    Cluster Acting Strange in Cold

    Yesterday morning my gauge cluster went funny. All my gauges were reading way too high and didn't reset when I keyed off. See attached pic. This is with the truck idling with the transmission in park. I had to disconnect the battery for a second to rezero them. Then they were fine. 09...

    happiness is.... NEW factory carpet!

    Got my new carpet from the dealer today (got for about what aftermarket was going to cost). It is 100% original- no trimming, molded perfectly, everything like the one that came out- except this one is all new and clean and all. The only problem is they can't get that molded piece that fits...

    Sound Deadener - how much?

    OK. Got the burb gutted, new carpet is on the way. Now is the time for me to put some sound deadener on the floor and quarters with everything removed. I found a hushmat kit that has 30 sheets (58 sq ft). Is that enough to get the floor and maybe some of the quarters? I should have...

    StockInteriors.com?

    Anybody know anything or have any experience with these guys? I'm considering replacing the carpet in our newly acquired burb rather than just trying to clean it (I have to basically gut the truck anyway). I can't get carpet from the dealer, are these guys any good? I don't want it to look...

    seat backs keep falling...

    Anybody got any ideas on how to fasten sagging seat backs on the front buckets? I've had them off but don't see any way to tighten them back up so they stay up. I'm referring to the plastic panels and pockets... Its really annoying! Thanks.

    Navi install in non-bose truck

    Hey guys- I just picked up an 09 LT Suburban without nav or bose. I'd like to install a factory nav head unit but understand it won't work with the bose amp. Is there a wiring harness I can get that will allow me to use an aftermarket amp (RF is my go-to) with the factory nav receiver? I...

    Replacement Carpet for 06

    Hey guys- I've been out of the loop for a while on here. We still have our 2002 Tahoe (pushing 245K miles now) but I have been pleasantly distracted by a '70 C-10 project truck I got. Anyway- we are looking at an 06 LT Suburban (low miles) and the carpet is absolutely filthy nasty. I spent...

    DIY Dash Cover Change-Out?

    I might be trying out another NNBS (had an 08 Tahoe LT briefly)- the dealer my wife works at took in a higher mileage (140K) but very clean 07 Yukon SLT (one local owner) on trade. Of course the dash is cracked...... Has anybody replaced one themselves? I'm trying to get an idea of what's...

    Leaking Front (timing) Cover Fixed

    Well, after replacing every seal in my engine EXCEPT the front (timing) cover, it finally started leaking. I was getting a single drop of oil overnight on the floor in the garage and it was coming from the front cover. Since I have a zero tolerance for leaks I had to fix it. We're driving...

    another big WTF???

    Doing my A/C job yesterday I had to pull the bellypans/splashguards under the engine to get better access to the A/C belt and tensioner. When I dropped the rear guard (the one underneath the oil pan), what looks like a frost plug fell off it. Its what looks to be a small frost plug with a...

    AC Orifice Issue

    I switched out the compressor and accumulator on my 02 this morning. The old compressor only had about 2 oz of oil, the accumulator had nearly 6 oz. I thought that was odd, but put it back together that way (the ac was working great when I took it apart, the compressor clutch was failing)...

    2002 Tahoe- Need A/C Parts Help!

    It sounds like the clutch in my compressor is locking up- squealing under load, sounds like the belt is smacking the lines... all the usual bad stuff going on so I'm setting up to replace the compressor this weekend. I'm getting mixed up looking at all the parts options on rockauto. The...

    Front Brakes - recommendations?

    My front rotors are getting close to being ready for replacement (I feel a wiggle every once and a while under light braking). Anybody have any luck with a decent rotor/brake pad they can recommend? I was thinking of getting GM factory replacements but remember there being problems with...

    Need to put a hitch on an 02

    My 02 came from the factory without a hitch and I want to put one on. I'm not going to be pulling anything heavy (stock 4.8 won't pull much even if I wanted it to)- maybe a yard trailer, likely more often one of those racks to hold coolers and stuff. Anybody know what a decent looking hitch...

    polished stock 16"s?

    I've got the stock beater 16" wheels on the hoe. I've seen them polished on a few trucks. Was that a factory thing or did the owners do it? I've got some pretty severe corrosion from wheel weights on one or two of my wheels but they are otherwise damage free. Giving them a polish might be a...

    smaller sub options?

    I normally run a 12" RF Punch sub in its own enclosure behind the second row. It works fantastic but takes too much space (as much as one of the third row seats). When I travel with the family, more luggage space would be real nice so I'm considering what my part-time sub option might be...

    Sold the 2008 LT

    After just four months and less than 4,000 miles, I sold the 2008 LT. In those few miles it was in the shop TWICE for engine oil leaks (they replaced the rear main - WTF? and then, when it was still leaking, the oil pan gasket) and this week, the last straw- the dash cracked above the...

    roof rack crossbar removal

    I hope this isn't a stupid question but after a quick look last night I couldn't figure it out. How do I remove the roof-rack crossbars on my 08 LT? On my 02 I just removed the rear trim cap and slid them both back and out/off. I tried that on the new one and found real quick it wasn't going...

    Strange Remote Start Issue

    I had the dealer install the factory remote start in my 08 LT. It works really well with one exception- the heater doesn't always seem to come on with the remote start. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. There's not a ton of sense pre-starting the truck if the effin thing isn't heating...

    02 LS vs 08 LT

    I'm kind of annoyed that some of the stuff my 02 LS has is missing on my 08 LT. The stuff my LS has that the LT is missing... puddle lights heated mirrors lights in bottom of door panels garage door opener (home link) Funny how the factory got cheaper when they built the "better"...

    The hoe is home!

    My 02 has a new brother.... I brought the 08 home today. It feels like a 4WD compared to the 02- I see a drop coming in the future! I guess I'll be busy this weekend cleaning/detailing it and getting all the dealer crap off it.... First impression - the 5.3 is a hoss compared to the 4.8...

    Any Advice for Move to NNBS?

    I currently slum around in the NBS section of the forum but I am thinking real hard about selling my 02 and moving into a NNBS 'hoe. Looking at a pretty clean 2WD 08 with ~70K miles on it (my 02 has 200K+). My brother is highway patrol and they run tahoe's. He said the NBS were much more...
