    P0430 - With Data

    I have had the P0430 code for some time now. Finally getting around to figuring out what is going on. I have watched a bunch of videos and read a bunch of threads. I am looking to confirm my data with others who have more experience to say "yeah" or "neah" to a bad catalytic. Before that, I...

    Acquiring Arteb Brazil GMT400 headlight reflectors

    If anyone is one the fence about purchasing these because of the logistics of the transaction I want to give a shout out to @1998_K1500_Sub. He has been a very responsive seller and always keeps you in the know about the status of your order. Very good communication! I am very happy with my...

    Arteb Brazil GMT400 headlight users thread

    OK, that makes sense why the Amazon link you posted in #2 comes up with NightGuide Platinum. Oh well, I got the Sylvania Xtravision high and low installed. I also got the lens all cleaned and dried. More importantly the light is re-installed with all drains pointed down :cool:. I positioned the...

    Arteb Brazil GMT400 headlight users thread

    So late last night I was able to take a look at my waterlogged drivers side light. I am hoping that it was just total user error :( After taking the grill off, so I could inspect, I immediately found that two of the drains were pointed straight UP!! Seriously. Anyway the rest of the night was...

    Thanks for the reply. I will get the housing out of the truck tomorrow and inspect. I have the same bulbs that have been in the truck for the 4 years I have owned it, just standard Halogens. But I can check the fitment as well as inspect the city light hole.

    mn_ski Daily Driver - Keep it on the Road

    Outside would have been brutal for sure! Temps here last weekend were around 0F with wind chills around -20F. Although I certainly have done work before at those temps, I am not sure I would have attempted the change in those conditions this time. I would have waited for warmer weather or...

    Possibly under body spray hit it just right. I have been driving around with my headlights on trying to warm them up but no results, too cold!

    Time for a little maintenance over the past weekend. For a few weeks now I have been having a squeak coming from the front of the motor. Noise increases with RPM of motor. Was getting to the point of starting to sound like metal grinding. The sounds changed with ambient temps going up or down (...

    Arteb Brazil GMT400 headlight users thread

    About 2 weeks in to having my Artebs installed and I got moisture in the driver's side headlight after going through the car wash. :( Up close you can see the water droplets sitting on the inside of the lens. I am pretty sure I have all of my drains pointed down. Is there anything I can do to...

    New scanner

    Any results or thoughts on the Xtool A30M? Curious if anyone has used Innova? They seem to be engineered and assembled in the USA. https://www.innova.com/

    Super Stoked, I finally got my Arteb headlights installed!! I bought these in October of 2022 from @1998_K1500_Sub . He was an excellent seller and I highly recommend buying these lights from him if you are in the market. I also installed a set of TYC front marker lights just to help cleanup the...

    Odd brake pedal behavior

    Curious if there has been any resolution to this? I am getting similar symptoms but only when it is around 20F or less ambient temperature outside. Basically the pedal will sometimes stick or give a feeling that the pedal is being sucked towards the floor. I can pull the padal back up with my...

    Everything is Alpine. Front speakers are S2-S65C component woofer and tweeter. I did get a new KTA-450 amp. With that amp came some instructions to change the dip switch settings that I was using. So far the feedback has gone away but with any decent amount of gain set on the amp I get some...

    Got some new tires on the truck. I cannot believe what a difference that has made. The truck drives so smooth now. I drove it out to Denver and back. 1800 miles and it never missed a beat! BFGoodrich All Terrain T/A Load Range E. Still working through the stereo install. Crutchfield is...

    mn_ski Daily Driver - Keep it on the Road

    Spent some more time this weekend working on the stereo install. I can't say enough about Crutchfield tech support. I have called and chatted with those folks a dozen times during this install. First thing I did was run dedicated 12AWG wire from battery to the back of the stereo for the amp. I...

    I got started on my Metra DP-3003 installation tonight. I previously colored the Metra bezel which I will post about later. Tonight was getting the new head unit installed so I could remount the HVAC controls. Fitment wise I am very happy with the Alpine iLX-407 that I am installing. It has a...

    I got the rears installed. I went with 4" 2 way speakers from Alpine. So all of the speakers now have been replaced and even with the stock stereo they sound great...really not just because the 25 year old ones were blown out, lol.

    mn_ski Daily Driver - Keep it on the Road

    Yeah, I agree. I wasn't there and who knows how loud the kids were screaming at the time. I just empathised and moved on. I am getting quotes to get it fixed. Anyone else have a challenge getting new speakers to fit in the rear of the extended cab? I think the new speakers I bought are just...

    mn_ski Daily Driver - Keep it on the Road

    I made some progress on upgrading my audio. I didn't realize before I started that both front and rear drivers side speakers did not work. Front was physically blown out broken! I started with replacing the fronts. The brackets that come with the speakers didn't seem like they would work on...

    E15 or E85 Fuel in Vortec Engines

    About 9 months ago I switched to filling my truck exclusively with 91 Non Oxy. Non Oxy is readily available here. For me I noticed my average MPG increase 2-2.5 MPG.

    Yesterday was an unfortunate day for the truck. Wife was driving with the kids. As they often do, they stopped to grab the mail before turning into the driveway. This time my wife didn't take the turn wide enough and she cough the mailbox. Mailbox dug its teeth in the box side. Everything can be...
