2nd Gear Starts - Random
Interesting... does yours seem to do it more frequently with passing time? Mine does not seem to be getting worse (doing it more frequently), but it is hard to tell. I may try to keep track of when it does it. Last time it was around Jan 4th. Thank you.- JorgeS

2nd Gear Starts - Random
Wow! that's an awesome document - THANK YOU! I think it's different. Seems that if the clutch were in backwards, it would always act improperly. As it is, it rarely does it, working perfectly the rest of the time. Even when it does do it, I don't remember it ever doing it more than once in a...- JorgeS

2nd Gear Starts - Random
My 2005 Yukon has ~145,000 miles. Very little towing; I bought it with 103,000 and it had never had a trailer hitch installed. Transmission fluid was clearly changed before I bought it, and it is still a bright pink color. I installed a Curt hitch and have done some light towing with it, but...- JorgeS

Better reverse lighting ...
I would go with the Auxito LED 3157 replacement recommended above. I've had 7W LEDs (I don't remember the brand, bought 2+ years ago) and they work pretty well. LEDs will put out 8x-10x the light per watt compared to the OE bulbs, so they can really increase rear lighting. I also installed LED... -
Rusty Fuel Lines: Replacing lines not enough
Yes, we could have said: GMT800 is the best GM truck line Instead, we say: GMT800 is the best* GM truck line * except for brake & fuel lines- JorgeS

Rusty Fuel Lines: Replacing lines not enough
Running just fine; getting ready to start a 3500 mile trip on it with my wife and our dog. I believe 2019b was the first yeat for 6-lug Rams. I like the wheels because they have a simple design that looks rugged without looking massive.- JorgeS

HVAC actuators
Awesome! My rear blend works intermittently, and sometimes not at all. This will help me get into it when the weather warms (I'm always afraid of removing plastic panels when it's cold). I have electrical stuff, including variable voltage supplies and resistors, so I should be able to follow...- JorgeS

Your tools are more valuable than ever before
I'm not sure I miss my 1972 Ford Maverick with the 200 CI I6. Let's see... plugs and points every 10,000 miles, rebuild that one-barrel carb every two years (or less)...haha - the good old days? I think that's why this forum exists. We have vehicles that have the reliability of higher quality... -

If I respond as I fully want to, I'll cross over into being political, so I'll restrain myself. Interesting article! Seems like the "kids" learned nothing from the "parents" - failure on the parents' part. -
Your tools are more valuable than ever before
Not just technical schools, high schools also. My high school (Lane Tech in Chicago) had MANY shop classes. Many could be taken all four years, including double-period Auto Shop, Machine Shop, etc., in 3rd & 4th years. A co-op plan was available, sort of like an apprenticeship. One of my friends... -
Passing smog
My 1998 GMT400 threw the "catalytic converter below threshold" code intermittently for a long time; it would light up, then some time later it would go out, then back, and so on. I checked it with a scanner, and it would store the code even after the light went out. I never replaced the...- JorgeS

Your tools are more valuable than ever before
As a retired engineer (last position was as Electrification Engineer on Heavy Duty EV trucks/buses), I agree with you. When I graduated from a small, private, high-end college, it took about 3 months' of my new salary to equate to my senior year's tuition. Now, it takes about 9 months' salary of... -
2025 colorado/canyon wheels on our gmt800s
Those do look good; nice find. For those interested, 2019 and newer Ram truck wheels are also compatible with our trucks. I was able to find a set and put them on my 2005 Yukon. I like that they are relatively simple, yet look strong. Nice that we have so many choices for nice looking wheels, at... -
Welcome To Our New Moderator - 4silverado!
Thank you 4silvarado! It's guys like you that step up and keep things moving and cleanly. I am very active in a motorcycle forum (Concours Owners Group), and the policy is similar - keep it respectful, keep it clean. -
Problem with steering wheel controls
I agree with the clock spring comment. It coils and uncoils every time the steering wheel is turned. After some time, some of the wires in it can crack, losing the connection. When the wheel is turned all the way, the two ends of the cracked wire make contact, and things work again. When the...- JorgeS

Features deleted by GM (gmt800 life cycle)
It seems that the external fuel filter deletion (or actually, incorporating it into the fuel pump) was a cost savings without any real effect on users - why no effect? 1- the fuel pumps usually die well before the fuel filter would get plugged :confused: 2- The fuel lines, and the fuel pump...- JorgeS

Truck Norris cam and trailblazer i6 converter.
Yes! Fender liners are important for many reasons. Thanks for the tip; I'll be sure to look at the attachment points. This truck is in fantastic shape from the rockers up and interior like new; below, not horrible, but not great. I don't understand it; almost like it was stored in a...- JorgeS

Rusty Fuel Lines: Replacing lines not enough
My fuel lines were very rusty. There are many flexible lines available, and after looking over reviews, I bought a set of Dorman; they look very well made. I raised the truck on jack-stands. I was unable to get the rear fitting (to the nylon line) off, and after other setbacks, I decided to take...- JorgeS
