    Floating Display Single Din

    I’ve been very happy with the whole install. The Suburban has been a daily driver this whole time. About 11k miles worth. It’s even seen a fair bit of logging road miles, and nothing has shifted or gotten squeaky . I wish Id bought the right color paint, but that’s the only thing I would do...

    Looking for topper pictures

    This has been on the truck since it was new. I probably would have taken it off if I had a tailgate and any of the hardware. I’ve learned to love it though. My solution for taller loads is having another truck, lol. As a bonus, t’s a lot easier to load being so low.

    single din receiver/with wider screen

    I was exploring that same option myself. I couldn’t find a good picture of one in a gmt400. The pictures I saw of these stereos in gmt800s made it seem like one of the large floating displays would block hvac controls, the vent, and crowd the gear selector. To add to that, I couldn’t find a...

    Aluminum radiator install 99 gmc 7.4l

    Those RW8044 adapters didn’t work out, fwiw. I’m thinking of building some AN cooler hoses.

    Floating Display Single Din

    I found it said med beige on the back side of some of the interior panels. I think I messed up by going off of an online vin decoder instead of actually looking at the RPOs in the glove box. It doesn’t even bother me anymore though. I am partially color blind, so there’s that, lol. I gotta...

    Floating Display Single Din

    That’s not a bad idea. There’s probably a good $17 worth of paint left in that can, lol. Be a shame to waste it.

    Floating Display Single Din

    They almost got me with the floating display. It seemed like a good idea until they started making them so big they interfered with the hvac controls, vent, and possibly gear selector. I feel like I dodged a bullet. The extra labor was worth the clean and uncluttered dash. I’ve been playing...

    Floating Display Single Din

    Thank you. It’s the Atoto camera that popped up in the eBay recommendations. https://www.ebay.com/itm/ATOTO-AC-4486-Waterproof-High-Definition-License-Plate-Car-Rear-View-Camera-/144160964529?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0

    New Radio, how to wire

    I literally just did this today. All you have to do is hook up the blue “power antenna” wire in the harness. We don’t have power antennas, but it sends the signal to turn on the factory rear speaker amp. If you have the amp, your rear door speakers won’t work unless you hook up that wire or...

    Floating Display Single Din

    I finally got mine installed. I wanted to wait until I had my backup camera wired in so I wouldn’t have to keep removing the bezel. Either the SEM version of “Light Neutral” is way lighter than GM’s, or I miss read my RPO code. It’s so far off, it looks intentional. I’ll spare myself...

    Aluminum radiator install 99 gmc 7.4l

    I bought a eBay aluminum rad. I had good luck with the one I installed in my 360 powered CJ5. The trans cooler lines seem good to go, but the oil cooler lines were kicking my butt. I ordered some RW8044 brass fittings that are supposed to adapt it. I won’t know for sure until they arrive...

    I’m sorry sir, I had my characters mixed up. I meant MT454.

    I think Lund called them Racerbacks. Lund sold a boatload of Moonvisors and Sunvisors around here. The Racerbacks never caught on though.

    Aluminum radiator install 99 gmc 7.4l

    I find myself in the same situation as you Erik. Did you figure anything out for your rig? I have access to a truck shop, and couldn’t find anything that will work after scouring 4 stacks of Lawson bins and raiding the random fitting totes. I’m tempted to return the radiator.

    The knock off Trucklite headlights were money well spent.

    Floating Display Single Din

    I just missed that same Pioneer head unit. It went out of stock right after I put it in my cart, lol. Double din it is. I ended up ordering the Metra double din bezel and SEM paint. I couldn’t find a floating display that didn’t give off big screen, trying too hard vibes. After reading a...

    Got Another

    Quite a few come from the PNW. There are a couple of outfits that specialize in GMT400s and OBS Fords. You’ll find them on eBay asking a small fortune. Both of mine were Craig’s List finds.

    Floating Display Single Din

    Weighing options for a new head unit in my 99 Suburban. The goal is to have Apple CarPlay so I can use iTunes and google maps. I keep going back and forth between the Metra double din bezel and cutting the dash, or going with a single din with a floating display. It would be a fair bit of...

    Got Another

    I picked up a companion rig for my 2000 Chevy. Found a really clean 1999 GMC Suburban 2500 SLT with the 454. There’s already a parts list of plain old maintenance items. It needs a radiator and valve cover gaskets first, followed by freshening up the front end. She’s making noises while...

    2000 K2500 ECSB

    I’ve been lurking around and studying for a while. I haven’t been on a forum for a few years now, although I’ve belonged to a dozen or more over the years. I have bounced around between the big 3 manufacturers and from gas to diesel, then back to gas, lol. This is my second GMT400 not...

    Sweet truck! I think less is more sometimes.
