    Totaled 05 Denali

    And mine only had 92000 miles! It was in such good shape. Le sigh.

    Totaled 05 Denali

    Sorry about losing your ride. I had an 05 Tahoe that I lost after owning for less than one year, because someone plowed into it while parked on a city street. So, I feel your pain. I did less than you did, but I did sink a lot of money and time regardless that I won’t get back. Life goes...

    Welp - the khaki colossus is no more...

    Thanks guys - ended up getting a newer GMC sierra (2014). Happy with it, but I still miss the old 'hoe honestly since I did so much work on her.

    Bose System sound issues?

    I added an 50w rms 4 channel Kicker amp, got a powered sub and upgraded the headunit on my old tahoe before it got totaled. If i could do it over again I probably would have just kept stock and upgraded the headunit w/ carplay and the PAC kit to retain audio controls. I didn't feel there was a...

    Welp - the khaki colossus is no more...

    Yeah witnesses say she was travelling at normal speeds on the road and didn't brake prior hitting the back of it. She claimed to not know what happened, so I don't know if she was texting or passed out, or drunk or what. Thankfully she was ok other than some cuts to her face (it was a GMC Envoy...

    Welp - the khaki colossus is no more...

    Happier times: Well fellahs - I had her all set up nice and someone went and smashed into her while parked outside work on the street last week (thankfully I or the fam weren't in it). I feel like I had a ton of good times to be had - after putting a lot of money and my own sweat equity...

    Took the badges off.

    My dad had a 96 SS back in the day - loved that thing.

    Those Crager wheels on that Impala SS / Caprice look sweet.

    Spare tire troubles ?????

    Mine was stuck as well. I did as described here and got it down. I lubed it back up with grease before putting it back up, but my guess is that it will still be a PITA to take back down. Those that replaced them - where did you find em / how to install?

    STOCK LOCATION SUBWOOFER SET UPS

    I didn't have to cut the metal support for my sony DD XAV-AX5000, but it wasn't a full block double din - only the top half reached back into the well. I have an '05 with Bose, so I only have the 6.5 sub in the console. On mine, the amp is located in the same location and can be reached by...

    Front Bose Door Speaker Amp Location and Wiring Issue

    I don't know the answer to all your questions, but all the speakers are routed through the stock amp (in my case Bose in a 2005 Tahoe LT) which is under the center console. It seems odd that the cigarette lighter would be involved to me. Sounds like you maybe have a short somewhere since all...

    Advise on what double din stereo to buy.

    I got a Sony XAV-AX5000. I wanted a capacative touchscreen (like your phone) vs the older style that you had to push harder on and were less responsive. Used to be only on the super high dollar headunits, but this one is more reasonably priced. Use it for CarPlay, but it does Android Auto as...

    Lights on dash out after amp install... Help!

    So I installed my amp and sub in my 2005 Tahoe - all seems to be working ok, other than my 4 channel rca cable being too short to hide away well. Putting it beach together and my prndl/dic on the speedo are out (prindl) is real dim. Climate control (dual zone digital) comes on for a split...

    Minor Audio System Build

    Wow, I didn't think they could possibly be any worse than the stock Bose. :( Anybody else have any thoughts? I'll look for the loom under the steering wheel. CB

    Minor Audio System Build

    So, I previously upgraded to a Sony XAV-AX5000 with the full RP5-GM11 PAC kit to maintain the stock amp and speakers... planning to upgrade later on. Well, that didn't last long because now I've already started buying more stuff. I wanted to see if there was any advice about wiring and if my...

    Tonyrodz's Tahoe Build Thread

    How in the hell did you find one of those?! I have been looking around, apparently I dont' know the right people. I opted for a P300-12 Rockford powered sub. I'm just going to throw it in the back and it has quick release for the power so you can take it in and out easy (for the times I need...

    Newly Installed DD Head Unit - Getting Tons of Feedback

    I'm getting ready to embark on adding a new 4 ch amp to new door speakers (I already have an aftermarket headunit). I got a 9 wire spool suggested by Crutchfield (https://www.crutchfield.com/S-h28VXlOouSh/p_1429WC1812/EFX-9-Wire-Ultra-Flex-Speaker-Wire-12-feet.html) that allows you to run all...

    Screen flickers on backup camera.

    I ended up buying a different rearview camera (one of the license mounted jobs since I wasn't happy with where I mounted the other one) - kept same wiring and lo and behold it works fine. Dunno if the power required for the older camera was higher, but hey - whatevs. It works now! :party36:

    3rd Brake light

    Funny, I just found out mine's out too. I ordered the Dorman one on Amazon and chipped in the extra $3.70 or whatever for the square trade 4 year warranty if it happens to fail again. ::shrug::

    Like ground to a different wire or just ground to the frame or body? I’m an electrical noob. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Screen flickers on backup camera.

    Hey all, Tried installing my rear view camera today and I get a flicker when the car is running and in reverse, but not when in reverse and just powered on. Installed by tapping into the rear reverse lights with positaps, red to the green reverse light and ground to the black from the reverse...
