    Looking for low cost replacement for stereo head unit in 2003 Tahoe LS...

    Finally replaced OEM CD/cassette receiver with Kenwood Unit. Got it at Crutchfield with the kit and pre-wired harness for little over $200. Install was pretty easy - especially since my son did almost all the work - needed one call to customer support and rep fixed issue.

    Any tips for repainting front part of hood?

    Thanks for the tips. I know the front will not perfectly match rest of hood, but can’t look worse than it is currently. Certainly not taking it down to bare metal.

    Asked my mechanic if there was a issue with this brake cable drooping. Said it was normal, but I haven’t seen any it on other similar age Tahoes or Yukons. Don’t take 2WD off road, any reason to worry?

    Looking for low cost replacement for stereo head unit in 2003 Tahoe LS...

    Thanks. Two votes for Crutchfield. That Boss is the one I picked because of apple carplay. Was taking off the dash as simple as they show it on YouTube?

    Initial use of AT-205 in engine oil to stop likely RMS leak not successful...

    I've been told by mechanic that I have an RMS leak - with the corresponding big labor costs to replace. Decided to go the AT-205 route, hoping for cheap fix. Still leaking. Worth it to continue with another dose of the additive at the next oil change?
