True. Lets call them work lights then :) Anyway, in forest they are great.

Wired new LEDs - i am happy, not aimed right but still pretty impressive. They are 2in1 - fogs and HI. fogs on: HI on: Happy New Year! Great site, tons of knowlege, thank you all!

Markings are: 2 40 96 (5?) 47 as far as my bad eye reads. And board number is PED 12034592. Dont worry, you are in final strech, soon you will drive and smile.

here is mine, from my 1008:

Thanks guys! Try to test tomorrow if not snowing too mutch. Click is crisp but yes, it is old switch... Edit: sure, it is faulty hi/lo switch on steering column. Jumper wire did job, now is time to new switch. When waiting switch arrival, i bought pair of 50W led lights - they are hi beam but...

Today my 1009 started acting weird - sometimes i can switch to LO headlights, sometimes only HI lights are working. (i.e. HIgh on and OK, LOW not) What do you think - headlight swich on steering column? Too cold outside to do thorough inspection. And i need to drive tomorrow in dark time - is...

Power steering fluid (basically hydraulic oil) is different from ATF. Not same foaming and additives. As far as i know GM always used power steering fluid, not ATF. You can feel difference rubbing both between fingers. One is silky, smooth, ATF is "grainy" (if my english is correct).

Made trip thru forest, that neighbour little elves and my short-legged wienerdog can take walks. We have some 25 cm of snow. And quick trip to local shop for few porters :) (MTs are bad on icy tarmac). Merry Christmas!

Thicker cables are must, and those originals are very old anyways. I dont complain 12V starter on my 1009, 1008 is same if not even slightly quicker...

I had it saved in computer:

Nice weather you have there. Here is slightly colder :D

Well, in our winters we get -25, rarely -35 and this is C, not F ;) I have pushbutton GP, never used afterglow, just let truck idle more on those cold mornings (block heater is big help too). Sure, original card would be nice but my wire loom is very neatly cut and isolated, i dont have card...

heh, on my 1008 i first checked this on glove box. Just after week or two realised that army replaced for some reason glove box door. Real VIN was different, probably options (hehe, options) too...

well, not good for us then (i´m not too great in electronics).

look section "Bijlagen" I dont know, what this means but there is Data sheet :)

hmm - changing battery should not change drain amperage?
