    Dome override gives power to cargo light when activated?

    The most likely reason is that it was one or two cents cheaper to do it that way. Two cents when you are making a million units is real money.

    98 k1500 new owner, couple issues i need some advice on

    I endorse the above advise about checking grounds. That is the number 1 source of flaky electrical issues on these trucks. Re the wiper issue take a look at the directions on here for re-flowing the solder connection on the wiper motor control board. The connection gets loose and a minute...

    93 Complete A/C system replacement - Questions for gurus

    I salute the OP for his persistence. My 93 had a shadetree conversion to R 134 before I bought it. It lasted about a month beyond the purchase. After banging my head against the wall for a year I finally found a shop that replaced the whole mess. It worked fine in 103 degree weather and has...

    Last Post!!!!

    This is a good time to remind everyone not to "play" those little quizzes that pop up on social media all the time. You can bet that every answer that is tied to your name goes into a file somewhere and adds to the profile every time you key in a response. @Scooterwrench glad you are sticking...

    What tool out of everything you have do you regard as your best investment.

    Hands down, any air compressor is a huge step over not having one. I have a 24 gallon HF in the garage (20* years old) and a pancake style in the shop. Both are noisy but both provide the sort of persuasion that 100 plus lbs of compressed air will provide. Lots of other tools but that first...

    Well this is gonna suck!

    The old rule of thumb is still true (adjusted for inflation). It states that if you spend the amount of two payments a year on a vehicle (1800) in this case. It will run forever. So for about 200 a month and in many years much less, that great truck will just keep going. That is one...

    Newbie from Virginia

    I feel your pain and your wife may be related to mine. We argued for years about the fact that I needed a pickup truck (it wasn't HER car being used for box store runs). The argument continued until one day she came home and noticed it parked in the driveway. It was a little chilly for a few...

    Brake lights coming on when hitting bumps

    The first test is to try it without the trailer. If the problem stops then you have localized the issue to the trailer. From that point get a tester and check the trailer wires. One of them is likely frayed and contacting a ground somewhere.

    Need help with a/c and radio stack.

    One thing you may depend on is that all speakers are most likely dead with voice coil open. Even if the radio works (unlikely) you would never know it until you replace the speakers. The front speakers in the dash are easy to replace, The rear (pillar) speakers depend on trim level. The...

    ac blower stopped blowing

    That is the blower motor resistor which has probably failed if the motor runs when you cross it out. You will need to replace it to get speeds other than high. If it is getting power to that point with the switch off you may have a switch problem. Someone who knows more than me can tell us if...

    ac blower stopped blowing

    If you are showing ground with a continuity tester it will likely read the same on either side of the blower. If the hot side of the blower is disconnected from the blower motor and STILL shows ground then you likely have a wire issue between the switch and the motor. A test of the blower...

    Noise with AC on -Edited.

    I wonder if the bearings aren't going in the blower motor? The noise could be the bearing itself or maybe it is wiggling enough that the fan is lightly touching the housing. The motor could vary speeds with engine speed especially if the battery is a little weak and the system is depending on...

    Rear top interior piece

    That is known as the "high trim" option on these trucks and is the trim found on the higher end trucks. Be sure and read up on how to remove it if you go to a self service yard as these parts are easily broken. Look for non sun faded interiors if you can find one as the trim from a garaged...

    Puzzling Headlight Issue

    No doubt it is, but that stupid screw has re surfaced many times on other trucks.

    Dip **** stick broke off in pan now what?

    Just remember that the demon Murphy is looking over your shoulder and grinning. If you don't tear it down that engine will be trashed inside 50 miles.

    Puzzling Headlight Issue

    Richard you stand as a fine example. I have your outstanding post on the ubiquitous cowl screw leak on file and have posted it several times when someone asks about that issue. I also always give you credit for chasing down the solution to that obnoxious leak. That one is one of the all time...

    Puzzling Headlight Issue

    Nad_Yvalhosert said: It's good that you have a suggestion to help fix this issue, but O.P. posted this over 4 years ago. It's likely that it has been fixed long long ago. Dates on posts matter. I only responded because someone quoted a reply I had done some time ago. Also the problem of a...

    Puzzling Headlight Issue

    Some of those previously stretched wires may have broken (or almost broken) inside the insulation . They look perfectly normal but you may be dealing with yet another almost broken wire. Run parallel jumpers across likely suspects and see if the problem clears up. That is my best guess...

    Is it possible to rewrap a stock steering wheel with leather

    I admire you guys who can spend $300 or so on the wheel and I am very glad you have that option. I decided to go cheap on mine. I use one of the padded leather look vinyl lace on covers. Costs about 15 bucks, looks decent and very comfortable to drive with one. I got the idea from and old...
