    Holy Voltage batman - installed Mechman 170amp alternator

    Went from having a slowly failing stock alternator to this! After some driving around etc, the voltage dropped down to the 14.6/7 range while running with all accessories on! Easy install, definitely recommend the mechman if you need a little extra voltage in your life.

    I'm in love with my 90 2500

    I need to find out - RPO codes are unfortunately missing out of the glove box - I do a lot of longer driving and have already tossed around the idea of looking into 3.23s or something in that range to re-gear. Lots of longer trips to go camping etc - so the better fuel mileage would definitely...

    Great trans for sure, too bad something like a gear drive overdrive setup is so expensive. If the TH400 was a 4 speed, it would be perfect.

    I'm in love with my 90 2500

    Haven't had it long, just returned from a 600 mile round trip to pick up a camper shell that I love - I love the raised roof and "skylights"..Apparently this makes me an old man lol. But it required crossing over the Cascade mountains twice to get it - other than gas mileage, the truck ran and...

    (88-94) Wanted a new radio with factory looks and modern features, RetroSound installed!

    No CD player, but I'm fine with that and most people are these days. You get aux/bluetooth etc which is what I'd venture the majority of people use anymore these days. The aux/bluetooth cables also come out the back and down the bottom of the dash so it can be hidden and just adds to that...

    (88-94) Wanted a new radio with factory looks and modern features, RetroSound installed!

    Yeah, haven't even looked to be honest - it's just a generic 1990 2500 Single cab, nothing fancy, manual windows/doors all that fun stuff.

    (88-94) Wanted a new radio with factory looks and modern features, RetroSound installed!

    It was pretty much plug and play once you get the factory crap out of the way. Not much different than installing a regular aftermarket radio. Today I added a couple Pyle 4x6 speakers to the front (dash) to replace the originals. Big difference but man it could use some bass. The rear speakers...

    Does anyone have the hvac schematic for the control panel? (1990 2500)

    Finally had a little time to figure it out this morning. Turned out to be one of the plugs that goes into the ignition switch on top of the steering column had pulled out. Made a quick video for anyone interested as I hadn't seen this as a solution posted anywhere.

    (88-94) Wanted a new radio with factory looks and modern features, RetroSound installed!

    I've never been a big fan of mounting a single din in the middle of the dash in these trucks and as I get older I appreciate cleaner/more factory style with a lot of things. My original radio didn't work so I did some research and came across the retro sound unit. It has factory looks but has...

    Looking for new 88-94 Stainless Mirrors

    I've been able to find them in the JY for cheap. I have a pair that I need to swap because the drivers side mirror glass is cracked.

    Camper Shell/Canopy for 90 Single Cab Long Bed

    I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I'm looking for a camper shell/canopy/topper whatever you want to call it for my 90 2500 SCLB. Haven't been having much luck trying to find any that are/were made for that body style, wondering what other makes/models might be compatible that I can...

    Does anyone have the hvac schematic for the control panel? (1990 2500)

    When I got the truck a few months ago, one issue it had was the radio wasn't working. I ordered a retro sound factory unit that still allowed me to have aux etc but also still look factory. I removed the factory stereo and the CMD (I think that's what it's called, the part under the dash that...

    90 Grey button no Max button Climate Control bad?

    I'm having a similar issue and getting frustrated - I pulled out the stock radio as I'm replacing it (still waiting on the replacement to arrive). My AC/Heat worked fine before pulling the radio head unit out..Thinking maybe I pulled a a connector out of the hvac controls or something when I...

    93 Factory Radio repair options?

    I'm 0-1 on the factory replacement from Ebay, so I ordered the Retrosound. I would also prefer the factory unit, but the retro sound unit is as close as it'll get. I don't like moving a single din to the middle of the dash, just not my style. I would be fine with FM alone as well if the factory...

    93 Factory Radio repair options?

    The CDM is right under the steering part of the dash. Looks easy enough to pull out. I bought a factory headunit off ebay, my old one would turn on but wouldn't function normally etc so I was pulling the old one out and started running out of daylight when it occurred to me that the issue is...

    Thank you, that's what I was hoping!

    93 Factory Radio repair options?

    I'm looking at the retro sound after having the typical issues with my 90 that I just bought. Does the retrosound use the factory cdm/equalizer under the dash or does that become irrelevant with the upgrade to the retro sound?

    All the ones I could find from JY were either broke or already gone.

    The Stupid Interior Questions Thread

    I'm sorry if this has already been answered, but I could use new door panels (manual locks/windows), and a headliner, I found a headliner at a local JY that was perfect, same color blue interior and everything but it was crumbling and moldy when I started pulling it out, looked good from...

    Mirrors

    I was actually about to post the same question, I just bought my 90 and was wondering about swapping the mirrors as well!
