    Rear AC comes on by itself? normal?

    Ill have my AC selector knob off and out of the blue my rear AC will kick on all by itself, the light will illuminate on the aux button. Does it have a thermostat? My AC pump also seems to kick on when on defrost selection. (no light on snowflake)

    Part Identification please....

    I was peering behind my grill today and noticed a very small "cooler" looking apparatus on the drivers side just left of the headlight. Looks like a tiny cooler of some sort. Anyone know what it is?

    AC repair advice please.....

    When I turn on my AC it robs me of power. To be more specific, when the AC is on and Im driving there is a substantial power loss of about 15-20% when the AC clutch kicks in. Its very annoying, pressing on the gas and it not responding the way it usually does when the AC is off. I know some...

    archoil...........Anyone try it?

    Im not into oil additives and have always been in the solid belief that OIL is the best thing to put into your crankcase. I've always passed on the snake oil additives but my neighbor who is a retired aircraft repairman and muscle car owner/enthusiast recently introduced me to a product called...

    SSV or not?

    How can one tell if they have a SSV Tahoe? I have a "GAM" RPO code and this designates it as a "Government vehicle", is that the same thing? It also came with a push bumper with accessory lighting but I took it off after I bought it.

    Help me understand the Traction Control, Stabilitrak bypass...

    Ok, so I think I have the basic concept down as to what traction control is and what Stabilitrak does. I understand that by pressing the T/C button (disabling it) my tires will spin freely in the snow without the computer stopping them like it would if the system were left on. Is this correct...

    Driver door only wont lock/unlock with fob.

    First off its cold, 10 degrees outside. I went out to unlock my door to start my truck and at first I thought that my drivers door was just frozen shut. I could hear the actuators work when I pressed un/lock on the fob. Turns out that the drivers side door lock knob isn't moving at all like the...

    Wheel weights----ADHESIVE vs CLIP ON---

    Bought tires at Costco and when they mounted them to my after market Fuel rims they used clip-on style weights instead of adhesive style weights. Which ones work better? I go off-road every once in a while and live in a cold weather climate so clip on weights sound like the better option...

    GRIPPY FOB Tutorial

    Dont know about you, but my Fob is the biggest thing on my key ring and is often the main handle or "thing" I hold on to while carrying my keys. With that said, I've lost grip of my keys more than Id like to admit; I refuse to attribute this to getting older...must be dry hands:) Either way...

    Exhaust tip placement? ...side, down or strait out?

    Getting ready to have a new muffler welded on with a resonator delete. Any advantages to the direction I choose to face my exhaust tip? Strait out the back? Out the side? Downward? Any reasons to choose one over the other? Should I get an exhaust tip? Does it matter?

    Secret stash drawer..Shhhh,...Its a Secret!...

    --Secret compartment build and Jump seat to console swap-- The day I bought my Tahoe I folded down the console on the jump seat and never looked back. I love the cup holders and storage nook but always hated the unused area on the floorboard in front of the jump seat. I've always wanted to...

    How to tell if my Tahoe has active brake control or not?

    I came across this while looking up brake pads.. Is it safe to say that If you have a traction control switch to turn traction control on and off then you do not have active brake control? Would this be correct?

    Antennas sticking outa my tires!

    I hate TPMS. I like the idea of it and in a perfect world they would work all the time reliably and dependably. But they dont, at least not in my experience. My objectivity is mostly due to the performance of them (or lack there of) because of where I live (Alaska). Its not out of the ordinary...
