    Cubby hole gauge mount

    I am looking for something similar, but I need to mount switches, not gauges, so perhaps a blank/universal cover, anybody know if such an animal is available?

    tap shifter with your 6 speed conversion

    OK, should have done this in the first place I guess, just spoke with SunCoast, and yes, it will work with the 6 speed conversion, one can switch from 6th to 5th to 4th etc and back up again, when in tow/haul mode 6th gear will not work, which is what happens right now anyway, the only thing is...

    tap shifter with your 6 speed conversion

    Hi, I got an '02 2500HD with your 6 speed conversion, will your tap shifter kit work ok with that conversion and do I need to have my TCM re programmed, thanks for your advise.

    interesting!

    when I bought my '02 2500HD a month ago I was told that it was 'chipped', but nobody knew how. Anyway, I drove it for a couple of weeks and I worked out that I was getting about 16-17mpg's around town. The other week I took it to the local GMC dealer and had it re flashed to factory settings...

    AstroStart RS-611 programming

    the RS-611 needs to be programmed as well, that is, changed from its factory default settings, such as auto gearbox, diesel and a few other settings. The DBALL is actually really simple, it has a self learning ability, one goes through a few steps and it learns the cars security system in order...

    AstroStart RS-611 programming

    I got an AstroStart RS-611 with an XPRESSKIT DBALL security system bypass unit. It all looks fairly straight forward except for the programming steps for the RS-611. With the instructions that came with the remote starter, its a combination of icon pictures and like a flow chart, really does...

    some white smoke during idle

    no, I've only had the truck for one week. I am getting it checked out as it is supposed to be 'tuned', so I might get them to check that as well, do you think it could be an injector/s problem? Because if it is, it will go straight back to the dealer. It seems to run and idle well, accelerates...

    paint code??

    I have been able to locate the tire pressure chart, drivers door, battery caution label, fan shroud, but have not been able to locate the data label/plate which shows paint code and other production details, can someone please point me in the right direction, thanks.

    some white smoke during idle

    here's another newbie to diesel question. Once warmed up, there's some white smoke, not a lot, coming out of the exhaust, but no smoke, white or black, when driving, accelerating, that I have noticed. I am running with OptiLube in the diesel. Mine has just over 100000 miles on the clock...

    whistling noise...turbo?

    yup...like that!...but only hear it with window down, when windows closed, I hear a slight turbine sound.....:)

    whistling noise...turbo?

    thanks for the feedback. Come to think of it, I sometimes hear similar whistling noise coming from semi tractors. I am pretty sure it comes from under the hood, inside the cabin you can just hear a turbine kind of noise at the same time, so I am assuming it is the turbo. Now, this truck too has...

    whistling noise...turbo?

    this is my first diesel-turbo, so still trying to get used to all the new noises etc. With a window down, I can hear a whistling noise, increasing and decreasing in tone and intensity with relevant throttling, is that the turbo? My 2002 came fitted with a cold air intake and 4" exhaust, in...

    Camper

    thanks. Single owner before we got it, very little use and stored covered most of its life. We're off on a west coast trip in April for about 2 weeks.
