    Double din that doesn’t require cutting dash?

    Just Spotify from my phone. Yeah I am dead set on a double din. I called Crutchfield and the tech I talked to seemed pretty knowledgeable and suggested something similar to what you stated. In short, he had some trepidation about the Alpine floating screen models not being a direct drop in...

    Double din that doesn’t require cutting dash?

    So far the only option I can find is an Alpine Halo unit. It uses a single din mount and the floating screen is very adjustable. Downside is….that unit is quite pricey at $1200. There maybe be other brands with a similar set up and cheaper….? Ill spend $400-500 on a good head unit. But...

    Double din that doesn’t require cutting dash?

    I looked at that kit too. Then I read the installation instructions and saw where you have to cut your dash.

    Double din that doesn’t require cutting dash?

    Yeah i think the 95 and up had a 1.5 din from the factory, so that helps with this dilemma. Everyone with a 94 and older has a single din factory mount unfortunately. I may give crutchfield a call and see if any of the floating models they sell are adjustable. If the final resting place of...

    Double din that doesn’t require cutting dash?

    It’s looking that way. Im looking to see if there are any floating model head units where the mounting half is the top and not the lower.

    Double din that doesn’t require cutting dash?

    Look for a double din kit that does not require cutting the dash. Does anyone make one? I know there are floating set ups that use a single din mount, but from the ones I saw, the single din is on the “lower half” of the head unit, so the “upper half” of the unit appears it would partially...

    Stumble after cold start

    I was thinking about that since it threw that code. That said….please correct me if I am wrong, but I was thinking the EGR does not come into play until after the engine is up to operating temp? That it basically stays closed when its cold? If that is right, then is it still possible the EGR...

    Stumble after cold start

    Good question. Forgot to say that…SES light only comes on after driving for a little while after the engine is up to running temp. Its a 32 which is a EGR/MAP code. I was thinking maybe the fuel pressure regulator? But if so, I cant figure out why it would only fail during a cold start? If...

    Stumble after cold start

    I recently purchased a 93 Blazer with 350 TBI. All stock - no modifications. Overall, it starts(other than noted below) runs and drives great. The only problem is on a cold start, it fires up fine, but then after a few/several seconds it will begin to stumble around and nearly stall. It...

    JB5 Rear to JB6 Drums 6 Lug - Help with Models to pick

    I did the upgrade this weekend. After comparing the 86 to 80mm calipers side by side in the store, my gut said go with the 80mm since I knew that swap has been successfully done. So I went with the 80mm calipers. I installed new (correct for the swap) hubs, new 1.25” rotors, new (reman) 80mm...

    JB5 Rear to JB6 Drums 6 Lug - Help with Models to pick

    Excellent comparison. Thank you for putting that together @1998_K1500_Sub . Interesting that the banjo bolt appears to be slightly different location on each. Based on these pictures I would guess I shouldn’t have any clearance issues with the 86mm, as @Schurkey indicated above. Oh man I...

    JB5 Rear to JB6 Drums 6 Lug - Help with Models to pick

    Yeah i just realized that about the rotors. I have building an excel spreadsheet all day with all this info. I should post here as a sticky for othets who go down this path, lol !! Ill keep searching for an answer on the 16” wheel clearance question. But that is good know the 80mm will work...

    Excellent information! I have read it and your supporting thread links a few times and feel like I get it all now. I truly appreciate the time you put into writing a response. It has been truly helpful. I will swap to the 2500 hub/rotor and run either the 80 or 86mm caliper (since i have...

    Thank you to everyone who replied. This has been very helpful. I wish I knew this information sooner! I have the NBS MC. Thst was the first thing i did after buying the truck. It had a terrible soft pedal. At that time I was unaware there were differences. That said, for the front then...
