    Amp Mounting Ideas

    I have a 1997 ecsb and I am adding a couple amps for my door speakers and rear pillar speakers. I have a dual downfire 10" box under the back seat. I am thinking about mounting the amps to the back of the seat so I have easy access for any future adjustments but can also be out of sight if I...

    Hi everyone. I will start off saying that I drove my truck 4 days ago with no issues, the other night I went a short distance and felt a slight slipping in 1-2 shift and 2-3. Last night the slipping was more prominent and would not engage the next gear until rpm' s were under 2000 but would...

    LED Lighting

    Has anyone on this forum done a full led swap? I just ordered led headlight bulbs low beam and hi beam, ordered all the led interior bulbs, turn signal, marker lights, and ordered the led chmsl. I am going for clean light while trying to reduce the electrical load. If you have done an led...

    Reverse Light Configurations

    Here are mine, just finished wiring the cubes. They come on when my truck is in reverse and my taillights are on via 2 relays or when activated by the switch in my overhead console as seen here. The 2 cubes are mounted to my rear shackle mounts via a bracket I made and welded on. What do you...

    I need a neutral safety wiring diagram

    I have installed a remote start alarm on my 1997 k1500 with an automatic transmission so naturally I did not want to hook the wire up to my parking brake since I don't always use it. So I need a diagram of the park/neutral safety switch and if anyone is familiar with a good place to tap into the...

    Remote start question

    I just installed a Viper 5706V alarm with remote start into my 1997 Chevy K1500 5.7. I can remote start just fine however it shuts down after 20 seconds because the alternator is not charging and the system thinks it is not running and shuts down. I hooked up the secondary ignition wire from...
