    My fobs have been working fine in the past years operating the locks from a hundred or more feet away.. In the past 6 months they seem to only work within 15 feet or less sometime not at all. Both batteries have been replaced and that didn't help at all. Is this a programing issue or do I...

    My AC fan sounds like it is surging.

    With the AC on high and the face vents on I get a surging sound like the fan is going faster or slower but, the air coming out of the vents remains the same. The volume of air coming out of the vents does not feel as strong as it did in the past either. It also takes much longer to cool...

    I am heading to Arizona for a month this weekend so I took the rig in to rotate and balance tires. I was also replacing the spare with a new tire since they only had 4 tires in stock when I switched to the 35's. The shock started leaking after they jacked it up to rotate the tires. It is a...

    Alignment done but... I was told it is 1/4 in lower on the left side.

    I recently replaced all 4 control arms and anything else that was loose and put on new tires then took it in for alignment. The alignment guy told me my front and rear left side are 1/4 inch in lower... If you measure to the same points on the body the left is around a half inch higher. My...

    Trouble shooting Stabilitrack and ABS

    It seems some where there should be a good trouble shooting guide for these problems. I have seen a lot of very different fixes for these lights coming on so, to help narrowing it down maybe we can start to document symptoms and how they relate to the repairs. A full understanding of what the...

    What's under your back seat?

    When you have the 2nd row bench seat there is actually more room under it than you think. I have 35 inch tires with a 5 inch lift kit so the stock jack can not lift the wheels off the ground so I found a place to put a 48 inch farm jack. I also have custom wheels and use locking lug nuts the...

    Since my Tahoe has a bed in back we decided we need another power port and a USB port. You can pick up power at the power port on the right side and run the power under the carpet.

    Build your own roof rack

    I carry a 16 foot canoe on my Tahoe but I just don't trust the factory rack for putting that much stress on it... I also do not like how high all the aftermarket racks are because the extra height adds to the aerodynamic drag and reduced MPG. Plus many of the aftermarket ones use plastic on the...
