    Like the Duramax. Forest green sounds like the perfect color for that rig. Once you get it sorted out and repaired it would be a perfect tow vehicle. Bet when you pulled in your yard and you hit that big bump, your fuel filter housing was jarred again and that's what caused the engine power issue.

  • @GTsGarageTech
    @GTsGarageTech 6 місяців тому +33

    The cruise control not working/glitching out is your brake light switch. It’s on the brake petal and will cause the cruise to quit working, but the brake lights will still work. I’ve done it on multiple of those era GM trucks. Super simple fix

    • @aicsusa
      @aicsusa 6 місяців тому +6

      Had the same problem too on a couple of my Chevy trucks! Try pulling back up on the brake pedal with your toes and see if the cruise works then. It may just need a little adjusting. Leave a little gap between the switch and the brake pedal. 5-minute fix should cure that problem!

      Nothing happened. The only reason the engine power reduced came up was because he hit that massive bump pulling it into the yard that threw the fuel filters around and the computer detected it putting the truck into safe mode.

    I’ve got that same filter setup on my 93 Chevy 6.5 turbo diesel, and my 03 dodge ram 5.9. I got mine directly from cat here in Mesa Arizona. Check the headlight switch to see if there’s an auxiliary position that activates the aftermarket lights. I think you did good on the truck. Not going to loose money. That’s an easy $25k On a different note, that basketball hoop next to that bedroom window. Around my house, that would be a broken window by the end of the day! Just my observation. And yes! Ditch that topper!

LOL Dare you to run the Monte Carlo by the rock thrower wide open headers and full throttle!!! ROFL! Maybe even a good burnout in front of his house would be precious, nah that would be priceless! LOL! This truck is one hell of a truck, I have been looking at 4x4 trucks and jeeps and they are nothing like that, that is one monster and I bet it would tow a house while climbing a wall. Good luck! Thanks for sharing my friend! God bless you all!

Your laughter and humor is contagious and you are so knowledgable and explain everything so well especially in the replacing the front control arms for the Tesla. My partner who is COMPLETELY clueless with cars actually was understanding what was going on and we were both cracking up laughing. Your videos have rekindled my relationship with my partner. Thank you. We love any you make and the consistancy and can not thank you enough. Hopefully one day I will have enough money to do what you do. Goal is by the end of the year get a project car to work on with my partner something like this and just work it out with my partner together. It will help us spend so much more time together and your videos have inspired that.

Whoever is driving that Fork lift is rushing around the way he runs that machine. That is what popped up in my mind when I saw the damages. Hopefully it is not to damaged.

A nice black would look good on that or maybe white or red. All right. Let me finish watching the video. Another great video. She needs a lot of work but the end result is going to be amazing. And that was a great deal. Have a good one bro. Keep up the great work. I’ll catch you on the next one.

    Orange or yellow would look killer with the black wheels & bumpers, but because of the texture going dark will probably be the best route . Since it would take forever to get that stuff off I'd coat the new bed rather than grind down the rest of the truck.

    even with all the damage and issues that is a very nice truck, I'm not much of a chevy guy but those older 3500s run great. and I'm guessing those holes in the bottom center were where the light controls were mounted like 2 smaller holes for the bracket and the larger ones may have been where some wires came in

    Randy, this truck doesn’t have GM’s optional info display buttons that would’ve been on the drivers side for the Silverado/Sierra trucks, and next to the right side of the steering wheel on the Tahoe/Yukon SUVs. I’m not sure if you can swap them into your truck, but I do know that it’s possible to swap in the audio controls that are usually on the right side of the steering wheel, considering your truck doesn’t have audio controls, but that’s all I know. Love your channel man! Keep up the great content!

    Cruise control issue is normally the brake light pedal switch. Easy fix.

    The rock throwing fireman 👨‍🚒 is going to love the exhaust brake. He might get a cannon next .

    The cruise control not working is probably the brake light switch. My truck does it all the time if you tap the back of the brake pedal with your foot and then press set it should work but just replace it it’s easy and cheap and fixes the problem.

    Putt a black work bed on it and you won’t have to worry about matching a new bed with the pink bed liner.
