Long story short: Hooked the electronics up to a gm code reader and found out that while my engine is 2006, all electronics are 2004. i guess the guy i bought the setup from did this so i could utilize the steel petal.

So once i found the year discrepancy out, i was able to diagnose the problem more specifically.

The crazy part is that one day after a good long charge and a trouble code clearing, all problems went away and everything started working perfectly

2004 Chevy Silverado, but i modified the frame by cutting off the back about 2.5" off the sliding track in order to make them go back farther in the truck. im 6'4" and they are perfect w/o a tilt column... yet

I like the wheels too - bought the same set a couple weeks ago ...while reading through your thread I thought "Wait a minute...he's got the same wheels I do!" Great minds thing alike

Anyways, hope to see you around the east bay sometime.

The company is MAAS BROTHERS POWDER COATING. They do excellent work.

I just saw your build thread the other day and when i saw the wheels i had to double take- the same wheels, on the same truck, from the same model year, being built at the same time, probably 10 miles away from eachother? Trying to show when Pleasanton rolls around or what?

Cool, I'll have to check them out and get a quote. Not sure when the Pleasanton Good Guys is but I will be shooting for a 2011 completion date.

Do you have any pictures as to how you mounted the rear seats? Did you use the stock brackets?
