owner (GMC Sierra C3500HD 454 7.4L with 5 speed manual.. nv4500?, Flat hydraulic dump bed), and I have no idea what tools I will need to work on my truck besides the oil filter wrench band thingy (from basic maintenance to replacing/upgrading parts). I do have a...
