    GMT 800 Brake Conversion > Silverado HD 2500

    I need a new set of knuckles because I reemed too deep for the tie rods. There is a 2011 HD at an LKQ Pik a Part yard and they have a 50% off sale this weekend. Would the knuckles from a 2011 HD work as replacements?

    I was silent on this when you bought it. Wish you had asked here, because this model is well known for electrical gremlins.

    I have literally done all of this and will have to do it again when I paint the truck because the paint on the handle is chipped up pretty ugly:

    I need to get back to the remote rear door lock issue I originally started this thread for. At least I corrected most of the stereo and speaker issues.

    I bet you the OEM rods were hecho in China.

    I just did this to get the clip back onto the latch rod at the latch.

    That was my next step, but right now it’s opening nicely. RockAuto does sell replacement rods. I’d probably go that route.

    OK I verified the rear roof speakers are not work and the control for them on the Pioneer Head Unit is greyed out. Did some YouTube research and it’s due to the parking brake line. I simply grounded mine to get the head unit to work, but it still creates issues with the rear roof speakers. On...

    Replaced the driver’s side interior handle as the existing was bent, which made it extremely difficult to open as the length of pull on the actuator rod was severely diminished. RockAuto had a close out on handles for $3.98, but shipping was $11.98, so I ordered 3 handles to justify the shipping...

    Oh I forgot, installed my JBL Speakers in the rear passenger doors of the ‘99 Suburban. They are much nicer. Now I need to do this on the front doors, then rear roof speakers.

    Took ‘99 K2500 Suburban in for ac recharge. Last charge a year ago. Mechanic says the compressor has a really slow leak and only fix is to replace it. Need to go through receipts to check on the warranty for the Sanden compressor as it was installed just two years ago. Separately also got my...

    95 6.5 TD new injectors - now low mpg

    Engine Coolant says 211+. If you’d going to tow, you need to replace that GM turbo with something larger. If you had a load on, then your mpg will be way lower. 10 mpg is not unheard of depending on the size of the load.

    95 6.5 TD new injectors - now low mpg

    Engine Coolant Temp at 203+ is on the warm side. Boost pressure of 24+ psi is extremely high.

    Remote Control Door Lock Receiver

    So I have the speaker removed from the second DS door. Playing with volume and bass and the speaker on the PS second door crackles badly on bass. So that one is gone. I suspect I will end up replacing all the speakers in the end. Then I will add giant subwoofers and a huge amp and lower the...

    Remote Control Door Lock Receiver

    This is for the JBL speakers I bought. More watts power than the Fosgate. 3 ohm which is better suited for the thin wiring that GM uses. Fits my ‘99 (don’t need their covers).
