Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
I wanted to tweak it so it would fit.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
so while our BMW throttle pedal bracket is on tour opening up for Guns N Roses we decided to keep busy, so let's put this stock OEM wire harness back in, how hard could it be?

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
honestly there aint that much to it, i've deleted the, radio, and factory AC and heater connections, so all we have left is
dang it I put it all away when I heard the ol' lady pull up in the driveway and forgot to take some final pics with all the gizmos laid out (heater controls, wiper motor, dome light, etc.) |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
I was super productive today, installed this parking brake cable grommet all by myself, is it a parking brake or an emergency brake, what do you all call it?

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Hubcap looks nice (straighten that bowtie). Kinda chuckled seeing the firing order on the 2x4. Years down the road that will be seen as some sort of "EV hieroglyphics".

and as far as the bowtie I was wondering how many people would get bent out of shape for it being vertical, remember I'm a GMC Guy, ha ha |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
nothing like buying brand new parts and having to modify them straight away, I really wish GM and BMW engineers communicated more better
and what is this appendage ? |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
some gentle persuasion was required
$4 bit coin bucks to the first person to tell us what them magnets are out of? Fun Fact: if they ever go missing, flip your floor jack over... you're welcome ! |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
I'm sure I am late in this but those are hard drive magnets. I love those things for doing sheet metal replacement.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
finally time to do some softwearing
so I integrated Damien's BMW Safety Box code, you know the one that controls the contactors inside that box, with his ver 2 VCU (the older controller before Zombie Verter) commercial software or firmware version gs450h_v3_user so this is what my custom combined menu looks like now BMW Safety Box Code On Lexus GS450h VCU Ver 2 |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
then I recalled that I wasn't too keen on 351 volt power lines hanging off the inverter on two M6 bolts so I decided to reinforce them with a custom bracket
as always we source our metal from only the finest of scrap piles |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Fun fact the holes on the left are not at the same elevation as the ones on the right on the Inverter (but if I don't tell you, you will never know that I have a slanted bracket)
I'm very please with the way it turned out, and it's strong enuff to tow a boat |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
I grew tired of trying to convince my petrol heads that electric cars have less moving components than gas guzzlers so I whipped this out:

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
now let me tell you what you already know when it comes to these trucks
so we were doing great until we wasn't, I recently discovered that my truck never had a hole in the floor for the transmission ( I'M LOOKING AT YOU PATRICK ) and somewhere along the line one of the previous owners cut the hole out, this explains why I didn't find any of these U nuts around the perimeter holes as they were recessed way too far away from the edge (and had to recruit a family member to sit in the cab and hold a wrench whilst I crawled under with another wrench, any time I wanted to put on or remove that tortoise shell) here's some pictures of an unmolested 1972 truck (mine is a 1971 so same thing(ish)) |
