    Best aftermarket antenna option

    I live in between several decent size cities. All my other vehicles can pick up stations from each of the three cities I am in the middle of. I assume there is a standard antenna wire I can buy that goes into the radio and to the windshield mount?

    Best aftermarket antenna option

    Slowly making some improvement on my 86 K 20. I added an aftermarket stereo years ago and at the time the aftermarket fenders didn't have hole for a stereo antenna so I have been listening to CD's. I am curious if any of the "hidden" type antennas are worth a crap. I also need a new...

    Genuine Leather Upholstery for a great price

    I would respond back, "Yes, because you are the type of company who doesn't capitalize the first word of you're sentences."

    Single glass side window/Wing delete

    So how are you liking it so far? I am considering go this route and just now looking at prices. I have a friend in the glass business and reached out to him to see about rebuilding my side vents. He recommended this route but admitted he has never done this mod before...

    Wind noise is running me stir crazy

    I know this is an old thread but I saw a tip for finding wind noise on one of the "car shows" on the TV this past Sunday morning. The guy turned the key on to power and turned the fan/heater on high. Then with a stethoscope he exited the car and went round the seals etc and could hear the wind...

    Dumb down headlight relays for me.

    I got all 4 lights replaced and everything worked. I might have a loose connection somewhere as one of the lights was not on but I reached in from the hood and wiggled the harness and it came on. I had to leave for work after that but at least all the lights are on. I still didn't have a high...

    Dumb down headlight relays for me.

    Thanks At this point Im just going to buy all 4 new stock style lights. If they are not working correctly I will dig into the wiring issues after that. I am guessing several of them have burnt out over the years and I did not know it.

    Dumb down headlight relays for me.

    When we first painted this truck years ago we were putting the bulbs back in. We had an electrical problem we could not track down and come to find out we had put a wrong bulb in one of the cab lights. I can't remember now (it's been about 15 years) but I think one of the bulbs from the tail...

    Dumb down headlight relays for me.

    I had an earlier question and I don't want it to get buried. Did the factory headlights have a dual filament in the top row that would also kick on for the high beams or were they the same in either mode and the bottom row kicked on for the high beams?

    Click no start

    Sorry for digging up an old post but wanted some input from the pro's. I had the same thing in my 86, click no start. I replaced the starter and was talking to the guy at Oreilly. He didn't even test it because he said if the solenoid is bad that won't show up on the test they do. I put the...

    Dumb down headlight relays for me.

    So now I have another question. Like I said before I hardly if ever drive the truck at night. So I went out today to get a look at the headlights to see which ones were working and which ones weren't. When I drove it the other night I could tell a light was out but my bright light indicator on...

    Dumb down headlight relays for me.

    Thanks all Grit dog, that goes along with what I had heard. Even with stock lights there can be some benefits to having relays. I just wasn't sure I was understanding it correctly. The other thing I need to look at is my truck itself. It was originally a 77 and after I bought it I got a...

    LMC Headliner question

    My lazy ass still hasn't gotten around to installing the headliner. I had the old liner out, all the trim out (im replacing that too) and installed dyna mat on the ceiling. Then I had a last minute situation come up and had to clean my barn out so I put all the interior trim and headliner back...

    Dumb down headlight relays for me.

    I'm looking into option on my headlights for my 86 K 20. I don't drive it much at night at all so I can't justify the higher end LED's like Holley's. I should start by saying unfortunately I know nothing about electrical and wiring and just can't seem to figure it out. Am I reading right that...

    Truck Stolen

    Typically it is one of two things. Some drunk/dope addict hopped in it for a quick joy ride to a buddies house to sell it for $500.00 worth of drugs. Or a more organized group spotted it and it has been retagged and is in Mexico or Southern Cal never to be seen again. It sucks...

    Needing some help from a small engine guru.

    OK thanks. I think (fingers crossed) it is just the coil(s). I have ordered two OEM Briggs coils for it. There was a mistake reading the thermometer. My neighbor thought it was reading at 1000 degrees and come to find out it was only 100 and some. I couldn't find the specs. for his thermo...

    Needing some help from a small engine guru.

    It is my neighbors and he is an auto mechanic by trade. When we checked the temps on the "good head" it was around 500 and when we checked the temps on the "good exhaust" it was around 600. When we went to the bad head it shot up, I cannot say it is perfect but I have no reason to think it is...

    Needing some help from a small engine guru.

    I'm not real mechanically inclined.....(Just needed to get that out there). I have a Ferris 61 inch ZTR mower with a 30 horse Briggs engine. Last week I was pulling my sprayer and was only running about half throttle. Right before I parked it the motor started to bog down like it was running on...

    Sandblasting advice needed.

    I asked Rhino about it and they said they wouldn't even apply unless it was down to metal when I brought it in.

    Sandblasting advice needed.

    Thanks for the replies, got side tracked and still haven't done anything with the bed. Rhino liner had a sale that ended the middle of February and once I missed that deadline I quit looking. I had a wiring issue I just got fixed tonight (I lost all my lights to the rear end, found a bad...

    Dash Pad Install

    I contacted LMC about an issue with my headliner. It took them over a month to get back with me and then another several weeks after that to get the correct reply. They wouldn’t let me talk to any of the techs directly. I had to explain my issue to a lady on the phone, she emails the tech...

    LMC Headliner question

    So I got delayed on the project and set the headliner aside a month or so ago. I got a call today from LMC customer service, I originally contacted them to just ask what size the triangle should be. The told me they pulled one off the shelf and said the triangles should be 2 inches on each...

    LMC Headliner question

    I agree this would be the way to go with the factory liners as it would not be hard to poke through with an awl. The reproductions have a hard plastic backer that you can’t just poke through looking for the holes. Hopefully next week I can get out and work on mine.
