Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
 

Dang, I got my '96 rearend for $100 with no signs of wear, and bought the Eaton for an additional $100. Sounds like I got one heck of a deal :)

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
 

I think you did get a good deal Ed!

Thanks Aaron!

Dennis, it will cost me about $250 to set up the 3.42 R&P I have into Fred's rear end, so for me that's a good price for a complete rear end that will also give me the extra width that I want. But I just found one in Aurora for $175 that I could probably get for $150, I'll probably know about that one Friday.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
 

Of course, I then proceeded to put all new bearings and seals in it, so I killed another Benjamin ;).

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
 

Well, you think Fred is gonna be ready for this weekend? I am still holding out hope.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
 

Nope, to a chance now.

I just got the replacement "pedal position sensor" from Rock Auto that is suppose to be for the VIN Rancho gave me for my engine (which does match the PCM). Not even close! At all. I received the entire pedal assembly, and it is all plastic. The pedal Rancho sent me is all steel, and the sensor is removable.

I called Rancho and I wanted to tell Paul Smith to go get bent. He was getting pretty pissy with me. He said that everything is to be pulled from the same vehicle, but I told him that the pedal I received from them could not be from a 2006 1/2 ton 2wd pickup. He finally said he will get me what I needed and hung up.

NOTE - After spending a lot of time on Rock Auto, I finally figured out that the pedal they sent me is from a 2005, NOT an 06!!! The pedal and TAC module for 2006 and 2007 are specific to those two years ONLY!

This is what I got from Rancho:

This is what I should have:

So I will wait and see what I get from Rancho, if anything. At least I have the correct pedal in my possession, and can order the harness through GM.

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
 

That's a bummer man. Hopefully Rancho will help you out, but if not at least you know what the issue is. Good luck man.

I say Fred needs to be at the meet even if it has to show up on a trailer. :thumbs:

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
 

Yep thats the 05 pedal I have.

The 06 and present pedals are those plastic ones.

Sucks that they think your wrong, when its there mess up :devil:


Good luck Bob

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
 

Some of the salvage places aren't as nice as they used to be. They really just want to be done with it as soon as it leaves their sight. They will do anything, and tell you anything to make you happy when you are dealing with them the first time. My cousin has had several confrontations with them because he is doing something different than what it's intended purpose is. They aren't in the business of that, and get quite rude.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
 

Well, with some FANTASTIC help of the parts guy at the local Chevy dealer, I have some info......

The pedal that Rock Auto sent me, listed as an 06-07 pedal, is actually for a 2004-2010 Colorado/Canyon or a 2006-2010 Hummer. :banghead: This is the first issue I have ever had with Rock Auto. Bummed, but I'll continue using them.

I can order the pedal and harness through the dealer, and for an extra $25 have them tomorrow. Total cost of about $150.

I can order both through gmpartsdirect.com for about HALF that, but won't have them for another week.... possibly two as they are special order through them.

Or I can wait for Rancho to get me the correct parts.
















I want to go cruising this weekend. I'm on the phone with the dealer. :metal:

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
 

Oh, and some FREAKING AWESOME machined temp sending unit adapters showed up via the BBT!! mcbassin, you rock dude!! I think Fred is gonna go cruising after all!

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
 

WOOHOO!!!:ennyd:

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
 

Bob,
Sorry to hear about all of your pedal issues. I hope you get that sorted out quick. I also hope one of those brass parts will work for you. Amazing how much better they look in the picture. Good luck!

Mike

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
 

X 2... I'm trying to get the VIN for my 6.0 to purchase the correct DBW pedal and keep getting the run arround...


wish they were as helpful around here....... good luck

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
 

That sux about the pedal issue! Had you known a week ago you could have already acquired the correct assembly and had Fred up and driving...at speed ;). But at least you figured it out and it sounds like you are only a day away from near completion (don't forget the A/C...I'm gonna need you to figure that out before I start mine :) )

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
 

If you already have the PCM, see if you can find someone local that tunes them, they can pull the VIN from it. I think even since the stealerships can reflash them, they should be able to tell you also.

I got off the phone with Rock Auto a little while ago, they have already emailed me a pre-paid FedEx label to send the pedal back. They acknowledged that the part was boxed incorrectly, so they will credit my debit card the full price including the 2nd day FedEx shipping I paid. Rancho should take a clue from Rock Auto in customer service.....

The dealer ordered the pedal and harness for overnight shipping, so I should have that by lunch time tomorrow. So, if nothing else goes wrong (where the hell is some wood!), we'll be cruising this weekend!! :metal:

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
 

I've pretty much decided on the high-mount kit from Kwik Perf. It's just too tight in the stock location for my liking. Not saying it can't be done, it just doesn't set well with me.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
 

Anyone need an 04-05 pedal that has already been converted to use the original truck pedal? :haha:

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
 

Im a GM parts guy, if you need some help just PM me. I can get part numbers and pricing for you. I may not be fast because I don't have internet access at work(yeah, I know). This also goes for anyone else, just let me know.

I hope you go crusing this weekend with the new powerplant, it's been a long wait for us internet watchers :lol: Actually you work very fast, im just very impatient.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
 

I gotta tell you that you do some impressive and fast work!! :two: I am looking for a reasonable priced 6.0 for my 90 Blazer now!! Thanks for the inspiration!!

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
 

Well, I guess I should change my answer from "nope, not a chance now" to "partly cloudy with a chance of meatballs." :lol:

I'll know tomorrow night either yes or no. After that, I'm out of business days to order parts to arrive in time for a Sunday cruise. :D

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
 

How much for that pedal assembly? It'll work with my upcoming swap perfectly :)

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
 

$25 shipped?

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
 

damn Bob... sorry to hear about the troubles. i could go down to rancho in the morning and punch ol' Paul in the face if that would make ya feel better!;)

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
 

Mmmmm, actually, it would!! :haha:

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
 

:haha: sending pm

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
 

Bob, you should have called me. I may have been able to get you a little price break on that pedal from my parts department at work. ;) Glad it has the potential to come out this weekend. Hopefully it is as warm as it is supposed be this weekend.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
 

PM sent...

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
 

Ya know, I didn't even think about it at the time. By the time I figured out what the problem was and what I really needed for a pedal, I had about 30 minutes to decided if I wanted to get them or not so they could get the order in on time to have them here today. Oh well, next time! :lol:

Ed, back at ya!

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
 

We need VIDEO! :lol:

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
 

:haha:

Wow, when did I blow past the 5000 post mark??? :lol:

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
 

Uhmmmm 8 posts ago? :haha:

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
 

Smart a$$!


Actually, it was 9 posts ago!

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
 

:lol:

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
 

:lol: Bob did you get my pm?

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
 

I noticed you were coming up on it. Way to go Bob! That is what you get for being helpfull and all that crap! :D

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
 

Haha, yeah I did. If you want to, go for it! I think it would be hilarious! But otherwise, I'm pretty much done with them. If for some strange reason I do get the parts from him, I'll probably just sell them. Actually, if he DOES have the right parts and hasn't shipped them yet, tell him you are there to get them for me! :haha: You know as much of the details as he does, more actually! Tell him you are my Sacto family boss! :lol:

Must be all that crap! :lol:

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
 

I can get truck rear ends for $85 complete at the pull it yourself yard with a 30 day warranty or pay $300 at the main yard and get a six month warranty.

They sell the gears and carrier as a set for $47. Only thing missing is the carrier bearing races and shims. For some reason they don't leave those on the assembly.

The ones with ultra low miles (like under 1000) go for a little more but most are just $47.
