    2003 z71 tahoe

    Those back rear corner vent louvers.…. I have one that’s cracked on my 2001 Yukon SLT. Does anyone have an extra passenger side rear cover trim vent for sale? Or know a good source? How do I remove them? Thanks in advance.

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

    Was scoping out the wiring for a new subwoofer amplifier install in the front center console, under the cup holder. Going to run power in thru the main grommet, i guess… but I hate the thought of taking an exacto-knife blade to the grommet. I think I’ve decided that’s the best way to go. While...

    Black or Gray Mats on Pewter Interior?

    After 22 years I’m adding all-weather floor mats to my GMT800 Yukon w Pewter interior. I am leaning towards black to pick up all the black trim on the dash, steering wheel, etc. because I think WeatherTech Gray will too close to coordinate and too different to match. Form follows function but...

    GMT800 DRL Ambient Sensor Questions - Lil’ Help Pls

    Thanks everybody. I learned my way around the dash while installing new audio head unit with wiring for GPS antenna and microphone. Im convinced I can’t get to the ambient sensor thru the radio access but I’ve seen videos that indicate it’s possible. It looks too far back and too tight to be...

    Recommendations for a touch screen apple carplay head unit with backup camera function

    I just installed a Sony XAV 6000 with an AudioVoxx backup camera, and new speakers all the way around. It’s great. The short depth of the double-DIN head unit does not require hacksaw-removal of the support bracket. Ran camera wires in thru driver side brake light, then past subwoofer and along...

    GMT800 DRL Ambient Sensor Questions - Lil’ Help Pls

    I would absolutely spraypaint it if anyone knows a good match color code for Pewter. I thought about painting black but not sure black would work on top. I think it would look good to paint the old dash top and the new monochrome Metra double-DIN dash front panel at same time. I’m sending back...

    Anyone know about ceramic coatings?

    Short summary is that SiO2 based ceramics are newer in the market than traditional legacy Carnuba and other synthetic car waxes, and are generally viewed as a better product. It is Never a bad idea to get first application professionally applied because the old wax needs to be cleaned and...

    2005 UQ7 Bose Speaker size question

    6.5” Polk fit in the rear door of my 2001 Yukon, NOT Bose. It was a perfect fit. No drilling. Even used the OEM screws again, except one that I replaced with slightly longer screw and a flat washer. Not Bose but I think yours is the same. Front door, I replaced my 21-year old woofers w...

    2002 Wheel size

    On my 2001 Y-SLT 4WD I replaced the OEM chrome steel 16’s with mint ole’ skool machined aluminum 18’s, and Michelin Defender LTX 275/55-18’s. Got a good deal on the wheels … tires cost 4X the price of the wheels! To me this is the ideal rugged road cruising setup. Diameter is a near-perfect...

    New from H-town, TX

    Welcome to the tribe. Nice truck. 2-Doors are unique, and the wheels are awesome. Great start. I just finished swapping all the interior lights and exterior lights (except side amber flashers) with LED and that was a low cost high impact project to start with. Now working on the stereo. Started...

    255/55 18R wheels and tires

    I am running 275/60-18s on a 2001 SLT that was previously 16 inch rims. I’m using later year OEM machined aluminum wheels. They work / fit / look/ ride great. GPS speed versus Speedometer match is dead-nuts on the money. This wheel setup should have been stock. I think 255 is a little narrow for...

    2004 Yukon XL Denali aftermarket Subwoofer Amplifier Install

    I installed a Polk 8” sub in my 2001 Tahoe this evening. I also needed just 1mm more clearance to use the very high quality resin box from the factory install. I went a different route and ground down the outer diameter of the Polk sub to make it fit. Pictures below show how bad the OEM...

    Replace HVAC Vent Blend Door Actuator on Driver Side

    So I had the HVAC only blowing out the defroster only, which usually means the actuator wedged under the driver side dash had failed. I replaced with a Dorman 604-113 aftermarket actuator and think these tips and photos will be helpful. - I removed the driver’s side kick panel under the...

    2001 Yukon XL

    Good get. A really great easy upgrade is replacing the dome, map, glove box, door panel and rear window puddle lights with LED. The door panel courtesy lamps and the puddle lamps are whole replacements, the rest are bulbs. Really pops the interior.

    Hi everybody. Original owner of 2001 4WD Yukon SLT. Has been a great truck. It’s a backup driver now, and hauls my mountain bike to the trails, plus we use it for family airport pickups and hauling big stuff around. I lurked around the site a little and appreciate the good crowd here. Looking...
