    Mounting ideas for 7 pin trailer harness

    I need to mount a 7 pin trailer wiring harness on my '99 hoe with the factory trailer package. The stock hitch does not have any sort of mounting plate for the harness. Just wondering if anyone has come up with a good looking spot to mount the plate for the harness? Any ideas would be...

    Door Weatherstripping

    For those who have replaced your door weatherstripping, I have a question. Was it necessary to remove all the interior trim around the door in order to do it, or can it be done with the trim in place? And if you did have to remove the trim, is it just held in place with clips? I can't find...

    1999 Tahoe Rear A/C High Pressure Line Diameter

    So I tried recharging my A/C today with some cans of 134a. I got the pressure up in the Green with the Compressor cycling on and off, and nice cool air coming out of both front and rear vents. Great! Turn the truck off and I hear "hissssssssss". I think Uh Oh. Crawl under the truck and the...

    DRL/Low Beams Intermittent

    I have an issue with my DRL/Low beams. I noticed that sometimes the DRL are not on, and when switching my headlights on (using the switch), the running lights come on but no low beams (low beam and DRL use the same bulb). I can turn my high beams on with no problem. The problem seems...

    Fixed my drivers side heated seat!

    My drivers seat heater quit about 4 years ago. I researched what the problem could be, and most cases it was the heating element in the seat cushion, and to replace it was big $$$. Well, yesterday decided to take a peek. Took the seat out of the truck, removed the bottom track, etc, and...

    Wolfgang twins vs Meguiar's M105/205

    I have a 1999 Tahoe that needs some detailing. After scouring the forums, I have decided to buy a PC 7424XP. Now, I'm not sure what would be a better choice in compounds/polish, the Wolfgang "twins" (Total Swirl Remover 3.0/Finishing Glaze 3.0) or the Megiuar's M105/M205 combo. The truck...

    Strange Signal/Electrical Problem

    I have something going on in my 99 Tahoe that is very strange. Recently, when putting the turn signal on after driving for a bit (say 5 mins or so), the voltmeter will drop to 8 volts (from 14), then quickly raise back to 14 volts. It doesn't matter what signal (left or right), and it doesn't...

    Debadged - Paint issue?

    So after getting new wheels & tires last week, I decided to debadge the 'hoe. I removed the fender trim, used a hair dryer and fishing line trick and removed the side strips. Then used an eraser wheel to remove the last of the tape residue (worked awesome). After waxing, I noticed a wierd...

    Painting fender trim?

    So I decided today to take the debadging plunge on the 'hoe. I removed the driver's side chrome/stainless fender trim, and found underneath that it had worn through to the primer in a couple places. My question is, has anyone ever painted their fender trim? I was looking at the "Shadow" black...

    Rear Door Window Motor

    My drivers side rear door window motor is shot. I took the door panel off today, and tested the switch at the motor. Motor is getting power from the switch, and I can hear a faint "click", but nothing happens. Has anyone replaced just the window motor on the rear door, and if so, do you have...

    Instrument Light Sockets?

    So this past weekend I pulled my dash apart to change the lights to LED's and to fix the lights in the radio and in some of the switches. Some of the dash lights were so "stuck" in the plastic holders that I ended up in destroying two of the plastic lamp sockets. No problem, I thought, I have...

    Tire Sizes and Rim Offsets

    I am looking at upgrading the stock wheels on my 99 Tahoe. Currently I am running 265/75/16 on the stock rims, which I believe are a 35mm offset? The rims I am looking at are 18" diameter, 8.5" wide. They come in two different offsets, 10mm and 20mm. If I were to get the 20mm offset rim...

    Brake Fluid Flush

    I'm changing out my lines to SS and want to do a complete brake fluid flush. My questions are: 1. Which kind of brake fluid? DOT3 or DOT4? I know DOT3 is factory, but I've heard that DOT4 is a better overall fluid. I've also heard that it can cause issues with our ABS sensors? 2...
