    Cargo net mounting hooks

    I went to the local car scrap yard and got a couple cargo knobs from an Astro as I recall for my 2008. I suspect most any similar GM vehicle will work (Yukon, Tahoe, Suburban, etc). If you want o make sure, get a nut that matches the thread inside the vehicle and test the knob before you leave...

    OBD Scanning - Realtime Hybrid Info

    Clink, clink, clink ... are you still there? I know this is an old post but.... I was so excited to see these since I could add functionality that the Tahoe Hybrid std. hybrid display is lacking. I created the custom PID's as indicated and they all show "-" in Torque free version (downloaded...

    When the 12Vdc battery dies...

    Yes .. that is a habit of mine. I write about a variety of voltages in dc and ac. For example - 24V when used in the automotive/aviation world is dc and in residential and commercial HVAC it is ac. - 300V to us may imply the dc traction batteries but if you heard that mentioned by an...

    When the 12Vdc battery dies...

    They were 2 12Vdc batteries in parallel, not series so it delivered 12VDC with lots of amp capacity. He was a professional towing service and new my battery was 12Vdc. So the discussion was around applying a 12Vdc jump not a 24Vdc jump. But your point is well taken...24Vdc into a 12Vdc system...

    When the 12Vdc battery dies...

    I talked with a mechanic at the dealer and his thought was that the truck would have started had the battery been disconnected and the jumpers connected directly to positive and negative vehicle points. But we didn't discuss what would happen after the jump. What would happen if the battery...

    When the 12Vdc battery dies...

    I just wanted to post should others experience the same. I drove 30+miles into town, and moved the truck a short distance a couple times. I was parked outside an apartment and as such, I put the 4-way flashers on. Nothing unusual. When I went to leave, the truck was almost TOTALLY DEAD. DIC...

    Can you change default screen from Map to Hybrid display?

    I hate the GPS/map option on the '08 Tahoe. In some cases I can drive for miles from home and the GPS shows me driving through the lake. Besides, 99% of the time, I know where I'm at and going so the map display is useless. Is there a way to set the display to show the Hybrid screen by...

    Anyone have the GM cargo net installed?

    The net stays on really well (perfect) for at least three reasons: 1) The GM part has four "bites" out of the part, each 90 degrees apart. The cord catches on the bites if it slips too far. You can see two bites in the picture. 2) The part has some texture so the cord does not slip 3)...

    How far on electric only after a stop?

    The real joke is the price of diesel compared to regular gas. All savings are eaten by difference in fuel costs. Update: Best gas mileage so far is 25.4mpg ... and loving it!

    Lost GPS capability after update

    After driving for a while, the no GPS symbol goes off. It is as if the system is "learning". It will be interesting to see if it eventually goes away all the time. I'm underwhelmed with the Nav especially given the update and the initial unit prices.

    Lost GPS capability after update

    I just updated to GM# 23128606 Nav software which is the number indicated as the latest for my vehicle. It went from 3.1 which was functional to 8.0 which no longer has GPS capability. The map displays but the GPS does not operate and there is a red slash through a "GPS" icon. Needless to say...

    A short video or animated gif would also be fun... but a lot harder to do.

    update factory GPS

    I just updated to the disc recommended by GM and now the GPS doesn't work :Frustrated: I went from 3.1 to 8.0 which supposedly is the latest. You cannot backtrack to 3.1 by reinstalling the old disc. I have a question into Navigation.com ... we'll see if they reply. They take a long time to...

    It would be interesting if you could make custom images to project.

    How far on electric only after a stop?

    Seems to be able to drive longer on battery the more I drive the truck. SOC may be the reason. Too bad they don't display SOC in the DIC info.

    Anyone have the GM cargo net installed?

    Resurrecting an old thread so that future readers can see an answer. The part you want is available on a lot of GM vehicles in the junk yards. It can be found in many SUV's, Astro's and potentially other cars. When I went to the junk yard, I could have brought home multiples. I just went...

    Suggested mods, improvements, changes

    I'll start out with a suggestion ... adding a cargo net. I had a cargo net from a 2002 Astro (I loved the Astro! Best snow vehicle I ever drove. In the winter I put on snows for great traction). I went to the junk yard until I found the tie-downs for the net to attach. I found them in...

    How far on electric only after a stop?

    Thanks for the reply. I think I'll give it a try at the local parking lot. Seems the key is keeping the speed down (under 10? Under 15?) so that the gas engine doesn't kick in. I have some warranty left so if there was an issue I wanted to know before it expires. I seem to be getting...

    How far on electric only after a stop?

    How far are you driving on electric only after a stop? I realize that there are a lot of factors involved such as how heavy the foot. But ... I've read that some can drive miles and I only go 10 or 20 feet before the gas engine kicks in and that is a BIG difference. Looking forward to...
