    AC Compressor issue

    Looking for some guidance. AC was ice cold and working up to about 3 weeks ago. All of the sudden the AC wouldn't cool. In actuality, it does slightly cool the air, but not a lot. At the same time, I noticed a clicking sound when the AC is on. Turns out the compressor is making a clicking...

    Rear fogs, but $&%F$! cargo lamp switch!!!! WTF?!

    So I hate how difficult it is to see at night when in reverse. Particularly at my house, where I have poor lighting in my driveway and on the street near my house. I have kicked this idea around for a while and since my hitch needed to be removed so that i can repaint it, I thought it would be...

    Anyone know how to remove the cargo lamp switch

    Looking for a quick "how-to" so I can remove my cargo lamp switch. Been searching for a few minutes on here and can't find a thread that talks about how to remove it. If anyone who knows can respond or point me to a thread, I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

    Another lighting thread. Can't find one pic I'm looking for.

    So I've decided I want to replace my headlights(eventually my tailights) with new ones. I've been scouting all of the threads and pics of trucks to see what I like. I'm torn on what which set to get. I'm leaning towards the "black" option, but I generally don't love smoked/dark lenses, which...

    Suspension overhaul questions and help needed

    OK, So my truck needs idler and pitman arms replaced as well as needing both inner and outer tie rods. I've noticed on my passenger side control arm that there is a space where my tire rubs the control arm when I have the wheels turned all the way to the left. I'm not sure if this is...

    Help with stock suspension overhaul(98 Silverado) and belt squeak

    A couple of things. For about the last month, I'm getting a real bad squeak when I start up. It will basically last until I get down the block and make a turn and then goes away until the next time I start my truck. Doesn't matter if I've been driving for an hour and only shut it off for 2...

    Need help with a simple electrical switch

    Trying to wire up a toggle switch. I got this from radio shack and it has a diagram on the back, but I don't understand it. Ultimately I will be installing this in my car to control a relay which will control an intercooler pump. Right now I'm just messing around with a battery and some test...

    Armrest won't open

    I always have trouble with my armrest not opening up. As far as I can tell nothing is broken or with issue other than the latch mechanism just seems to be "sticky" and has trouble releasing. Does anyone have any advice for me on how to remedy it? Any writeups on how to dissemble it without...

    Help with stock suspension overhaul

    Recently had an issue where I had to take my truck in to diagnose a coolant leak. I thought it was the radiator, but it turned out to be the water pump. I ordered the parts and replaced it and all is well on that front. In addition, the shop gave me a list of stuff that would need to be...

    what is this drip/fluid? Do I need to worry?

    So I don't drive my truck all that much. Basically on the weekends to Home Depot and when I feel like sitting "above the frey" in traffic. Lately I've noticed fluid on the ground after I've been driving. I tracked it down to this. It's coming from a little elbow that looks like an overflow...

    I hate it when crap breaks(window motor)

    OK, what a freaking nightmare to replace the window regulator motor. I don't know if you guys have ever done this before, but it is retarded. So I haven't had a working driver's side window for a while. I went to the JY today and grabbed a switch. When I get home, the switch did not make a...

    "Speed Wire" is awesome

    So I was looking for some multi-wired cable to install my compass/temp mirror and found this stuff. I guess it's for audio mostly. It has 9 separate 18ga wires all within the cable. It's pretty pliable and easy to work with. I ran it up through this square hole and fished it over so...

    Alright ladies. Here is some information. I searched for this information in quite a few places but couldn't find much. I'm actually floored by this since these trucks are between 24-14 years old. I would have expected this to be documented already. Looking to get this as a sticky once I've...

    Tried to polish my tail light

    Took one of my tailights and spend 10 minutes on the bench grinder with a couple of different compounds and a soft wheel. Can you tell which one I polished and which one I left alone?

    To Box or not to Box....That is the question.

    So I wasn't planning on putting a box on this truck. I have one left over from my old pickup. Today I just threw it in the back to see what it looks like. I'm a little concerned with it taking space because it's already not that long of bed to begin with. I'm thinking if I install it that...

    Looking for some audio help

    Driving around in my truck yesterday and turned the sound up a bit. For a stock setup it's fine, but I'd like to add to it a little bit. This is not my DD and I don't have big plans so not looking to do too much to it. What I would like to do is add an amp and sub to the factory deck. Not...

    New to me 98 Silverado in SLC, UT

    Had an 85 Chevy that was lifted. Body/paint was phenomenal, but the cost to lower and wheels/tires was too much. Also would have needed to put in cat and do some other repairs so I decided to sell it(which I did a few months ago) and have been keeping my eye out for a good truck. Kind of...
