  1. A little wipe down with WD-40 will also do it. It also keeps your doors from freezing shut(which I'm sure is a huge concern for you southern boys). Maybe try a little grease on the check straps. The rear doors on my denali never got used, and sounded like haunted house doors, and a good greasing fixed them right up.

  2. Mine is AWD, The unit I have is a Kelsey. I think the problem is my chassis harness. The one I have is supposed to be correct for most any 05/06 ext cab/short box, but the more i research, it looks like SS(and maybe denali p/u) are by themselves. I think TRW is the other supplier.

  3. Having some trouble on my truck. According to my interchange, 03-06 SS uses the same abs pump/module. My truck is an 05, and I ordered a unit that came off an 03 ss. The main plug is different between the two. Anyone know if the 05 module is different or have a pic? All the pics online looks like 03/04 are the same, and 05/06 are the same. Just trying to figure out what I actually need.

  4. The heated elements have green plugs, pretty easy to spot. The bottom seat bun comes off fairly easy, even when the seat is bolted in the truck. Its likewise pretty easy to throw in a lower element. The upper is kind of a bastard(especially if you haven't messed with seats before). Don't replace that one unless you have too. The under seat plugs are pretty easy to figure out, but the plugs for the front/back up/down motors are the same and can be swapped. So if you get it back together, and the adjustment switches do something totally different than what they're supposed to, that's what went wrong.

    I'd buy that if the price was right! Is that a dealer only auction?

    Its @ copart. I think you need a membership. Like $300/year, but anyone can be a member.

     

    I only found like 2-3 V-max crews nationwide on the sales, and they were all fubar.

     

    I like the black and silver ones, but the price seems high for the age/miles. But maybe I'm just used to the cheap salvage prices.

  6. As has been said, its a pretty open ended question. How deep down the rabbit hole do you want to go? Will a '99 2wd rc/sb with 250k miles on the 4.8, with SS cladding hung on it work for you? Does it need to be a rust free low mile '06 with LQ9/AWD with mods? I guess I'd start with finding a truck to build off of, and start crunching numbers. I can't see it coming in under $5k for a modest build, and shooting past $10k for something more righteous. Being in Alaska will make it more of a challenge. At about the $7-8k mark, I'd just start looking for a higher mile SS to work with rather than the clone route, would be cheaper and worth more in the end.
