Hey guys, figured I'd finally make a thread on my truck so my questions can all end up in the same place lol
I've got a 92 Sierra, 5.7, 2 wheel drive that I found in the back of an old buy here pay here place under a tree left to sit for a few months. She's come a good ways since I bought her, but still needs more of course! Currently the mod list is modest, but noticeable:
4" spindle lift
2" drop shackle (PO installed, I plan to go to stock + 2" block)
1.5" wheel spacer/adapters
15x10 Centerline alloy wheels from my old F150
Niteshaded (the ugly ass chrome, LED impersonation) tail lights
Black housing headlights and turn signals
Summit Racing single chamber muffler
So she sits pretty clean aside from the bad paint and dinged up bed
But that also brings me to 2 questions. First off, my AC control is non functional. It was working on the test drive of the truck, and then when I pressed the OFF button, it proceeded to kill the screen and it became a dash ornament. I took it all apart and found a connection had burned up a part of the screen. Whatever. Went to the junkyard today, found 2 more, and both were like mine, with non functioning screens, leading nothing in my HVAC system to work. Seeing as they were as old as my original, I figured no big deal, it's 22 year old electronics. So my question: Is there a way to test the connector harness in my dash to make sure it's working properly, before I drop $200 on a new control? Or maybe someone has a working one for sale?
Part in question(random pic from google, but it's the right control unit):
And then question number 2: What is the proper way to mount this grille? Is there drilling involved? I picked up a '95ish Sierra grille at the yard today and it's a little rigged on at the moment. The top mounts all line up, but the bottom 2 bolts for the grille are nowhere close to where my OE '92 grille bolted in
