    Passenger door fitment for 3DR cab

    I need to replace my passenger door. Will a standard cab or extended cab door fit? I have the 3rd door on RH passenger side, just not sure if regular or extended cab door will work.

    The Stupid Electronics Questions Thread

    I finally get to hook up a CB radio in my 98 K1500. I've had CB's in a lot of different vehicles over the years but never had on that would stumble when you key the mike to transmit. I have good grounds all around, antenna cable not close to the ECM or nothing. I'm stumped on this one.

    planning on painting my truck myself.... need advise plz....

    I see no one has piped in yet so I'll give you MHO. Great Goose you got a job to do there. I've never taken one apart to paint before but not wrong for doing it that way, you may have a few matching issues not shooting all panels at once though. Venting vapors to the atmosphere is an EPA issue...

    Clutch engages at the floor.

    Do yo have all free play until that point in pedal? Have someone push the pedal while you watch the slave actuate. If pedal travels all the way down until the slave starts to move you have leaking/bad clutch master cylinder. Is fluid up to level?

    98 K1500 hard shift 1 to 2 when hot

    It finally popped the 1870 DTC. Ordered a rebuilt VB from Ken Partin Transmissions http://kenpartintransmissionparts.com/ . Very nice guy to talk to and great price ($159.00) See how it works out, He says it will give me firmer TC hold too. We;ll see

    1995 silverado, shifts fine no tc lockup though

    On my 98 I found the brake switch was causing issue. Fine cold but as it warmed up there was just enough problem with switch contacts it would keep TCC from occurring.
