  1. Hell yeah!! That R10 needs rock the streets up there!!
  2. I have an early production METAL lower tailgate molding. I pulled it from a junkyard truck back in the late 1980s. What I can not remember is how it attached??? Was it just BIG blocks of 3M type double sided tape?? It is item #14 in this GM parts schematic. I do not remember any metal or plastic clips like the rear cab molding or the earlier 1973-80 bodyside metal strips use. Does anyone else even remember this early design- Or even have one on their 1981-82 trucks?? This is not the peel and stick trim molding like used on all other 1982-87 trucks all the way around. Thanks, Jon in TX.
  3. No clue. I have only added a billet/leather LeCarra in the past. Had to change the horn spring and contact. Did you make anymore headway on this MOD???
  4. Might be. What are the dimensions?? I was thinking 1970s G-Van too..... IF it is smaller.
  5. I would also clean-up and save the original. THEN buy an open element Summit Racing air cleaner with a K&N type full flow filter media.
  6. Could also be a bad fuseable link. There are 2 main ones. One down by the starter hot wires and one up between the power brake booster and left valve cover- On the firewall.
  7. Ahhh... That is a diesel and Cali emissions lamp only.
  8. Better suggestion is to leave your transmission in "regular drive mode" and have your transmission's fluid flushed every 75K. New fluid is the lifeblood of a transmission. I recommend a bottle of Lucas brand Transmission Conditioner at this time too....
  9. What really is the use on this hard inline fuel pressure sensor? I know there is a 2nd fuel tank pressure sensor which effects filling up our gas tanks- But it is a different animal. I have a 2012 GMC Sierra C1500 5.3L I bought new. It now has 140,000 miles on it. I have only used original GM parts on this truck. New GM O2 sensors, spark plugs & coil wires were installed at 100K- Just for maintenance reasons. I had all of the AFM crap removed round this time too. I had a GM master tech install a non-AFM GM 6.2L cam and a GMPP Performance roller lifter set. Then a local programmer installed a mild 87-Octane tune. I had an old mass air flow sensor code 2 weeks ago. "Perimeters out of sync". It is the original mass air flow sensor and no maintenance had been done in it's lifetime, so I bought some CRC brand electronics cleaner and "refreshed/cleaned it". I had a Code P0171 flash up on Monday. Check engine light has remained on steady-No flashing all this week, and it has never cleared itself. I experienced a hard jerking while using my cruise control at 65MPH yesterday, during lunch. The truck ran fine this morning coming into work on the same 65MPH highway. I have an appointment on Monday to see an old GM master certified tech, who now works on the side, and is very good young man. Same tech cleared an alcohol monitoring sensor last Friday. He said my trucks was flooding itself thinking I had E85 in my gas tank?? Said alcohol content was reading above 61%!! I only run 87 octane 10% gas in this truck. I have no scan tools, nor diagnostic means here. Just curious if this fuel pressure sensor (PN# 13500745) is the same sensor that also reads the alcohol content?? I can not find it anywhere in my parts schematics. It is my understanding these 2007.5-2013 GM trucks used the very first, and rudimentary, alcohol monitoring sensors? If this isn't the one in the same sensor, where is it?? I believe the 2014+ GM trucks sensor was vastly improved for future use and moved elsewhere in the fuel delivery system?? Brainstorming in Texas....
  10. Check PN# 19418403 These trucks still have a steering wheel position sensor too. Just a thought.
  11. This site link is down. As are multiple others in the original post... ?
  12. I would stay AC Delco or Delphi as well. How many miles & years are you getting on ONE pump anyways?? Are you replacing the external fuel pump each time too??
  13. I agree with "Jsdirt". My 2009 GMC Sierra had no problems with it's 5.3L AFM. My 2012 Sierra, also 5.3L AFM, had the entire bottom end replaced at 35K for oil issue. Then the cam & lifters were replaced at 75K. I thought GM had it all figured out by then....
  14. Love that 1986 ? in your profile pic...

    :thumbs:

  15. I just learned yesterday that Quadrasteer was offered on the Yukon & Yukon XL. That has to be rarer??
  16. Definitely get a Range module, easy to plug in & out. It uses the data port plug down by your left knee (when your driving). Just add a strip of black electrical tape over the LED lights (trust me). I would have the spark plugs checked/changed with AC Delco's, only run regular Dino oil & change it every 3 months/3K with an AC Delco Ultra Guard Gold filter. Also have him install an updated left valve cover- Improved baffle design. Try all these out for a few oil changes & then let us know what your decision is...
  17. I loved the Range when I had it on my 2012. I would unplug mine once a month or when my truck would sit for a week (vacations). I used a strip of black electrical tape over hose LED lights- Hated that at night time. Never had an issue though...
  18. ​Glad to hear your initial review on The Range. Any updates now? -Jon in TX.
