    LED switchback thread. Post your pics, talk about your install, share your thoughts.

    I love my truck. Its a 2WD '96 Silverado. Its dependable, strong and a real joy to drive. I’ll never get rid of it. As my daily driver I look for upgrades to keep up with the modern comforts. LEDs are easy to swap out and are getting cheaper as time passes. Headlights and interior lights are the...

    Android Auto and Apple CarPlay Headunits

    Has anyone installed an android auto or apple CarPlay capable head-unit? They're becoming more affordable and I would definitely be interested in having some modern tech in my '96.

    Need help figuring out why my maplights won’t work after I installed a stock overhead console.

    What I did was hook up power from the rear dome light (which is orange I believe) to the console. Then I grounded the console to the roof. And the lights turn on fine now.

    Need help figuring out why my maplights won’t work after I installed a stock overhead console.

    Hey man, thanks for the reply. I was hoping someone could help me out. So basically I need to ground the ground wire from the map lights to the body of the truck?

    The Stupid Interior Questions Thread

    I have a 1996 C1500 ext cab that used to have a custom overhead console. It was there when we bought it new. It is two maplights and a cigarette lighter and they all worked fine. It got pretty beat up so I took it down and got a stock overhead console instead. I got constant power from the dome...

    Anyone know how to remove the cargo lamp switch

    Hey man I know this is an old thread but I'm trying to come up with a little research and you seem like the guy that might have the answer. I want to add some of those led strips to the railing of my bed to light it up at night. I have a bed cover and it's a pain to unload groceries, for...

    Why don't my turn signals alternate between the side marker and the parking light?

    Wow. I really didn't think of that. Thanks for clearing it up for me.

    Has anyone wired auxiliary bed lighting to their factory cargo lamp switch?

    Nice. Could you help me out with a drawn diagram I can follow? I can't really picture it in my head.

    Has anyone wired auxiliary bed lighting to their factory cargo lamp switch?

    I have a 96 c1500 with a bed cover. The cargo lamp switch convenient on the dash but is pretty much useless since the cover blocks the light. I want to install some LED bed lights because its a pain to unload groceries, bags or whatever at night. I really like the idea of the lights but I don't...

    Why don't my turn signals alternate between the side marker and the parking light?

    I noticed that when I use my turn signal all three bulbs (2 for the forward facing parking light and 1 for the corner/side marker) flash at the same time. Every other truck Ive seen alternates between the two with one flashing first then the other. Does any one know why this is? I linked a video...

    I am having some play/wobble on my column shifter and the lever will not go all the way down to 1.

    The headliner I think I can do. I've seen the rolls of the material at textile shops and online but haven't gone in to match the color or measure out what's needed. The seats are what have my wallet hurting. I've seen posts where the seat frame is broken or bent and I really don't want to deal...

    I am having some play/wobble on my column shifter and the lever will not go all the way down to 1.

    As far as I know he's the only guy in town that does these things. I've lived 15 years here and haven't seen an ad, business sign or commercial that doesn't belong to the man I talked to. I've seen his work and I've seen the kind of cars he has on his lot waiting for jobs( I even recognize some...

    I am having some play/wobble on my column shifter and the lever will not go all the way down to 1.

    Sweet the next thing I want to do are new coil springs and reupholstering or new seats. I got a quote from a guy but it seemed way too high for a simple cloth job on the three seats and the roof.

    I am having some play/wobble on my column shifter and the lever will not go all the way down to 1.

    Is this how I can replace the rubber boot? It's torn and I found a new one for a good price. I'm assuming I can remove the bolt, the lever will be able to be removed and I can replace the boot then. Am I correct in assuming that? The center hole in the new rubber boot looks really small so I...

    I am having some play/wobble on my column shifter and the lever will not go all the way down to 1.

    Wow I didn't even see that second torx bolt. I only saw the pin below it. This is so much easier than tapping out the pin and replacing it. Damn. Thanks. I should have pulled the rubber boot further down. I'm going to use thread locker on it now.

    I am having some play/wobble on my column shifter and the lever will not go all the way down to 1.

    I have a 1996 C1500 As the title says I have some wobble on the shaft/lever of the column shifter. I added some pictures and a video showing it and I cant figure out how to fix it. A saw a video on an older model and a newer model but both have slightly different systems from what I can tell...

    Installing a Remote Start, Alarm, or Keyless Entry?

    I have a '96 c1500 Silverado, I don't see an AU0 code in the glovebox. I have power windows and locks however. Does this mean that I don't have any stock keyless entry capabilities at all? If i buy an OEM replacement fob, can I still code it to work on my truck by grounding the #4 and #8 pin on...
