I know about this "problems" with rear hatch glass, but impossibile to find 2006 redesigned glass here, also only Escalade were sold here(different 3rd brake light..).


Anybody know this company, they tell will ship internationally, and the only I was able to found with 2006 redesign glass.

Shipping that glass anywhere, especially overseas, will be risky. The hatches are delicate and can break easily in transit so keep that in mind if you’re going to order that hatch and have it shipped.

You can use an Escalade hatch as @Tonyrodz suggested^ I have a hatch and third brake light off a 2005 Escalade on my 2006 Yukon Denali with the Escalade third brake light. I did it because it ties in with the Escalade roof rack and pillar cover swap that I did to my truck. It’s a direct swap as the Escalade and Tahoe/Yukon hatch mounts to the tailgate the exact same way. Like stated the Escalade third brake light is different but it will work if you find one local to you. That might be a better option to have a Yukon hatch shipped anywhere and the risk of it getting damaged during transit to you.

Emptied the whole ounce of oil out of my catchcan, checked the engine oil level and drove to the Taco Time for dinner, utilizing boost a few times just to make sure the Whipple is still working. Check, check and check. :p

Never heard of them but if they have a good BBB rating you should be fine ordering from them. Even items like glass can, and are, shipped all over the world, as long as they're packed correctly. Companies like that wouldn't be in business for long if the glass arrived messed up. I had a dash shipped to me from a dealer that was in a box custom made for that huge fragile piece. I think it could have been dropped off a rooftop and still be ok. I checked out of curiosity on that glass and they wanted to charge me $189 to the West coast of the US so I'm wondering what they would charge you- did you get that far in the process?

Asked about shipping yesterday but still no reply.

Anyway I found 300km from my location an updated glass from 2005 tahoe, so I hope it survive trip in my small “winter wagen”(BMW E36 compact )

Bought a replacement antenna and decided to go with this as the stud is broken off.

Thanks for posting this. Mine has been broken over a year. I stream music on spotify so it's no big deal. This may motivate me to fix it but I would prefer to extract the broken stud
I don't think the stud is screwed in on the original, looks like all one piece to me. You can buy a new base but it comes with the cable to route into the dash. I have read about some who pull the cable out the old base and the new base, I have also read where the cable comes out with the connector is still stuck in the base. I figured for $18 I'd try this out first.

???? I doubt that is true about the original antena not being stud mounted to the base. I'm hoping folks will chime in.

Took my 2005 2500 Suburban to a mechanic on Monday. Trying to figure out why half my cluster has no power, the power mirrors/windows/door locks do not work, the lights on the dash don't work, and Quadrasteer doesn't work. Also, when plugging into the OBDII port, they get no signal. My regular mechanic started at the door switches which tested out good, but just couldn't figure it out (he is normally very good; he also didn't charge me for failure!). The new mechanic was recommended by a friend, and he only had a 10 day wait to get in; my mechanic's normal electrical guy had an 8 week wait. This is my wife's car and she is getting aggravated...

Anyway, if any of you have ever had an issue where the OBDII port wasn't working, feel free to share.

OBD port is fused on cigarette lighter fuse.

Aftermarket. It's the same stereo it has had since I bought it in 2017. I haven't checked to see if it works or not, but it does display the time; the wrong time, due to all the dead battery situations...

Done and Done. Both the fuel compensator and evap cannister have been R&R. Wow that cannister was a major PITA. Sorry no pictures because my phone died. Glad to have both jobs completed.
I was cleaning out the garage this morning, getting ready to head to the dump. I had some old car parts in a pile off to the side. One of them was the evap canister. Picked it up and it reminded me how heavy it was compared to the new one I installed. Fuel contaminated? Glad I got it changed before it failed.

I'd pull the radio and CHMS fuses. I've found the CHMS can interfere with the ODBII port. Prolly not it since yours doesn't work at all but easy to try.

First of all Merry and peaceful Christmas for everyone here.


I am a little confused, why Chevrolet did not sell Tahoes in Dubai with tinted(privacy) glass.
But, I am happy to have an new rear window, and also with "somehow updated" design from 2005 model year :)

Also I bought from him facelift tail lights(with black trim), but turn signal socket does not fit, but according to rockauto catalogue, the socket is the same for all model years ("00-"06).

Two new front Denso Oxygen sensors
ACD 41-110 plugs with new Wires
I'm also trying to mount the Amazon oil catch can I bought over a year ago but looks like a trip to hardware store will be needed. Last week my CEL came in for the front O2s so I did both of them for good measure. I had the plugs sitting in tool box over 9 months also so I figure it was time. Boy that passenger rear plug is a jerk!! I removed the oil dip stick for more clearance and she came out easy.
