Should mention the am/fm radio antenna is right fender right by the glass. The 2/70sh is going to be mounted via nmo in the center of the truck. The second antenna was going to be mounted 20 or so inches behind. First, was for situational coms and aprs. Secondary, antenna which was going to be...

Much appreciated. Probably only going to be able to get at max about 20-24 inches of separation. Desense really what i was worried about. Have a radio go deaf and get damaged. Hurts when both radios I was looking at are about $400 each. As far as the antennas not touching going to be tough...

Thanks. Helps me alot. Since I wanted dual vhf/uhf rigs on the roof and maybe a no ground plane Cb on the front fender.

How far apart is the recommended distance between 2 2m/70cm antennas? How can I limit overloading the front of the radios? I plan on having two 2m antennas of the room of a 2002 suburban. One for an ID5100a and the other for an FTM 400.

Learning, some of this isn't really published anywhere. You got ask from what I can tell. So any info is welcome. It didn't come across wrong in any way to me. Things like will a pogo connector to Rj11 will work for a quick disconnect for the remote radio heads work well, or are the losses to...

Makes a lot of sense. I will keep that in mind. I guess if it is questionable in my mind I could just log it in eQSL.

Much appreciated. For the input. You have no idea how much it helps with this hobby.... it is deeper than the sea at times.

Hoping some of the more seasoned hams can answer a couple questions. I am a new Technician, less than 2 weeks and have some questions. Unfortunately, I can't make the local ham meets or nets due to conflicts with time. My neighbor who was kinda my informal elmer has now moved cross country so...

MIghty be stupid, However, quick questions. 1. When was the timing belt last changed? Most of the time timing belts and plugs are done on the same interval. 2. Do you regularly run the fuel low? Fuel pressure gauges are cheap.

Do you have to flip the shock bolt on the rear of a 2500 like you do on a 1500?

I love the bench option. Almost all the fleet and ls 2500's come with the bench. Four bolts and the center seats come out easily, you can replace it with an old police console for you year. Which you can use to mount, scanner, displays etc. Keep in mind the gmt800's the center row benches do...

Maxme from Matco (made by Launch, prepare for a lot of chinglish and a terrible ui) is a viable option. It cost about 849 can have individual lines (makes) activated via monthly or annual subscriptions. IT was designed for a small shop or individual owner (aka freelance mechanic) whom wanted a...

Most scanners will have those basic functions. I'm talking about actuating modules, motors, lights, solenoids etc.

Short answer new, No. You need a bilateral scanner unfortunately, they average for entry level ones are quite a chunk of change. Torque app will let you read and clear most codes. This can let you limp a car home, not always. Hard faults will not clear till the issue is corrected, for example if...

G80 is the RPO code for the auto locking rear end on GM trucks, it's made by Eaton. I say generally because you will find that sometimes mostly on cars/trucks the g80 code will refer to a posi-traction (limited slip) unit. Not sure if the z71 skid plates will fit on a 2500. Since the frames if...

My z71 factory hitch says its rated for 5k and 12k with a weight distribution. The truck itself is rated to 7200. I really wanted the 2500/6.0L/4.10 combo. G80 on 2500 you never hear about the rear blowing up, plus no real gas mileage penalty if at all compared to a 1500/5.3L, with the...

Definitely piston slap but there some lifter tick. Varies depending which oil brand I use and quality of oil at the time. Never been a concern for me, I consider it normal Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

In general these are high failure parts, water pump, fuel pump, intake manifold gasket, brake lines those all seem to go out like clock work on the gmt800. Power steering cooler or cooler hose for hydro boost models. Those are the normal things they come in for, that are not maintenance items...
