Glad you're back.

Sweet ride.

That's funny.

If the piece you need is the one that attaches to the hitch. The brake controller wiring is #15086884.

I was going to suggest a TBSS.

That looks bad ass.

Dec of 2004. Just a couple of months after buying the truck. I was on Fullsizechevy.com and started a thread about buying the truck when someone PMed me about this site. The rest is history.

Pull the trans, walk into their shop with it on one shoulder, and a pissed off look on your face, Throw it on the bench and say, "F**ker don't work!!" They be on it like ugly on an ape. Seriously, good luck with it.

Very good point, Brian. I have always used quality parts on my vehicles, because there is a difference. People in the know, know this. I've tried to explain that to customers for years. There raeely is a difference between an AC/Delco sensor, and a Niehoff besides price. Or that there is a difference between this $100 set of GM pads, and a "White Box" set for $20. Most people don't know, or don't care, about the diffent brands. They just want cheap. I worked in the aftermarket at a mom and pop auto parts, and a short stint at O'reilly (hated that job, btw), as did a co-worker here at the dealer I work for. We've both been in the business the same amount of time, and during the same time period. He labels the Autozones, and O'reillys as selling "White Boxes". Selling the cheapest crap they can find. They still have the quality stuff, but the end consumer would rather not spend that kind of money. This has pretty much killed the good ol' mom and pop stores. We've also started directing more of our business towards accessories on the retail side. We need to take it where we can get it.

A rednesk's last words, "Hold my beer. I'm gonna try something. " That was great.

I've been in the automotive business now ending my 22nd year this month, and alot has changed over that time. Our business has been slow lately, due some to the economy, and some to competition. So, we've been actively calling on customers to try to get business back up. What we're finding is a bit interesting. Number 1, DIYers are a dying breed. I'm talking as a whole. I know we have alot of DIYers on here, but we make up a small percetage of car owners/consumers out there. I learned alot from my dad, and grandfather, as I'm sure alot of you did. But I guess cars are getting more complicated. Let's face it, we are a dying breed, but let's keep it alive. Number 2, car/trucks seem to require less routine maintainence. 100K mile plugs, no distributors, no fuel filters. Warranty repairs are alot less than they were 10-15 years ago, so believe it or not they are made better. Number 3, too easy to buy a new car. with all the 0% deals, and employee pricing that was going on no one repairs their car. Alot of shops I've talked to have a hard time selling an A/C job, or even big brake jobs. People would rather trade it in than put $500-1000 in a 4 year old car, in parts of this market anyway. Kind of crazy, imo. Maybe some like to live in debt. Anyway, sorry for the long post. Just bored at work and been doing some thinking/speculating lately. I know we have some parts people, and techs on here. What's up in your area? Thoughts/opinions?

The wheels are factory 20s for a Tahoe/Suburban, but look like they have a different finish on them. Definitely not feeling it.

I'll even throw in a beach shot. Not the best beach, nor was it a sunny day, but it's "The Beach".

I'll thow mine in the ring.

Hope all is well, Dan. You and your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

As far as everything I've researched, with the pro you can log with or without a wide band. Also, with pro you can integrate the WB into your software. I believe you can add up to 4 external 5V accessories.

RST. The Regency conversion. I agree with what Steve said. Maybe he thought you were someone else, having a bad day, you hit a bump causing the light to glare in his eye, or whatever. I would blow it off this time, but if he hassles you again then it would be game on. I would then complain to his superiors.

I use 93 octane from QT (Qwik Trip). It's usually the cheapest, and runs really well in mine. They were one of the first gassolines rated as a top tier fuel (along with Chevron) by GM. Sometimes I use Shell, as I've had good luck with their gas.

I still want to do it, though. I'm reading as much as I can from these guys, and I'm glad y'all are willing to share your experience with us.

Very nice.

Very cool. They do grow fast.

One from last year.

We pretty much stopped giving each other gifts when the kids came along. Her birthday is 10 days after Christmas, though. So, I better think of something.
