    New look....

    Here is a more Suburban-esque rear bumper. You're right, it does look better that way, but I'm still sticking with the long wheelbase.

    New look....

    You're right, the wheelbase is 23in longer. I thought that the Silverado crewcab wheelbase would provide more passenger room, and I kind of liked the look, as opposed to moving the rear axle forward. The overall length would be about 15in longer, so the comment about urban drivers is valid...

    New look....

    I like a lot about the 2015-2018 Tahoe, especially the RST, but I'm still not fond of the front end. So, I did a little fantasizing and Photoshopping of a Suburban crossed with a 6.2L Silverado Redline, and this is what the result was. What do you think?

    Reconfiguring Instrument cluster with Tech2 and TIS

    Yes, my Tech2 has version 33.004. If I was certain that the subscription would do the trick, I would consider spending the money, but my understanding is that no new updates for 2006 and older vehicles have been released since this version. Also, I know that people have been doing this since...

    Reconfiguring Instrument cluster with Tech2 and TIS

    Today I tried to use a Denali VIN to load the IPC software from TIS2000 into the Tech2 and then reprogrammed the cluster with with it. Still no Trans Temp. Even though the Tahoe and Yukon Denali seem to use the same software part number, I thought maybe there was something about the VIN that...

    Reconfiguring Instrument cluster with Tech2 and TIS

    So, a little more research. I tried reprogramming the cluster with the current software, hoping that it would present me with an option to activate the Trans Temp gauge. No luck there, it successfully reprogrammed and everything works as it did, but nothing about activating the gauge. Next, I...

    Reconfiguring Instrument cluster with Tech2 and TIS

    Yeah, I've seen that in a number of forums as well, and as I said, I can understand the shops that do this not wanting to tell their secrets. However, I did read where someone claimed that he was able to activate his using a Tech2 and TIS2Web. That site is now under ACDelco and requires a...

    Reconfiguring Instrument cluster with Tech2 and TIS

    I recognize that the people that have this knowledge may very well be using it to earn a living, but hopefully some kind soul will enlighten us.

    Reconfiguring Instrument cluster with Tech2 and TIS

    I put the stepper motor for Trans Temp in my cluster a while back (2005 Tahoe) when I replaced the whole set due to one of them acting up. Unfortunately, from what I can tell 2004-2006 have to be reprogrammed to turn on the Trans Temp gauge. Mine will zero on power up, but won't move off zero...

    Recommend replacement 3rd brake light? Dorman any good?

    My original lasted about 9 years. The first Dorman lasted around 3 years. On my second Dorman now, it's been in about a year and working fine, but I don't expect OEM lifetime from it. I'd rather put in the GM part, but they want too much for it. The problem with these is the electrical...

    Would you buy your Yukon/Tahoe again?

    2005 LT bought new. 140,000 miles with zero problems. Most comfortable vehicle I've ever owned. Wife has had an Acura MDX and a Lexus RX330 during that time, I'd much rather ride in the Tahoe. The Tahoe goes through 2 foot Colorado snows like they aren't even there (plowed our street without...

    Poor XM Reception

    In the past few months I have noticed some areas around where I live that I lose XM reception. Some digging around on the internet would suggest that Tmobile is the cause. They have begun installing some new towers that use a newly reallocated cellular band that reportedly interferes with some...

    Center console shifter

    BTW for anyone interested in doing this, here is the GM part number for the manual transmission steering column shroud to eliminate the shift lever hole. 26089146 Since I got the Trailblazer shifter off ebay, I don't know that part number. Other modifications...

    Center console shifter

    The steel bar is bolted to the substructure of the console, and then the outer trim panels were reinstalled, so the bolts are hidden.

    Center console shifter

    Here is a picture of a console I found online with drawings of what I did. The green rectangles are the two 1"x1/8" bars that I mounted the shifter to, and the red hatched area is what I removed from the subwoofer enclosure. The subwoofer is ABS, so I cut out the space that I needed and then...

    Center console shifter

    Here is a picture of the console and steering column. I don't have pics of the bracket, but it was just 1"x1/8" steel bar bent 90° at each end and bolted across the inside of the console.

    Center console shifter

    Did this in my '05 Tahoe. Used a Trailblazer shifter from the same year. The cable can be detached from the column and rerouted to the console, it connected to the Trailblazer shifter with no modification. I just had to fabricate a bracket to mount the shifter in the console. I just cut the...
