Has anyone installed an aftermarket deck without using the interface cable that u gotta buy extra? i dont feel like dropping 180 on that cable. So i made my own cable that plugs in the factory harness to the new head unit and when i try to bypass it, i get security alerts on my dic screen in the truck. Anyone got any ideas!? haha

They make a ~$20 premade harness if you don't care about on star or door chime. It comes with a long accessory wire that you tap into a fuse location. I put in a ton of those when I did car stereos professionally and never got a security message. How did you wire the harness?

I dont care about my door chimes at all and i dont have onstar either and i do have that pre-made harness. So on the harness you will have your speakers, 12v constant, 12v ignition switch, and ground.

 

So you hook all that up but what about the 12v ignition? cause coming off the deck it goes to that wire to right? What i did was hooked those two up, harness to new head unit harness, then spliced off to a 12v source that turned on when i turned the truck on. then i got a security message. What do you do?

The factory harness does have power, ground and speakers and you just need to find an accessory source. Did you do anything with the GM LAN (don't remember what color it is) but if you did something with that it might through an error or maybe you tapped into something for ignition that is reisstance monitored. Where did you tap in?

 

i was just trying illistrate that the OEM Radio does not have any truck security function and that the $100 modules aren't needed to not throw a warning.

What is the GM LAN? And to be honest I cant even remember what i tapped into. This was two months ago when i did this and lately my deck is pissn me off while i got a dvd deck sitting on the shelf at home doing nothing.

 

So if i were to splice into my 12v accessory plug in, like a cigarette lighter cause that turns on when the key turns on, Bring that wire into the 12v ignition on the deck?

so i found an accessory to use in my fuse panel that turns on when my key is engaged. Now this is my question. Since i have the $20 harness. I plug that into my factory harness, then hook everything up except the 12v ignition. Take the 12v ignition from the head unit and take it to the 12v source i found, thus the one in the $20 harness merited and taped. Am i right?

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
