Well, as my luck would have it, just as I'm about to finish putting my Tahoe back together, all of a sudden I get a call from my brother telling me a customer at his shop is selling his 2011 Avalanche for $500. Yeah $500!!! It's 4x4 with a silver body & good black leather interior. 250,000...
For $95 it doesn't look bad, but we'll see how long these cats last before I get the rattle can sound. And I just might be ready to turn the key on this sucker tomorrow too! Maybe
I've never seen a good carpet on anything at a Wrench a Part or Pick a Part if that's what you mean. Seems like nobody cares after they get their part. They leave the doors open all the time. And just like the last time I was there, pouring rain. It'll smell those things up something aweful.
I'm gonna be totally honest: I've never been a huge fan of the headlights on that generation of Tahoes and Suburbans, but those lights actually look pretty damn good. I'm impressed. Good work bud
I sacrificed a soldering iron tip to use only for plastic (they're almost useless for soldering metal after that) and cut my own "stitches" from scrap pieces of aluminum sheet. And it works best to use the same plastic, but not necessary. I've seen some plastic welding kits online, but I'm doing...
Got the broken junkyard bezel fixed. Plastic welded 4 broken spots at the top edge, and attached 4 missing clips. Plastic welded those on too. I sanded rough spots down, then used plastic adhesion promoter, then sprayed with charcoal grey interior trim paint. What do you think?
I second that. I was thinking either that: a bad or almost bad ground, or you're experiencing what many others have in their GM trucks at some point: rodents. They love wires. One of the ingredients that goes into wire insulation is peanut oil. I got 2 questions for you:
1) Do you ever park...
I think '04 is when they changed. Maybe mid '04? Idk for sure. But I've read about the differences in the 2, and I'm more inclined to think return is better. I think GM went to returnless to save $. Cheaper for them and besides, what customer is gonna say: "This year model still using the return...
Is it possible to change to a return style fuel system (from a 2002) on a '04-'07 truck that has a returnless system? If so, what would be involved besides having all the parts: injectors, rails, lines, pump, etc? PCM?
Still working on getting this '05 engine wiring harness installed. When I took the '02 harness out, I cut the wires off the 2 connectors for the Park/neutral safety switch on the trans. The 2 that are glued in. The used harness I got they were missing anyway. I'm sure for the same reason: glued...
I'm all fairness mine did have the plastic clips, but just like a lot of other old plastic clips, they tend to break easily when pulled on. So foam tape is probably recommended even if the clips are still there.
Sorry, I didn't clarify before. Yes I'm staying with the double din '05 set-up. I already got a bezel for it. Had to do some plastic welding repairs on it: had 3 cracks along top edge and it had missing attachment clips. Still gotta paint it. Yes, I already have the plastic adhesion promoter and...
I'm the same way. If I'm taking it off and gonna put it back on, it gets cleaned. If it's a used part I bought, it gets cleaned. If it's new to me, I want it to be as close to new as possible.
Disassembled the used center console I got from Wrench a Part and cleaned it top to bottom (years of spilled sodas) and got it installed in the truck. I more thing to X off the list. Only about 50 left lol
