    Looking for brake upgrade C3500 CC DRW

    I have a 96 C3500 CC DRW, 7.4L 4L80E. I am looking for a brake upgrade for towing. I recently trailered a Trailblazer SS on a open trailer and it was kind of sketchy. I think I need a better brake controller as well. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Craig

    Turn signal and back-up lights not working

    So on my 1996 3500 DRW CC LB I didn't have any back up lights. I did some work on the truck (Bell Tech lowering kit) and the battery went dead. I charged up the battery and got the truck running. Once I did I had no radio turn signals or back-up lights. I checked the fuses and found several...
