    What is this under driver side dash?

    Probably a little late to the game here, but this was also a question I had but didn't ask because they typical answers that don't help much. But, due to getting some headway - and using the term "convenience center" I was able to find this. I imagine it's in the service manual somewhere, and...

    Iphone direct to speakers with no radio

    Take a gander at Marine Bluetooth Controllers This JL one is pretty decent. Run that to a small 150w amp (or however big you want) and you have a pretty decent setup. If you're willing to mount something, they come in pretty small packages and will control power, volume, play/pause, skip etc.

    Rag Joint Dimensions

    Does anyone have a new rag joint handy to get dimensions off of? I have a friend who's family has a machine shop and I'm wanting to have a piece of aluminum machined to replace the rag joint, I'm just short dimensions. I need the OD and the thickness, the rest can easily be figured out. Thanks,

    96 Sierra Headlight Switch

    Alright, I have a 1996 GMC Sierra SLT Z71 that I just purchased and going through troubleshooting all the small problems, I came across a fried harness that plugs into the headlamp switch. Why it's fried has been answered and not the topic of discussion here. My question is this, where are...

    So. Many. Codes. **Solved**

    Alright, thanks for that. I'm really leaning towards the TPS, I feel that being out of whack would make everything else read off, plus it's a fairly easy one to test. Now I have to go find my dang multimeter, it's grown legs in the past week or so.

    So. Many. Codes. **Solved**

    Alright, here we go..... **Edit #2 - Solved** So, I got to reading and read a post that reminded me of something. Keep it simple stupid....... I went back under the hood with a spot flashlight and started looking around. I immediately found a vacuum line (one of the small, like 1/4" hard...

    4WD HI/LO light blinking

    So, despite it actually engaging the prop shaft, it might not be engaging "enough" for it to recognize that it's been engaged and the light stays blinking? That's the part that's confounding, I lay under the truck, hear everything engage, can't rotate the prop shaft, but the light stays...

    4WD HI/LO light blinking

    Alright, I've dug and dug but can't seem to find something similar to this one. I've even tried using good ol Google. I have a 1996 Z71 with a 5.7 Vortec and pushbutton 4wd. When I push the button for 4HI it stays blinking, 4LO I get a solid light and you can hear the clunk plus when you...

    Wire connector identification

    **** Found it, I went in there with a pretty powerful flashlight and it became apparent VERY quickly. I'll leave this up for anyone who encounters the same - It's the connection that goes behind the A/C compressor.

    Wire connector identification

    Alright, I've been chasing this one for a few hours now, and I'm sure I'm just glancing past it. For the life of me I cannot find where this little guy goes..... I just swapped out to the MPFI in the truck and this is all that's left. To clarify, I have done some digging here and on google...

    1996 GMC Z71 - 220k - Rough Idle/Hard Start - New to Me

    So, is it safe to say the days of MSD, Accel and the like are gone? Or is this just a good OEM equivalent one for one swap?

    1996 GMC Z71 - 220k - Rough Idle/Hard Start - New to Me

    I ordered a separate kit, but not one that included the lower. It's basically a kit for removing/replacing the upper - it's the Fel-Pro MS 90269 kit. So basically all I'd need are the Intake to head gaskets it looks like. Not a bad idea, it'll also give me a chance to look at the valvetrain...

    1996 GMC Z71 - 220k - Rough Idle/Hard Start - New to Me

    Any recommendations for gasket sets? I've been out of the "working on my car" game for a while, like back when Jegs, Summit and LMC were catalogs..... I'm not "old" but it's been a few years...... I'm kind of eyeballing this, or will I need a more comprehensive kit for removing the entire...

    1996 GMC Z71 - 220k - Rough Idle/Hard Start - New to Me

    Outlaw - Thanks for that, you are correct, sure can't hurt! Well, I only listed the core problem here lol. Can't get 4wd to do anything, currently leaking at the rear main (or it seems), A/C blows hot Texas air in my face, Suspension needs love...... lots of love..... I need to undo some poor...

    1996 GMC Z71 - 220k - Rough Idle/Hard Start - New to Me

    Well, I suppose this is as good a place to place an introduction as any. To start off with, it feels good to be back on a forum, I haven't been on one since I had an LS1 powered F-Body. Alright, so I just purchased this truck as a fixer to daily driver project. They just don't make them like...
