Amplified Turn Signal Fun

So, I have been playing for sometime with my 2008 SLE Sierra, and figured I could "add" all the features of the SLT I wanted without having to deal with hot and sticky leather seats. So far, i have added the factory stereo controls and added the factory garage door openers. Luckily I have a parts guy at the local dealership who will get them for me pretty cheep.

 

So after two years I just figured out I am not happy with the Non Bose Sound system and spent about two weeks adding system components to improve the sound. So far I have changed out the four door speakers and added a 4x75 amp to power them. After trouble shooting the altenator whine and replacing a bad RCA patch cable I can finnaly get the sound where I want it. Next up is the 10" sub for those days when i need some good music to calm my shattered nerves after a 10 hour day at work.

 

Problem, Now I have door chimes, seat belt warrning, and the dang turn signal in complete stereo. This is not fun....I know i can lowerer it by turning the gain all the way down, but this defeates the purpose of the amp in the first place. Is there going to be anyway to remove/fix this issue without changing out the H/U and adding the OnStar module and seperate speaker under the dash just for the turn signal/chimes? I realy don't want to change out the deck, i just can't stand the way the aftermarket decks look. I have a clean and nice look to the dash now that i don't want to lose. And I don't want to advertise to anyone there is anything worth stealing inside.

 

Any help out there?

      In the 6.6 gas thread, I added information in my fluid change thread about these gauges and temperatures. With very limited data, it so far looks like ~30 degrees difference between front and rear.

      I know; crap pictures.   Anyway, as a finale of sorts to this thread, I had replaced both differential covers and since they had the capability of adding temperature probes, I did that. These are MaxTow analog/digital gauges with stepper motors. They'll flutter around like crazy for a moment and start at a nominal 100 degrees Fahrenheit.   I drove a 30-mile loop to the grocery store, averaging 70 MPH (as much as 80 to see if there was a quick spike in temperature. The air temperature is 102 (ambient ?). but the first pic is 7 miles into the trip. The second is getting back into the truck after leaving the store; differential temperatures dropped about three to four degrees in 15 minutes. The third pic in on the road to my house, about a mile away.   In that run, I saw a high of 150F on the rear differential, and 121F on the front. I'm sure a longer drive or towing will see higher than that, and when that happens, I can update the observations.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Fully warm, coolant temp >194, closed loop.   Run time can be anywhere from just reached operating temperature to having driven 30+ miles.   The O2 chart (which is a feature I just discovered after reading) for the bad idle seems to be "most" of the time. For the little time I've been watching it (scanning and driving! watchout!) I can't seem to isolate any cause or condition yet.   It definitely idles rougher sometimes than others and so far what I've seen is the rougher idles are always rich. But not enough to set a CEL.   In other news I replaced the starter solenoid. Everything on this truck is such a PITA. Starter "snout" is mangled up with the torque converter inspection cover which is tangled up with hard cooling lines and the driveshaft. But I got 'er done without too much swearing...I just go into everything now knowing it's going to be a frustrating mess.   The starter solenoid replacement kicks off the next round of work: AC, injector rebuild, cat, exhaust. I'm just going to do it all. But first:   I don't know what my fuel pressures are. I can't definitively say the issue is the injector without first verifying fuel pressures and any leakdown. I "rented" a test kit ($199.99 at O'Really's ...intentional misspelling). They don't "rent" tools anymore, they charge you for the tool and then you return it when you're done. No joke. It is listed as a rental on the receipt but the guy told me there's no difference between renting and buying  now, you just return it when you're done and they refund the credit card. Mmmkay, whatever.   I will rule out fuel pressure issues (too much), and any leaking (that's how I'll know the problem is inside the intake). I think someone said the return line could be plugged or not flowing and that could cause high fuel pressure (and too much fuel being pushed through injectors). I'll cross that bridge if I get high readings.   As of now I'm ready to tear off the intake cover, extract the injector, and have it sent off to be rebuilt just so I can rule that out.
