    Tapping for a exhaust temp gauge

    I didn't find much in the search on the topic. I'm not exactly sure where the temp sensor goes in the first place, let alone how to do it. I think it goes pre-turbo, but I'm not sure. Could someone please post a picture and give me some information on how to do it? Also, I'm considering...

    Help decifering wastegate controllers

    Mine is an "F" code as well. I wasn't planning on going over 12 PSI. Eventually this Suburban is getting a 4" exhaust and modified PCM as well. I don't plan on towing often with it, but I want it to be able to do it when I ask.

    Wiring nightmare under my dash

    I'll dig into it on Wednesday. Too late tonight and I'm working tomorrow.

    Help decifering wastegate controllers

    I just ordered a pair of gauges and a 3 gauge pod actually. I'll add the trans temp sensor later. Heath's told me that I NEEDED a modified computer to use the Turbo Master because it creates 15+ PSI of boost and that'll screw with my computer. If I keep the boost turned down, that will fix...

    Wiring nightmare under my dash

    The ABS light went out on it's own. The door locks still don't work. I tried from the passenger door and also the cargo doors and the locks don't work there either. That leads me to believe it's unlikely a single wire, but it could be possible...

    Help decifering wastegate controllers

    I placed the order about an hour and a half ago. Two weeks back ordered! I will probably attempt to make my own in the mean time, though. I have decent capabilities to fabricate. I have a welder and some skill at welding, drills, vices, grinders, etc. I just don't have a lathe or mill...yet.

    gauge pod

    I have a '99 suburban and I'm looking for a gauge pod for it, but all I see are '95-98 pods or '99-05. I know that if the pillar fits an '05, it won't fit MY '99. Do I go for the '95-'98 A pillar?

    Sound deadening?

    You can just as easily use 1/4" underlayment board to fill the holes, hold it in with a few dabs of caulking or glue, and then deaden over that. It won't rattle and there's no welding required. Before you do that, though, I'd deaden the exterior door skin from the inside of the door. That is...

    Wiring nightmare under my dash

    I got lucky removing the wiring hack job. The person who wired it did not CUT any of the stock wiring harness. They peeled back the sheathing on the wires, separated the strands in two parts, shoved in the extra wiring, twisted the mess together, and slapped some tape around it. It was easy...

    Good, Cheap EGT & Boost Gauges and Pod

    Thanks for the Glow Shift recommendation. I'll be ordering a 30 PSI boost gauge and a EGT gauge tonight :)

    Wiring nightmare under my dash

    I plan on ripping it all out, but a wiring diagram would make it a whole lot easier. Maybe a few pics of a stock wiring harness too...

    Wiring nightmare under my dash

    Apparently that wiring is important. My security light came on, my ABS light came on, and my door locks quit working. I think I got it all plugged back in properly, but my ABS light is still on and my door locks still don't work. WTH.

    Wiring nightmare under my dash

    I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing that this is an aftermarket alarm system. I know nothing about it, but the wiring sure looks like a hack job to me. Here are a few pictures of whats in there. I need some guidance to see what I can pull out without affecting the truck. Is that array of...

    Help decifering wastegate controllers

    I've spent the past hour and a half reading up on the Turbo Master manual wastegate controller, how to make my own, etc. I really didn't learn a whole lot. Too many threads making it clear as mud. I was hoping someone else could shine some light on the topic. I've got a '99 K1500 Suburban...

    1999 Suburban in Maryland

    The dealer didn't carry the thermostats or the CTS, so I just ordered from GM Parts Direct for about half the cost of buying from the dealership. In a few days I'll reassemble my burb and have it back on the road again. Hopefully that'll clear the codes for good.

    1999 Suburban in Maryland

    I did not get an aftermarket FOB with the truck. I got a lock/unlock FOB with no battery and one key. I'm returning my NAPA t-stats (don't fit!) and getting OEM ones today. What a PITA to get two of those bolts out of the t-stat housing! My coolant temp reading on the dash read just above...

    1999 Suburban in Maryland

    I'm pretty sure the one code was a 0236. I forgot what the other one was. I grabbed a few pictures in the snow tonight: Anyone have an idea what these switches might be for?

    1999 Suburban in Maryland

    I may have already introduced myself here once before. I can't remember. I just picked up a '99 Suburban 1500 with a 6.5td yesterday. It's got 230k miles, a bit of body damage on the passenger side, but it seems to run pretty well. The leather seats aren't too worn for a vehicle with that...
