    How did you get your screen name?

    My first name is Mike, I'm 1/2 ape, 1/2 man. Sometimes it's a blessing, sometimes it's a curse, and YES, I am going to go see Caesar kick ass in Rise of The Planet of The Apes.

    Cluster Replaced...now truck's got gremlins!

    Well, picked up the truck tonight. Dealer drove for 12 miles on the highway, couldn't replicate anything. They scanned everything from soup to nuts and found no codes, and I did tell them that I had disco'd the battery, and that might have caused codes to clear. The dealership did acknowledge...

    Cluster Replaced...now truck's got gremlins!

    Not really an update, since the vehicle didn't go to the dealer yet, but during a quick run for milk this morning the passenger a/c vents are blowing ice cold. This is after the truck sat all day yesterday. Now I am really starting to believe this is either all related to the cluster, or...

    Cluster Replaced...now truck's got gremlins!

    Will do. Keep your fingers crossed for me. I don't mind dropping the truck again. I know that not everything can be foreseen, or prevented. If this is simply a case of a bad part, I won't fault the dealership for that. (I think that line even came out of my mouth when I made the...

    Cluster Replaced...now truck's got gremlins!

    You're right, I shouldn't be calling them a stealership in this instance, since no dollars have left my pocket. I'll put my past experience having work done at dealerships aside for the time being. I did let them know that I am having these issues before posting here. The appointment was...

    Cluster Replaced...now truck's got gremlins!

    It's not under warranty, I should have been more specific there. The cluster was replaced under the Special Coverage / Class Action Suit thing for the stepper motors. This is why I'm asking if the cluster could be causing other issues. If they replaced the cluster, and that's causing issues...

    Cluster Replaced...now truck's got gremlins!

    Okay did that last night before a ride. I guess I didn't think of it before because I would have thought it'd be SOP for the stealership to have disconnected the battery before doing any work. The cluster seems to be fine after doing that....but now I've got only hot air blowing out the...

    Cluster Replaced...now truck's got gremlins!

    Thought about that not long after I posted. I'll give that a shot tonight and see if that does anything.

    Cluster Replaced...now truck's got gremlins!

    Had my cluster replaced in my 2005 Tahoe last week under warranty because the speedo gave up the ghost. Gotta say that the dealership was actually pretty good about doing the replacement, no charge out the door. A week later, I go to start the truck and it won't turn over at all. I figured...

    anyone have these?

    I have to admit, I kind of like these. I'm just curious how the cutoff on them is, as I'm pretty happy with the cutoff on my Depo's...but part of me misses the CCFL halo's (had them on my Jeep).

    Anyone use these halo projectors?

    IMO, if you're going to go with Halo's, replace the LED halo's with CCFL's. Much brighter, longer lasting.

    Headlight help

    I have that gap too (stock grille, Depo lights) and it bothers the hell out of me. I was out there the other day looking at it and the only idea I came up with was maybe doing Audi-type DRL's on the bottom of the lights. I found a few sites that sold LED strips, figured I could wire them into...

    Who's got the Viper Smart Start?

    To be clear, jailbreaking and unlocking are two entirely different things. Jailbreaking will allow 3rd party apps, that's all. Unlocking is what would allow you to go to another carrier. The FCC Ruling was about jailbreaking specifically. It did not change the "legality" of unlocking a...

    Dual Battery, Under the hood... For OFFROAD

    Didn't the 2nd battery go back by the passenger side firewall? I know some guys have relocated their jacks there, but it looks to me like a battery would fit.

    just bought an 05 tahoe!! Steering wheel lights out PLEASE HELP!!

    You don't have to take the wheel off, and you don't need a hook tool. It'd help, I'm sure, but I replaced one of mine in a Target parking lot with nothing more than a small pocket knife and a piece of napkin. I was waiting for Target to open, had the switch, figured why not go for it. If you...

    Who's got the Viper Smart Start?

    Hopefully this screen shot of my desktop works, keep in mind I run dual monitors. iTunes on left, Explorer on right. If I take a song or folder from the right and drag it to iTunes, music moves to the iPod. Savvy?

    HID Opinion

    The 55w washes out some of the color, hence why the 55w 8k looks similar to a 35w 6k.

    Looking For Aftermarket Fog Light - Possibly Projector

    IMHO, projector fog lights aren't gonna be any good, and this is speaking from experience. I replaced the factory fogs on my Grand Cherokee with projectors off eBay. The fog lights sit so low that the projector cut off makes them useless...unless you're trying to see what's right on the ground...

    Sounds like fan hitting shroud when starting yukon

    Not gonna lie to you guys, I appear to have gotten rid of my slap just by switching to Pennzoil Ultra last oil change. I was shocked, but sure enough it went away within a few trips. Luckily I don't drive a whole lot, so I don't worry about the extra few bucks a jug, but if the slap stays away...

    2005 'hoe - Rattle ONLY at 1300RPM's and ONLY in gear

    Sure enough, just crawled under the truck and the heat shield on the muffler is cracked at the back left corner. Bent it away for now and seems to have done it, but I'm just gonna have to get a new exhaust now cause...ya know...bending metal is just a band aid. ;)

    2005 'hoe - Rattle ONLY at 1300RPM's and ONLY in gear

    When I was outside the truck, it sure sounded like it was coming from inside the muffler, but there was no visible damage (i.e. cracks, rust, holes). But the baffles are internal, right? I guess if one did come loose I wouldn't be able to see it. I'll check the heat shields again tonight...

    2005 'hoe - Rattle ONLY at 1300RPM's and ONLY in gear

    I've searched and searched, no clue what this might be. It's a 2005 Tahoe, bone stock except a drop in AFE Filter and Airraid Jr. Kit. 5.3L engine, AWD, just flipped 60k miles. Over the last two weeks, I have noticed a rattle that sounds almost like a loose heat shield coming from under the...

    Illuminated cup holders Tahoe (How-to)

    In order for LED's to truly dim, you need a PWM circuit, and that sure ain't part of this deal. EDIT: Looking at that video, I stand corrected...I think...cause they sure look like they are dimming. As mentioned later, they aren't giving off a whole lot of light. Install them first. If too...

    Illuminated cup holders Tahoe (How-to)

    For the top one? Definately. The bottom one might be a little tricky because of the angle. It's just easier to know going in that you have to paint the tips.
