What is the part number of the side steps?  I like those.

I don't know, they were installed before the dealership got the truck. I can see if they have a part number on them.

That would be great.  Thanks!

Maybe this could work too.

 

I just had a brainstorm of an idea, based off of this video.  I have a tow hitch brake/tail light for my receiver, and the same concept should work.  I’m converting another one to be brake light only, last one got busted up in the impound yard, after the collision.

I honestly don’t mind it. I thought I would but it doesn’t bother me at all. 

Until your stuck in traffic and go to move and your starter dies.

So who's truck is the picture of your Avatar?

That was mine too. I went through a period of time when I was staying at the office and didn’t need a new truck. I drove my classic vehicles the 9 miles to the office. On 12/31/13 a salesman friend of mine called about a killer deal on that truck. They needed one more sale to make their numbers. I did no research, bought it. It was going to be my last truck, I was retiring in 18 months. I didn’t know about cylinder deactivation it had in it. I didn’t want anything to do with that nonsense. I like the 92 better didn’t need two, the old technology suited me fine. The performance of the 92 didn’t hurt either.

That’s doubtful, but I’ll take my chances.

I'm curious, how does the start stop sound when you have say a flowmaster muffler?  Is it like starting your truck up, it rumbles loud again each time your stop at a traffic light?

Starting the vehicle is the hardest thing it does to itself. It draws more amps, sends more torque, causes more stress, then any other operation the truck does. No thanks. I have seen with my own eyes, in the city stop and go traffic, grind and kaput. Horns and panic.

Again, no thanks.

Within a five years all vehicles are going to have it, if not sooner. The vehicles that have it now use a starter and other components designed for the start stop feature. It’s not the same as turning it off and on in a traditional ignition system.

+1 ... more like 2 years.  Hell, all the major brand trucks have it already.  Get used to it ... or keep your old truck forever.   And yes, it's not like your old 1995 trucks starter .... it's not going to leave you stranded. Folks need to understand as said above.. these components are made for this.  And it's start/stop is a smoooooth transition..

Yea, it’s cool till stuff fails. My sons Malibu battery cost 400$. It has two. Imagine what the starter cost. Buys a lot of gas.

FWIW ...  The video was a good find but does not work on the Chevy ... Tested it out yesterday.

 

I for one believe start/stop is an absolute annoyance.

      You refuse to own anything made in this century yet you reportedly own... a 2007 Silverado, which is now almost 20 years old. The dissonance.... turn up your hearing aid?   You clearly don't understand the government contracting process, brother. We send people to die on front lines, keep the public safe, and make people's husbands, wives, children enter burning buildings with equipment from .....wait for it.....   ...the lowest bidder....   Just because something is used for a long time doesn't mean it's good. But it might be cheap and plentiful.   Please, continue to whine about new trucks in a thread dedicated to new trucks, which you've said you'll never own. We get it. Go tell everyone how you're stuck in time on a Panther forum. I mean, Jesus, an 86 isn't even one of the good Panthers.

      It really is comical when people don’t agree or see the reason some people prefer the older vehicles. They become condescending. All the while they may be busting their knuckles on old vehicles. I have found memories of swapping out engines in my old GM cars in a weekend without much hassle. Unlike today. One wrong move a computer will shut you down. Even on something as easy as a brake job. There’s a pretty comical YouTuber called the car wizard. A garage owner who puts it all in perspective. Another Vicegrip garage that’s shows just how tough the old stuff is.

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.
