    Drivers door will not unlock all the sudden.

    Does anyone know where you can buy aftermarket ones that are decent. work like original? The last ones I got were Dorman and the buttons are way looser than OEM- when you push the button there is no resistance until about halfway in. Its like they used a short spring

    Sketchy Power Steering

    Its really a good idea to check the torque on everything too. Once you know torque is good you can apply "witness paint" to make sure nothing changes or if it does- its easy to see. Basically the paint line breaks if anything moves. Here's what I used and did for my steering box

    Sketchy Power Steering

    Echo all of the above. plus check for loose steering gear bolts to frame. Any looseness will make it super squirrelly esp at speed. Easy to check -rotate steering shaft back and forth while observing for any steering gear to frame movement.

    Suburban Dash Rear AC switch

    @Daddyscaddy To use, you will need to cut off the factory plug connector and use individual insulated disconnects on each wire (2, 12 AWG and 1, 16 AWG). Each row of switch terminals is separate they do not interconnect electrically - so just use one row (ie 1,2,3). Grey hot wire to center...

    Source for rear AC fittings?

    This is awesome info! Just got my truck back from the spring shop- great ride, but they screwed up my AC so was thinking worst case I'd be building rear lines. Turned out to be way easier- they loosed the rear line connection to receiver. Easy fix today, but ya never know!

    Source for rear AC fittings?

    I'm still running my original, but have been thinking about doing the same thing. Did you try just calling coldhose? It sure looks like they should be able to fabricate something that will work. The tee connection is not complicated.
