    2000 Chevy 2500 Crew Cab

    Update on fixes: New Front and Rear shocks 2nd try at replacing the belt (higher quality one this time) Differential fluid changed So I think I am finally at the point where (with exception of the gas gauge) this truck is mechanically restored. Probably next year I will start on making it...

    It's dead Jim

    I was just in the local auto parts store for brake light bulbs. Those can't be installed without an adapter. Do the LED dash bulbs need anything to work correctly? Thanks!

    2000 Chevy 2500 Crew Cab

    This is the one I got. If your connections are solid, it works great. Highly recommend a soldered and shrink wrap connection. There is a slight pause after putting it in reverse before the feed displays, but not an issue for me. Feed is solid most of the times (unless there is a lot of...

    Additional things to fix now: Headlight switch is very warm when on, so guess that needs replacing Gas gauge is completely broken now I still like it though. :)

    It's dead Jim

    Truck is a 2000 K 2500 (in signature). I am open to options, but don't want to get into issues with the odometer. Let me know how it went when you did the swap, or a link to a thread you already detailed it. I'm also doing a double din install, and changing out the climate control knobs while...

    It's dead Jim

    My gas gauge, which has been very politely waving at me for months now, has failed on "Full". So one good news is I will save money on gas now. :) When I pull the dash to replace it, what is a good source for these gauges, and what other gauges are good to replace at this time? Also...

    64 Corvair Spyder Convertible

    Unfortunate. The general public were not well educated on these cars. They drive differently, and were a target by Ralph and other who were looking to make a name for themselves. I believe the book actually goes on to praise the changes made to the '65 model year (full independent suspension...

    2000 Chevy 2500 Crew Cab

    Thanks. Must be a reflection in the paint, the rockers are body color. The tires (first photo) were shot when I got the truck. Put new (second photo) Firestone Destinations on it the first week I had it. Those will carry my through this year, and looking at getting custom rims/tires next...

    What is it, and where does it go?

    Thanks. This truck is new to me, and usually I saw the block heaters sticking out of the front of the grill on trucks I was more familiar with.

    What is it, and where does it go?

    Just had work done to the K2500 and noticed this sticking out of the wheel well when getting gas. Can someone identify it, and where it should be connected? Thanks.
