    HD Headlight Harnesses w/ 4 High Mod

    Excellent! Hmm, choices! This would be for my 94 GMC K2500, no foglights. I looked at the two versions on page 13. Which do you recommend for a California truck? I'm not too keen on spending an extra $25 for the waterproof version if I don't have to. c

    HD Headlight Harnesses w/ 4 High Mod

    @pgutier1 Thank you for answering my question! I think I may budget for this, then. Then, perhaps I can save up for a pair of those Brazilian-spec (Arteb?) housings, which apparently are quite a bit better than the typical US-spec ones that exist everywhere here (California), especially the...

    HD Headlight Harnesses w/ 4 High Mod

    Can I post this here, or should I PM? Having just fixed my headlights (burnt switch contact fixed with cleaning), I'm wondering about improving them so they don't go out again. Does this kit come with installation instructions? If not, where may I find some? c

    '94 GMC Sierra K2500 Headlights Not Working Right

    Fixed! Apparently all the wiring is OK, and it was the switch. With the help of a friend, I opened up the switch and looked at the contacts. One of them – the main headlight circuit – looked visibly burned. Some quick trial and error determined that the contact was still intact, but was...

    '94 GMC Sierra K2500 Headlights Not Working Right

    I have yet to actually check any of the wiring, but I'd like to know what, if any parts I should get other than the switch. Connectors? Wiring harnesses? Fuses? Thank you! c

    '94 Sierra K2500 HVAC Issues

    This is true! It temporarily "fixed itself" because, as I recall, the weather got warmer, which must have loosened the old, sticky grease and allowed the mechanism to work. I didn't look into anything beyond that, though, primarily because life got really busy and I simply didn't have the...

    '94 Sierra K2500 HVAC Issues

    Well, mine's probably posted upthread, but for clarity and to serve as a reminder, my truck is a 94 GMC Sierra K2500 with 454, electric controls and A/C. c

    '94 Sierra K2500 HVAC Issues

    Two years, wow! Anyway, I'm reviving this thread to say that the HVAC is stuck again, and this time it seems permanent. It will cycle between defrost and floor, but won't go to the panel vents, so it seems that it's actually partly stuck. Is it new actuator time? c

    Beware: GM Nightmare - Defective 2024 and 2022 Yukon Diesel

    I've always wondered about that. Who would want such a small car with a puny gas engine that barely gets half the MPGs of a comparatively much larger Toyota Prius? An 80 MPG diesel version, however, makes much more sense. Anyway, speaking of dumb rules, this reminds me of an experience I'd...

    93 model Odometer motor?

    I don't know if this helps anything, but it might? When I swapped the non-tach cluster for a tach one in my 94, I swapped over the odometer (nothing broke!). When I subsequently took the truck for a test drive with the new cluster, the odometer didn't work, and I didn't understand why. So I...

    '94 GMC Sierra K2500 Headlights Not Working Right

    Very sound advice! I will order a new switch and either have a look at the wiring myself, or take it to the mechanic (it's due for a tune up anyway, and unfortunately, I'm not equipped, nor do I have much time to do that myself). c

    '94 GMC Sierra K2500 Headlights Not Working Right

    Same truck ('94 K2500, (7.4L) 454 V8. Was trying to drive it last night, and about 2 minutes in, I began to smell a faint odor of something getting hot. A couple minutes later, the headlights started to go out, and that faint odor of something hot started smelling like burning electronics, so...

    Engine Idles Unevenly and Almost Stalls When Cold

    @Schurkey OK, that makes sense. I've never touched them. I don't know. The PO had died and I bought the truck from a local used car lot, so I never got to see much, if any of the prior repair record. I don't know yet. I'll have to get under there and take a look. It helps very much! OK...

    Engine Idles Unevenly and Almost Stalls When Cold

    I think I understand now! So it was flashing fast for the first few minutes, then it slowed down, so that must mean it entered closed loop. It is at this point that the problem usually happens (though not always; it seems less common in warmer weather). The interesting thing I noticed is...

    Engine Idles Unevenly and Almost Stalls When Cold

    Well, less than $500. I can do maybe $200, but less is better. c
