Greetings all,

 

just signed on the forum, cauzz I saw this question pop up and it's what I'm looking for.

 

I need to get at those rear speakers in my 90 GMC Sierra reg cab as well. All the install places I've spoke to says that even their experienced installers will end up busting that trim. I figure If the trims gonna break, I may as well do it cuzz I can break stuff really good and save myself $45 a quarter hour.

 

IF anyone scares up any tricks to getting this done let me know.

 

Thanks!

:cry: yeah thats pretty much what I just did :cheers: That rear trim piece is pretty hard to get off. I used a tool I bought for popping molding clips off with but a small pry bar would most likely work just as well :cheers: I started by pulling the end trim out just far enough to get at the end clip on the top of the trim panel. and just slowly work the clip out but dont put too much pressure on one spot move back and forth across the clip. It made some sounds like the whole panel was gonna break but it didn't. there are spots for five clips on the top row but there were only three clips on the top row. I'm guessing so you can shift the clip position in case one gets broken :D witch is what I'll be doing when I put the panel back on :flag: I'm sure there is a tool out there somewhere that would make this easier but I managed just fine :D the bottom row of clips I popped off by going down from the top of the panel with a LARGE flat head screwdriver (about a 3/8" wide tip) once you get it snugged up tight to the first clip carefully twist the screwdriver little by little moving across the clip back and forth so as not to put too much stress on one spot at a time (I broke 1 by being impatient so take your time :crackup: ) btw I started on the end and worked my way across the clips :sleep: It took me a total of mabye 5 to 10 minutes to remove the panel after that you'll have to remove the side panels as well as pop the platic grommets from the carpeting. tools for removing door and panel clips are fairly cheap and I would reccomend picking one up for anyone who plans on doing interior work :nono: might save you a couple bucks in clips too :)

Hope this helps you guys out and I hope I didn't forget anything

good luck :sick:

i broke the top row of clips getting mine off. and i used a big honking flathead screwdriver. i tried the trim removers and the "official" tools, but the big screwdriver got the job done in the end. good luck with it

      J&L OIL SEPARATOR CO

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.

      2016 Sierra 5.3L L83 new injectors now runs rich.

      By JAI3 · Posted

      I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
