OEM Cargo Cover!

Found a OEM Cargo Shade in the garage while looking for something else. Been searching for awhile. This one came out of our 2000 Tahoe. Wrong color but it fits!

Pulled the Alpine Radio unit out and put the factory one back in. Became unhappy with it after a few months.

Some minor updates over the past couple months. I had to have both front hubs replaced since one of them had worn out and the dealer factory warrantied the other one at no cost! :)

I did try to check the hubs myself but couldn't get to them but did find that I was missing a sway-bar link for who knows how long.

So I needed new ones. Dealer helped me out once again. Looks like something I could have done which would have saved a few bucks but they had it is the air already for the new front hubs.

Truck rides much better, handles better, and even turns better!

I was getting condensation in the headlights and I couldn't seem to seal them any which way I tried so I removed them. That, and I couldn't find a good matching rear set that would fit a Tahoe with Cargo Doors.

Just going to have to keep the stock lights.

I had the K&N Intake kit in for a couple years now and while I swapping my headlights I noticed that the intake tube was sitting higher than it should be turned out that it had shifted and wasn't even fully attached anymore. I had to pull it off and make some adjustments to the radiator fan shroud to stop the rubbing.

As you can somewhat see it is rubbing hard of the hoses.

I gave it small clearance but to re-align it on my own was a little tough so after a week of driving it, the tube is rubbing again. Going to have to take another look at re-aligning it. :(

So I had a friend help me re-adjust the intake and this time we got it to line up correctly. I also shaved the fan shroud a bit more to give it some extra clearance to avoid rubbing! So far so good!
