Re: how to hook up stereo

Are you trying to figure out the colors on your truck's wiring harness, or what color on your truck connects to what color on your deck?

I can tell you if it is anything like my 87 S10, you're in for a real treat as I think I have one of the most difficult wire jobs in the world (I can tell you it's not stock, and if it is, someone butchered it!) I'm actually going to be putting a Pioneer DEH-2800MP deck in my truck this weekend, so I might be able to help you out a little more then, but if you just need to know what the yellow and red wires are, red is your power wire, yellow is your constant that connects to the battery to maintain your deck settings (i.e. audio settings, programmed stations, etc...).

I would start by following any wires that come off the battery, and see if anything matches inside the cab.

At this point, that's about all I can help you with...

Re: how to hook up stereo

87 and 91 wiring harnesses are different, I found this out when i put my head unit in my 87. If you can post up a pic of the wires I might be able to help you.
