How many features can be re-programmed in these trucks? Is there a list?

Transmission dip stick reading high but transmission drain pan empty.
How much did you drain out and how much did you add? You can use milk jugs to measure the old fluid approximately. Make sure you add at least as much as you drained. Check the dipstick with the truck in park after slowly moving the shifter through each position , P to 1, and engine running, e...- Rocket Man

Why have more than one SUV?
I have 2 because one is basically a race truck with blower, cam, headers etc and the other is a low key nicely modded-for-looks one. Plus the race truck broke down and I needed something to drive immediately so I bought a newer one and started modding it instead of fixing the race truck because...- Rocket Man

03 yukon part name help
I replaced the rear ac lines with retrofit rubber ones from https://www.autocoolingsolutions.com/products/rear-ac-line-set-sub6050 but I thought the heater lines were rubber and the ac lines are they hard lines. I seem to remember replacing the plastic quick connects that are just like the front...- Rocket Man

Chrome Door Molding Removal?
That sucks. They’ve used high bond tape for the last 30 years and its worked fine. That’s the first thing I did when I bought my 08 was to remove all the moldings.- Rocket Man

Rocket Man’s 2008 Tahoe Build Thread
Looks like that last fix finished fixing the leak. The work I did under the cowl did seem to slow it down but when I was finally able to pry up that rubber pad by the hood release cable grommet I could see where it was coming in at. At first, I could see water coming in fast as soon as I applied...- Rocket Man

And he put in so much effort, such details although I admit I didn’t read it. I was just wondering why I was getting an alert about something posted 3 years ago. Sheesh. :p :p :p- Rocket Man

If the rubber backed padding wasn’t completely covering the firewall and going behind everything a person could at least see where it’s coming from. I finally was able to get access to the bottom portion. I have a prybar jammed up there and then propped up on top of the brake pedal to force the...- Rocket Man

Rocket Man’s 2008 Tahoe Build Thread
Today I water tested and thought I had it. It didn’t leak for quite awhile as I started slowly again, starting by just applying it near the fender , inside the cowl. I slowly worked towards the middle of the cowl and kept stopping and going inside looking. After 10 minutes or so I saw a stream...- Rocket Man

Water leak update. I removed the wipers and cowl and propped up the carpet and pad so I could see the water coming in. I started by applying water at the far outside of the cowl by the fender. As soon as I put water inside the cowl, I could see it flowing out inside. It was running down and out...- Rocket Man

Replacement Dash Cover
if you mean the actual dash, not an aftermarket dash cover, then yes I have a lot of experience with the GMT900’s. The new parts are designed differently than the originals, for one thing. So if you replace it, it’s highly unlikely to crack in the future- at least I don’t know of any that have...- Rocket Man

Rocket Man’s 2008 Tahoe Build Thread
Cerakote makes a wipe-on product that lasts about a year, depending on the environment; they state 200 washes. It makes the black plastics look like brand new no matter how faded they start out. I’ve been using it for years and wont do without it. It keeps the exterior plastics looking new and...- Rocket Man

Rocket Man’s 2008 Tahoe Build Thread
While I’m working on the leak, I had to pull some plastic pieces off and of course had to restore them. I love using Cerakote. The door sills looked terrible, the aluminum inserts were all messed up. I removed them and found out they were clear coated and that was most of the problem. I removed...- Rocket Man

Too bad the new scanner wont tell me where the damn water is coming from on the left cowl area. It’s soaking the driver side front carpet. I took everything apart on the driver side interior and removed the cowl. The drain with the flapper thing was full of leaves and crap so I figured aha that...- Rocket Man

Yes you’ll need shock relocation brackets before the rear. In used 2” ones. If the PPV springs lower it too much you can add a puck under them.- Rocket Man

Anybody lower a 4WD?
That was my first impression when I had it installed with the long end links and it wasn’t parallel to the control arm. Install shorter links; the road imperfections you feel will be unnoticeable. As far as using new bushings- I take the big washer off and use a regular washer just to get the...- Rocket Man

What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?
i do miss the old style squirters where you could just hold down the button and spray away without the wipers even being on. I also miss the old vent windows that you could turn backwards and they would turn into super ventilators if youre old enough to remember those. But I dont see either of...- Rocket Man

What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?
My last thought on wipers and scratches is I feel if a person keeps their rig’s exterior reasonably clean, you wont have to worry about it. i regularly wash mine by hand and make sure to use extra water to flush out every crack and of course the wipers and cowl. If there’s grit and grime around...- Rocket Man
