    Send me your e-mail address and I will send you the diagrams. I did them in MS Visio 2012 but you can download and install a Visio reader for free.

    Power Window and Mirror Conversion Done

    That is kind of what I did but I cut out what I needed and mated it to my existing harness and in some cases created my own harness. You can try to use the whole harness from another truck but it may or may not have all the connections/plugs you will need to mate it to your truck's components...

    Power Window and Mirror Conversion Done

    Pat, I sent you the diagrams I made plus a couple more I found, especially the factory power door lock diagram because you said you had the factory wiring pigtails. Let me know if you need anything else. I sure hope you can get everything working.:flag:

    UPGRADED my brakes: Rotors, Pads, and Stainless Steel Braided Hoses

    Thanks Jim. I will check them out and see what I can dig up. I have the GM Part numbers for the Z71 Jounce Bumpers and might just order/install them. I know it's an upgrade to the original ones that came on my 4x4.

    UPGRADED my brakes: Rotors, Pads, and Stainless Steel Braided Hoses

    Thanks guys. BTW a manager from Amazon called me and did a "follow up" regarding all my issues with shipping and the wrong part. I had a nice laugh about the whole thing and told her not to sweat it. Although it was one of the worst ordeals I have ever been involved with, I couldn't judge...

    UPGRADED my brakes: Rotors, Pads, and Stainless Steel Braided Hoses

    After over 13 years I decided to upgrade/replace the brakes on the truck. I also decided to replace the brake hoses with Stainless Steel Braided lines and flush the entire system and replace it with new Synthetic Dot 3 fluid. I ordered the PowerStop K2010 Rotor/pad kit...

    Power Window and Mirror Conversion Done

    It really wasn't all that hard BUT I did a ton of research and double-checking before I tackled everything. I hate wiring because it's so tedious and you have to have tons of patience, which I don't, but I'm glad I took my time because I know it will last a long time. If I ever sell this truck...

    Power Window and Mirror Conversion Done

    Now I'm getting anxious because the moment of truth is nearing. :ohnoes: New power window regulator installed on the passenger side. New power window regulator installed on the driver's side. (Not a good pic, sorry :dunno:) Driver's side wiring complete and Vapor Barrier reinstalled...

    Power Window and Mirror Conversion Done

    OK, So now comes the harder parts of the project...WIRING for both doors. I had to basically take apart the entire dash to route the wiring from the passenger door over to the driver's switch. PAIN IN THE ASS!!!!! Here is the passenger door wiring. This was the easiest by far... I used...

    Power Window and Mirror Conversion Done

    Well I finally finished the project. Thanks again to Scotty for answering ALL of my questions. This was a tedious project but well worth it. Basically when I bought the truck new in 2000, I didn't get power windows because I figured I didn't need them...Fast forward 12+ years and I wished I...

    New Battery

    I had to buy another one yesterday as well but I stuck with an Optima. It lasted about 4 years in the Texas heat and another 2 1/2 years out here in NC. It was only pumping out about 200 cranking amps after the parts place tested it. They put it on a quick charge and it came up to 500 cranking...

    How Many People Here Know How to Drive A Manual Transmission?

    Forgot to mention that I trained the wife to drive a 5-speed... 1 clutch later :ohnoes: and she was driving like Mario Andretti on the highways! :thumbs:

    How Many People Here Know How to Drive A Manual Transmission?

    Hell yeah, nothing wrong with a manual. I learned on a 1973 F-100 (3 on the tree of course). Owned a 1972 Datsun with a 3 1/2 speed (the shifter was broke :lol:) and owned 1 car and 3 other trucks with a manual. I have just become lazy and don't want to bang gears anymore BUT if I won the lotto...

    CV Shafts SNAFU

    Atlantic Avenue Tire and Service (Lee Weathersbee is the Service Manager) They are really good people Nick. I am glad I found them because they will probably now be the place I take my truck for things I don't have time to mess with. Here is a link to their site...

    Need a favor...

    Can someone with a 1999 - 2004 extended/standard cab pickup with power windows/door locks do me a favor? Can you pull your driver's switch and see which wire(s) connects to the interior lights in the switch? I know which one works with the passenger switch but I am having trouble locating...

    CV Shafts SNAFU

    UPDATE: Yep, it's good news this time :D Well Monday morning as I sat (still pissed) and thought about how much I wished the wife would'nt have dropped the $640 on that CV Shaft, I started snooping around on the Internet looking for a shop that might still repair CV Boots. I came upon a...

    CV Shafts SNAFU

    Right on brother :thumbs: They say great minds think alike:tmc: I am definitely going to that AFTER I get my truck out of the garage and back on the road. I know the wife is tired of me driving her 4Runner and getting in muddy! I keep telling her that's what 4x4's are for! She's lucky I don't...

    CV Shafts SNAFU

    Thanks again Ivan, that is very generous of you and your dad. I will definitely keep that in mind in case the cv shaft my wife bought doesn't work, but I have to believe it will work if they ordered the part using my VIN. Shoot, the original cv shafts lasted over 12 1/2 years before both boots...

    CV Shafts SNAFU

    Sorry guys I haven't updated this in a couple of days. The wife and I went out of town and just got back about an hour or so ago. Well the wife bought me (ordered it actually) the cv shaft from the dealership on Friday because she was sick and tired of me saying :wtf?:all the time because the...

    CV Shafts SNAFU

    At this point in this endeavor Mitch I am sick of guessing. If I purchased this one and waited for the 2-day or even overnight and I got it in and ran into the same issue, I would be back to square one. Just sick of this nonsense now.

    CV Shafts SNAFU

    Just for gee whiz I went out to the garage this morning and reinstalled the previous CV Shaft I bought from Advance Auto (the one that started all this mess) to make sure IT wouldn't bind when I tried bolting the cv shaft flange to the trans-axle. If it binds, then I would know the issue...

    CV Shafts SNAFU

    Basically here is the issue. I install the new shaft and that goes in without an issue. The problem (binding) occurs when I try and bolt it to the trans-axle side (6 bolts). I will install 1 or 2 bolts then spin the cv shaft to allow me to install the other bolts and it binds or won't allow me...

    CV Shafts SNAFU

    UPDATE (and it's bad) CarQuest called and said their truck was early so I could come by and check out their part against mine. Well, it "looked" the same as far as the flange was concerned but I noticed a little bit of difference in the part of the shaft that slides into the spindle but I was...
