HJ, is that the same tent that you bought? It seem to be easy to set up.

I've heard if said that a boat is just a hole in the water you pour money in.

rlrnr53

Currently have 3 ankle biters (as f9k9 refers to them) and a "guest" dog for a while.

rlrnr53

I remember those things. I had Knots all over the back of my hand and wrists before I got the knack of them. If you didn't watch, you'd end up with more knots. Ouch. The newer version has the balls attached to two rods. Kind of takes all fun out of it.

Most states can and will fine you for violating their laws. According to most officers, Ignorance of the law is no excuse.

Looks good. Let us know how it sleeps when you get a chance, how stable, etc.

Hood ornaments have gone the way of carburators and drum brakes. Government regulations require any hood ornament to either break away on light contact, or be spring loaded to give way if a person comes in contact with one of them. The last ones I remember were on the late 70s or early 80s full size...

Horsehammer, from my experience, if you are in much salt, your splices are on borrowed time. Heat shrink splices, or solder and uncured rubber is the way to go.

rlrnr53

Believe Brule, you WILL have trouble with the Scotchlocks. I speak from experience, with 33 years with the WV DOH as a mechanic, I can tell you that trouble is just around the corner.

rlrnr53

It looks like you are having a lot of fun and getting loads of skinned knuckles. Has the local duck population suffered because of the mods?

Usually when the VATS is bad, the engine will crank and hit but not stay running.

rlrnr53

Sounds like you have the release pawl froze up. If thats not the problem, your cables may be sticking.

rlrnr53

Hope you post some pictures of the tent. I'm curious to see just how it works out.

rlrnr53

The problem is in the foot pedal.I had the same problem. I removed the pedal assembly, and one end of the spring had somehow fouled. once i cleared the spring, it started working again.

rlrnr53

My truck has the same problem intremittly. I can usually hear a faint click just before it starts working again. It seems ro me that there is a fuse somewhere inthe circuit. I've been waiting for it to go completely out so I can trace the source of the problem.

rlrnr53

My problem seemed to cure itself a few days after the post. About a onth later, the flasher died. After replacing it, have had no more problems.

rlrnr53

I can usually see anywhere from 3 to 8 or 9 almost every day.

rlrnr53

My experience has been that usually you will hear some type of noise before a motor goes out. I'm not saying that it can't happen, just not common. I have had pencils, pens or sticks to foul the squirrel cage and stop the motor. The newer full size trucks have had problems with the resistor melting ...

rlrnr53

I agree with 04crewvt, the ability to have your window open a little in a rain is a big advantage. A lot of time I don't even have to run the defroster when it rains.

rlrnr53

In the conditions our trucks operatein, scotchlocks would last about 2 days to maybe a week before the green corrosion sets in and destroyes the connection. It pays to take the time to do it right if you drive on roads where salt is used. It will save time in the long run.

rlrnr53

Scotchlocks IMO are only good for a temporary fix. After working for 30+ years around snow and ice removal equipment, I have tried about everything. Solder and heat shrink is the way to go if you have the time. Heat shrink butt connectors are my weapon of choice. Used with a good pair of crimpers th...

rlrnr53

Rockrz, that brings back memories of my 96 ext cab that was toataled in a head on. Yours looks great. I'm like you, I didn't think much about white until I got mine. I guess it (white) grows on you. thats one good looking truck, I really like the wheels.

rlrnr53

Most definately

When I worked at alocal dealership in the mid 70's, GM reduced the oil level in the diffs to a half inch below the hole supposedly for fuel economy, or so we were told. We were given a TSB telling us not to overfill above one half inch below the level of the bottom of the hole.

rlrnr53

Reed, IMO our fantastic legal system is what has screwed up everything. A look at the "STELLA" awards will tell you why. (For those that don't know, the Stella awards are given to the winners of large law suits.) I think there should be an award to the judges and juries that hand out these no common...

rlrnr53

Reed, hopefully your water fowl have gone south for the winter!

rlrnr53

HJ, I underestand about avabilityof tires. We have trouble getting larger sizes (11R22.5, 14.00 X 24). The powers that be have reduced the number of tires we can stock. There have been tims that we have had to down equipment because of a lack of tires. These same powers have also decreed that we hav...

rlrnr53

If you have the spring tool and the door pin punch, it makes the job easier. Not really needed for the job, but it makes the job easier and faster.

rlrnr53

Does your 05 have separate brake and turn signals?

He doesn't keep water fowl long enough to get near it.

BODY control module

rlrnr53

New BCM was $120.00+ core charge, labor ran around 125.00 because of the trouble they had to with the relearn procedure. Prices may have changed by now. You may be able to check prices at gmpartsdirect.com, but their shipping is high.

rlrnr53

I finally had to replace the BCM on my truck. Ended up taking it to the dealer to have it installed. When I picked the truck up, my airbag light was on. Took it back the next day to have the light reset, took them anothr 2 hours to get everything right. The Tech2 wouldn't program the BCM, they had t...

rlrnr53

I still have a K1000, and a ME Super bypentex as well as a point and shoot Cannon film camera as well as a Canon powershot A85 digital. No problems with any of them. I have recieved many compliments on some of my pictures from the 35mm days taken with the K1000. Pentex optics IMO are some of the bes...

Aother reason to open the bleeders when pushing the piston into the caliper is that you may push trash into the valves of the ABS module. I was told years ago by a GM service manager that I trust not to push the fluid back into the master cylinder. Of course I forgot this advice, and it ended up cos...

rlrnr53

I'm not one to jump at a new fluid, but a reduction in tranny temps would be good, as heat is a transmission's worst enemy. I may consider the change only to hopefully extent the life of my transmission. And f9k9, I do understand what you're trying to say.

rlrnr53

Mini vans are not so bad, we've had three midsize GM vans, and the current one is a Pontiac Montana. Not my first choice, but all we could find when the 4.3 went south coming back from vacation about 5 yrs ago. The current van is not bad, but the wife wanted a smaller, more economical ride, which it...

rlrnr53

I've used Bon Ami in the past for removing hard to remove stains, and it worked wonders, but I have a hard time finding it now.

rlrnr53

We,ve had a 02 Pontiac Montana for about 5 years, and the only things done to it have been intake gasket set, rear shocks, and two sets of tires. I like it, but my wife tolerates it but would probably like something else. The 16 yr old twins don't think that it is cool at all. We'll see after they s...

rlrnr53

Hope everyone is OK. I learned just how valuable seat belts and air bags are about 3 years ago when I was hit head on. I'm a firm believer in them now!

rlrnr53

Another good firefighter off to that big station in the sky.HJ, you and his fanily ahve my condolences

rlrnr53

If I remember right, the truck came with either a 2 ga, or 4 ga. cables. I often wondered what idoit had the nerve to put such a small cable on an wngine that size. I wish that I would have thought to ask the engineeers at the plant where the pump and tank were installed why they didn't replace the ...

rlrnr53

I've been wtching this thread with interest since it was started. I have had a few experiences with under sized factory cables in the past. While on the FD, we took delivery of a 1982 C-7500 chevrolet with a 427 in it. From day one, we had starting problems, hot or cold. After having no luck with th...

After reading the ZR2 thread, I have to agree with the solution. I have seen pads cooked in only 40 miles after someone lengthened the rod on the master cyl, it doesn't take much. I think the rod mentioned above was only lenghtened by about one to one an a half turns.

22 years as a volunteer firefighter, and 32 & a half working for the DOT, I too ahve seen the way people ignore emergency vehicles with warming lights on. In WV, every vehicle that has more than the normal head, park and tail lights is considered by law as an emerghech vehicle. By law here, every ve...

f9k9, you're losing your monolopy on water fowl!

In WV, any vehicle using any type of aux. flashing or strobe, Is supposed to have a state issued Emergency vehicle permit. I see many vehicles with aux. lighting, although I don't know what the local authorities thilnk of it. I do know hat almost every vehicle that operates on or around a surface mi...

rlrnr53

A vacuum leak usually results in an extremely hard pedal. I have seen master cylinders cause this type of problem.

rlrnr53

Bads Crew, a used BCM might be the best way to go. All you would have to do is the 30 min Passlock learn procedure. It cost me $75.00 to have the new BCM programed.

rlrnr53

Check the grounds, refer to the service manual.

rlrnr53

Her in So. WV, we ended up with about 2-4 in. yesterday, gor called in to work today. By the time I got home this afternoo, most if not all the snow has melted. Hope everyone is staying warm and safe.

rlrnr53

Hope you guys keep the snow in your neck of the woods. I'm tired of snow for this year. Keep warm, stay safe.

rlrnr53

HJ, you should have experience with air bags with the FD. These look like a less expensive version of the air bags. If they are half as good as the air bags I have seen, they would be a wprth while investment.

rlrnr53

Our assortment of yards is limited. There used to be about 6 or 7 yards within about 10 mi., but most are from 15 to 25 mi. now.

Under the dash in the midddle, above the tape player. Thats the BCM, a new one is about 250.00 tax included(6%) in WV>

About 10 years ago, I saw a small block wedged int a 1st gen Blazer. I wasn't able to get a good look at this beast, But I know that it would really light up the rear tires. When I say wedged, I don't think you could have pout your little fingerbetween the engine and sheet metal on the sides and rear.

rlrnr53

On the 01, the recxiever is located on the drivers side, an the panel under the dash. There are between 3 & 5 7mm bolts holding the panel in place. The ALDL iss located in this same panel. The way I read the wiring diagrams, the relays for the door locks are in the BCM. You might try unhooking and h...

Tried the wiggle test before I unhooked the BCM with no luck.

Sucess! After stepping back and looking at things, I decided togo back to basics. I made a list of all the things that weren't working, and set down with the service manual to see what they all had in common. The BCM came to the top of the list. After finally finding it, I was trying to get it out o...

Security light stays on steady. Tried 30 min relearn procedure, security light will not go out. Tried unhooking battery (about 15 min), still no luck. Light stays on steady all the time. Still cranks, fires, then dies. Does anyone know what code scanners will read body codes?

As far as I can tell, the security light was acting normal. I'll check it out better in the morning. I didn't even think about the security system. Thanks to all for the responses.

I get enough mud at work. Don't need to carry in any more than I have to.

Thanks for the info, no Pep Boys close enough to do any good. Advance, Auto Zone, Fishers auto Parts, and NAPA are all we have locally.

Road runner, I'll try unhooking the battery in the morning. I have had some strange results resetting the 4wd switches by pulling the ...

Thanks for the replies. Battery has been charged, am leaning to possible ignition switch problems. Ran into similar problems on a K3500 a couple of years ago when the heater motor wouldn't run. It doesn't help that I've had the creeping crud for the last couple of days.

Original GM manual. A little pricey, but well worth it.
