Used to crank down one of these before every PFT run.

I like the Tahoe lights way more than the Hybrids (Also can run the White D Pillars).
Fun Fact..I've own this truck less than a year and this is its 4th set of taillights lol.
Full Lasfit LEDs fitted with Load Resistors on the bottom. I do plan on modifying the harness in the spring so that the bottom or top light is the running light at night. I'll snag some harnesses from the junkyard to test out my plans before hacking up the one in the truck.

I silicone sprayed my brake pedal pivot as per @Doubeleive's instructions.
No more squeek!

I also regreased the pedal pushrod end.
The old grease was dried up but didn't squeek.

Now to attach something fabric to the seat side bolsters (or console lid) so they don't squeak against each other.

Isn't there rubber stoppers on the inside of console lid? otherwise any kind of felt will work

Side quest while I’m fixing up the front end. The clear was starting to peel on these aftermarket housings after about 4 years. Sanded all the clear off with 400, 600 and 800 wet and will spray with spraymax 2k 2in1 headlight clear coat probably Friday

What happens is, when I lean towards the center of the truck or shift around in my seat...
..the seat rubs on the console, and those two vinyl surfaces squeak.

Maybe a console cover that's made of fabric oughta do it...

The Spraymax is awesome! I did the headlights on my old Camry and my girlfriend's old Prius and it still looked new three years afterwards (unfortunately, both were totaled, so I can't give an update).

A couple of things:

* I'm sure you already know, but you absolutely need to use a proper respirator with this stuff.

* 800-grit is too coarse, IMO. When I've done it, I've gone up to 2500. YMMV.

I had the same issue on my '86 BMW 535i, along with the seat belt latch rattling on the console on the passenger side when unoccupied. I used the fuzzy half of Velcro to take care of both problems.

If the foam seat cushion is rubbing that far out, it's probably time to replace the foam before the seat cover starts creasing and cracking.

It's the backrest of the seat that rubs the console lid, not the cushion!

There's less than a 1/4" gap, but if I lean or shift around in the seat, it makes contact and gives me a squeak.

The console lid getting leaned on does squeak from the rubber feet as well..

yeah I was going to use a respirator. Personally I think the clear needs a more coarse finish to bite into, to not risk delamination/peeling later on. I figured it's similar to how we painted our old truck. I believe that the ultra fine grits are for finishing only. That clear should fill in all the scratches left by the 800 and smooth everything out. I've seen a bunch of people also have great results going up to 800

Gotcha gotcha.

 

[mikez71]

Entire center console is squeaky!

Leaning on the center of it squeaks on the lid, squeaks from the rubber bumpers, and the console shifting at the base also squeaks...

I have the AutoCAL V3, and was wondering if I could see the live data, or a log. I haven't really played around with the logs to see if I could load them and observe. Or, is the BlackBear stuff locked down for viewing?

I asked Justin in person and he said he does not lock his tunes. I had them tune a 98 Suburban after a rebuild 3 years ago.

I use the fuzzy side if 3m velcro to stop things rubbing that squeak. works pretty well

old gm plastic squeaks will drive you crazy lol. I chase them for a while, if I don't fine it. I give up. and get back around to it. if not I'd. end up tearing the whole thing apart haha. I have something in a drivers side rear door that has a rattle/squeak. I can't figure it out. driving and if I hop in the back with someone else driving it doesn't so it. ugh.


the mainly bother me at 4am half asleep zombie mode on the way to work.

The amount of rattles in my Yukon drive me nuts..but at this point the only way to fix it is to tear the whole dash out lol

I just recently replaced that front part by the windshield with the Dorman one. my dash has a few cracks in it too. while off I mixed some epoxy up, cut up some popsicle sticks. put masking tape on the popsicle sticks, loaded it up epoxy. reaches back up under and stuck them across the cracks. hoping the tape would hold it up while it dried. also removed the middle speaker and glued up the cracks there too. left the speaker out. it's kinda ridiculous how heavy that is to not have any support. Just hanging on brittle plastic all these years.

then popped the new panel in. after it all dried the next day. I was pretty surprised how solid it was and has less rattles and stuff for the low effort.

if yours is cracked all up. it might be worth a try.

I'll honestly just hotglue the sticks ontop of the dash cuz I already have a dash pad over it now. Theres a couple holes in the dash so its not gonna look good either way I do it. I dont have a middle speaker but everything else is shattered.
