SOLVED: Brake rotor run-out and hub run-out
You should be able to feel hub bearing wear by lifting and supporting truck at the frame rails or lower control arms, and grab the tire, use it as a lever, try to tilt in/out and left/right instead of trying to feel it right off the bat at the hub where you have a smaller area to grab. I can't...- someotherguy

No Reverse Lights, Need Help!
Taillight circuit board.. are we talking about a 1999 Silverado "Classic" in other words a GMT400? They use circuit boards for the taillights. A GMT800 has regular individual sockets. Both generations of truck were available in 1999, but are extremely different vehicles and troubleshooting...- someotherguy

Am I crazy?
What year/brand/model of truck are we talking about that reset the engine hours on battery replacement? That seems sketchy :( Richard- someotherguy

Lax emissions standards had the engine choices behind several years than the U.S. market. For a few years, not sure which specific ones, the GMT400's that had gone Vortec in the U.S. (1996-up of course), were still TBI in Mexico. You may already know that U.S. production of the GMT400 (GMT455)...- someotherguy

Stutaeng's 1999 Silverado
Just bought a pack of 10 Auveco brand clips for GMT400 tailgate handles (#18926); $15 off amzn. Broke a super brittle original clip while pulling the handle out of Critter so I could do battle with the one marker light wire that fell down into the tailgate while I was replacing a bad lamp...- someotherguy

New to Me GMT800? (Edit: Our New Yukon)
Seat out of the truck and separate the back and cushion. Pretty easy. A few details and pics from this post in my '06 SS thread -> https://www.gmt800.com/threads/2006-silverado-ss-intimidator-resurrection.8985/page-2#post-20482 Richard- someotherguy

Suspension rebuild Mevotech Supreme or AC Delco Gold?
Recently I'd kind of got annoyed with the various "OE, gold, silver, genuine, blah blah" naming conventions so I went straight to the source to see what they had to say about it: FWIW... Richard- someotherguy

Work out of my garage/driveway
Ugh.. yeah that customer was ready to be fired the moment he arrived. The expectation level of "you should've heard it when" and "it didn't do _____ until you touched (unrelated parts)" would've been the 1-2 punch for me. I didn't realize it was a GMT800, so 8.6" rear, either way it's toast...- someotherguy

Work out of my garage/driveway
That 8.5" 10 bolt sure sounds like it's on its last legs, but they were doomed from the start in a fullsize truck. The oil pressure is probably just a flaky sender, though. Richard- someotherguy

I put billet bowties on both trucks pretty soon after getting them. The clear reflector signals came from ebay. Quality as usual wasn't great. The signals started flaking the chrome inside. They'd be good donors if one wanted to go to the trouble to bake a set of OEM headlights and signals...- someotherguy

(SOLD) Launch CRP123 OBD2 scanner, like new - Houston
Yep, just doing some spring cleaning. You should see the number of ads I just posted on the LX (Mopar) forums now that I no longer own a Mopar - I think I put up more than a dozen items. It's live data, graphing, bidirectional communication - while I'll say there are probably some caveats. I...- someotherguy

(SOLD) GM DR44G 145A alternator - good used OEM unit
(SOLD) I dunno, what's this thing worth? It's off my 2006 Silverado SS 6.0, 145A unit, and the original one with about 100K miles on it. I thought I had a voltage regulator issue and replaced it with a brand new one but it was my misunderstanding of PCM-controlled regulators on these trucks...- someotherguy

(SOLD) Launch CRP123 OBD2 scanner, like new - Houston
This is a Launch brand CRP123 OBD2 scanner, it's like-new, in the box. I've used it maybe 3-4 times maximum. Don't need it anymore (bought a Tech 2) so it's time to pass it along to someone that needs a low-cost scanner. It's $134 brand new but you can almost always get it for $109 ("with...- someotherguy

New to Me GMT800? (Edit: Our New Yukon)
He's 100% correct on tightening, and torquing the control arms at ride height position. What I never thought of, but learned over on the gmt400 forum (from Schurkey) is that it's OK to ignore that warning if you're using the polyurethane bushings, and it makes total sense. The rubber bushings...- someotherguy

That quick mention in the article about the Intimidator, I'm reasonably sure that other than the specific cosmetic differences from a Silverado SS, it's the same mechanically as an SS - 100%. Having owned both for many years and only recently sold the Intimidator. Differences between the...- someotherguy
