    Speaker pods/General stereo questions

    I would like to keep it as stock looking as possible just for the wow factor and I really would prefer not to start cutting on sheetmetal. I'm putting together a Suburban so space for a subwoofer won't be an issue, haha... Lemme ask you this, I know 6x9's are going to sound fuller than the...

    K10 softer ride

    I used a Tuff Country 2" lift with 5100 Bilstein shocks on a 1981 K1500 Suburban...night and day difference from stock but (1) the leafs were pretty flat and (2) I don't have a lot of experience so I'm not really sure what it SHOULD ride like stock... That being said I have a 2003 Suburban...

    Speaker pods/General stereo questions

    I did see those...it's been a minute since I put together a car stereo system so I'm essentially starting as a complete noob! Back in the day a friend of mine was an electronics guru (his dad was an electronics guy in the Navy and did some high level stuff) and he helped me do a system in my...

    So here is the one I saw...as you mentioned the key would be making the mounts work and the dimensions of the protrusion for the screen..

    Speaker pods/General stereo questions

    I needed to grab some back to school stuff from Best Buy the other day and took a look at their displays and they had a Pioneer floating screen with a single din that looked like it might fit WITHOUT cutting the stock location. The protruding mount for the floating screen is significantly...

    Door panel resto- backyard style

    I've had good success with SEM products...it's not cheap per se but it you take your time, FOLLOW DIRECTIONS AND PREP WELL, it doesn't fade and wears for years. Flexing the Visa, too funny! And yeah if you start loading that cart up with interior pieces it'll start looking like a Mr. Olympia...

    Door panel resto- backyard style

    With the fabric, I carefully cut the existing from the front...pulling the stiches didn't look to hard but I was afraid the sewing machine I have would be able to put it back. I think the fact I went with black helped a little with any imperfections around the perimeter. I used the SEM Color...

    Door panel resto- backyard style

    My original post got corrupted so I'll try to narrate the big parts... I took JB Weld and stainless steel screws to replace missing posts. I tried to recolor the carpet with Krylon Fusion but it didn't work so I replaced the carpet wit new from fabric store I used SEM medium neutral as the...

    Door panel resto- backyard style

    SirRobyn0 inspired me to try my hand at restoring my door panels as I was stripping the interior to send it to the paint shop. As he said in his thread, are they concourse restoration- no. Do they look 1000% better than what I had-yes. I didn't pay the gouge fee for Chinese plastic parts and I...

    Speaker pods/General stereo questions

    That was my initial thought, thanks for confirming! I have the headliner off right now and it looks like there is enough room to mount ceiling speakers? However I'm not sure I want to make that commitment...I want something that sounds good and loud enough to drown out gangster rap at a...

    Speaker pods/General stereo questions

    I hear ya...do you think the kick panel speakers are good bang for the buck or I would be good with the 2 3.5" and the center channel in the dash? On the rear 4x10's is it that much of an upgrade to drop 6x9's in?

    Speaker pods/General stereo questions

    Hey all! I'd like to upgrade the sound system and will probably try a 7.1 setup with (2) 3.5 and center 4x10 (or adapter to 2x3.5" + tweeter?) in the dash, (2) kick panel speakers, (2) 4x10 in stock rear location (or I think I saw some 6x9 adapters?) and a subwoofer...or should I just omit the...

    Turn signal not working left side

    Ok...so everything worked in the driveway and took it out for a test drive and sure enough the left turn signal wouldn't flash.. I think I got all the grounds pretty well cleaned up and I tried hitting the contacts in the bulbs sockets with a small jewelers file too...I'm suspecting a loose...

    Turn signal not working left side

    Ok...after verifying all the grounds were good and cleaning them up the duck qucked in my face. This is a bit embarrassing but it turned out to be a blown bulb on the driver side marker light! Thanks again for the direction and I still don't know what that wire under the dash is for, haha!

    Turn signal not working left side

    Hey all, I replaced my turn signal column switch today and hoped it would solve all my problems, but hope is not a good strategy... I'm still haunted house with my left signal not blinking... However when I turn on the hazards it blinks, somewhat dimmer than the passenger side though. I've...

    Tuff Country Lift Kit Experience

    Thanks for the help everyone! 2" kit on with 5100 Bilstein shocks...night and day difference. Probably had something to do with the truck sitting 5 years so the old springs were flllaaaattttt... I had to go out and get some bigger rims/tires to fill up the wheel wells, haha. Lucky for me it's...

There were no lines included in my...

    Horns

    Hey Turbo, THANKS! Working backwards saved the day! I found a small section of the green wire had been cut out up by the driver side horn. I'm assuming for the "oooh-gaaa" horns of the 80's that had subsequently gone away...I spliced it back, put the relay back in and everything works as it...

    Horns

    Soooo...circling back around on this... I pulled the grill off and jumpered the + battery straight to the horns and the work. Would that lead me back to the black wire at the steering wheel being severed or it sounds like the green wire going to the horns is busted somewhere?

    TH350c Slipping

    Ok...so here is the update.. I just picked it up and drove it home about 6 miles..all seemed to work well but I think I need to adjust the timing now that the tranny is fully engaging it seems to knock a bit when I floor it... They pulled the tranny apart and he said that indeed the valve body...
