    AC Delco Brake Hoses

    So Rock Auto lists the Sunsong's for $11 and the AC Delco for $25. I just don't want them charging me $25 then an AC Delco box with an $11 Sunsong hose inside shows up.

    AC Delco Brake Hoses

    I ordered AC Delco brake hoses from Amazon. They came in an AC Delco box but the hoses had Sonsun or something like that. I read the comments and several folks had received the same. I re-ordered AC Delco hoses from Rock Auto and am waiting for them. In the meantime I read online Rock Auto was...

    Can I add Bluetooth to OEM Stereo?

    Is 09 envoy the only option? What about an 09 Acadia and what type of "programming" is involved? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Oil Pressure Gauge Pegged to 80 with key on/ engine off. All the way to zero when key off

    Also interesting coincidence that when the sensor failed I got a dash warning that my tire pressure sensors failed. It showed right front and right rear out. Changed the oil sensor and my TPMS is back to normal Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Oil Pressure Gauge Pegged to 80 with key on/ engine off. All the way to zero when key off

    So I wanted to swap it out same day and AutoZone's best was a Duralast with lifetime warranty for $56. Not how I usually do things but wanted it done. As long it my hands heal up before it goes, I'm good. I've learned a couple of tips for if I ever need to do it again. Sent from my iPhone...

    Oil Pressure Gauge Pegged to 80 with key on/ engine off. All the way to zero when key off

    Had just changed my oil, went for a drive and thought I over-filled it. Just wanted to share that when deciding between the stepper motor or oil sending switch, I learned if the gauge goes to 80 when keyed on and all the way to zero when off, look for the oil switch. If 80 when keyed then...

    DFW to PCB Road Trip

    I had many cracks with very ugly yellow showing. I got a handful of white rags from Walmart. I wiped the cracked areas first with denatured alcohol to clean the cracks and surface. Using a Q-tip, I began experimenting with the 3 colors of paint. The middle tube is the "professional" grade for...

    DFW to PCB Road Trip

    While I'm on it, for my cracked seats, I got a $6 bottle of matching color acrylic paint from Michael's. Worked great! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    DFW to PCB Road Trip

    I am completely sold on my 2006 Tahoe Z71. I bought it in January just to have to pull the boat and use on weekends. Well, we ended up driving 13 hours from Dallas to Panama City Beach and 13 hours back, stopping halfway for the night in Louisiana. We averaged 70-75mph the whole time and got...

    Thoughts on Rotella oil

    Forgot to ask. Do these trucks have crush washers on the oil pan bolt? If so, any idea what size?

    Thoughts on Rotella oil

    https://rotella.shell.com/en_us/products/gas-truck-synthetic-engine-oil.html Thanks all. For my 2002 Disco with the Bosch engine, it started to leak a little oil about 4-5 years ago and maybe 160k? When I switched to Rotella, the leaks stopped, she purred like a Kitten and with 180k now, the...

    Thoughts on Rotella oil

    I picked up my '06 with about 170k on the engine in January and I only use it on weekends. About ready for my first oil change. Records indicate previous owner was using conventional oil. I have a 2002 Land Rover Discovery II with 180k that LOVES Rotella 15w 40 (T5). Thoughts on Rotella for...

    Can I add Bluetooth to OEM Stereo?

    I do have XM but haven't seen a good video or writeup on how to easily tie in an aux. Do you have anything you can paste for me? Thanks!

    Can I add Bluetooth to OEM Stereo?

    Searched the threads but no luck. I just want to connect my iPhone to the stereo speakers to have bluetooth audio for phone calls. In another car I have an AUX input where I can connect an aftermarket bluetooth. I don't want to replace the head unit, nor really care for the FM band Bluetooth...

    Anyone ever remove/replace the whole rear evaporator housing?

    Well, I must say I am surprised. I know the blend door actuators fail, but it seems not many blend doors actually break off at the shaft like mine. Would have thought having to swap out that rear evaporator housing would have been fairly common. Thanks!

    Anyone ever remove/replace the whole rear evaporator housing?

    For my broken blend door, I attempted to unclip the housing and pry it open to access the blend door. Could not make that happen. It appears that there are two nuts beneath the truck and then two screws inside the cab securing it to the sidewall. Once I pull out the evaporator from the housing...

    Rear A/C Actuator - The shaft it controls fell inside

    I was able to access the blend door by removing the evaporator from the rear assembly. Sure enough the shaft that attaches to the actuator snapped off the door. I tried to pry open the assembly to attempt to repair the shaft, but could not. So I set the door to the cold position and used a...

    Rear A/C Actuator - The shaft it controls fell inside

    My rear A/C was only blowing hot, so I removed the actuator that controls the temperature to inspect it. I then manually turned the little plastic shaft that sticks out of the assembly to see if I could manually switch the air to cold. In the process the plastic piece pushed inward and dropped...

    Aftermarket Gas Gauge. How to install?

    I replaced the stepper motor in my truck. I watched the Youtube video and then did it in less than 30 minutes. The part is $7 for the Stepper motor. I had the soldering iron, but ordered an inexpensive solder sucker. Was not bad at all. Having a dental pick is nice for unsnapping the plastic...

    Fuel gauge stepper motor?

    I installed this and then went back and ordered 2 more for spares. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KWRHVM6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
