Well progress on everything, but no pics (yet). As far as the in car entertainment, these screens won't work. The aspect ratio is wrong, so everything is oval instead of being round. The resolution is 1920x1080, but realistically it should have been 1920x1280 or something like that. I ordered a different set that should be here today, here's hoping. I did disassemble the seats a bit and run the power\HDMI through them, along with a lot of work in the console itself. Mainly to test out the functionality of it all. It all works like it should, with the exception of the USB-C dock. It works fine for the ROG Ally, but not the Switch. I guess there is only one dock that works with the Ally\Legion\Steam Deck and the Switch. It should be delivered today, too.
I did order a different set of headrest screens that are actually bigger, but I think they'll have the right aspect ratio. The current screens are 13.5", new ones are 15.6". Once I confirm everything works as it should, I'll be "permanently" installing the 100W PD charger, screen's power, the dock, USB-C passthrough, all that fun stuff.
About another topic. End of last week, a clunk started showing up when I slowly rolled down a curb\ramp\etc. at an angle. My son and daughter both hung their heads out the window and said it came from the front, and it sounded like it came from the front inside the cab. Since the last thing we did was the front sway bar, we started looking at end links. With Moog front end links, there are quite a few different installation instructions out there, some with torque specs, some without. We tried all of them to no avail. Fed up, I jacked up the front driver side and showed my son how to check suspension stuff. I have a little bit (1\8" or so) of play in the wheel bearing, or at 9:6 and 3:9. So I ordered new hub assemblies. Last night I went for a drive and could not accept that it was a bearing. I've dealt with too many hub assemblies, I know what they sound like.
When I got home from that drive I popped the hood and rocked the Yukon back and forth. HARD. Previously when I did that, there was no noise...but I wasn't rocking it that hard. It took both my son and my wife rocking it back and forth to get it make the noise while I was under it. Turns out it was the damned rear sway bar end link. When we installed them, I Googled the torque spec and numerous results gave me 17 ft lbs. I checked the service manual and it's actually 48 ft Lb.s +40*. Quite the difference, and made the clunk go away. You know that Abraham Lincoln quote, "Just because it's on the internet doesn't mean it's true."? He was right.
Just to end this out, I ordered a magnetic drain bolt for the oil change my son will be doing (on his own) tonight or tomorrow...This is the fanciest damned oil plug I have ever seen. I halfway want to throw this thing on a CMM and measure it at work to see how accurate it was machined to.
I'll be getting pics of the actual (and hopefully final) install for the screens as they happen, just wanted to update the thread.
