    Question about dash speaker hookup

    ****-can the capacitor, use the stock wires and make a pair of jumpers/adapter wires that'll plug onto your new speakers and into the factory plug if they are different. Check the ohm rating of the speakers if you can, that may be why the PO put in the capacitor. The speaker should say what the...

    Pissing match

    My wife gets bright-lighted constantly in her '21 Trailblazer when she has them on low beam, or when they're on the auto-dim setting. The new LED's are super-bright for sure. What p*sses me off is when truckers do it when they have 75-100 lights on their truck and their seat height is about 3...

    Bvllsh!t on craigslist.

    Montana is about as bad. Big out-of-state $ run real estate prices through the roof, but the people influx is horrible! I literally NEVER leave my house without my 9 w/27 rounds. The idiot level nowadays is off the charts.

    Cab light question

    I believe they are daisy-chained, so the check the feed wire from the one that works to the one next to it that isn't working. Hopefully, that is the culprit and the rest of the lights will work once you get power to that light. You can check power with a 12v lighted stab tester.

    Adhesive remover

    REAL lacquer thinner & a plastic scraper. Get it to soften, then scrape with plastic scraper. Brake cleaner or wax remover/degreaser should get the remaining residue off. WD-40 also works on a lighter scale.

    problems with my nuts, lugnuts

    You need to find out wheel hole diameter compared to the lug nuts. A lot of wheels have super-tight tolerances, so you just have to purchase the right lug nuts. Usually, those splined type are skinny enough to allow a thin wall socket into the wheel hole.

    Is anyone having any luck buying a vehicle from Craigslist/Facebook Marketplace right now?

    Instrument Cluster Installation

    Do you have access to a wiring schematic for the alternator? Find out what wire sends the reading to the instrument panel and test it there to start with. I'm not sure which one it is, maybe someone can chime in on that???

    Instrument Cluster Installation

    Push down with some force, try to start that screw below it. Aftermarket stuff is a tad off sometimes!

    77 C30 Power window & Lock wiring issues

    That's a sweet set-up! Not sure on the 8 speed yet, although I love the 6L80's a whole lot! I'm sure you checked the factory harness going through the door into the cab?? Breakage there is very common, could be a partial broken wire, but I'm sure with the extent of $ & time you're putting into...

    The bottom of the cluster tips in, kinda behind the metal. It's a bit of a tight fit.

    Hello and help!

    The ignition module is under the cap. It's flat and kinda shaped like a boomerang with terminals on both ends. Google it and you'll see.

    Hello and help!

    If you're getting spark, you need to check fuel delivery. I was thinking ignition module also.
