Why did GM do this?
I do not understand why GM thought it was a good idea to scale the coolant temperature gauge like this. There is no way you can look at it and figure out what the temperature is unless you are good … Continue reading
Stepper Motor Pictures
I had to take apart one of the little stepper motors from my gauge cluster to see what was inside. It is amazing you can get these little motors for $3 each… those little tiny gears are amazing by themselves.
Quadzilla’s Gauge Cluster
GM installed poor-quality stepper motors in most all GM trucks in the 2003-2006 model years. Amber’s Tahoe was covered because she had under 60000 miles, but Quadzilla is a year older and has 20000 more miles so I was SOL. … Continue reading

Who Wants to Steal Quadzilla?
This is what I found today. I didn’t notice it this morning or at lunch, so I figure it must have happened this afternoon in the parking garage at work. Seems harder than just breaking the glass, which makes me … Continue reading
What Gears Should I Use
I need to decide which ring and pinion gears to use. (currently have 3.73) I was thinking I wanted 4.30’s, but now I’m considering 4.56. Conventional wisdom says my gas millage will go down, but I’m not convinced of that. … Continue reading
