    88gmctruck's 1999 K2500 L65 cranks but doesn't start.

    What you describe sounds just like after I messed up the passlock in my wife's 99 burb when I was doing the remote start install. You may try disconnecting both batteries for a period of time and reconnecting - in an attempt to reset the passlock.

    On the subject of fuel -- Aux fuel tank/ bigger for a Burb

    Pretty sure TD's Burb is a 2wd with 3.42 gears. That sure helps the fuel mileage!! I wish I could get close with either of mine, but with one in need of injectors, and the other an IP... I am lucky to get 16/14 out of them.....

    Alternator Charge Wire Reccommendations?

    How is the wiring done on the dual alternator setup? Can this be done on the older trucks (like my 95?)

    1999 Sub rear heat tees...part number anyone?

    I walked into either NAPA or Autozone and bought a heater hose T that worked just fine for mine. Just need to know what size hose you are dealing with.

    High Only Blower Motor

    I had one of my switches start smoking once. That incident has encouraged me to keep a small fire extinguisher in all our vehicles now - within handy reach of the driver. (wifes is on the center hump - havent decided where mine shall live in the burb yet)

    My Plow Truck

    I need to try a timbren kit in mine as for ballast... not sure how much is really needed in a suburban :-) Not to mention, by the time i add my tools I keep in it, and such, its probably enough.

    Thermo-actuators suck.

    My Plow Truck

    Looking through the Fisher documentation (as I just put my MM1 on the other night) there was 5 pump styles for the MM1. They can be seen here - http://library.fisherplows.com/publications.asp?cat=248 Mine has the SEHP (solenoid electric hydraulic pak) For the most part, I prefer it -...

    Block heater wattage

    I have the same thing. I think I have it set to turn on about 4am, off at 11am. When I leave in the morning, I move the cord from my truck to hers, so hers warms up too. If she doesnt leave by 11, she usually isnt going anywhere anyway. Works really well for us.

    Keyless entry, any one ever put one in?

    95 factory remotes are easy to do.... I did mine when I put a new battery in it. Involves jumping pins on the OBDI connector - google it! :-)

    Keyless entry, any one ever put one in?

    I put a full out remote start system in my wifes 99 Burb a couple years ago. Wasnt too bad of a project, I just wish I had better wiring diagrams of what was needed for it when I did the project, as i missed an ignition wire. Now when you remote start it, the headlight buzzer runs until you...

    ABS and Auto 4wd

    Ok, so I stand corrected, it is the 246. RPO NP8. I dont really understand why it was considered 'weaker' though. I thought it was the same case as the 241, with a modification to allow the 'auto/full time' For the record, our 99 is a 3/4 ton as well. A 'heavy' 3/4 at that, as it has the...
