    What have you done to your square lately??

    Growing up in SC I remember my Mom and Dad having to get inspections every year. When I finally was old enough to drive I had to have my car inspected once and then the law changed. No inspections since the late 90's I believe. People literally will drive dune buggies. You could drive a bath tub...

    Drove it. Feeling patriotic. Just a boy and his Dad riding around the neighborhood celebrating living free in the greatest country on Earth.

    Into and identification help !

    Welcome from VA. The VIN should at least break down if it was GMC or Chevy and where it was built, so that is a start. After market parts are everywhere so the trim on the dash, or the tailgate, or the grille could be what somebody had laying around. Lot's of VIN decoders on the internet that...

    Help With Parking Break Dash Light Staying On

    I crawled under and put more tension on the cable at the bracket where the lines split to both rear drums and it has turned the dash parking break light off. Thank you all.

    Help With Parking Break Dash Light Staying On

    @Robert Bare and @grummy ets just say I cannot solve this by fooling around with the release lever and break pedal in the cab, which I am now anticipating, how and where do I begin adjusting the parking break cable? I have been looking on U Toob and cannot find any videos specific enough so...

    Help With Parking Break Dash Light Staying On

    I have to do that every time. Lifting up on the pedal only works until I let go of the pedal now, if you know what I mean. I will try this again tomorrow to see if there is a trick I can get out of it. If not I will try to record a short video to post.

    Help With Parking Break Dash Light Staying On

    Recently I depressed the parking brake and the parking break light has stayed on on the dash. This is why I have avoided using the parking brake. In the past I have managed to get the light to finally go off but I cannot remember what I did. It seems like it is directly related to the parking...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    So to start, I will say that I believe when a passenger tries to open the passenger door while it is locked, is the main contributor to the lock eventually not wanting to operate and release from locked. Now, pressing the door shut with strong force then pressing the unlock direction on the...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Was listening to the engine while parking at the store today and habitually stepped down on the parking break...which I avoid in the truck. When the parking break is engaged in my truck after it is released the pedal drops back down and lifts the mechanism that turns on the e break light on the...

    Drove it Tuesday, yesterday after work (Friday), and today( Saturday). Loving the time in the truck. Taking the kids to swim practice, returning things to the sporting goods and hardware stores, getting dinner, trip to the big box hardware store with the other half today for Christmas decor and...

    Yes, that truck is Killer. God bless you for being there for your Mom, that's a tough part of life. I know being in the truck for a ride felt great for that.

    I can't wait to see this truck when the paint is done. Looking good. The green is an excellent one. Those years were good looking paint.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Coolant spots on the cardboard under the truck in different places so I crawled under to see. Maybe leaking from the water pump and running down the lower hose. Maybe just leaking from the lower hose clamp and needs a re-do. Pics show both sides of the pump. In the middle pic you can see where...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Yep, I need to pull the trigger on this one. Especially since I will likely be handing it over to the garage to replace the AC compressor next. Thanks for the motivation fellas.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Yes, there is an overflow tank and I always monitor it. Ever since I have bought the truck it gets below the fill line for the reserve periodically, so I have reactively always refilled it.
