Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Installed my boneyard sway bar. Wow what a difference, $50.00 well spent!

If you haven't added one of these yet I would suggest you take the time well worth the money and the little effort to install.

Just upload it to imageshack.com or tinypic.com or windypix.com or any of the places that let you hold a pic for free. Then put it in pic bbcode. You need to know this. A bracket is this key:
[ <---see that?

The code goes OPENBRACKET, then IMG, then CLOSEBRACKET. I cant type it or the board will think im posting a pic, but here's it with a space in it.
[IMG ]
then goes the link to your picture.
then the same bracket code but with a slash.
[/IMG ]
Delete the spaces.

You end up with this:
[IMG ]http://www.tinypic.com/84838322/myCOOLpicHERE.jpg[/IMG ]

Hopefully this ends up showing up right. Again dont forget to delete the spaces in my example.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?





I'm tellin ya guys, you can post any time by using the code I told you about. No need to fix anything on the board because it doesnt use the board, it just grabs the pic from the interwebs.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Here's where I am today. The previous owner before the previous owner (I think) managed to take a perfectly simple, well labeled EZ Wiring harness and screw it up beyond description. After driving it for nearly 3 years with ALL the circuits (including lights, etc.) wired to only work with the key on, I decided to straighten things out. This idiot had the ignition and accessory circuits tied to gether via the headlight switch some way that defies logic. The gauge wiring was connected to the front turn signals in the same manner. I can't believe anything worked or that it didn't burn to the ground. Anyhow, after clipping and reconnecting a few wires and some tidying up I'm on the way to having this mess fixed. Thankfully he didn't butcher the harness, only did some strange circuitry.

If was any of you guys that did this, you're an idiot!

Thomas I feel you pain w/po, mine did not understand the concept of color coding by adding wires of a different color and gauge. All you can do is fix it and wonder what on earth were they thinking? Good luck..Vernski

I know how you feel. The idiot who owned the truck before I bought it from my friend totally screwed up the wiring in this thing. Every time I look underneath the dash it makes me think that a monkey wired this together. Some people just don't have the common sense to take care of their truck I guess. Definately gonna be getting a new wiring harness for mine! Good luck on yours T. Smith.

Yesterday I put new front and rear brakes on and bent up some tailpipes.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Put some push rod cover gaskets on today. Hopefully it will stop that darn leak.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Changed the oil and filter on my 65 project truck. It came out light brown and runny with a hint of gas. Good news, no coolant.

If you have a mechanical fuel pump, it’s possible the diaphragm is leaking and could be pumping gas into the crankcase.

I feel your pain. Good thing it's a GMC. Probably would have totaled a lesser vehicle.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Got rid of this wiring mess from an old alarm installed by a previous owner. Still have some wiring to fix and clean up. Eventually I will get a new harness.
