    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    I'll have to try that. As of now, the blade is crapped out and on back order, so I haven't been using the rear wiper at all.

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    My washer reservoir ran dry yesterday, and today I filled the reservoir with a freshly-opened gallon of juice. That's a pretty mundane thing to post in this thread, huh? What I learned, though, is that the "dry to brimming" volume is about 4 oz shy of a gallon, so I'm stuck holding onto a...

    Can I switch the 2nd row seats around?

    I solved the exact same issue for a friend with a kayak (albeit in a different vehicle), so I have to ask: exactly how are you trying to fit the kayak in? If you've only attempted it the way she had, which is in the upright position, try it with the kayak sitting on its side. This isn't a...

    Best Dash mat?

    Thanks for the suggestion. I take it that you not mentioning a speaker opening means yours doesn't have one?

    Best Dash mat?

    Sure, I understand a generic one won't. I'm specifically asking about ones made to fit our GMT900s. Many of them mention a cutout for the sensor, but I haven't run across any that specifically say they have a cutout for the speaker. The DashMat brand says this, which isn't particularly...

    Best Dash mat?

    Do any dash covers have a cutout for the center speaker? I'm not exactly an audiophile these days, but I can use all the mids/highs I can get, so I don't want something muffling that speaker if possible.

    Water stuck in door panel? 2014 Tahoe

    The possibility is zero. Even without any other venting, air can enter via the exterior door handle and the wiring conduit.

    Copper Clad Aluminum wire on an auxiliary battery installation

    I would only use copper. Size the wire for the length & amperage, then consider the wire and the connectors as a system. I prefer using solder terminals that utilize solder pellets, then sealing the joint with heavy-duty adhesive-lined shrink tubing. Some sources besides those mentioned...

    Water stuck in door panel? 2014 Tahoe

    No, of course they're not "designed to" fill up with water. No, the speakers are not marine-grade. This isn't a situation of GM "allowing" this to happen -- window seals aren't perfect, so water gets in. Thus, the doors are designed to drain any water that get past the window seals. Every...

    Anyone “upgraded” from the tensioner style AC compressor to the stretchy belt?

    In a similar vein, I used old-school suspension shims to align the brackets/pulleys on an aftermarket serpentine system the previous owner had installed on the 401 in my '79 AMC Spirit. You can get sets on Amazon for under $15 and there will likely be more than enough 1/64", 1/32", etc. to take...

    My new daily driver, 2013 Tahoe PPV

    IMO, this is a case where proper OE bolts and any associated hardware (washers, spacers) are a must. Generic fasteners likely won't have the correct flange, shank/shoulder configuration, and bending resistance.

    What is the best way to seal headlights?

    Yes, where the clear lens meets the black housing.

    What is the best way to seal headlights?

    OE and all aftermarket lights that I know of are already sealed, but if you mean additional sealing, I'd use Windo-Weld (yes, "windo" is correct).

    Empty Spot in Overhead Console Bezel -- What's It For?

    Yep, just found a similar eBay listing and posted it above.

    Empty Spot in Overhead Console Bezel -- What's It For?

    Ah, looks as if the switches for the power-fold 2nd-row captain's chairs were in this location for years other than my '13, which has them on the C-pillars. From an eBay auction:

    Empty Spot in Overhead Console Bezel -- What's It For?

    Yes. It's controlled by switches on the black box at the bottom left labeled "JAPAN." The truck also has a power liftgate, which is the switch in the middle.

    Empty Spot in Overhead Console Bezel -- What's It For?

    Y'all, While wiring in a dashcam, I noticed this empty spot (bottom right in the pic) in the overhead console of my '13 Tahoe LTZ. As per the title, what's this spot for? It'd be good to know what switch(es) fit there in case I ever want to add some device and use this spot. Thanks, Scrappy

    Running A CVC BU60FHD Converter with Zeroed-Out Clutch Slip Target -- Any Advice/Experience?

    That'd be nice, but won't be happening unless I run across a good one in a yard. Thank you for relating your personal experience. It looks that no lockup in 1-2-3 and lockup in 5-6 are the way to go, with lockup in 4 to be determined.

    Running A CVC BU60FHD Converter with Zeroed-Out Clutch Slip Target -- Any Advice/Experience?

    I intend to only be doing reliability, longevity, and driveability upgrades. It's a daily driver that I will use for regularly pulling a small utility trailer (that I used to pull with my 4-cylinder/auto '94 Camry without issue) and infrequently pulling a moderately-sized travel trailer no...

    Universal Remote System: Can It Be Re-Wired to Ignition or RAP for Its Power Source?

    Great, that'll be fairly easy, then. Thanks!

    Universal Remote System: Can It Be Re-Wired to Ignition or RAP for Its Power Source?

    Yes.

    Universal Remote System: Can It Be Re-Wired to Ignition or RAP for Its Power Source?

    Those are valid points, but I'm just looking to minimize ease of opportunities for ne'er-do-wells. I don't think any individual piece of security is a 100% solution.

    Running A CVC BU60FHD Converter with Zeroed-Out Clutch Slip Target -- Any Advice/Experience?

    Thanks for the input, Y'all! I'd already read both of your commentaries on the subject in other threads, but appreciate Y'all repeating it here. Now I just need folks' experiences with the converter in question. Yep, cooling by cutting off half of the surface area relative to the power being...

    Running A CVC BU60FHD Converter with Zeroed-Out Clutch Slip Target -- Any Advice/Experience?

    Y'all, I will be doing a number of reliability changes/upgrades soon, including disabling AFM and prophylactically replacing the torque converter & installing a Sonnax Zip Kit. I'm leaning towards a CVC BU60FHD converter, as recommended by many here. For those who are running this...
