2004 Silverado 2500 Quadrasteer --> Quadramax Build Thread

[S33k3r]

This is a mixture of items:

Jump pack I used, temporarily while I was trying to get the battery replaced.
The trays from most of the cubbies in my Silverado. They are removable -- I removed them, ran them through my dishwasher, and set them back here to dry. Pretty easy in a sealed cab in 95+ degree weather.
The rest is just random stuff: plastic bags to carry small things if I find/need them; bungee cords that fell out of the box I usually carry them in; a rag "flag" if I have to carry a load longer than my bed; a cargo blanket I lay down when carrying one or more of my dogs; and tie-down straps that fell out of the same box as the bungee cords.


This is the last of the interior shots, for now.



It isn't showing it, but it also is the display for my backup camera.

This shows my 2015 bumper with steps, parking sensors installed by my radio shop that don't work; led license plate lights; twin 7 and 4 pin parking connector; spare tire channel cover (locked!); and you can see one of the license plate lights has come loose. I may end up using a little silicon to hold it in place, from the back.




The above 2 pictures are of each side of the front bumper with the parking sensors installed.

This is the passenger side front door. Note the sliding piece of plastic that is missing. Asd I'm hoping to only take this door apart once, I am waiting until I get a door lock actuator to check why the panel refuses to securely hold the lock slider.

This is the driver's side passenger door. I'm hoping to replace the red reflector with a powered light, very similar to the front door light. But I need to get the wiring harness for the door, and I am trying to see if there is a wiring harness that goes back to the fuse box so I don't have to run my own, independent wiring.

For those of you that have an angry alien without the rear AC/Heat controls, do you know if there is a pocket liner?

This is the powder coated jack bracket. Note the distinct lack of a jack on it... I have to get that added back in, sooner rather than later.

I'd check an overhead in a pickup in a jy for a cubby. You might luck out.

I just replaced the door actuator in my rear passenger side door as it was making a horrid finger nails on a chalkboard noise every time it moved the lock. And the tail gate issue got a new actuator since the sort wa sunder a lifetime warranty and I figure for couldn’t hurt. Now I gotta do the other three door lock actuators lol. Not a hard job to do on these things thankfully.

Uh.... What is a jy? By the way, I have one of these I have been considering adding to my truck:


The one I have has a cubby instead of the AC control, but does not have the Homelink buttons.

Jy--junkyard. I had the same overhead console in my 95 Blazer. Loved it.

Well... I have decided to go another way. The rocker panel / door sill is rusted out on my black truck, and I couldn't find anyone with an hour or two of my home that would fix rust; even then I don't even know how many thousands of $$$$ it would cost to repair.

So I've purchased the 2007 SilveradoHD LT3 Duramax that now appears in my signature. Here are some pictures for attention. I'll be adding 4 wheel steering to the new truck, instead of a diesel to the old truck.

It currently has a 6" Procomp lift on it, and is running 37/13.5R18 wheels.

I picked up in Nebraska the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and got it home about 1 or 2 Thanksgiving morning.

Got pulled over for the first time in it on the Saturday after Black Friday!

In the trooper's defense, it has no metal tags on it -- the tax office was closed the day I got it back to Dallas, and for the whole weekend. HOWEVER, I had ALL my paperwork and temporary tags from Nebraska. I turned that all over to him plus my license, and explained what was going on.

He came back with a written warning for tags, which he advised I could show to anyone else if I got pulled over again before I could get inspected and tagged. Nice guy, honestly.
