What did you do to your 2015-2020 K2XX Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[tsuintx]

mine already has heat it does not have a option for cooled so I am hoping it will just plug n play, I asked a online dismantler and he said it should just plug in but may not have the pins for power, I have dealt with Phil before for my mirrors. I may hit him up and see what he knows. thanks

Pretty sure this is what you need.

If you’re handy, guess you could do it yourself, too.

Did the console retrofit already with Phil’s harness a couple months ago. Still considering going cloth to leather plus passenger power at some point. I’ll gladly fork out the 50 bucks to him to make it p-n-p for my lazy ass.

Where did you get the rst trim from and did you do the instal? I’m noticing the GM sites all have ludacris shipping prices again. Also, did you have power steps factory?

I've been sitting on the OEM Suburban RST Black window trim for a little while. I purchased everything back in May of 2019 and used all the exact same part numbers as I posted in this thread here (Post #41): RST Black Trim | Page 5 | Chevy Tahoe Forum | GMC Yukon Forum | Tahoe Z71 | Cadillac Escalade - Tahoe Yukon Forum

But it does seem that some of those part numbers are not available or "NOT FOR SALE", which is odd?

My '15 Denali XL has power steps from the factory.

Noticed that with RST grilles as well, It appears they updated some of the numbers. I was set on wrapping mine black but think I’m going to pull the trigger on replacement for longevity.

 

[CMoore711]

That’s exactly why I went with replacement; Living in the Midwest with winter I knew they’d see some abuse and didn’t want to mess with re-upping on the vinyl wrap.

Usually when a part number changes or is updated/replaced the typical GM part sites supply that info. It’s weird to see them listed as “NOT FOR SALE”.

 

[STORMIN08]

i would research the updated number....usually on a factory painted part, the update becomes PAINTABLE, rather than painted.

 

[sd172]

understood, i am uncertain of the appearance in the day light more than anything....i prefer a natural looking appearance, rather than the exposed LED.

I'm not sure how much these pictures will help. You can only see the internal LEDs during daytime when you perfectly level your eyes with the fog light.

 

[STORMIN08]

that is perfect, just want a visual to confirm they didnt look out of place in comparison to the heads.

for reference, my 2011 Hoe received a denali tail swap because the those tails more resembled the headlights

Some night pictures for the color reference. The Morimoto fogs mostly help in widening the field of view and illuminating the sides.

I get my vehicle washed at a pressure wash. It never looked better

Rear splash guard, black rear bow tie, laminate-x fog tint...

way to much money on plastic lol

 

[Jason in DLH]

Washed my wife’s ‘15. A couple years ago I watched a guy use a leaf blower to dry his truck and thought “man...that’s a bit crazy.” I’m that guy now. And I do a final gentle pat dry. Haha!

Otherwise it’s a whole bunch of getting rid of those nasty swirl marks.

The center of the hood on the Escalade kept getting "cloudy". Earlier this year we wet sanded it gave it a good buff and got it looking much better. With time the "cloudy" look slowly started coming back.

Sooooo. Today we sanded the hood, and touched up ~ 4 chips that were on the hood. We prepared the hood and worked on the hood. No more "cloudy" look on the hood. Tomorrow or Tuesday we'll color sand and buff it for the final finish.

First pic captured that "cloudy" look that was in need of a resolution.


We also worked on the Duramax and the crew cab. Busy fun day today.

fyi, roof will start having same issue too

some threads here & on gm-trucks on topic

 

[Staggered 02]

^^^ Yeah, that is unfortunately the case. After wet sanding and buffing it will be 100% taken care of and on to the next order of business.

Color sanding and buffing completed tonight. Came out great. One more item off the "to do" list.

replaced condenser. U tube vid. says 1 hour, That's B.S

Well, not to happy about my condenser replacement. Seems that the transmission line from the radiator to the condenser was not not installed properly and popped out, causing all of my trans, fluid to be dumped on the highway. There is a small plastic cap that was not seated over the snap rings causing the retainer to expand letting the tube slip out. Learned somthing new today

it's more likely the snap clip was not installed properly, it may be possible it came off on it's own but pretty unlikely. that snap clip can be put on wrong and the pressure in the cooler lines is low and would stay in on it's own until just enough pressure pushed it out.

 

[Jeramia]

The snap ring was already installed on the new condenser that I bought from GM. I drove about 3 miles while the trans. fluid was being pumped out. Put new fluid in. Trans seems OK.

I think you are right. I might not have seated it all the way in when the clip was replaced.
