    2015 Genesis...no more Tahoe :(

    @iamdub reminded me there's an "other vehicles" thread. But first, my Tahoe history so everyone knows why I keep hanging around here (more on that later). Back in 2004 I had a new Ford F150. Loved it, but I'd always wanted one of the 2 door 4WD Tahoes. Always thought they were some of the...

    Range AFM Disabler for Sale!

    Why the exclamation mark? Well, my friends...let me tell you. This device will stop the horrible act of switching from 8 cylinders to 4. Research and find out why that's a bad thing. This particular accessory is for the 2007 - 2014 model years. Once you plug this into the OBD II port...

    Rattle, not sure if it's inside or out.

    Past the point of insanity here. Has me car shopping. Have tried for 3 months to no avail. Due to the vast amount of road and wind noise this thing has, I can't pinpoint it. Even when someone else is driving and I'm in the back trying to find it. I can do something about the road noise, but...

    Base Radio Front Speaker Wiring.

    Anyone know what the wiring setup is with a non-bose system that has tweeters in the A-pillars? What I need to know is, is there a full range signal going to just the door speaker? So if I disconnect the A-pillar tweet and put a coaxial speaker in the door, I'll get a full signal to that lone...

    Low Frequency Road Noise Hunting.

    Yesterday in someone else's thread asking about getting an improvement in their sound system, I posted the graph below as an example of how one noise can overpower others. The measurement was taken yesterday in an effort to have some data and a starting point on why my ears ring after even...

    Help Request with Carpet.

    Would any of you be so kind as to pull up a door sill and see if your factory carpet has a backing on it for me? And how thick it is? And is there any other type of insulation on the floor besides a carpet pad (jute)? By backing I'm talking about what would appear to be rubber (or mass loaded...

    LT vs SSV (quick comparison).

    First, a little anecdote regarding the difference between men and some woman when it comes to all things automotive. About 7 weeks ago I bought a 2010 SSV Tahoe. Previous park ranger vehicle, then civilianized by a second party. I'm the third owner. 113K miles after today's short 250 mile...

    Remove 2nd Row Overhead Console?

    What's the proper way to remove this? You can see it's hanging in the front corner and I need to get in there to see how to fix it. I took the clear light covering off but don't see any clips or screws....

    Possible Cat Converter Problem.

    Noticed I'm getting the telltale rotten egg smell (no matter where I got fuel) when I get out of my 2010 Tahoe (113K miles). More worrisome is that I've smelled it inside while driving 70mph. I was quick to blame my daughter but I knew what the smell really was. I've never messed with exhaust...

    Use for Door Lock Knob.

    Wasn't sure if this belonged in the Interior section or Performance since it qualifies for both. If anyone has an extra lock knob lying around, it's perfect for a quick cigar holder while you work...

    Factory Sound Insulation?

    Anyone know if it's the same across all the various models from PPV's to LTZ's? In other words, is the interior of an LTZ more quiet than any others, and if so, how'd they do it? I have an SSV that is louder than I think it should be having ridden in other Tahoes. It has carpet/padding, but I...

    SSV front shocks/struts?

    I've seen where the PPV front suspension is different in some way, which is making me unsure as to what I'm shopping around for with regards to my SSV. My question is, if I'm going to replace the front struts on my 4WD SSV (not PPV), should I be shopping/researching the same ones used in a...
