I can't find the one for my 4 button.The buttons on the dorman stick out further and don't have the bulge or recess like the OE one, but it's a spare so I don't care.
OE on left, Dorman on right

Ordered a used OE on Ebay for $15.00 Delivered. will swap my board and membrane over. I hope the case is good.Let us know what you get.
that's why it's called a upgrade, I changed my oem one like that on the 18 to a AJT designs, flat blackGuess if a blingy chrome key fob is your thing, that's $40 more than the dorman to hang out in your pocket
I will let you know shortly, my amazon order was just delivered and when i get home ill look. I was also skeptical when i got some from Amazon last year or 2 yrs ago because they weren’t wrapped in clear plastic like they used to be… apparently k&n is saving the planet by not using plastic anymore…. I liked the wrap because you knew no debris or whatever could be in the filter unless it came from the factory and we all know how easily oil filter boxes open for some reason….Changed the oil yesterday. Ordered some more KnN filters thinking i was out. Anyone else noticed the change in design? The new filter is a bit shorter and it has more holes near the gasket. New and old filter were bought on amazon

No idea on the hood strut. I can't recall what my 2010 D'max had under there. I wonder why some have a grounding wire, and some don't.What 2nd battery system did you install? I have the Hellroaring Primary/Backup Battery system. Also, why do some hoods have the hood lift strut and springs and some do not? My suburban does not have the hood lift strut.
I used the black and maybe 6-7ft of red.Great post!No idea on the hood strut. I can't recall what my 2010 D'max had under there. I wonder why some have a grounding wire, and some don't.
Anyway, I used this cheap-o Amazon version for the battery isolator. It looks just like the more popular Keyline one, but costs 1/2 as much. And it had like 12ft of red wire, and only 2ft of black.I used the black and maybe 6-7ft of red.
Today I added the RC-knockoff 2" lower strut leveling block. Took most of the day, but that was with teaching my nephew all along the way (frustrating at times, but gotta guide the youngsters).

One the passenger side my CV boot has a small tear, and grease was all over. So now I'm shopping for boots/axles. $25 for a boot kit vs. $70+ for a whole new axle.... I mean, the labor is the real cost, and I'll be doing that myself, and the whole CV is [probably...?] less messy, thus saving my labor/cleanup.... Hm....

Just a quick snap when we stopped to grab a burger after wrapping up. Man, you can barely even tell I had side moldings on there....<sigh> Eraser wheel/buffing kit is on the way, and you can actually see the tube with the new slim BSMs in the rear window. That's the coming weekend's project. Tomorrow I need to get the wipers/arms back on, before the storm arrives. Also really need to align my headlamps with the higher nose.

DOH! It’s there. I must have been thinking of one of our other cars.I don't recall ever seeing a gmt900 without a hood strut
Doh! It’s there.hybrids that have aluminum hoods only use the springs iirc
seems to be a pricing glitch what exactly is the make/model/engine size/year you are looking under?
that might be helpful
Took the tahoe out to my little patch of worthless desert and had a decent time.
Going from the jeep wrangler to the tahoe really shows how much more power and how much more comfortable it is.
On the way up there i noted something that keeps showing its ugly head.
Oil pressure fluctuating after several hours of highway driving.
I always assumed it was my stupid lifters sucking the oil pan dry and me getting some air in there.
Adding a little extra oil seemed to reduce it but then i notice a lower overall oil pressure after hours of driving, and less pressure rise.
Then while hauling the boat home, i discussed the issue with the father in law since it started happening.
Later youtube suddenly suggested a video explaining that over filling the pan in an ls can result in lower oil pressure due to foaming.
So i figured I'll bite, time to change the oil and switch to synthetic anyways.
So changed the oil,
And i didn't hit the top full line on the fill this time around.
Instead i targeted right in the middle of the full area.
Result was much better oil pressure and better oil pressure rise!!
Doing driving around the issue disappeared completely.
Until yesterday.
Right at the end of a two hour drive at anout 2k rpm the oil pressure started fluctuating.
Sitting a little over 40 on the gauge, it would dip down under it a bit, then go back over 40, sit there for a bit and then do it again.
Downshift to get the rpm back up and the pressure rise was good and solid, but back down and it returned?!?
I think its time for me to install a mechanical oil pressure gauge on one of the ports on the side of the block so i can see if it's doing it on both gauges...
I also got the bright idea to stop for a bit, let the oil settle with the engine off, but not long enough to allow the engine to cool off to see if that helped.
The answer was nope.
I also noticed it seems to happen when my voltage is up past the 14v mark...
So I'm not ruling out a possible alternator issue that shows up after several hours of driving...
I love the tahoe, but i also want it to catch fire sometimes... lol
On a happy note, it's fkn quick in those canyons.
I'm still loving the 6.0

I'm super behind but mine started fluctuating only on long hour plus road trips.. it was to fast to actually be a reading. oil is thick, I can't really flicker like a light bulb. it was the new "oem" sensor I had just put in from Amazon few 1000 miles earlier. replaced it with a dealer sensor and all fixed for a good 15k at this point. I'm convinced the Amazon oem is a counterfeit.
well fuckaduck guess the sound........
Cat rattle? Or rod bearing...well fuckaduck guess the sound........
bingo! funny thing the drivers side did the exact same thing 6 months ago, finally get the cat code to go away and the passenger side cat breaks apartChunks of catalyst rattling in the case?

thankfully not the later....Cat rattle? Or rod bearing...
