    Forgot to add: The advantage of the pig-tail units is that once the bulb is locked in, it can be rotated 360 degrees in the headlight bucket. Helps you set the optimal beam pattern regardless of using projector or reflector housings.

    These are the replacement bulbs. They are the same rating as the previous ones but, these units utilize a pig-tail vs. direct plug in like the old ones. These also have a much larger fan. 60W 9006 HB4 LA Plus Series | 6,000LM 6000K LED Bulbs Older style w/ direct plug in. Still used in some...

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    Noticed the passenger side low-beam was dead. Seems I just put in bulbs but, after a records search, I purchased them in Dec of 2023 so, considering how long Halogens last, about normal lifespan. Unfortunately, only a 1 year warranty so, no joy there. Replacing bulbs has always been a grill...

    Misfire or broken parts 6.5 diesel

    Codes? Cylinder misfire would set a code but, not necessarily illuminate the Check Engine light.

    Fuel system setup

    I'm using the OEM Diesel Tank Sock. Marty, I'm glad the sending unit is working as advertised for ya. Did you buy the full replacement unit or just the metrum rod?

    Fuel system setup

    On sale, about $16. The $145 unit is just the rod. I have that and in my case, made the bouncing needle look more like a pole dancer twitching next to an ATM that only dispensed $1 bills. I also dislike the fuel levels represented. Too long to explain fully. Just suffice it to say, I have...

    Tech2 scanner

    Flea Bay's where I got my Kit, CKO to be fair but, it works well. There's a few claiming to be originals too. FWIW, Had to get a replacement part and was able to go to the Vetronix/Bosch site to source it. Did the same to get a friend an OBD II adapter after they'd misplaced theirs. Now he has...

    Tech2 scanner

    Tech 2 scanners, when bought as a kit, come with the adaptors that allow for connection to either OBD 1 or OBD 2. There are a lot of connectors, adaptors and such as CAN etc. that come with the kits.

    Or, difference between K1500 GM400 vs K2500 (IIRK BigT upgraded to GM800 too)

    At least, when it happened, you weren't approaching a 90 degree curve to the left with a truck that suddenly only goes straight...through the curve's run off gravel...towards a steep drop off. Good thing it wasn't at night in late November and snowing...no...wait.....

    Windshield developed a leak on the passenger side specifically and the headliner felt of moisture above the driver’s door. Since repainting is in the long range plan I had the windshield removed and then addressed any rust on the frame. The glass guy was amazed at how easily the glass came...

    Thanks for the Hood amigo. Hope to use it in its original color…. We’ll see.

    Road Trip to Kingman to grab a 24’ trailer to help my buddy haul some stuff back down there next week. We linked up for fuel in Cedar City UT. Before he headed home for another load. He’s got some stuff here in the Salt Lake Valley I’ll take back down to him. I grabbed the stuff from a...

    Seat Track 1996 K1500 Extended Cab

    Someone was in there after you were and got the lever off the seat back. I usually scarp those up whenever I see them. Honestly, I was surprised to see the cup holder as that's a rare item anymore too.

    Seat Track 1996 K1500 Extended Cab

    I'm willing to bet you've got what I used for a work around until I found this one. Weird how there are so many versions, even of the same thing. I pulled the slide out cup holder from the 95 in the yard and even it is slightly different from the one I'm replacing in my 96.
