Member of groups specific to my rides, I am known to contribute photos, custom wiring diagrams and electrical knowledge, and positive help. Perusing the forums, there is a lot of collective wisdom here.
Recently scored a clean one-owner '03 GMLS with 37K on the clock for 6,400 bucks. Building trunk to hold tools, compressor, house battery, and a couple of inverters for my work. Lots of custom wiring and lightweight wood/carpet fabrication going on back there. Added a class III hitch, just finished an all-relay lighting isolator for the trailer lighting, while adding an extra relay for high-Watt backup lights. A 110 Amp marine circuit breaker at the vehicle battery feeds a 1 gauge wire to the boot, then feeds a battery switch powering a 12 circuit fused power box. Work requires using the whale for trade shows and the like, carrying many tools and chargers, lights and other powered gear.
Presently studying air lift bags that fit inside the rear coil springs, to level the ride height when I add tongue weight + tools. Thankfully this LS has coil/shock suspension, so the Air Master kit looks okay. No doubt this has been covered in the forums, so I have reading to do. A small 110 Volt AC air compressor is already mounted and powered in the trunk, and in time will add dash-mounted air pressure/level control built with MAC valves.
The forums will also be scanned for high output alternator options, and if dual exhausts are worth doing (for now, I like the idea of bolting on Walker dual parts, using the police car rear pipes with no resonators). Keeping the fuel economy up is the goal, so any mod that raises performance at the cost of mileage, will likely not be on this car. I need it for working, and I drive a lot... plus I own something fast to fill my need for speed.
Thanks for the membership,
