So I go to replace my reverse bulb socket, and the one they sent me doesn't even resemble the stock one at all. The stocker has 3 wires, the replacement has 2, and the locking tabs are different between the two of them. Other sites also show the replacement as the one I was sent. First pic is of the original plug, second is the new plug.3cab4c4cd2a55c311f7848798c3911e5.jpga055266719dae8afa55c7253f290877c.jpg

It looks like one black in and one black out it is probably grounded in series so you will have to hook the two black wires and a white wire from the new socket all together in order to make it work.

I was wondering that myself, but I'm not sure if it'll even lock in place since the tabs seem different. Guess I'll just have to open it, and try it. Hopefully it works, damn socket cost me $35.

It will, it will just take some "negotiating"

I think I asked before, but where do we order those gm-trucks stickers? I'll rep it on my new truck [emoji106]

 

And I finally did a 4 hi mod on my 02. Can't believe I've put it off so long and it took 5 min. Get me a set of 9005 5000k HID'S to put in and I'm sure it will really light up the night

Thanks man! Thats actually my play truck now, got a 14 CC High Country as my DD a little over a week ago. And yeah its real easy, just ground out the yellow wire on either low beam. I did passenger because I have a cold air intake so it was real easy to access. Couldn't believe how easy it was!

Troubleshot and repaired my 12 volt socket on the front of the truck. One my crimp on terminals wasn't quite tight enough and wire slipped out. Plus did a little rerouting to make the whole harness look a little better. It really almost could pass as factory now...almost.

Congrats on the new truck! My 02 looks like your play truck but factory ride height and pretty much factory everything lol. Just got the truck a few months ago, and I love it!

99-02 were great trucks. Super easy to access and work on everything. If you ever need tips on something just private message me and I'll help however I can!

 

I actually just yanked the trans from it yesterday. 3 hours taking my time by myself. There again, this is like the 5th time I've pulled it, plus a body lift really helps things go along a lot faster lol

Appreciate the offer man! I enjoy driving and working on this truck, except crawling underneath because it's 2wd so it's pretty low to the ground lol. I wish I had a lift for the sake of working underneath the truck and of course it looks good. Just had from what I could tell a MAF problem, but a new MAF from the scrapyard hopefully has solved that problem.

You could always try cleaning the MAF sensor before replacing. Also check to make sure no wires are broke

Tried cleaning it with MAF cleaner, didn't help. The truck would stumble when started on cold mornings, but when I unplugged the MAF, it would run fine, plug it back in, it would try to stall or stall. I will find out tomorrow morning when the temp is cold if the MAF was actually my problem. Probably should have tested it with a multimeter before replacing it lol. The wires didn't look broken either.

Sounds like you solved it but you'll find out tomorrow morning!

Have you checked the idle air flow valve for that cold start issue? I'll be replacing mine soon for that very same issue.

      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.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
