    HID retrofit w/TSX projectors: walkthrough w/pictures

    These are the 9005 LED's I got. They are out of stock now, but I would imagine any similar spec'd LED would perform about the same. In my reflector bowl high beams, these things are insanely bright. I have the 6-high mod with HID's in the fogs, too, so I have a ton of light when I switch on the...

    Tahoe/Yukon Headlight Information Thread

    Soulsea...been awhile since I've been around. Life has a funny way of distracting you from things that don't matter as much...lol. This is a great write-up. I'm still rockin' the same retro. My Depo lenses need to be polished, but that's about the only complaint.

    Best wiper blades

    I do a lot of bad-weather highway driving and have tried them all. I was a Bosch fan but still had problems getting a clean wipe at highway speeds. I got Trico Force wipers last fall and these are hands-down the cleanest wiping blades at higher speeds that I've found yet. Sent from my SM-G975U...

    HID retrofit w/TSX projectors: walkthrough w/pictures

    You can use 35w, which is the standard OEM wattage for HIDs. I wouldn't go higher than 55w personally. The higher the wattage, the hotter they get and I have melted a couple of lenses with 55 watts. Also greatly reduces bulb life as you step up wattage. Your current bulbs should work fine with...

    HID retrofit w/TSX projectors: walkthrough w/pictures

    Yes, ballasts are universal. You may or may not have to get a connector adapter for the bulb depending on what you do, but that's easy and cheap.

    HID retrofit w/TSX projectors: walkthrough w/pictures

    I'll see if I can dig them up. If you go with a true HID retrofit like mine, you'll be using D2S HID bulbs, not a standard bulb converted to HID. As for reliable ballasts, I only use Morimoto from the retrofit source. Never had an issue, but they are more expensive up front.

    HID retrofit w/TSX projectors: walkthrough w/pictures

    Sorry the pics aren't working anymore. My Photobucket got hacked a while back. It's still a solid retrofit, mine is still running strong with excellent light, but as mentioned, there are now easier ways to get it done. FWIW, I got some high quality, high-output LED bulbs for the high beams...

    My oil pressure gauge is pegged...is that bad?

    I'm not sure. When I have a question I take it in for an estimate. Most places don't charge for an estimate and tell you what they think is wrong.

    My oil pressure gauge is pegged...is that bad?

    Yeah, I've also gone through two fuel pumps in 5 years. Stupid design, requires a ton of work to replace, so even though the part is under warranty it still costs a few hundred in labor for the fuel pump replacement. [emoji35]

    My oil pressure gauge is pegged...is that bad?

    Mine quit pegging, and now it jumps all over the place. Zero to all over. The stupid low pressure alarm goes off all the time and is super annoying. Mechanic said it's the sending unit (again) but haven't had time or money to fix it yet.

    2003 Denali Cabin Air Filter?

    Fairbanks, Alaska. Warm summer, cold ass winters... Lol

    2003 Denali Cabin Air Filter?

    Thanks, man! Yeah, I kinda disappeared for a while. New job, had to move, life's been crazy!

    2003 Denali Cabin Air Filter?

    Yeah, I took it apart and looked. It's just solid plastic where the little swing down tabbed latch thing would be. How the heck are you supposed to clean up/out the HVAC? What a dumb design. IMO

    2003 Denali Cabin Air Filter?

    Does it have one? All the auto parts stores list one (which you need two of), but when I took the kick panel off to access it there didn't seem to be anything there to replace. Further research suggests GM did away with replaceable filters, but I can't figure out how to tell when exactly they...

    Cooper Zeon LTZ A/T tires

    Honestly didn't notice any difference in mileage from the old tires. I'm now on my second set. I put about 30,000 miles on the first ones, lost some bearings and didn't notice it until it had worn the tread really unevenly. Not the tire's fault, but they weren't safe to drive. Got a whole new...

    No power to driver's seat, stuck in one spot

    My driver's seat lost all power. It does nothing, and is frozen in an uncomfortable position (my wife's settings). I can't for the life of me figure this out. I've checked pretty much everything I've been able to dig up on the net and still have no ideas. Doesn't appear to be a fuse, or if it is...

    Driver seat is weird but why!?!?!?

    Dealer has to reprogram the seat control module or some such thing. Old problem TSB'd in like 2005.

    Dual Projectors & SMD Halos (Concept still)

    Looks good. I've heard from several people that quads really aren't worth the effort from an output standpoint, but they do look cool!

    Coolant leak...what to do

    Thanks! Yeah, it's been a dismal year for money, so this is huge news!

    My Retro'd Eyes

    You'll definitely like the output. I love mine...they are still one of the best throwing set of lights I've seen on a truck. 50w ballasts with CBI bulbs FTW.......

    Tire question

    They are about an inch taller and wider than the current ones. I'm not sure how much room you currently have, but that should give you an idea of the size difference.

    Coolant leak...what to do

    Well, it was the water pump leaking. Good call there, guys. That is an enormous water pump, BTW. But there was more (of course). The fan clutch or clutch fan or whatever it is was wobbling all around. Somehow that got stripped or something, so had to replace that, too. Got reman water pump...

    Coolant leak...what to do

    That sounds like the right spot, Chris. So I need a whole new water pump, I can't just get a gasket or something? soooooooo broke right now....lol

    Coolant leak...what to do

    Tracked it down a little further. It's coming from right behind the fan in the center between it and the engine. Can't see exact spot without taking off air intake. It is now leaking at a pretty good clip. Gonna have to fix it one way or another soon. Sent by my communicator

    Coolant leak...what to do

    I don't think it's the reservoir itself, but could be a cracked hose near it. It is definitely forward of the reservoir, though.
