    2007-2014 Nav stereo in at 2005?

    Does anyone know if it's compatible to replace the Nav stereo in my 2005 Tahoe with one that comes out of a the later gen model? I really want to keep the steering wheel controls. I know I can buy an aftermarket stereo but I see one in my area for sale for a good price right now.

    Brake Line replacement question

    Sorry for the delayed response. Yes, I eventually ended up getting it all resolved. My entire brake system had drained so the ABS emptied out. I don't have an ODB2 that is able to work it the ABS. I found a thread somewhere that recommended finding some mud or gravel and working the ABS a...

    Firewall Insulation Mat Rubber Heat Shield

    Thank you @915_Tahoe! What is that called anyway? I can't find a part number on it. I might be boned anyway. It looks like that piece has a lot of stuff running through it to the firewall and I'd have to pull the dash out and everything running through it. I think I'm going to need to use...

    Firewall Insulation Mat Rubber Heat Shield

    First off, thank you for your service Ron! People like you have kept our country great. :) Sounds like, with only 133k, that's good even if it's $8500. I hope he'll bring it down a few thousand for ya though. Post some pictures if you snag it. That would be helpful if @915_Tahoe could tell...

    Firewall Insulation Mat Rubber Heat Shield

    As some of you know, I've just got a new 2002 Z71 project going. This thing has zero rust and I'm just ecstatic about it. Needs bodywork but I'm not worried about that. I've pulled all the carpet to give a really good deep cleaning and I found that the rubber/foam heat shield under the carpet...

    Brake Line replacement question

    Well, I switched out the ABS module with the spare that I had and no change. Brake light and ABS light stays on and warns that the Stabilization has been disabled. I went ahead and really cleaned the ground to frame attachments again and that was no help. So bleeding question - I bleed all my...

    A new 2002 Tahoe z71 project

    So it's a little rough...but it's about to start a transformation! Just as soon as I figure out the ABS light on my other one. lol

    A new 2002 Tahoe z71 project

    I've had so much fun fixing up my 2005 LS Tahoe over the past 8 months but what I really wanted a black z71. Well, I found one for a decent deal and I'm going to switch over to that one. It's 3 years older but it has about 70k fewer miles and no rust at all. Looks garage kept for most of its...

    Brake Line replacement question

    Thanks Larry. I thought it could possibly be the ABS unit. Coincidently I have a spare (I pulled from a junkyard Tahoe in good shape) that I thought about switching out just to see what would happen. It's a lot of work for a guess though so I'm hoping there is something else I can do. I...

    Brake Line replacement question

    Turns out that I cross-threaded one of the flexible middle pipes threads. What a pain in the butt to change. I replaced it, bleed all tires and now there isn't anymore leak. It's breaking just like it did before. However, I'm still getting a "Stability System Disabled" and the red brake...

    Brake Line replacement question

    I think I *might* have found the issue. One of the new lines that I ran is slowly leaking. I tightened it up and it's still leaking after I depressing the brake. Grrrrr.... I hate brakes!! Thread sealer?

    Brake Line replacement question

    After replacing lines, did any of you still have the ABS warning stay on? I've bled all the brake lines and braking works like it did before but it's still throwing that "Service Brake System" and the red brake light is on. Just wonder if it'll catch up and correct itself or I'm supposed to...

    Brake Line replacement question

    I just finished running the back 2 lines and man...that's the worst thing I've ever had to do in all my time working on any car! lol I hope I never have to do that again. Yikes!

    Brake Line replacement question

    Well Ron, you know that I wouldn't have been able to do all that with my heater core and catalytic converter (and many other issues!) without you and the members of this forum. The knowledge and expertise has been invaluable.

    Brake Line replacement question

    Thank you for the response guys! You're right Tony, it is JL4, which means I have Active Break Control. Like an idiot, I assumed that all brakes were the same on these. I found a good video to help others that might have the same issue. The only thing I don't like is having to use Dorman...

    Brake Line replacement question

    Hey guys... I haven't been on in a while because after the pandemic shutdown I've had to divert my attention to other things. My 2005 Tahoe was running great until this past weekend. Actually, it's still running great but one of the steel brake lines busted so I'm getting ready to replace it...

    Damp carpet

    Thank you, Joseph! It's my pleasure and has been a joy! That being said...I'm going to find that leak no matter what I have to do! lol

    Damp carpet

    Ron, I hope your arm heals quick! We all take for granted living relatively pain-free until something like that happens.

    Damp carpet

    Thank thanks to you, Ron! I kind of use this forum as a journal so that if someone else has these issues, they'll have some answers. :) I hope I never sound like I'm complaining here. I'm enjoying the heck out of myself on this project. It's sometimes frustrating and but almost always...

    Headliners

    My Tahoe has one of those overhead DVD Players that I don't use or want. I'm getting ready to remove the headliner to have someone redo the fabric on it. Is it safe to cover that hole it's installed in or will I need to buy (or pull from a junkyard) a headliner mold without that accessory spot...

    Damp carpet

    Well, it rained last night and when I checked it today was completely dry. Things I hadn't posted here were installing new door rubber, removing/resealing the plastic cap under the cowl (over the AC intake), and adding some clear chalking in areas under the rubber that runs over all the doors...

    Damp carpet

    Thank you, Geroge! That's good to know! I've put paper towels down all around as Ron suggested and all came up dry. On Friday, I pulled off the kick panel and door molding on both sides and pulled the carpet and padding back. Both were wet but not soaked. The plastic under the pedals on the...
