  3. Turn Signal

    in Radio/Electronics/Security

    Posted

    Have all LED lights and recently I have had an issue with my passenger side turn signal light staying solid while A-My headlights are on, and B-when I have my fogs on. It functions normally when the lights are off during the day. It was an intermittent issue at first, but now just stays solid. Any help or direction is appreciated. 

  4. Lowered Problems

    **Update  Well, since the last update I had the transfer case input shaft stripe out, so I swapped in a used unit. Also lost a pair of u joints in the front causing damage to the driveshaft, smashed header tubes, oil filter etc.. Replaced the u joints only to see them fail (that's what I get for buying AZ sh*t). Had new driveshaft made with spicer U joints. Ended up cracking the passenger axle tube in the process, so I ended up with a front diff from a denali, so at least I can rebuild that one to have a spare..Also did new brakes all the way around, and upgraded the front to the Tahoe brakes, haven't noticed much difference honestly yet, will prob replace all the brake lines in a few months.

    **Update.. This weekend the truck developed a nasty vibration upon acceleration, but went away if I set my cruise or stayed under 30MPH.. I'm guessing CV joints aren't happy. Will probably turn the torsion bars back up a bit to alleviate some of that..or 1" spacers...PITA

    So i recently dropped my truck with DJM 3" Lower Arms, and a 4" Shackle/Hanger kit in back.. with DJM shocks in the 4 corners and energy suspension leaf and sway bar bushings. 16 Years of midwest winters really screwed the bolts on my truck..lots of cutting and cussing..lol Anyway, put it all back together and drove it and it was fine, bottomed out a bit over bumps, but drove great other than that. Then filled my gas tank without thinking of the extra weight..That's when my problems started. Thought possibly the U joints may have been going out since they were probably the originals (190K) but it sounded more metal-ish. On my way home from my sons baseball practice, and the drive shaft let go, making the most god awful sound as it bounced from the ground to the floor board and back around again.. Long story short, the aluminum drive shafts are sh*t and rubbing on the cross member will leave you broken. ?, getting a new 3.5" Steel one made now, and will have to C-Notch and probably install helper bags. But it looks good.

    Thank you!

     

    Soooo the rust free box I got had a dent on the driver box side which i was aware of obviously, however It was also full of bondo so I elected to put a new GM box side on it. On the plus side this box is absolutely flawless in terms of rust

    Is there much difference in the ebay truck bed sides and the GM ones? I know th eGM will be higher quality, but didn't know if I could get away with the Ebay ones

    Ahh I see.. so basically it replaces that plate and then also allows you to run your own lines. Do you think I'd be able to run braided stainless steel lines the whole way? The OEM oil cooler lines are part hard-line and part rubber.

    Yeah you’ll be fine. I’m running Braided from there to the cooler.. I think it looks better than the factory lines. Also doing my trans cooler lines in braided too

    Sorry to dig up an old thread, but this is exactly what I want to do. My oil cooler lines are leaking as well and I'd rather just solve the problem once and for all.

    How exactly do I convert the steel tubing to the AN fitting though? Does this require welding at all? I think I generally understand how this all works but I'm not sure, still pretty new to all this.

    Earls makes a billet plate that bolts to the engine and has male AN Line ends you can use to run line to the radiator. You will need to get adapters to go from the radiator line to AN. 

  19. time to repair, restore, part out, or sell. need advice.

    I'm in the same boat, being a Indiana truck mine has a rusty bed sides (just above the arches) cab corners and rockers, plus the pass fender has bubbles forming and the shitty GM clear coat peeling.  I picked up a red fender at the junkyard, and am hunting either good bedsides at the yard, or will buy a new bed. I'm going to restore mine as it's my daily and I just love these trucks. I don't see them everyday on the road like newer trucks or just plain silverados. My wife (who hates my automotive addiction) mentioned this weekend I should just get a new truck..lol.. She was shocked I said no thanks..
