    Broke the fader control /EQ knob on my OE stereo

    That’s the monitor for the backup camera I installed. The red button is the switchable power supply for the camera, plugged into the cigarette lighter style power port. I do not have it tied into my reverse lights, I can turn it on whenever I want to see what’s close behind me...like on the 10...

    Broke the fader control /EQ knob on my OE stereo

    Like the title says, I broke the little button that adjusts the EQ and fader, etc. Anyone know where I can find one? It’s a completely stock 6CD changer Bose system for my 03 Tahoe. Thanks.

    Jay Leno's Garage Detail products on my old 'hoe...

    My loving g/f got me the Jay Leno Garage starter kit as a gift (bless her heart!) to use on my '68 Coupe deVille, and I added a few other things (clay mitt and a wash kit). Now with this covid lockdown nightmare, and having a bit of time on my hands, I thought I'd see what this stuff would do to...

    What do you think of this creampuff?

    Sometimes it’s tough to play “the waiting game”, especially when there’s a dealer involved. They wanna buy low and sell high, that’s how they keep the lights on. But more often than not, they start asking for all the money and turn down decent deals. But if the vehicle is still there after a...

    Smog check fail and ac quit !

    I don’t think the previous owner ever cleaned the motor. Until today, I actually thought the valve covers were black.

    Smog check fail and ac quit !

    Anyone know what a true “drive cycle” is? Now that I have these things replaced, I want to get my ‘hoe smog checked and registered. Problem is, with us on lockdown, and my industry eliminated for the foreseeable future, I really don’t have anywhere to go!

    Let Me See Your Tahoe, Yukon, Or Denali!

    Mine's still pretty boring by comparison, but I love my 'hoe! Purchased it almost two years ago! Still only has 170k miles. Previous owner removed running boards and shaved the badges. All I did was shine her up, get new tires, add a backup camera, and made sure she's mechanically sound! Great...

    Smog check fail and ac quit !

    And that's exactly how I spent my day today! Ordered all 3 from Amazon...the ACDelco replacement parts. Pretty easy job actually...except for the stubborn hose clamp tabs on the Vapor Canister Vent Valve (the one under the truck). Still, pretty quick and easy. And just enough clearance under the...

    Weird smell when A/C is turned on

    If you search the older posts, from about a year or so ago, we had a discussion or two about cabin air filters. They had them up to and including 2002. The 2003 was the first year without, and I believe GM just thought they were no longer necessary. However, they did not change the...

    Would you by any chance know those parts numbers for an 03 Tahoe... or tell me where I might find them? Thanks!

    Smog check fail and ac quit !

    Well, I had the fuel pump and filter replaced a year and a half ago, and the gas cap around the same time. I will try to take a look at all the other stuff. Problem is, since my accident last year, I don’t have the flexibility I used to have.( broken femur in 3 places and fractured hip. Two...

    Smog check fail and ac quit !

    Is there such a thing as a complete P0455 “ kit”..., where you can buy all the parts that it could be causing the code?

    Fuel Pump dead at 4000 hrs on motor.

    On my 03, I have 6647 hours at 177431 miles. My fuel pump was replaced at about 167,000 miles.

    Smog check fail and ac quit !

    Registration is due, and so is smog, so I went to the 5 min In-and-out, drive-thru smog station. Couldn’t pass. I had just reset my P0455 and the computer knew it (didn’t have a “ drive cycle” I.e. 150 miles on it since. Grrr) while waiting in line for over an hour with truck running and a/c...

    Tahoe oem sub box

    LOL! Your cute little stories about bad drivers in your neck of the woods make me envious! Try living and commuting in Los Angeles county, where EVERY hour is rush hour! And the roads are packed with arrogant, texting-and-selfie-addicted imbeciles who may also be part of a cartel or gang and...

    Looking for suggestions to get smoke smell out of the vents 2003 Tahoe

    All the above info is a good start! Glad you’re trying to save her! Unfortunately, the stench will be in the headliner too. You just have to clean every surface as much as you can, multiple times. Cig smoke is the worst! (And, by the way, the ‘03 did not come from the factory with cabin air...

    Rear seating has poor design for legs

    Get one that has captains chairs for second row... then whoever sits in the third row can stretch out their legs between the captains chairs! You’re welcome!

    Global Extended Coolant

    Haven’t posted for quite awhile. I may have posted once since my accident last July, but to re-cap, my femur was broken in 3 places and my hip fractured, two titanium rods and screws were installed and I’ve been going to physical therapy about 2x per week. So, needless to say, I’m not doing my...
