Talking 71 addition

I bought a GM Home link a few months ago to install it in the 71 truck. These things are pretty easy to use and I don't have the clicker door button on my viser anymore. I installed it in the ash tray since I don't smoke anymore and it works fine. I have 2 more buttons I can program if I had something to use them for.
I moved the Scan Gauge to the bottom of the dash and velcro'ed it.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

I ran the orange and white wires both to a 12 volt switch hot. The black went to ground. The H/L will keep the memory no matter if the orange is always hot are not once set. I gave $20.00 for the H/L.

Yes garage doors, gates anything that is ran by a remote. They even can turn on/Off alarm systems in the house and lights for coming home in the dark.

Re: 71 addition

Andy4639, can you tell us what gm vehicle the homelink came out of? And gm part number? And just to clarify, this is completely self contained? The transmitter and all electronics are installed on the back side of the module you show?

I have homelink in my '14 2500 gmc and have the garage door, and both barn doors programed in. Much better than buying multiple garage door openers and having multiple garage door openers on your sun visor.
thanks, Dave

Yes it's all that one piece in the ashtray. Sorry don't have the part number I got it out of a Junk at the local yard. I got mine out of a 08 Tahoe since I own one. Any GM product should work though. I had to cut the plastic down to fit into the ashtray and then sniped the ashtray sides just enough to bend it down to hold it in place. I went on line and got the instructions for clearing it and then programed it. It worked on the first try.
