    Edge Insight CTS3 into a 98 OBS Gas

    I am looking to monitor stuff a little more closely. I had a look around and couldn't see this type of device being discussed in a gas application. The company states it won't work with my 98 but I can't understand that given the basic OBD2 connectivity. Has anyone installed one of these in a...

    Swapping 3500/stiffer torsion bars into a 99 2500.

    I have read a lot posts about folks swapping 2500 t-bars into 1500's but couldn't convince myself that 3500/stiffer t-bars will fit my truck. I am looking for a stiffer initial feel from the front end as I have the stock bars decranked to manage front ride height, but if feels too soft. There...

    Looking to purchase upper & lower steering column covers (w/tilt)

    After 20 years, the little fragile tabs finally gave up on the steering column covers and these parts are discontinued. If anyone can put their hands on a clean set in dark grey/black for a tilt assembly, I would appreciate hearing from them - thank you, Mark.

    Looking for a clean leather steering wheel for a Canadian 1998 k2500

    Hi folks, I have a nice collection of leather wheels from some nice folks here on GMT400 from US destinations but they all have fitment issues - something different between US and Canadian trucks, it seems. If anyone has a very clean leather wheel from a Canadian truck, they aren't using and are...

    Interior dome lights come on by themselves in cold temperatures

    Hi Folks, this one is driving me nuts. For reasons I have yet to figure out, my 98 turns the interior lights on when it cold soaks and runs the battery dead overnight. This is not me leaving a dome light on. Shut the truck down, lock it and wait for 30 seconds and make sure all the interior...

    Instrument cluster has lost it's mind....

    Das Boat has pushed my button one more time! Frick. I tried a number of searches but either I am describing it differently or this is a bit unusual. All the gauges are affected in some way but its complicated to describe. Lets take the charging gauge - while running and driving it is showing min...

    Looking for a very clean 98 GMC 2500 steering wheel

    Does anyone happen have a line on a replacement factory steering wheel - I think mine has an internal crack somewhere - it shifts/moves like its loose on the splines and produces a maddening 'click' every time I pull to the left. Stem nut is tight. No airbag. Thanks in advance.

    Introductions Have lurked around here over the years but just signed up. I have owned this truck since 03 and when it blew a head gasket with 200,000 kms on it, it became decision time - midlife refit or new - I couldn't bring myself to pay what a new one cost, so I refit this one. It has...

    Another old man with an old truck...

    Greetings, New to the site and thought I'd throw up a photo of Das Boat. The original 454 got tired and has just been replaced with a healthy 496 with 450/500, which I must confess, I am enjoying. Could use some advice from folks on running non-LT tires on 3/4 tons (like Nitto 420S) - I...
