2000 GMT400 CREW CAB SFA SWAP-The Warden: Fuel leak fixed and awaiting surgery…

[campfire]

That makes sense. That sucks cause it's a new block heater. I'm wondering if I got it to close to the block or something.

What amperage are you drawing, and what is your breaker rated for? A 1500W block heater will just about max out a 15 amp circuit. A 1500W block heater + a 500W freezer defrost cycle will just about max out a 20 amp circuit (but only when running the defroster).

And tell us what resistance you find when you check continuity across the power cord pins.

Is this a problem that started when you replaced the block heater?

I was told the block heater didn't work, so I replaced it before the truck even came home.

Ok, now go answer the other three questions.

Fixed the light tonight. Whoopie. But it is the little things that fill the void.

Haha yep.

Might wanna put a 90 degree fitting on your boost line. That plastic line won't live forever hanging on its own weight.

 

[GWeakland620]

10-4 seems like a good idea.

 

[GWeakland620]

Got new shoes on today. Checked everything out while the wheels and tires were off. Everything looks goodentight still.

now ditch the door trim and pin striping

Very nice white truck.

I'm sure there is bad discoloration under the trim, not sure if I'll be pulling that off or not.

Very nice white truck.

Thanks!

pull a little and look

I'll start with the fender one and see what's under there. Those have to come off for the front flares anyways.

I can still remember my blistered fingers in HS from removing that exact trim from my full sized 93 blazer. In fact I only had one side pulled off for a long time....lol

 

[noJeepshere]

If there is discoloration, a little buffing and polishing will go a long way. I took the trim off mine to find some damage but it cleaned up to where only the most ocd notice it. Yours, being white, will hide that damage much better.

I agree. White hides it all and cleans up easily. Do it! I did it. You won't regret it.

Also, use a rubber wheel on a drill to make removing the adhesive and pin strip much easier. You can find them most anywhere that sales automotive paints.
