Joining from Missouri

[mars2878]

Welcome aboard

 

[Mikloangelo]

Great looking truck! Welcome from Texas. Any plans for it, or just driving like it is.

 

[Daveb]

It will just be my daily driver. On my way home from Oregon, I will be house/dog/cat sitting for our son and daughter in law. I’ve already found a set of shocks and bump stops for it, had them delivered to sons house, and will replace them while I’m there, gives me something to do for a half day or so!

Mid 70's here in Eugene, today.

Welcome aboard! I am new to this forum aswell and also from Missouri. That is a nice looking truck you found. Congrats!

 

[Daveb]

It’s in my possession and we’re on our way back to Missouri

 

[ORVietVet]

Yep, that's what rust free GMT800's look like in Oregon. Have fun and please post more pics, all around, interior and engine bay. Even underneath to show off that frame.

super clean! drive safe and enjoy the cruise!

 

[Cadillacmak]

Wow! I am in love, that is nice.

 

[Daveb]

At my first stop home, I had the a/c charged. Functioning, but just cool. It’s ice cold now!

 

[Daveb]

It had no owners manual, I have one on order. Is there anything unusual about the headlights or switch? Seems to be wonky, but maybe I’m just not understanding

 

[ORVietVet]

Post a pic of the switch

All the way left and pointed at the "0", is off. Next up is headlights and running lights. Next up is just park lights/running lights.

 

[Daveb]

Are all positions overridden by the “dome “ switch or the daylight sensor?

 

[ORVietVet]

The dome override is to either allow the dome light to come on when you open the door or keep it turned off when you open the door, IIRC.....Secret Agent stuff.

I do not see an "auto" setting, so I do not think they will come on when gets dark enough because it likely has no daylight sensor.

Is your switch just like the pic I supplied? I asked for a pic of yours. Well.......

 

[Daveb]

Same switch, but that dome override has an effect on the headlights, whether or not intentional I don’t know yet

Well, then until you get the owner's manual, just make sure you got lights at night and that the "0" turns them off thru the day. I have a different switch. My girl would say that the problem here is that the truck is "RED".

 

[Daveb]

It has/had something to do with the dome override. If you push it 4 times in rapid succession, there will be a ding and that, I believe, turns off the automatic portion of the headlights. We appear to be functioning okay now

That's normal on this year truck ( I thought it was 3 times though?). That's the 99-02 generation.

On the 03+, they added a setting on the left (momentary switch, which you turn counterclockwise) on the knob, that disables the daylight running lamps (DRL).

Truck looks great BTW!
