You asked about RPO codes. The sticker in the glove box? Here ya go.

RPO (Regular Production Option) GM master list

The door pns aren't really that bad. I recommend a hard surface, concrete or pavement. You will need patience and a buddy. A rolling floor jack and a block of wood to support it. A door spring compressor as well. Plenty of you tube videos to watch first. These folks sell the best door pin sets after a bunch of research. I used cheap ones on my 97 K1500 and they were junk quickly.

Nice looking truck. Once you get the little stuff right I bet you'll grow to love it.

Don't want to trash the other guy's dream or get lost in the random thread

My Green thing came from Spokane with a few more miles (80K is a few). I only paid 4K and got two more doors.

SES light on again. Posted about it once before, but can't find that post right now. Runs and drives fine though.

Can you check for codes? O2 sensors on these trucks get torched after many miles in service. Mine would always throw a code when i went on trips with large elevation changes.

^^ Code is P201, P204? ( I forget now) something about a small vacuum leak. They reset it and no light for weeks, but it comes back eventually.

Turned the key this morning ... starter spun free, not engaged. Never did that before.

Second try, it engaged and started fine.

So, I aired the tire up ....

Stern has a slight list to starboard.

That's about as flat as a tire can get. Not fun. Aired it up and will see how long it holds. Hopefully I'll be able to drive it to a shop because I really don't want to deal with it here. The two fronts are low too, but nothing like that.


Not looking forward to buying new shoes either.

... and let it sit for two days. No sign of air loss again. Drove it 60-70 miles into town and back. It's been sitting for another couple of days. Still no sign of air loss.

And the code referenced above is P 0442.

 

[Mean_Green]

Checked again today, so sign of air loss.

 

[Mean_Green]

Or again yesterday.

How can it only leak or go flat so rarely? Penetrated object wiggling and sometimes sealing? Valve stem intermittent?
