    the gmc sonoma - grandpa truck

    another update to the grandpa truck: in the process of LED swapping the gauge cluster and HVAC panel, so far the gauge cluster is done before: after: this is the same color i used in lydia's cluster, figured it'd only be appropriate to honor that truck by doing the gauge cluster color...

    Mini Bert! An s10... Maybe a ZR2?

    high mileage GM trucks from this era, whether it be GMT 400s or S-10s or what have you, are known for their wonderful uhh "wiring" jobs old lydia, my first gmt 400 love, had 3 separate alarm systems, all in various states of working order, shoved under the dashboard just enough out of sight i...

    Suburban down.

    i'd recommend putting a grooved or textured liner in there, my sonoma came with a cubby like that and anything lighter than a phone would go rolling out in a hard stop put a corrugated paper liner in it i bought from buchheits, fixed that issue real quick

    the gmc sonoma - grandpa truck

    haven't touched this thread in a while, i may as well keep updates on how the newcomer's doing it doesn't like cold weather. at all. i guess that can be accurately explained by saying it's a southern truck, but i digress i also put a new gauge cluster with a tachometer in it i am also...

    the gmc sonoma - grandpa truck

    that's what i don't like about the 4.3s, most exhaust mods make them sound like crap. but a flowmaster super 10 seems to do a good job though

    location of the fuse for the roof console map lights

    as it turns out the terminals on the bulbs weren't making contact for the lamps to work i threw new bulbs and a new fuse in (i thought you had to take down the entire console to change the bulbs, and wasted 30 minutes trying to undo a striped screw) and now they work perfectly now to make them...

    location of the fuse for the roof console map lights

    hello in the midst of fixing any of the interior bits and bobs with my truck, i came up onto the domelights (i have working domes now, yay :D) and the one thing i stumbled upon were the map lights i changed the bulbs and the lights still didn't work, so i am gonna bet on it being a fuse that's...

    hey all i have recently replaced my trucks gauge cluster lights with leds (the difference is astonishing) but the one problem i have encountered is that the illumination is horribly uneven, with a large dim spot in the speedometer and partially in the oil pressure gauge and water temp gauge...
