    Two double din radios

    They make a Double DIN adapter. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/metra-dash-kit-for-select-1988-1994-gm-suv-full-size-trucks-black/5803726.p?skuId=5803726&ref=212&loc=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw3v3YBRCOARIsAPkLbK74a1gQ4HuCriF0_Faq3Qxaw3-X3USdFMK9Gj5tfZzazW2LTmHYS3gaAgIFEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds And a photo I...

    Two double din radios

    I installed a Pioneer AVH-1330NEX with a rear view camera. It has Apple CarPlay and it works great. I wish it had tactile buttons for Forward/Back and a rotary volume, but I can’t complain too much because it is a great unit. https://imgur.com/gallery/GiWcK I installed the USB cable in the...

    Overhead consoles in a single cab - 2 door ...

    Rob, I agree on that. I just put an LED in the main dome lamp as well as the floor lights, and it is nice and bright. I figure, I am putting them into the truck, why not get the functionality? I wonder how hard it would be to get it working. Sewlow, that is amazing! That would make it nice and...

    Overhead consoles in a single cab - 2 door ...

    Question... Doing this, will the Map Lights come on with the dome lamps (switch and door), and then indiviually with the switches on the map lights?

    GMT400s in the Movies

    “OH! MY! GOD!” This freaking movie was silly all the way around, but was a favorite. Google says it is an 88 RCSB. From Big Fat Liar From what I saw, they used the same truck in “Weird Science.” But without the logos on the side. One was also used in the movie “Selena”. After she is...

    Difference between GMC and Chevy headlights?

    Thanks for the links! I appreciate it. I’ll take a look. Right now, I cant see at night because it feels like the lows aren’t even on. Highs are just under what the lows are supposed to be. I just hope these dont leak, which seems to be a main problem with the aftermarkets.

    Difference between GMC and Chevy headlights?

    Not trying to take over the thread, and I Hate to be the one, but do you have a link for them? I have been trying to find a good set of glass ones. Also, how has your experience been with these? Leaks?

    Revitalizing my AC system

    Seconding the “A/C in Texas” thing. El Paso is getting hotter and hotter, and it sometimes seems that the AC doesnt work! Anyways, yes, charge the system with the dye added to the freon and use it. After some use, the leak should be covered in the dye, so you can use a UV flashlight to find the...

    Bummed with AC overhaul

    As far as a gage set, I just got a set from Harbor Freight. Yes, everyone rips on them, but the set I got is pretty good, and I only got it because I used the example of many YT mechanics, including ETCG, ChrisFix, and FordTechMakuLoco. I used these to fix a Ford Taurus we had that had the...

    2-3 shift slip, 4l60e, does Corvette servo help?

    Nice! Mine was $1650, but that is the mark of a good trans shop... no fuss no muss, and gets it done right!

    NBS(Gmt800) Instrument Cluster to OBS Swap - DONE

    That song tho... haha. I am impressed! You even got the computers working for Fuel Econ and such. How much of a pain was that? I wonder if the 06 gages were more reliable than other GMT800s of that era. It could be the sender, but the one in my in-law’s 01 pegs at 80. On the bright side, no...

    Passlock relearn procedure not working

    Mine will show the Security light for 5 seconds on the bulb check, and then go off if I switch it only to Run. If I am in Run and then go to start it, it does the same 5 second bulb check again. However, if it is flashing, that could indicate an issue. I wonder about the passlock on these...

    Replacing all key switchs?

    I got a new set of door locks cylinders from RockAuto (Wells, I believe) and replaced them on mine. I took the old set and the new set to a locksmith, and they rekeyed the new set to my existing key. So I use the same single key that my truck came with to open the doors and turn the ignition...

    Drivers side entry grab handle?

    Have you considered side steps? My 98 K1500 is at stock height and I do also use either the steering wheel to pull myself in, or I grab the exterior A-Pillar. That leaves unsightly fingerprints on the paint though. Adding some sidesteps to the truck may help as you would simply step up on to...

    1999 Tahoe system

    My 98 K1500 sorta has a 6-channel system, in the sense that it drives 2 full range speakers in the front doors (6 3/4” Pioneer 4-Ways) and the 2 full range speakers in the rear pillars (4x6” Pioneer 3-Ways). It also has the two factory tweeters at the top of the switch panels on the doors. If...

    Wiring LED cubes to come on with reverse lights

    I like the idea of having them in a switch as well. I want to do LED Reverse Bulbs in my stock housings to see how much it improves, but also with the LED style tails (those seem to have a clearer reverse lens). I also want to integrate an LED light bar for Stop/Turn/Running/Reverse between the...

    Are my Cats dead?

    Is it throwing a code? If it is a P0420, then likely, yes. It looks to be oscillating fine, but like it has been said, it is not warmed up yet. ETCG on Youtube has a great video explaining the P0420 and how the cats work. This is how I managed to figure it out on my truck. I’d say let it...

    2-3 shift slip, 4l60e, does Corvette servo help?

    If you are slipping in 2nd to 3rd, watch out because that is an indicator that the trans is on it’s way out. My 4L60E started doing that and shortly after, I lost 4th/OD altogether, and then 3rd. Needed a full rebuild.

    No DRLs

    Yeah, it would be nice to have the flash-to-pass feature. I am sure you can wire one in. Havent figured that one out yet.

    No DRLs

    Interesting. How much does it dim the lights? On my 98, I notice that there is a very negligible difference in light intensity between the DRLs and the standard Low Beams. You could literally drive with just the parking lights and have the (close to) full intensity on the low beams (without the...

    what trans is best to replace the 4L60E?

    I guess the experience is different from location to location. Mine was a small private shop and was always busy but the guy did an awesome job, not only with mine but with everyone elses. He was also proud to show off his GMT400 Suburban. Perhaps it was something that he related to me due to...

    Door Speakers Help

    Watch those rings from Metra. While great, they are prone to breaking easy. I broke one when I was attaching my Pioneer 4-Way 6 3/4”, but it broke in a way that it still worked and doesnt vibrate against the door panel. As far as quality, I have always used and trusted Pioneer. That’s whats in...
