Anyone know of some semi-easy to get ahold of switches that will look factory-ish, or better then some exposed toggles? I'd like to put two switches in (preferably below the cargo light switch). I have the push button 4x4, so that spot is out. Also, is there anywhere other then the GM dealer to...

Getting tired of having my gauges sitting in the box :p I got to thinking about it, and after all the fooling around with pulling the upper plennum, scraping, and putting on a new gasket, the time and money involved made it not seem so expensive. The guy who sells them is Leroy Linza and has...

Went to snow blow the neighbor's driveway after work (we got a nice 6" storm today and she's in her 80's) and there was no where to park since I had to clear her driveway and she lives on top of the hill. We are in a pretty rural area, she's about a half mile down the road. I pulled the truck...

I used to run class 8 dumptrucks, and LOVED having the jake brake. I know they make them for the smaller trucks, but do they (or rather, how do they) work with an auto? Who's got one, and can comment on the effectiveness on a light duty truck, namely our 6.5's? Do you still get the jake...

Ordered them up from kennedy and they showed up the next business day...helps only being a few hours away :D They look absolutely awesome, I'm surprised how complete and nice everything is. I'll have to do the install some friday at work when it's slow, who knows how far away that is...haha...

Aww crap... On my drive to work, truck ran great. It was -10 today, so I'm hoping that's the issue. I was coasting up to my second to the last turn and my "check gages" light came on. I immediately saw the oil pressure was low. Not at zero, but the next line up. The truck generally settles...

My truck likes to smoke white. If it's really cold (hovering around zero), it will smoke the whole half hour drive to work whenever on the throttle. If it's up above 15 or so, once the temperature gauge starts to move, it's pretty much done. I'm loosing coolant, but it's all going on the ground...

I'm guessing the trannies are the same since the bell housing pattern is the same. What about the flywheel/clutch setup? I'm going to eventually convert my truck over to a hand shaker, if I can use gasser parts I can source stuff MUCH easier. I'd preferably like to grab everything from the...

Well, looks like I'm getting a new crossover pipe! Mine just blew through on the drivers side on the way home from work. It had started leaking a little yesterday and I looked around, it sounded like a cracked manifold. It looked good, so I figured no big deal, I'd deal with it later. Well...

In every push button truck I've seen, the t-case is different from the manual version. Is it any more work then swapping out the t-cases, cutting the hole, and fitting the trim piece? I really dislike the push button, especially when it gets flakey. I pull the lever, I know it's in (unless the...

I have a turbomaster on my truck, the PO put it on. My truck really doesn't feel like it's got a whole lot of snot, so I'm figuring the turbo isn't putting out much boost. It's not throwing any codes. Is there anywhere that tells a rough boost for different settings? I know, get gauges, but I...

With their value on the scrap market, I'm a little hesitant to cut it out and gut it, when I can bring it in whole and get a chunk of change. I'm assuming diesel cats are worth the big bucks too? Anyone brought theirs in for scrap? What's the factory pipe size, 2.75"? I may just get a test pipe...

The brakes on my truck suck....bad. I know they aren't inherently this bad because I've driven other 3/4 ton and 1 ton trucks with the same setup and they felt like they'd throw you through the windshield. I think my issue is that I have a leaking wheel cylinder (one for sure, the backing plate...

Saw this on Heath's site today, my truck cycles the glowplugs after it's been started for a few cycles (light blinks on and off for about 30 seconds). Is it possible I've got an upgraded computer? The PO did put a turbomaster on it, so I'm wondering. I need to get some gauges so I can turn that...

I'm a recent oil burner convert. Long time admirer, first time owner kind of thing. So far I'm loving it, getting nearly 20mpg mixed driving, can't wait to get it on a long road trip and see how she does. I picked up my K2500 and am slowly tinkering here and there, fixing what needs fixing...

Heading down over the holidays to visit the wife's family. We are leaving WI around dec 16th and heading back around the 22nd. I can deliver trailers, or if you have a car you need moved I can (depending on weight) rent a u-haul and drop it off, or if it's heavy use my equipment trailer (but...
