Whats up all. Have'nt been here for awhile. If you really wanted to, you could do like i did to my motorcycle I had. Took a broom handle and ran it through the baffles. Sounded alot better.

doughboy5499

People would really think your promoting Gay Awareness. Pink and the whole rainbow thing. So that is a NO!

doughboy5499

They have them. I had one on mine. It is a s-10crwewcab.com sticker. There was a sticky about buying merchendise.

doughboy5499

As little work as it is. Take your radio out hook it up in his truck to see if it works. If it does, then make the deal.

doughboy5499

Wahtever you do, do not buy a replacement OEM speaker from the dealer. Just invest in som after market speakers. Better off for the money.

doughboy5499

Well here is mine. doughboy is a nickname a bunch of guys I used to work with gave me bout 10 yrs ago when I got out of HS. Everyone had nicknames and that was mine. The 5499 = May 4, 1999 my daughters b-day. Kinda simple.

doughboy5499

I just ordered mine today mine will say 1 NEWMAN my last name. Cost me $105 every yr.

doughboy5499

If it is your original battery then It is gonna need replaced soon. MIne died In my '01 but, at the same time my alternator died too. My new full size had same issues. First thing I did is take my alternator out and took it to a Mom and Pop place that rebuilds them. Good reputation. Alternator was g...

I went a yr and a half with no gas guage. It sucks cause everytime you get gas you gotta fill it up all the way or sit and do some calculations to see how much gas you used and how much you got left.

doughboy5499

When you put the receiver in, did you use a factory wire harness or did you cut the plug off and splice all the wires together? Im thinking it could be a wiring issue. Sounds kinda weird. It does play music though right? Just the sound is distorted?

doughboy5499

When I installed mine I bent the eyelet in some so there was no gap left. I never had a knock in mine. I had them on for maybe a year before I sold the truck.

doughboy5499

I've done mine before too. I am very impatiant so i had mine done on my CC. I took it to a tint shop. Had 15% put on just the front doors. They had it done in 15 minutes and charged me $50. I could not have done it in 15 minutes soooo.... I have never used the precut pieces either though. Your choice.

doughboy5499

LOL You could use that to touch up your rear windows. That might just work.

doughboy5499

It wont look bad. It will blend some. You will see a difference though. Thats why I went 15% so they matched. All about your choice.

doughboy5499

The backwindows come tinted at 15%. the legal limit in ohio is 50% on front windows. If you are worried about getting pulled over, 35% is your safe bet. You wont get pulled over with 35%. i had 15% on mine to match the back and never had a problem but, it depends on who you are and where your at. A ...

doughboy5499

Read the questions the people wrote. WOW!!! LOL

doughboy5499

Might want to have someone check and see if your driveshaft is balanced. Something is probably wrong somewhere.

doughboy5499

A couple of guys I work with are riding there harleys out there. What a trip.

doughboy5499

I'm sure it don't really matter how long it takes as long as your doing it right, finish it, and post some pics when your done.

doughboy5499

Mine pops too. My uncle who works at a dealer in the body shop fixed my tweaked door when I fell asleep and put my cc in a ditch a year and a half ago. Noticed when putting the weather stripping on the bottom of the window that the out side shell of the door was incorrectly welded. There is supposed...

doughboy5499

I got my Gatorback at Advanced Auto.

doughboy5499

I put a gator belt on my cc about a year and a half ago and have never heard this noise. Don't recall it doing it before then though either. I drive hard I have a led foot on the start all the time and it don't do it. Could be just my truck or it could be because of the Gatorbelt too but.......

doughboy5499

I am going to need to replace break pads on the crew. Whats everyones recommendation on type or brand I should use. Thanks in advance!

doughboy5499

Yes those are the metal pieces that I am refering too. I know I need to replace the brakes so I will make sure I get the "tins" when I do. We'll see what the dealer tells Bobble on Monday too. Thanks again.

doughboy5499

It is the metal piece on the ears the pad rides on. Where do I get one?

doughboy5499

Mine has been doing the same thing for awhile now. Wed., I took the driver side back wheel off and looked around. I am going to need pads but, they are not real bad. I pulled the pad and there is a small piece of tin on the bottom of the bracket that rubs on both inside and outside pads. The tin pi...

doughboy5499

Now with such a tight fit with these boxes and thunderforms, When the speaker "hits" is there a problem with the articulation of the speaker. Does it hit the back of the seat and distort it.

doughboy5499

be sure to keep the inner metal sleeves. You can use a large vice to press the new ones in. Another hint when trying to get the sleave back in. Soak the rubber in some kind of oil for a while. this causes the rubber to swell up and loose. making it easier to get the sleeve in. I used to work at Ten...

doughboy5499

I got stock GMC ones. I had to go to the dealer to get them though.

doughboy5499

Im late but, CONGRATS

doughboy5499

Is this a 10 inch sub? I wonder if they make a smaller size than the one that you got so you wont have to take apart the back panel. This sub option sounds good but, the bazooka sounds like it actually fits a little better. I been looking around not sure what I am going to do yet.

Is their a way to fix a cracked fiberglass bumper without being really noticeable. I thought about some fiberglass bondo on the inside but then I would still be able to see the crack on the outside. I had a snow pile at the end of my driveway and I wanted to level it some. I hit the pile with the ba...

doughboy5499

I generally open the drivers side an inch or two and the opposite rear window a little more and that seems to be about the best it gets. I do this too. I think the vent visors kinda help too though. The rear slider helps too. I don'nt open that one much cause it is a little to far to reach from the...

doughboy5499

Just got done blowing the driveway. OMG the wind ids something fierce. I wanted to get all the drifts out of the driveway. It is just going to pile back up but the more I get off now the less I will have to do later. Got off work and had to drop a buddy off that walked to work this morning. I pulled...

doughboy5499

OK what an interesting day it has been. First off I got my oil changed. Used 5 quarts 10w-30 Synthetic Royal Purple and a K&N oil filter. Second I changed out my fuel filter. I had issues with getting the filter out of the bracket. Unloosened it and still had to really pound the bracket off. after c...

Split topic-HJ

I got my new Encoder Motor and the TC Vacuum Switch in so, on Monday I will attempt to install them. Will try to remember to take pics of the installment of both if anyone is interested. Replacing the springs on my Dads 07 mustang too.

doughboy5499

I am glad I don't have the heated seat option. My wife has it in her car and always has it on. I have tried it and boy all it does to me is make a little more butt butter.

So I refrain from using it.

doughboy5499

That would be totally cool. If only they would make what the consumers really want.

doughboy5499

Thanks for all the good info: I am not sure how much of this may apply- ***WAYS TO FIX THE ENCODER MOTOR PROBLEM.*** This is the most common problem, and was my problem. Cheap way - To clear the codes and reset the computer, pull the 5 amp TCCM fuse, located at the bottom of the fuse box. Wait at l...

doughboy5499

Where exactly is the encoder motor located. Any pics anywhere that could be used as a reference. I think I am going to replace mine with a rebuilt one after the begining of the year.

ENCODER MOTOR

I was wondering if an encoder motor like this one I found on E-Bay would be a ggod enough one to buy for our truck? It says it is new and it is alot cheaper than through the Dealer.

doughboy5499

See I knew that but, aparently he did not. I just wanted to know what they were reading.

doughboy5499

I got the the u-joint replaced today and i have a slight squeak here and there but, so much better. While it was off I checked for abnormal play - NONE. Pulled the diff cover, no contaminates and everything looked good clean and tight. What a PITA to get the caps off the old one. They have the plast...

OK listen to this. I bought a remanufactured alternator at Autozone two weeks ago. Sunday night I get ready to go to work and my truck is dead again! I take wifes 04 Grand Prix to work. I jump my truck in the morning when I get off and drive my truck back up to Autozone so they can check it and see ...

doughboy5499

They have an 85.7% feedback rating too. That is kinda low huh?

doughboy5499

Hopefully it will last me till I no longer have the truck. Many many moons from now.

doughboy5499

Might as well of bought a blazer if you buy one of these. IM

Just something negative to discourage you. Because just like F9K9 said it does not interest me either.

doughboy5499

I was going to have it rebuilt at a local shop(30 minutes away in next town) but, they wanted $75 to do it. So I decided to pay a little more and get the lifetime warranty.

doughboy5499

It had 68K mileson it.

doughboy5499

Defiance, Ohio $2.14 REG

I think my u-joint in the rear is going out. Ever since I replaced the rear pinion seal I have had a weird squeak. I had mentioned it here before. Thought it might have been the nut was on to tight. I never had it looked at and have been driving it with the annoying squeek. Well now recently when I ...

Well to add to all the things wrong with my truck, My altinator was going out for a week or so now. I took the truck up to autozone to have them put it on the meter and tell me if it was my battery or my altinator ( I already knew it was not my battery). My altinator was only drawing about 62 amps, ...

Are the chrome door handles the insert or stick on ones? Whats the story on those they look really good. I have not seen Chrome handles for our trucks only full size trucks. Thats why I ask if those are like the ones they sell on e-bay that stick on.

I bought my '01 cc last august ('05) 50,000 miles $10,000. Could not pass it up. Took the cap off did some mods and made it mine.

Bilstein might be the best but, fo the price I like my Rancho RS 5000. Everyone is going to have their opinion. Quite a few threads going around here about this topic.

You would not happpen to have part numbers would ya? I tried looking it up but i get different names with different numbers and am not sure exactly what I need. Would THIS ONE be the correct one to buy?

BUMP OK I am thinking this is a fuel sending unit issue. I called the dealer and they said that there was a design change in '01 sonomas that year. So if I were to change the "fuel guage sensor," I would have to have it recalibrated. Which is not a bad idea anyways. I was going to just change the se...

OK relating to this topic. Last week I had the front seal go bad too. I was told by auto zone that when replacing the nut holding the yoke in, you should torque it to 180 lb/ft. To my understanding that is the factory setting. I got it to about 150 lb/ft. Well ever since I have been getting a squeak...
