    Brake Pads

    My stock pads/rotors on the front were replaced awhile ago with r1 concepts rotors (stock ones were warped) and Hawk pads. The Hawk pads put off a TON of dust and just didn't brake well until you warmed them up quite a bit, so I swapped them out for EBC Greenstuff pads at the recommendation of...

    Headlight control sensor

    I'm having a hard time finding a part number for it. My headlights are on 95% of the time, so I want to replace the light sensor on the dash. Anyone have a part number for it? 2007 Tahoe

    Warped rear rotors???

    I replaced my front, badly warped stock rotors and pads with R1 Concepts rotors and Hawk HPS pads 3 years ago and now I'm feeling the familiar shaking when braking. The steering wheel isn't doing any shaking at all, so I assume it to be the rear rotors that are warped. I'm thinking about the...

    4100NEX GPS options

    Any way to hook up an external GPS antenna for the 4100NEX? I've had a few weak reception issues with my phone being inside the vehicle, plus not using the phone's GPS antenna would help on battery consumption (which it surprisingly actually slowly charges while running gmaps and streaming XM)

    Pioneer 4100NEX installed

    Pioneer 4100NEX installed (by me). There were several pain points to it, but it came out pretty nice. The dual USB port to replace the 12V accessory socket was a pain to find, but worth it. I bought a cheap camera for forward facing since the head unit supports two cameras, but the one I...

    New grille and applique

    Bought a LTZ grille in November of 2013 off ebay, then bought a house and had a kid, so it took me awhile to do much work to it. Here are the results of that: I did a headunit install as well, so I wanted to do a rear camera, which meant removing the rear applique, so I picked up a Yukon...

    p0449 & p0445

    I've had the p0449 for a month or two now and have the parts sitting there to replace to fix it, but scanned this morning and saw p0449 AND p0445. I looked up 0445 and found that it's probably the cause of my 16mpg highway on my weekend trip vs my normal 18-19. Will the parts to fix the p0449...

    GMOS-LAN-012 w/ Bose Wiring assistance

    4100NEX install issues I'm wiring up my headunit (Pioneer 4100NEX) and want to confirm before I put the thing in that I've got it wired correctly. I have a 2007 Bose w/o Nav Tahoe. Do I wire all the speaker wires together (purple, purple/back, white, white black, gray, gray/black, green, green...

    Yukon Applique part #???

    I'm getting ready to buy the Yukon tailgate applique to put on my Tahoe while I'm doing the rear camera anyway. I've found three part numbers, but not sure which one to go with. 15915677 22777479 22777530 I'm not putting a factory camera in if that makes a difference.

    Headunit install parts list - need verification

    I'm getting ready to buy a Pioneer 4100NEX to go in my 07 Tahoe with Bose without nav. I want to retain steering wheel controls as well. I've already purhased this: Metra GMOS-LAN-012 06-up GM Onstar Rentention Module (got it for $30 over a year ago) Still need to purchase: Metra 95-3305...

    WTT Wood Grain for z71 Aluminum NNBS (or buy)

    Shot in the dark here, but I'd like to trade the wood grain dash trim pieces for the aluminum trim pieces if anyone is up for it. I can add cash to the trade. Likewise, if anyone has the aluminum pieces for sale, I'd like to have them. My Tahoe is an '07 without power folding mirrors. I'm also...

    CREE Turn Signal Bulbs

    Sway bar end link sheared off

    I heard a thump whenever going over bumps in the road, had for a day or two but it got more consistent, so I took a look behind the wheel. The top of the bolt/nut is just gone, so my sway bar is only attached on one side (front). The question now is, do I replace with stock end link or...

    Pioneer Android Auto

    Any looking to get one of these? http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/DVD-Receivers/AVH-4100NEX I'm not sure if I want the Pioneer or a different brand. Parrott's looks pretty sweet too, but I'm sure it's going to be very pricey.

    CCM & Terra Grapplers done

    Now I need to paint my new grille and put it in, hopefully over the long weekend.

    CCM install question (in progress)

    I just got the front of the kit on, but not without some struggle. The bottom shock mount is my concern of whether I did it right. The metal on the bottom of the shock when removed from the Tahoe is slanted a bit, meaning not perpendicular to the shock on one axis. When you put the CCM piece...

    Pic Request

    Anyone have a pic of a NNBS with the CCM leveling kit (front and rear installed) with Nitto Terra Grapplers in 275 55 20 (probably getting them from here: tirebuyer)? This is the setup I'm thinking about going with, but want to make sure I don't end up looking like I have tiny wheels/tires or...

    Removing molding on an '07

    I have a '07 Tahoe, it's burgundy, and it still has the door moldings. I'd like to remove them, but I'm wondering how terrible it's going to look due to paint fade. Any idea? It's been garage kept, but I'm not sure that's enough to make a difference here.

    CF Overlay

    I'm thinking about buying a carbon fiber kit and overlaying the wood trim in the 'hoe. I'm not sure how I would get it smooth though as I'd be applying the resin by brush. Anyone know if it's sandable? I realize it will have to be thin on the edges to still snap into place. Anyone done this...

    Pioneer 5600BHS fitment

    So Crutchfield's site states that the 5600 will not fit in the NNBS Tahoes. This is why: 3/27/2014 5:46:18 p.m. Jenny The 5600 is a bit too deep. 3/27/2014 5:46:25 p.m. Jenny It is 6.885" deep. 3/27/2014 5:46:31 p.m. Alex what is the 8500? 3/27/2014 5:46:40 p.m. Jenny The vehicle offers...

    Recirculate

    Is there any way to make it stay on? I'm sick of sucking in the fumes of the cars in front of me. Only way I can keep it on is to put it on floor and face setting.

    Glad my whole family drives large GM vehicles...

    http://www.nbc29.com/story/24544669/fatal-car-accident-on-rt-29-south-in-albemarle That's my brother's Chevy 2500 diesel. He walked away from this wreck. Essentially a Kia was traveling north in the southbound lanes, side swiped a F150, then the lifted Bronco in front of my brother hit it and...
