    Is it just a general pain to pull the soundstage off the rear wall in these trucks?

    As I said, it was really just about slapping in whatever I had on hand at that point that fit, and not at all about any kind of proper system design. I've just never had a vehicle that the soundstage was so different in right out of the hole like this one. I'll run through those checks next...

    Anyone recognize this under seat sub box?

    I've got a pair of JBL GX1200s in one of those underseat boxes (cheap no name brand box, bought off Amazon for $90 shipped), fed by a 300 watt RMS Kenwood amp. Sounds fine for a set up that I've got less than $350 total in to. Didn't plan on making this truck a daily at the time I installed...

    Is it just a general pain to pull the soundstage off the rear wall in these trucks?

    Setup - '96 K2500 extended cab, Joying double DIN Android radio, Infinity Reference coax in the doors & factory speakers in the C pillars, both powered by the radio's built in amp, dual JBL GT1200 12" subs in a underseat sealed box powered by a Kenwood 500x1 Class D amp. Problem - no matter...

    Painting steel center console...would I still get paint mixed for the interior color?

    I put a custom steel center console in the '96 K2500, and want to paint it blue like the rest of the interior. It's a work truck, not a show truck, so it doesn't have to be an absolutely perfect "looks like factory" match, but I would like it at least close. Largely so it attracts less...

    Looking for a good Magazine

    X2...I don't think I've even cracked open a print magazine in 10 years now. Even then, I was questioning why I was spending $5-$8 a pop for 80% advertising, 15% generic content, and 4.5% so-so useful tech info, and maybe 0.5% that applied to whatever vehicle I had. More often than not, it...

    Where to attach tow rope?

    Before towing a vehicle _any_ distance, I'd check your local laws on this. I don't have a clue what the laws are in Germany, so I don't want to say one way or the other. However, here in the United States, much to the surprise of many, towing a vehicle any distance beyond what it takes to...

    How many hours to replace 4l80e front seal?

    I was just about to say the same....it may be a regional thing, I don't know. But I've recently gotten quotes to put a completely rebuilt 4L80E in a 4x4 for $1000. Though as others said, the majority of that quote is likely labor, and it's not uncommon to find labor rates quoted at over...

    Adding factory cab clearance lights to '96...plug and play?

    Recently picked up a '96 K2500 ECLB diesel. One of my trailers is wide enough to require additional clearance lights on it, and I'd like to add the cab clearance lights to the truck. I also have a '95 Suburban K2500 that I've been picking parts off of for various projects, that has the...

    4-pin connector mounting method?

    Curt and a few other companies make a flat four mounting bracket - https://www.google.com/search?q=curt+58301&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiFwtbwo5rjAhXbLc0KHfY7DbMQ_AUIEygE&biw=1366&bih=652 I got a generic bracket like that at the local U-haul a couple years ago for like $5. Still...
