My cousin is active duty and her Chevy cost like $30 or something crazy like that.

 

My owners manual says it comes on every 5k, it will start to blink at startup at 4k. When you change the oil you can reset it

 

I think that's the light where you turn the key so many times, then press and hold the odometer button and turn the key again or something..

Edit: This is what I had to do to my friends 06 to get her light to go off:

just hold the odometer button down while on the mileage tab and turn the key to 'on'

should see a bunch of flashing zero's counting down and the mileage tab will show again.

 

Thanks guys. Yea it went on around 9700 miles or so. I was kinda worried something was wrong. Haha.

 

starting cleaning this today, probably start on the wiring tomorrow.

 

hmmm...

 

Awww Shitte ! Right on Mike

 

here's a peak at what the wiring includes

have to put this



into this

 

Don't cut the blue wire too short.

 

just hope I still have the electrical wiring diagram, that single plug next to the AC on the plastic bracket is in the place of where the 4wd ecu goes...need to know what those wires are

 

That's awesome that you're doing a 4wd conversion, much respect.
You sure the harness just doesn't plug into the 4wd ecu. Can't imagine they'd make different harnesses for the same truck with different options.

 

i've been thinking that, but I pulled the entire 4wd wiring from the donor truck anyways just to be on the safe side.

poking around behind the dash looks like the terminal for the 4wd control knob is already wired in, just tapped off...so i've been leaning more on the trucks are built with the 4wd harness, and just configured depending on the truck build at the factory.

I'll have to also get creative with how i'll have to modify the trans support to work with my mid skid since i'll have to use the Inchworm trans adapter for the 2wd trans.

the "remaining" things that need to be done besides bolting up the transfercase are;

wiring
trans support
lengthen fwd drive shaft ~2.5"
shorten rear drive shaft to fit...I guess it could be short enough to make a 1-piece out of the DCLB shaft that I still have.

 

thats awesome mike!

 

Anyone know where a good place to look for used parts might be? I've only been to the junkyard at the bottom of lehua and that didn't have much.

 

I've been to Campbell Industrial Park junkyard in the back once, try them out

 

Big mahalos to Conor "Cboy808" for the stickers.

 

Yups, also been there couple times to get some parts from a wreck (I think a 2010) Taco. But this was months and months ago.

 

They hooked me up a pretty good price for a master window switch and even cleaned it nice, no complaints here

 

Anyone use pond liner for their squeaky leafs? I know Mike sprayed his down, and some mainland guys use pond liner (thicker than bicycle tube). I called around and could't find pond liner by the foot. Bought a length of the rubber floor moulding, but it is super thick.

Thoughts?
