    Bumper question...

    I came across a 1999 Tahoe 1500 4dr Z71 the other day. It has the diesel bumper, had a gas 350. Talked to the owner(original owner at that) and said he picked it up from the stealership like that.

    KC HID wiring conundrum

    Update on this. Finally got around to actually wiring this stuff in. Switched out the 24V relay with a 12V and everything worked.....almost. When I first got eveything wired and put the in line fuse in the left light came on. I didn't have the light switch on.(Power is coming from 30A posts on...

    How do you carry your cash?

    Funny, 12 ga diesel, I used to carry my little bit of greenbacks wrapped around my debit card, driver's license, etc., held with a rubberband as well, but now have a metal money clip with a credit card holder on the other side that the wife got me for my birthday. Really like it.

    That pesky PMD problem has finally got me

    Well, well, I can no longer feel superior or maybe, more appropiately, luckier than the average 6.5 owner. I still had the PMD on the injection pump and, until this week and last, had had no issues with it. Towed hot and heavy and no issues. I would read the posts of PMD issues and feel...

    Hey, it was great to meet everybody and to put a face to the name. Special thanks to Mike and Karla for hosting the GTG. Hopefully there will be more GTGs in the cards down the road. Still need a chance to sign the "can".:)

    Blew a new one up this week

    The Hummer was put together at the RSMS in Texas. Not sure where the motor was rebuilt as I couldn't find any tags on it. We got 5 newly rebuilt Hummers and 4 went down in under 2,000 miles. The other three were transmission related; ECM were bad or loose wiring caused by incorrect size connectors.

    Blew a new one up this week

    Had my Annual Training this week with the National Guard, and much to my surprise, I had a brand spankin' new rebuilt Hummer(M1097) sitting in the parking lot for my command vehicle. Went to South Dakota and, to make a long story short, at 1477 miles it threw a rod. I'm pretty sure it had a...

    Good, Cheap EGT & Boost Gauges and Pod

    My setup are Glo Shift gauges; price was, I believe, $199 for boost, pyro, trans, and three gauge A pillar pod. They have worked great for me, but they have not been compared against a scanner simultaneously reading the same temps. Anyway, here is the link: www.glowshiftdirect.com I think...

    KC HID wiring conundrum

    I checked the ballasts. They are 40 watt ballasts with a range of 9-32V. So I don't see why they wouldn't work on a 12V system. But the switch to turn them on needs to be connected to a 24V source, according to the instructions. BS? I looked at the switch and it is a garden variety on/off...

    KC HID wiring conundrum

    Got these sweet KC HIDs, but requires 24V. Is there a way to still make these work? Some folks have said to just change the relay to a 12V, but does that address the 24V source on the switch? Do I need to change something in the ballasts? I'm pretty incompetent with wiring/electrical, so spell...

    I'm not getting an error; rather Photobucket doesn't "see" the PDF in my pictures folder. So I need to convert it to a photo format?
