What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

RE: Emblem on front fender…
Air Vent louvre for the fenders from Run Cool. Used to have hood louvres too but, that hood died from a lack of common sense. After a paint job, I’ll put them back on the replacement hood.

BigT and I used our trucks for a great photo op at the end of a short GTG at my place.

He’s north bound to the homestead in MT now.

Happy Father’s Day all.

Thank you Paveltolz for hosting me. Glad you finally got to drive the ‘99 after our Optimizer install last August (transfer case was stuck in neutral, so we couldn’t drive it). I’ll some minor things to work on, but hopefully I am mostly fishing. The 2nd leg of the trip to Montana was uneventful.

I know have 4,000 miles on the 6.5 Optimizer.

Glad to host you for a change. Sure is a happy truck and don’t we all have “just a couple of things” on the punch list?
Good to hear you’re safely in MT. Enjoy the time together with the spousal unit.

The 6.5 in his HumVee sounds like it has lost a cylinder.

Funny, in the video they were bragging about the owner being a billionaire.

Stepsons wifey was in Billings this morning. I was making plans to make that drive over to Harbor Fright to get one of those $29.99 compression test kits.
I called Nicole and asked if she could stop over there and pick up one of those for Me.
She was plenty happy to do so.


Apparently they were out of the 29 dollar units so she brought back this one.
Seems to have the 10mm GP adapter so its all good by Me.



I prefer tools in their case.
She told me, do not even attempt to pay me for this. Anytime Nick needs help or advice with tools You are always there and ready and willing.
I told Her, yeah well Nick always works on the fun stuff so its always enjoyable.

While I have enough of the pereferals removed from the engine to try and figure where the oil is leaking from, going to run a compression test, as was suggested by @Will L. In earlier threads and posts.
At the least doing a compression test now will give Me a base line for diagnosing any unforeseeable events down the road.

I started on the install of this Pioneer head unit in the ‘99 Suburban:

Amazon.com

This is narrower than the original stereo units, so I had to order adapter brackets and face plate to the fill the gaps:



I’m done with some of the wiring as I pursue a process of elimination.

1. I need to wiring to the power side of the parking brake switch, but where is this switch?

2. Need to wire to the lights on switch, same thing: where?

3. Need to wire to back-up lights so it knows whether I’m in reverse or going forward. Where?

4. Unit has all sorts of single post receptacles for speakers. How do I accomplish that when the existing were in a single plug?
