    Steering wheel change

    Looking at a steering wheel from a 2014 avalanche. It has the cruise and radio controls. My truck Being a service unit, all it has is the cruise. What does it take to get the radio controls to work? Do I need a harness from the column to the radio?

    Heater Hose "T"

    The black one snapped clean off today on my son. Weird thing is it also has a compression fitting on the hose that goes down to the water pump. All suggest the GM one, I see the part #’s here. Gather the white one is around the corner to fail as well. They are a pain in the butt to...

    PCV Valve 2008 xl 5.3 is it pressed in or how to remove?

    Thank you! I’ll look into this more for my 2014 Tahoe. My other thought is to remove the AFM entirely. Going thru removing the AFM on my 14 Caprice now.

    PCV Valve 2008 xl 5.3 is it pressed in or how to remove?

    Ok nearly a year after the OP but, I’m consuming oil, not seeing out the tailpipe and I have no leaks. Not in the coolant either. I’m being told it’s the PCV. I can’t find a valve online anywhere, just replacement lines 4 to be exact from Rock Auto. Also how do I know which “updated”...

    Thump clunk rear end

    Hmmmm I’ll check into that, worth the few minutes to check. To me it seems as if it’s in the rear of the truck, but can see how the feel and noise transfer backwards from a stop.

    Thump clunk rear end

    Hey all, My Tahoe has developed a thunk clunk when you give it the go juice from a stop. It’s definitely feeling like it is in the rear or the truck. Checked the control arms, shocks, and driveshaft, not seeing anything out of the ordinary. It has had a rattle sound from the back since I...

    Remote start and preset settings

    My truck has the manual climate control, it’s a flipping retired police vehicle! LOL I set the manual controls to hot, full red, and to defrost the windshield. It did work better than it used to. I think I’ll also need to check the HVAC as the fan speed seems to be a little lacking in that...

    Front hitch mount

    The skid plate is the reason why a lot of sites say it’s not compatible with the z71’s. However some of the hitches do not even come near the skid plate. Curt hitches is one of them. My ? is. The approach angle with the hitch protruding out past the bumper I’m told it limits the approach...
