Front bumper opinion on position
That would drive me nuts. I think one of the bumper supports are out of wack. If you are going to go through the trouble of taking the bumper off to open up the holes on the bumper supports, just put a set of new bumper mounts on it in stead. I bet when you take the bumper off, the mounts are... -

Pass power window
This kits come with an up and a down relay for each side (4). I wired that kit also. Mine came with a bad relay and the window was stuck up. If it is up and won’t go down, or vice versa, swap the relays and see if it works. They plug in and out of the harness so they are easy to replace.- Broken85

Dome light went cross-eyed.
Well done! LMC does sell an LED upgrade cabin light, but if you go for it know, it is not plug and play. You are going to have to cut the roof to make it fit. Also, found out this weekend the dome light is on the fuse for the horn. The light under the dash is a separate circuit on the courtesy... -

No dash lights!!
Pull the LEDs out and start with incandescent bulbs. LED bulbs do not operate on two separate circuits (one for marker and one for blinker). They operate on one circuit with high and low settings which means an LED bulbs will cross your marking and blinker circuits at the socket across the...- Broken85

Dash blinker lights glow when the marker lights are on.
I think you are onto it jgonick. In looking at some tech specs on LED bulbs, they do not operate with two separate circuits (a dim and a bright). They operate with on one circuit with two power modes (low and high) using the same LEDs so the markers are likely crossing with the blinker lights...- Broken85

Dash blinker lights glow when the marker lights are on.
So, let me start off by saying I did this to my self by installing a Vintage USA dash in my 1985 K10 Silverado shortbed during a full restoration. Mistake, nothing but problems. This is NOT a plug and play upgrade. Expect to spend countless hours with whatever wiring diagram you can find on...- Broken85

How would you make this truck less ugly??
Option A- win the lottery Option B- add more rust to it and put a 600 hours 454 under the hood. It will be a panty dropper. Don’t kid yourself into thinking you can touching one bolt on that body without without it turning into a disaster. All you are going to do is snap heads or strip...- Broken85

Factory 3 point seat belt harness.
If you reupholstered the interior, don’t be a victim of the “plush monster”. There is a pendulum it the seatbelt ratchet system that needs to move freely. When inertia moves it forward, it locks up the ratchet for safety. New carpet will also encroach on the weak plastic casing and bind the... -

Trailer Wiring Adapter
I started with the adapter bought but bought this guy, ran an extra hot, and a break wire, tapped the reverse lights and updated the whole truck to a 7/4/5 pin. https://a.co/d/dgRajjx- Broken85

Problematic Starting - rotate crank before starter engages?
Check your timing. If it is to far out the starter will bind and not turn over. It will actually lock up the motor until you spin it by hand to let the starter work. Makes the starter sound like a train wreck too- Broken85

1985 K5 keeps breaking starters, help!
Definetly check the timing, sounds like a to advanced problem. Also make sure you are using a timing chain cover with the correct markings on it. If your motor is a Frankenstein, you may be looking at the wrong timing chain cover, or looking at the wrong balancer especially if you used parts...- Broken85
