    No electrical power at all

    Do the headlights come on if you pull the switch out? Do the brake lights work?

    Mud Tires

    I have always run BFG mud terrain radials on my square. The last set of rims are 17's since BFG stopped making the mud terrain in a 16.5 inch. I always thought they looked aggressive enough.

    Mahogany headliner

    Great to hear. I had to settle for a beige color for a headliner in my 85 because nobody offered the factory color anymore.

    NOS 1981-87 GMC cab band corner trim set!

    They are beautiful. Would have loved to have them but too rich for my blood.

    RESOLVED - Rear Speaker Plugs/Pigtails

    My 85 was ordered with no radio. sigh. I have boxed speakers behind the seat and I installed some 3 inch speakers in the dash with low frequency bypass. Works ok for me. Would love to have the rear speaker oem set up. As for the pigtail, I have always preferred solder.

    Seat cover woes...

    I replaced my bottom seat foam and the cover with the LMC version about 4 years ago. It fit great and still looks pretty good. The piping has broken in a few places on the driver's side. My truck is brown with the brown interior. I had to get black but at least it is not torn and tattered...

    Heat Temp Gauge Wiring Harness

    My oem temp gage pegged several years ago. I ordered a replacement through lmc trucks and the replacement has worked fine for several years. I sometimes have an issue with the wire terminal falling off of the nail head on the sender but I just stick it back on.

    No Start Issue...

    Glad you got it. Was it a wire or inside the switch itself?

    Shifting question

    If it is an sm465 then the L (low) is not synchronized. You normally just drive it with 1, 2, and 3. I have been driving mine since 1987. There is no speed shifting with this baby. 3rd to 2nd is never easy with mine. It keeps me from down shifting to pass because it really does not like to go...

    Best way to discreetly use iPhone for music via USB or bluetooth?

    Can't quite help but will tell you what I do. The 85 GMC was special ordered without a radio. I installed a two post radio back when I got it. The location is the oem hole in the dash. I have two speakers behind the seat. This past summer, I got a bluetooth device that plugs into the...

    Turn signal issue

    On my 85, the green signal being on and not blinking with the blinker means I have a bulb out. Not sure if this helps.

    Have something i have never run into prior-when cold under ANY load it backfires

    You said the popping goes away after it warms up. Interesting. I had trouble with my GMC after someone swapped two plug wires while it was parked in a parking lot.

    sliding rear window to a solid

    My 85 came with the solid. When I replaced the windshield, I had them pull the solid rear out and install a new gasket.

    does anyone know of anyone still making MT 33x12.5x16.5 tires

    I changed over to 17" rims when I got my lat set of MT. At that time (3 years ago), BFG still made the all terrains in the 16.5" size. The only choice I found was to go to the all terrain or go to 17" wheels. I was so upset as all my '85 has ever worn was 16.5" BFG MT. :bawl:
