Rick Anderson It looks good in the sun. I am a little critical when it comes to my work. I try hard to do my best on every job but sometimes it doesn't turn out perfect. Perfection is for show cars not daily drivers.
How difficult us it to replace the door handles? Somebody broke into my truck and the passenger door won't unlock sometimes. It's weird, it's like the door doesn't unlock all the way, but sometimes it opens normally. Not sure what the problem is, but the thief punched-out the lock cylinder.
@@mossman381 Yeah, I had a feeling something is bent or broken. I've watched a few videos on the door handles and it looks pretty tight inside the door, not lots of room to work with. I guess I'll just pull the door panel off and see what's going on in there. I'd assume the lock cylinder is still inside the door, so hopefully I can re-use it so I don't have to have a different key.
@@mossman381 any idea on why my passenger door only unlocks intermittently? It's weird, sometimes it unlocks, other times it doesn't...It doesn't always lock either. Is the door lock system really advanced? I honestly don't know where to start. Thx!!
@@mossman381 both lock cylinders are gone, I'm guessing they're inside the door down at the bottom. It sucks because if I lose my key fob, I can't get into the truck. Do you have any videos where you work on the door handles/locks?
@@mossman381 Is there some kind of power supply in the lock mechanism? The reason I ask is because the passenger door usually unlocks right after I park, but if you wait a few min, it won't unlock. So weird. Any help you can recommend would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!
I love this truck very much and I’ve got a mostly stock one almost identical to it except mine is a 1999. I have a problem with mine where the headlights stay on as long as the truck is running daytime or not, and it’s the actual headlights not the running lights. Pressing the dome override 4 times doesn’t even turn them off. Any ideas on what could be the problem? I’m stumped and I was hoping you could help. Thanks
I don't think the early trucks had the headlight override feature. My guess would be the automatic headlight sensor is broken and thinking it's dark all the time. The little ball thing in the dash.
mossman381 thanks. I was just doing research and I found a video of a guy with the exact same problem and the light sensor replacement fixed it, so I’m gonna give it a try.
Hey Mossman, I was just wondering if you think that the grille out of a 2500 would fit into my 1500, i like the mesh look of the 2500 grille, but can't find any answers and don't want to spend money on something I can't use. Thanks
Babbford I don't even know the brand of the little gun I use most of the time. I have a Devilbiss HVLP gun that I don't use much only because I do mostly small jobs.
I've bought headlights for my 2000 Silverado 1500 on eBay that look exactly like that and they didn't fit right, so my question is do you buy the cheaper ones u can find or do u go in between so you get more quality? Thanks for the videos very helpful.
Nice man! Congrats on 700 been here for almost all of them!
Babbford I can't believe I have that many videos.
Thanks mossman for sharing your knowledge Keep u the good work
Looks great from Indiana!
Good job!

Hey was hoping you could make a door handle install video. Need to replace the chrome handle on my truck. Thanks.
Troi Pierce Are you talking about the whole handle or just the chrome grip? I have videos on the whole handle install.
Where did you buy the paintable grill from? Does it fit as good as OEM?
It was just a cheap grille like this one: amzn.to/3xHefAh The aftermarket grilles seem to fit ok, but I would not expect OEM quality.

Door handles on this generation are pretty easy to replace. Thief might have bent the lock rod during the break in or caused another problem.

It will fit.. You will have to change the top insert on your bumper and a few other modifications..
where did u get your smoked headlights and have you had any moisture problems?
+Colten Nettles I got those a long time ago for my dually. I got them off ebay and have had no problems with them.
Was the grill all chrome or chrome in the middle with black plastic around it ?
I believe I bought an all black grille then painted it.
Should paint ur bumper to
wutff I will eventually get painted bumpers front and back.
What paint gun do you use?
Babbford I don't even know the brand of the little gun I use most of the time. I have a Devilbiss HVLP gun that I don't use much only because I do mostly small jobs.
Moss is just like me everything black no chrome my truck is all black nothing chrome
N00I3 SiAI30T My dually is completely blacked out. This truck will have a small amount of chrome.

+Blake Brady I buy the cheap ones. All aftermarket lights don't fit like factory. I run them for a few years and then get new ones.
+mossman381 thanks good to know appreciate it
How many 99-04 Chevys you got? Lol
