    Wiper pulse board smokes

    1989 c1500 w/delay wipers. I got the ever so common 88-91 wiper issue. Looked it up, found the 92-up swaps right over. I tried this twice now, and nothing. First one was from a 98 Tahoe at the junkyard, it didn’t do anything. Second one was a brand new unit from rock auto. I ordered it for a...

    Addiction is bad, or is it?

    So on 12/19/22, I picked up yet another OBS, this time an 89 RCSB stepside C1500 w/ a 4.3 and a 5 speed. The dash is crack free, I couldn’t believe it. The trans has minimal synchros left, you need to double clutch to keep it happy, but it has 327k miles so I’d be janky too. I have already...

    98 ECSB 5 speed Z71

    While it's "technically" not a Z71, I am keeping with a similar build theme as my last. Most everyone knows the Z71 package was bilstein shocks, metal skid plates, a set of decals and probably some other menial crap no one cares about. However it will be when I am done with it, because it just...

    2000 OBS Tahoe fog light question

    I have a full harness relay, switch, and lights, except the part that passes through the firewall. My question is what do these two plugs go to? I’m putting these in my 98 Silverado, and I know the truck wasn’t born with fog lights. I know that the fuse for the fog lights is technically the DRL...

    454 TBI vs 454 Vortec OR 350 vortec?

    The point of this thread is the personal experience with the 454’s or the 350 vortec. I’m interested in replacing my ECSB 350 TBI Z71 because my stepson is taking it over with a CCLB 4x4 of the same platform. Vortec engines seem to need major repairs over their predecessors, but is that a...

    Differences in sending units?

    I replaced my sending unit in my 94 Z71 a couple years ago, and since then I noticed that according to my gauge reading on empty, my refill gallons are between 5-8 gallons shy of where it should be. Being that I have a shortbed I have a 26 gallon tank, and I should be buying 20 to 24 gallons...

    AD 244 voltage output

    I have swapped in an AD244 alternator from a Denali Envoy that I picked up at salvage almost a year ago, and it replaced the wimpy 105 amp stocker. It is the 145 amp version, and I am not sure if I have an issue or not. My aftermarket voltage gauge says 14.5 on a cold start my information is...

    Nerf bar pics, looking for n-fab specifically

    I have the iboard steps, but I need something better, something that won’t flex as much. I really like the n-fab steps, but I really want an owners input that has them or something of similar design. My truck is extended cab short bed, so preferably pics of those please.

    95 TBI dash harness work in a 94??

    I know this is a long shot, but I am hopeful for some sort of potential results. I have acquired a 98 dashboard and wiring harness. I do know the differences between the two different types of engines. So I got to thinking, I wonder if the 95 TBI dash harness would work in my favor? Does...

    94 Z71

    I bought this truck almost a year ago, and it has come a long way from what it once was. I bought it with 270,000 miles (give or take) The motor was very worn out, but I bought it for the rarity of the 5 speed MANUAL transmission. Since August 2015 I have upgraded almost everything, engine...
