    who are the go to steering/suspension parts now?

    Old thread, which is not necessarily a bad thing as I am interested to know how the Mevotech TTX components are holding up. I am starting into the suspension of my 98 K1500 Suburban. I am 95% sure at 235K miles I am sitting on the stock or at best really, really old replacement suspension...

    Power Seats, locks and lights issues

    I am sort of an idiot. The issue was in that snarl of wiring harnesses under the seat I had plugged a connector back into another connector on the same side of the harness. In other words a feed plugged into another feed and shorted it all out. I pulled everything back apart, stripped the...

    Power Seats, locks and lights issues

    98 K1500 LT Barn Doors Just reinstalled my drivers seat after having it out for nearly two years while redoing the interior and recovering the seats. Right now the seat is as far forward and as high as it will go and I cannot drive it this way. With multi-meter I have power to the three...

    The Stupid Electronics Questions Thread

    I searched the thread for both parking brake and parking brake din and didn't see the answer. Where should I run a wire from in the dash or wherever to get the parking brake actuated signal needed for DVD's to work in a double din head unit?

    The Center Console Thread

    Is there room to do this with the stock GMT400/1998 front buckets? maybe have to lose the drop down arm rests on the old seats?

    Gonna need towing mirrors

    Any idea which wires are for what in the stock plug? have a diagram by chance? The wires for the heated option and dimming are gonna get taped up and be un used. I want to say the factory was a 6 pin connector and the trail ridge mirrors were four pin connectors but that is going from memory...

    How do you know if your truck originally had keyless entry?

    Old dead thread but let's breath some life into it. I did a quick search on the amazons, and there are few three button only (lock, unlock, panic) fobs available. The one I did find that was GM was for a traverse or saturn something or other. IF my suburban was original with wireless locks (I...

    Big 3 and Dual Battery Kits

    Should have come back here long ago and left a review. The materials are top notch as well as the service after the sell. It has bene a while since I installed mine but for some reason one of the wires was just a bit too short. Got it replaced no problem. Everything working as it should as...

    Gonna need towing mirrors

    I ordered some of the trail ridge tow mirrors (in haste) back in the summer for my K1500 suburban. Mine has factory, non-tow, heated/power/auto dimming mirrors that were messed up. After I pulled the old off and compared the plugs to the new ones they are not the same, any idea what can be...

    How to: factory auxiliary trans cooler upgrade

    I am thinking of doing this after reading about the trans issues with the 4l60. And truthfully, I have not dug into my 1998 K1500 Suburban to tell you what trans it has. But just looking at what the previous owner has done and not done I am going to assume it has been neglected to an extent...

    Big 3 and Dual Battery Kits

    @5vortec7 I would like to purchase the Big 3 and dual battery kit for my 98 k1500. Can you recommend a battery switch/isolator as well? Might even entertain installing an upgraded alternator. Plan is for this to be a hunting and family camping vehicle.
