    Using Fabtech knuckles with RC lift

    I’m wondering if I can use the lift knuckles that come in the Fabtech or similar lift kits instead of my stock ones to maybe help with some front end angles since to get to the full 6” of lift with the RC kit you need to crank the keys a little. Has anyone ever done anything like this? Thanks in...

    NBS lower controls arms on an OBS

    i remember hearing or reading somewhere that it is possible. i was just wondering if anyone has ACTUALLY done it and can give some personal insight. i have a 6" rough country lift but that doesnt affect the lower controls arms and ive got pro comp dual shock brackets up front so i dont use the...

    keyless entry

    Yes I’m getting feedback from the keyless entry box via flashes from the LED connected to it when I hit the buttons

    keyless entry

    This is how I wired it. I’ve confirmed I’m getting all the correct readings to the connectors going into the relays

    keyless entry

    still no luck with the keyless entry. i followed the wiring diagram exactly. ive got power. ive got ground. ive got a signal from the lock and unlock wires when i press the switch manually and i get feedback from the remote start box itself with LED flashes

    keyless entry

    that's what i thought but ive got nothing so idk if i should re tap elsewhere but if it should work where i have it now then it has to be something other than the door lock connections

    keyless entry

    yeah inside the door panel it was blue to lock and white to unlock so maybe if i just tap into there instead of where i have it it'll work

    keyless entry

    alright so i wired everything up today and it's not working. i tapped the connector that plugs into the lock/unlock button itself on inside the driver door im thinking that this is where i went wrong. i couldnt find anywhere else to hook into for the 87 pin on each relay

    keyless entry

    ok got it yeah i just looked at the wiring diagram for the remote start box one wire is for unlock output and the other is for lock output so i would just match those with the lock relay. i really appreciate it i never thought id be able to get this done there is NOTHING anywhere on google about...

    keyless entry

    awesome information thank you so much! so a constant 12v to 85 pin on each relay, ground to 86 on each, the two wires from the remote start box for keyless entry one goes to 30 on each relay, and then 87 goes to the lock relay and do they get spliced together and then tapped into the relay or...

    hey guys, truck is a 98 k1500 with power locks and i got my remote start in it works great. next step is to try and figure out the keyless entry. i vaguely remember hearing that something needs to be done with relays in order to get the keyless entry to work properly. if anyone has some light to...

    Remote start, keyless entry, and alarm system

    Looking to install a remote start, keyless entry, and alarm system on my 1998 gmc k1500. I’ve look around online and may go with a Viper kit. I’m wondering what else I’ll need besides the kit itself with the remotes and whatnot if anything like a security bypass or something if that applies to...

    3” RC upper controls arms on a 6” lift

    Yeah the whole problem is that rough country’s 6” lift is really like a 5.125” so in order to get the truck level you’ve got to crank and almost overcrank the keys

    3” RC upper controls arms on a 6” lift

    Looking to improve the angles of my front end. Was wondering if anyone has ever used rough country’s 2-3” lift upper controls arms on a truck with their 6” lift installed. I can’t do the ball joint flip because of the way my dual shock setup is mounted. I was also looking into tall ball joints...

    6 inch RC lift HELP

    Prepare for a rant: The problem is the rough country “6 inch suspension kit”. It is not a true 6 inch lift and the front measures to something like 5.125” instead of 6” like a BDS or Fabtech lift would measure to. The 4” lift and the 6” lift from rough country are exactly the same except for the...

    regearing tips

    ive got a 1998 k1500 z71 with 3.42s and a 14 bolt rear. i was going to try and find axles with 4.10s to swap but im not sure if ill be able to so i might just regear to 4.56s for a 4 inch suspension lift (on top of the body lift i already have) and run 35s. i have some buddies that will help...

    regearing questions and help

    Thanks for all the replies. I'll look into 4.56s at the least maybe. I do have an intake and dual exhaust. The most I've hauled in either my atv in the bed or a couple of atvs on my friends trailer. I mostly do around town driving but with school and maybe a new job I'll be doing some highway also

    regearing questions and help

    i have a 1998 k1500 with stock 3.42 gears and a 14 bolt rear with 33s currently. Instead of doing a solid axle swap since I don’t do that much crazy off-roading i want to just regear to be able to run 35s. I have a 3 inch body lift and previously tried to run 35s so i have the fenders and bumper...

    The Body Lift Thread

    i did the same lift on my 98 k1500 ext cab and i used some rubber tubing to extend my filler neck after the body lift. did you extend the filler neck? i never had a problem since i extended the filler neck the same time as the rest of the body lift

    gas gauge not working

    i metered the plug last night and got around 48 ohms so i guess i have a half of a tank. i think im just going to suck it up and drop the tank again and see if the float is stuck because ive never had the dash apart or anything for it to be something in the cluster
