Yah, I know they're big and bulky. But when they're needed, they're a lifesaver. I keep mine in the bed tool box just to keep it out of the way, but yet still handy.

I have a 27ft TT and I pull it with my '89 K2500. I always use the weight distributing hitch. But then my factory tow package Class IV hitch has a maximum hitch weight of about 800 pounds when not...

Just keep an eye on your actual tongue weight and don't exceed the trucks allowable tongue weight when you load up that front storage area.

You probably fried the ecu and/or the ignition module. I would check on the ignition module first. electronics HATE to have their power supplies wired backwards.

Sorry to hear that. We need more parts people that care more for customer satisfaction than their own personal "bonus". More and more managers are more worried about making the sale than satisfying...

The longer the short is maintained, the higher the likelyhood of damage to the voltage regulator.

That being said, if the short was in a circuit that would only draw a small number of amps, the...

JReach44 - The first thing I would do before resorting to modifying the truck permanently is make sure that there isn't multiple part numbers for your year and style truck. Take the O2 sensor that...

jcshipp - I have the 1989 K2500 with the same quad sealed beam headlights. I can't say that I'm having the same issue as you, but I do understand. Two of the lights are low beam and two of the...

You could always break that circuit with a relay that is connected to an ignition switched source.

I wouldn't say the test done by your Advanced Auto Parts was inaccurate. It's more likely that their tester only placed a large enough load on the alternator to verify that it is working. Not...

That's what U-Haul is for.

I don't know about your truck, but GM used to put automatic valves in the heater system. When the engine warmed up the valve would open and the heater core would get warm. Be sure to pressure check...

A sudden overcurrent situation, as in your case, will lilkely do damage to the voltage regulator. It may run just fine under a small load, but if you load it up with everything on your truck, you...

I'm only going from memory on previous discussions about A/C units, but......

Did you check both the high side and low side pressure switches? Fuse for the A/C?

My two cents.

I might have missed it, but.... You did realize that the white LED strips will only be cycling between full on and full off, right? They will only come on when you are in reverse and won't need to...

Has anyone thought about what it would take, and the headaches you would encounter, to make a crew cab out of something like the Gen2 1955 stepside? The older lines are beautiful, but you just can't...

What do you think the spark plug is using for a ground when it is installed? The block!!!!

Bad grounds will play havoc with all kinds of systems. You're lucky that only your lights are being affected right now. If you find and fix the bad ground, you not only could fix the lights, but...

notpilbrisk - in response to the question that I received from you - here is a photo of the manual I have:

Inside you will find separate images and instructions for the different R/V and C/K...

'88 and '89 were the transition years. I have an '89 K2500. The parts for the '88 and '89 are usually listed separately or have some kind of notation on them whenever you go looking for parts. You...

As with any part vendor, there are people who swear by them, and people who only swear at them. I seem to recall other threads on this site about buying from LMC.

I, personally, have not had the...

If you still have the same symptoms after fixing the ground and having everything load tested, I'd say you simply need a larger alternator. My two cents.

Out here in Oregon we have issues with the "Protected Wetlands" issues as well. I work with a fellow whose father was told that he couldn't grow crops on one of his own pieces of farm land because...

Here is my '89 K2500. Factory paint is coming off pretty good, but it still runs like a champ!
