which door seals did you put in and did they make a difference in terms of wind noise?

The weatherstripping/seals on my Suburban aren't in great shape and I'm pretty sure they're a contributing factor to the very loud road noise I have at 50+ mph. I might be too cheap to spend $200+ on the full seal replacement though...

I did all the door seals, but I was doing it to try and get rid of rain water in my dashboard. Haven't fixed that so I'm not sure where it's coming from just yet, but the wind noise is non-existent aside from my mirrors. In fact you kind of have to slam the door in order to make sure it shuts.

Can't decide if I want to take the scenic route or not, scenic route is shorter but takes longer View attachment 297301View attachment 297302

Yeah, don't bother with 80

Finished the @##&&-+&& cheap fence project. Since pleasant day out, with 90+ degrees, and 60% humidity.

oh, I did manage to swap an AC actuator in theothertwin too. S9 there is that.

That one I linked is sold by ac delco, rockauto wants $100 more for the same part, it's your money

World parts direct is AcDelco? Not being a smart ass

ive had problems in the past with amazon sending knockoff parts. I looked at those and they aren't sold by amazon. I'm afraid to take the chance on them. Thank you for taking the time to link them though..

I've been reading quite a bit and it appears the cardone brand are the same axles as carquest, Napa, and Duralast. I think I'm going to spend a little more money and buy from advance auto over rockauto and see how it goes. It's easier to go 5 min to the parts store and grab it than to wait. If I have a problem (I'm sure I will eventually), I can drive to store and warranty it vs waiting on shipping. If they are shit, I'll buy oem and take it as a lesson learned.

Advance has some real good online discount codes often.

 

[Rocket Man]

oem should only be about $150, this should be the one check fitment, I checked and it say's 07-13 avalanche among others

I noticed that is sold by Worldpartsdirect. I have a note to myself to not buy from them but I have them listed as an EBay seller. I don’t remember how they screwed me but they must have really ripped me off. I don’t have notes on any other sellers but them but I won’t buy from them for some reason. Just a warning to anybody thinking about giving them money.

I saw those on amazon when I was looking, prior to him linking it. Being that they are $100 cheaper than anyone else, I had to assume they were knockoffs. I rarely buy anything from amazon that's a gm part because of so much fake shit.

Yes. With promo, they are $100. That's $25 more than rockauto going with the cardone that @George B recommended. That's probably the route I'll take, just for the simplicity. If they turn out to be a pos, I'll buy the oem from rockauto and have a $100 lesson in being cheap. I figure they must sell millions of them and if they are completely garbage, they wouldn't keep selling them. Hell, prior to the internet, you always (mostly) bought what the parts store sold. Dealer prices were crazy. I forget that sometimes

 

[Rocket Man]

Yeah, I'm weird.
I like the way cedar looks when it ages to a nice grey.
I would never seal it unless i had a requirement for it to look pretty.

My old man neighbor does not, I just roll my eyes at him and just keep telling him NO I won't go in with a chain-link fence.

Crazy people before me tried to paint the freaking cedar...
I stripped that crap off.

I used to think that too until this last go-around. I needed to replace some of the boards and had already done so on part of it years ago so there was about 3 different shades of grey. No not 50 shades lol. So I bleached the old and then used a clear stain on everything and it looks so good I wish I’d stained it years ago.

If it’s sold by Amazon it’s good, it’s just their third party sellers that are the problem. They kick them off their platform all the time but there’s new ones to take their place.

That's a good idea to keep notes.
There is one seller that i keep trying to buy a tube of motoseal.
First attempt they never sent it.
But that was during rona.

Second attempt, they sent me a totally random item off of their shelf instead.
What did they send me? A 80s tbi rebuild kit...

I read over there reviews no complaints of fake parts, mostly any complaints were slow shipping, I am wary of buying fake oem parts off of amazon, ebay, etc but that is mostly for small easy to replicate stuff like knock sensors for instance. there ebay reviews were about the same, mostly slow shipping.
not sure why this generation cv axles leak, I already had to replace one at about 100k, on my nbs I never had to replace one and I drove the literal piss out of it to 312k
same with the brake calipers had both the front ones leak before 100k

IIRC the reason I took a note to not buy from them is they never shipped my part and wouldn’t return messages when I tried to find out when the parts would ship. I think it was over a month and they still had my money and hadn’t shipped.

I take no responsibility for it if it’s crap.

I'm a big boy. I take full responsibility Thanks for taking the time tho. Helped a lot to hear of a good experience with a product. Like I said before, after a ton of reading, all the parts stores house brand are reboxed cardone. Hopefully I have good luck with it

3rd review down mentions fake part. It could be legitimate. I'm just not comfortable with it.

my driver side is fine at 200k. I replaced the boot on passenger about 60k ago. It had a small lake for past few years though. Finally blew its load Friday.

 

[Bigkevschopshop]

Found an 03 today... Going to take a look in a a few hours.... 227k miles but Ive been wanting another one of these... Take it apart and bulletproof everything... cam. stall. lower it then sell the denali...

 

[avalonandl]

What can i use to clean up my wheels on my denali?

 

[Bigkevschopshop]

Id suggest getting some kind of wheel cleaner that has iron remover in it for beginners..

Actually Wal mart has chemical guys stuff that works well on that. Spray on and scrub off... Then use some polish of some kind to brighten up the surface, should work wonders....
