it's possible that the main power line going into the cab is not handling the draw. check voltage at the battery and then again at the cig lighter plug. if you get different reading with everything on (fan, lights etc ) then it's the small gauge wire GM used to power the entire cab. I...

Harbor freight's connector terminals are junk, tools are good but the terminals aren't. I would venture around for some quality terminals from Napa like Marty mentioned, or if you want the universal ones, Home depot has some good ones that are also insulated...

Those GM alternators are pretty resilient. fixing that wire and you should be good to go.

The one you circled is just a run of the mill female spade crimp connector, you can get them at any local auto parts or even at home depot in the electric isle. I assume that one wire is coming off the double connector on the side of the alt. that further up is an inline diode to prevent...

Nice! the one I have is a chineeesium special from amazon. I ordered the one with a mechanical timer and knob dial for the temp thinking that the digital one might go bad before the rest of it failed. I'd rather go mechanical over electronics when possible. I found on cleaning fluids that...

I need to check them out. always afraid to order from them.

Normally for me on amazon aka "the jungle site" I won't order anything that doesn't show "Prime". showing prime says it's sitting in an amazon warehouse and your dealing directly with amazon for payment and shipping instead of the seller. reading in their policies, it's basically the same...

I will second that notion! check fuel pressure from the lift pump. find the inlet fuel line going into the injection pump, if it's a rubber hose, disconnect it from the IP and plumb in a tee for a gauge. idk what the pressure spec is (probably around 7-8 PSI) also if you can, install a short...

Man keep that BP in check. as we get older we find out all the silly thing we did in our young age catches up with us. My wife has already been put on BP medication at the age of 45. I'm 46 working on 47 and hope I can stay off having to be taking meds for life like that. She constantly...

How fast does temu items deliver? I have always avoided them thinking it's all shipped direct from china overseas

Thanks for that. at some point I would like to take the IP that I have mounted on a 6.2 and try going through it my self. I figure as long as I don't mess with any adjustments I would be able to reseal it along with check for wear and tell if it's fubar or worth running / full rebuild if...

Curious if this bristol bolt is present on a DB2 IP for our 6.2's / 6/5's. where is this bolt located on or in the IP?

Looks good! how do you access the bulbs on those housings?

use lots of anti-seize I would also dab some hot glue on the small screw heads so that they are sealed from the Philips head rusting out. you can always heat the tip of the screwdriver to melt into the hot glue if you need to remove later. you might even coat the steel plates with something...

how thick is the steel back plate? would it be thick enough to run an 8-32 tap through and get enough threads to hold similar to how a self tapper would on sheet metal? the nutserts I was thinking of are made for setting into plastic with a soldering iron. normal nutserts aren't threaded all...

Take the key you have that works the ignition to one of the auto parts houses and have them check it. iirc they have the equipment to tell you if the key has a working chip. as for getting the passlock to learn a key, idk if the tech2 will do it, but I have heard that you have to have 2...

Something I learned a while back, heat is the #1 killer on LED lights. lately I have seen a lot of aftermarket headlight bulbs that don't have the built in fan in the back. when we were looking for LED bulbs for my son's truck there were a load of them without fans for cooling. back when I...

what about using some nut-zerts (or whatever their called) or tack welding some small machine nuts on the base plate so you can use some stainless machine screws instead of rivets? iirc they make brass nut inserts that you could drill out the base plate to the proper size, then drive the...

looks like those are carriage bolts made to adjust in the slots. you should be able to find some stainless carriage bolts to go back together with, if not, try electroplate the new ones with brass to help make them live longer. you can do the steel brackets as well while it's apart.

what caused you to go unconscious? Glad that didn't happen while on the road!
