    Rearview Mirror Project Questions and Thoughts

    Got some questions for you guys and I would like to hear your thoughts. I recently picked up a 95 ECSB that is for the most part ready to roll. I'm looking at making some small modifications to kind of make it my own. One thing I have been toying with is a different rear view mirror. The one in...

    Buyer's Remorse Build

    Well. Looks like Project Buyer's Remorse may get put on the back burner for a little while. My dad has been disable for a little over 10 years now and hasn't drove in nearly that long. So, he decided to give me his truck the other day. It has a few small problems that were going to turn into...

    Buyer's Remorse Build

    As I said a couple posts back I was able to get a hold of a new to me a/c control head for the truck. That fixed alot of issues I had with the a/c system but I still did not have cold air. Saturday I was able to take it to a friend's who pulled a vacuum on the a/c system and charged it. It has...

    Buyer's Remorse Build

    Got a couple things done tonight. Cleaned her up a little. She cleans up pretty good for 20 years old. I changed out the battery terminals to get prepared to do "The Big 3". I also pulled my fender trim off and repainted them. They were nicked up pretty good from stuff being kicked up off...

    Buyer's Remorse Build

    Was able to get a little something done today. New interior door handles, bezels, and door panel clips. I also had a couple of Pioneer tweeters out of a late model Malibu from when I worked at the Chevrolet dealer, so I swapped the factories out with those.

    Buyer's Remorse Build

    This afternoon I lucked up on a used A/C control head. The one in my truck when I got it had the mounting tabs broke off, the blower motor switch wouldn't turn off, part of the lights didn't work, and the A/C and Rec. switches didn't work. Basically it was only good for heat. Haha. Was able to...

    Buyer's Remorse Build

    Not much of an update as far as pictures go but I got a couple things done to the truck this weekend. Ever since I bought it one of the right side tires has leaked down. Usually it was something that took a month to notice. Got up Saturday morning and it was completely flat. So that moved up the...

    Buyer's Remorse Build

    Had a few minutes this afternoon so I thought I'd knock out something truck related. The previous owner must have tried to do a home spray on bedliner. Seems he didn't know what he was doing cause it didn't stick and he threw a drop in liner over it. Even with the liner you could still see where...

    Buyer's Remorse Build

    Was also able to get my led bar under my tailgate this afternoon. Still need to hook up the reverse part of it but I'll wait till I put my 4" led pods under the bumper and my reverse camera so that I can hook it all up with a relay.

    Buyer's Remorse Build

    Thanks guys. Its amazing what a difference a little bit of undercoating can make. Was able to get a couple more things done today. Painted around my turn signal housings. Before: After : Can't really tell anything about the fan shroud so I didn't take pictures. When I bought the truck it...

    Damn. Sorry I asked. Thought maybe someone else had already done it and could let me know. Didn't realized I'd get jumped by the keyboard mafia.

    Rear view camera trigger wire?

    I just checked mine. The video cable does not have an extra wire to give a trigger to the head unit. That would have been nice. I guess I could run one with the video cable but was wanting to get my trigger wire from the dash somewhere. May end up easier to just run a wire with the video cable.

    '99 K1500 Suburban "Storm"

    Is this just something that's unplug one and plug in the other? Did you ever make a video of what this sounds like? I'm interested in maybe doing the same.

    Rear view camera trigger wire?

    Getting the camera itself to come on won't be a problem. The head unit has a wire on the back of it that needs power to it when in reverse so that it knows to switch the display over to camera. I've been told it's a green wire in the steering column but I don't know that for sure.

    Rear view camera trigger wire?

    I'm about to install a rear view camera and Clarion in dash I received for Christmas and was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to find a wire to trigger the radio to switch to camera. Any help would be appreciated.

    Buyer's Remorse Build

    Not much of an update, cause I don't have pics. Maybe I can get some tomorrow. When I bought the truck it had an extreme 1-2 shift. I took it to a local trans shop that I trust thinking it was gonna need TCC solenoid work which is common on these trans. After pulling the pan he determined the...

    Not sure where to post this so here goes....

    What is the largest spare tire you can mount on the factory hoist under the rear of a 96 GMC ECSB. When I bought my truck it didn't have a spare and I'm going to try and find a matching spare wheel to go under it. My truck has 285/75/16's on it and I would love to match the tire size as well but...

    Well. Another project that started off good and went south. It's all gonna work out but it's never ending with this old truck. So I posted pictures once before of the tailgate cap on my truck. Broke, stupid large screws, and not made for this truck. I decided to pull it off and add a tailgate...
