My drivers seat does not go up or down another issue I need to fix

Everyone was so happy when GM started making "higher quality" interiors. I was one of the first to jump for joy, my 87 3 series BMW was nicer with 285k miles inside than the 98 Intrigue I replaced it with, and those cars were engineered 15 years apart(e30 released in 83, intrigue released in 98).

 

 

We had no idea the "crappy" interiors were actually so much more durable. Our old 90 1500, looked like it was built by Fisher price inside but everything worked when it was sold a few years ago! Why can't they figure out how to make something that looks great AND works great for a long time?

Definitely Fisher-Price! :lol:

 

But, you're absolutely right - never had one issue with the gauges, buttons, or lights. The dash only started to crack if parked in the sun daily for 10 years.

I think the hit rock bottom and values are starting to climb in good condition. Hoping to find a grandpa owned low mileage one someday. With all the bolt ons the TBI 350s are torque monsters, I remember I could easily beat a buddy's 5.3 off the line all day long. After that he blew me away but he could never get over how my old truck took off at a light. Edited by SnakeEyes

My only dislikes about the 900 interior are the dashes (cracks) and seats (cloth and motors wearing out)

The center console setup is nice the K2s took it to another level though

The k2 center console and infotainment center is definitely nice. I also like the leather dash, makes it feel really classy

Yeah, that was my '94 - I could smoke just about anything stoplight to stoplight. That thing got out of the hole so fast it would snap your head back, lol. I loved blowing the doors off brand new $80k luxury cars commuting home from work. They never caught me before their lane dropped. :D

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
