What did you do to your 2015-2020 K2XX Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[pwtr02ss]

The knee bolster in my ‘19 as well…. EVERY DAMN time i drive it and my wife is playing passenger princess i say… you dont hear that?

There has got to be something wrong with me in that that every vehicle i get into i have to find the source of whatever is rattling as i drive or ill go nuts…its so annoying to have a rattling or tap or whatever to the point when my kids used snap the airpod case closed id give them a look….lolol

Something in my headliner squeaks when the temps are cold. I can push up, just to the left of the sun roof and it quits. Been that way since I bought it. Prob need to investigate that at some point. Rattles and squeaks drive me nuts too

Front struts today… id say mine were toasted….did new oem springs on oem struts since springs were cheap enough and got my ride height back up and now I dont have to listen to the tire rub the fender liner when i back out of the garage anymore

Getting that little purple lock out of the connector was the hardest part.

Work good? Last time I did the avalanche, I used some sketchy shit. I've been looking for a better setup

For $50 i think so. Nothing slipped or moved, easy to set up and use. I even ditched the semi circle safety ring it came with because i didn’t feel it needed it. I even accidentally tripped and kicked the whole setup almost across the garage floor after i installed on the old spring after i impacted it down. Felt very confident that nothing was gonna break. I ordered 2 sets thinking ill use 3 of the things just to be safe and sure but after opening and setting up the first set i didnt open the second box and returned it.

Awesome. Thanks for the link

Got some machined aluminum knob covers for a little more upscale look and a black/chrome bow tie overlay for the steering wheel emblem. The only gold on the truck annoyed me.

I was wonder who would notice the forum home page on the screen.

Carlinkit Tbox Plus Android 13.0 Carlinkit AI Box-Wireless Apple Carpl

Carlinkit Tbox Plus is the world's most popular CarPlay AI box. With plenty of memory, you can effortlessly watch YouTube, Netflix, or TikTok right on your car's screen. It's smooth, easy, and perfect for on-the-go entertainment.

autokitcarplay.com

It is a puck that does wireless Android Auto/Carplay and is a stand alone Android device with a slot for sim card and micro USB. Basically turns the head unit into a tablet. YouTube, Netflix, Chrome. Any app you could run on a tablet works. It also bypasses the in gear lockout. Its on Amazon but cheaper from the manufacturer.

Any complaints? I bought my wife a wireless dongle for her car a few years ago but it was a piece of junk. Other devices had similar reviews at the time. I haven’t revisited the idea since then but I’m hoping the tech has improved since I last tried.

And does it broadcast on the rear screen too? Would love to find a way to stream.. I have a 2015 so I still have the RCA cables not hdmi.

I've had mine for two years and it works well, sometimes the Android auto is funny with texts. For the purpose that I got it, streaming for the front passenger, it works great. Having an SD card slot also is great for loading up music or videos that play from the dongle. The DVD payers and screens are in the front row head rests in my truck, so I don't know about showing on the rear screen

headrest screens a factory option or did you add those? Kids are getting older and we’re traveling more

I have a hdd in the truck that I plug in occasionally and plays videos but if I don’t keep it up to date they get bored quick.

 

[tuckerrnr1]

Factory, one of the reasons I wanted THIS truck was LTZ, no sunroof, head rest entertainment. I didn't want the billboard blocking my rear view. These can play different DVDs or mirror each other.

Thanks. I might look into this further. I rarely used the screen but you just reminded me how much I dislike the flip down screen because it obstructs so much of my mirror.

Washed her up yesterday and notice this space on bottom of the fin gasket. Is this normal? I’m not getting any wetness inside but I’m looking at it and wondering why not? Could the fact I keep it garaged be hiding a problem down the line.

Yes, both my trucks have that option in the same spot.

I’m the second owner so I haven't learned all the “options” yet I’ve read about them leaking at the fin so it caught my eye.

My ‘19 yuk sits in garage and hasn’t leaked yet and since buying said ‘19 in dec of ‘18 the ‘13 hoe was banished to the driveway but was the garage queen until banishment and it still hasn’t leaked so i guess the ‘option’ is done purposely by the good folks at GM…. Who am i to argue…
