    New OTA update

    Just had this one install today, N22-238222. I can't find any information on the web about it, and of course the info GM gives you during the update is pretty uninformative. I can't even find this update number, much less any info. At least with previous updates I can find the number and at...

    DRL recall

    I have a question about this for anyone that has had the recall performed. After the fix, do the DRLs turn off completely, or do they dim? Pretty much every car I see on the road with LED strip DRLs have them dim when the headlights turn on. They don't turn off completely, which is how my...

    Oil usage question...

    I was just pulling in the drive at home this evening and the DIC on the Escalade flashed a low oil level warning. Parked in the garage and checked the dipstick and it wasn't even registering. Oil life is at 38% with about 4,000 miles since the last oil change. I was planning to change it soon...

    Has anyone installed these Morimoto headlights...

    Pricey, but IMHO they look a lot better than stock.

    Test drove the new Escalade today...

    I've been looking at these a for a little while now, and this is the first model of the Escalade that I actually like the looks of. I always thought the Tahoe was more appealing in the previous models, but I really like the new one. It was very smooth and comfortable and the features are...

    Camshaft position sensor

    I've had a camshaft position sensor code pop up a couple of times in the last month or so, and I was wondering how exactly it is used on the 2005 non-flex 5.3. It doesn't have VVT, so it seems a bit redundant with the crankshaft position sensor. I suppose as the timing chain stretches over...

    Almost lost the Tahoe today...

    Somebody broke into the parking garage at work today and punched the lock out on the driver's door, ripped the column cover off and tried to force the ignition lock. They only managed to mangle it beyond all recognition and rendered it completely inoperable. Then they stole everything they...

    Is Mobil 1 trying to pull a fast one??

    Changed the oil today, and noticed something funny about the oil filter. I have used the longer Mobil 1 M1-206 filters since it was new, but today the filter looked a little short. So, I pulled it back off and compared it to the one I had just removed. New one on the left, old one on the...

    OEM floor mats

    Does anyone know of someplace that still has the OEM carpet floor mats for an '05 Tahoe? They're the Medium Dark Pewter PN 89040133. They've been discontinued and I haven't been able to find anyplace that still has them. I have looked at aftermarket and haven't seen anything that I like...

    Door handle broke...has anyone seen this before?

    Not quite sure if this belongs in exterior or interior. Anyway, yesterday I went out to go to lunch and grabbed the door handle and....nothing. The return spring didn't even pull the handle back. Now I know that the outside door handle is plastic, so I thought it had broken where the linkage...

    Low oil pressure....sometimes

    Well, at 180k and zero problems of any significance, I guess it was due. I've been having intermittent low oil pressure since my last oil change, or at least I first noticed it when I started it to check for pressure and leaks after changing the oil a couple of months ago. My first thought was...

    Trying to match a color...

    Does anyone know what the color is that GM used for things like the radio and HVAC buttons and radio and HVAC faces on the '03-06s? This is also the color on the dash bezel insets that surround the gauge and switch openings, so maybe someone knows from having redone their bezel. Colorbond...

    TPMS and Torque app

    Ever since I installed an Android tablet into the Tahoe for navigation, music, and diagnostics and monitoring, I have wanted to include TPMS in the display. However, the PIDs for the tire pressures don't seem to be anywhere on the internet. So, after a LOT of research, scanning the Class 2 bus...

    Update to adding trans temp gauge...

    Well, it has been a long, long time figuring this out, but I believe I have got it. I'm referring to a thread I started last year about configuring the instrument cluster for adding the trans temp gauge...

    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

    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...
