    Anyone “upgraded” from the tensioner style AC compressor to the stretchy belt?

    In a similar vein, I used old-school suspension shims to align the brackets/pulleys on an aftermarket serpentine system the previous owner had installed on the 401 in my '79 AMC Spirit. You can get sets on Amazon for under $15 and there will likely be more than enough 1/64", 1/32", etc. to take...

    My new daily driver, 2013 Tahoe PPV

    IMO, this is a case where proper OE bolts and any associated hardware (washers, spacers) are a must. Generic fasteners likely won't have the correct flange, shank/shoulder configuration, and bending resistance.

    What is the best way to seal headlights?

    Yes, where the clear lens meets the black housing.

    What is the best way to seal headlights?

    OE and all aftermarket lights that I know of are already sealed, but if you mean additional sealing, I'd use Windo-Weld (yes, "windo" is correct).

    Empty Spot in Overhead Console Bezel -- What's It For?

    Yep, just found a similar eBay listing and posted it above.

    Empty Spot in Overhead Console Bezel -- What's It For?

    Ah, looks as if the switches for the power-fold 2nd-row captain's chairs were in this location for years other than my '13, which has them on the C-pillars. From an eBay auction:

    Empty Spot in Overhead Console Bezel -- What's It For?

    Yes. It's controlled by switches on the black box at the bottom left labeled "JAPAN." The truck also has a power liftgate, which is the switch in the middle.

    Empty Spot in Overhead Console Bezel -- What's It For?

    Y'all, While wiring in a dashcam, I noticed this empty spot (bottom right in the pic) in the overhead console of my '13 Tahoe LTZ. As per the title, what's this spot for? It'd be good to know what switch(es) fit there in case I ever want to add some device and use this spot. Thanks, Scrappy

    Running A CVC BU60FHD Converter with Zeroed-Out Clutch Slip Target -- Any Advice/Experience?

    That'd be nice, but won't be happening unless I run across a good one in a yard. Thank you for relating your personal experience. It looks that no lockup in 1-2-3 and lockup in 5-6 are the way to go, with lockup in 4 to be determined.

    Running A CVC BU60FHD Converter with Zeroed-Out Clutch Slip Target -- Any Advice/Experience?

    I intend to only be doing reliability, longevity, and driveability upgrades. It's a daily driver that I will use for regularly pulling a small utility trailer (that I used to pull with my 4-cylinder/auto '94 Camry without issue) and infrequently pulling a moderately-sized travel trailer no...

    Universal Remote System: Can It Be Re-Wired to Ignition or RAP for Its Power Source?

    Great, that'll be fairly easy, then. Thanks!

    Universal Remote System: Can It Be Re-Wired to Ignition or RAP for Its Power Source?

    Yes.

    Universal Remote System: Can It Be Re-Wired to Ignition or RAP for Its Power Source?

    Those are valid points, but I'm just looking to minimize ease of opportunities for ne'er-do-wells. I don't think any individual piece of security is a 100% solution.

    Running A CVC BU60FHD Converter with Zeroed-Out Clutch Slip Target -- Any Advice/Experience?

    Thanks for the input, Y'all! I'd already read both of your commentaries on the subject in other threads, but appreciate Y'all repeating it here. Now I just need folks' experiences with the converter in question. Yep, cooling by cutting off half of the surface area relative to the power being...

    Running A CVC BU60FHD Converter with Zeroed-Out Clutch Slip Target -- Any Advice/Experience?

    Y'all, I will be doing a number of reliability changes/upgrades soon, including disabling AFM and prophylactically replacing the torque converter & installing a Sonnax Zip Kit. I'm leaning towards a CVC BU60FHD converter, as recommended by many here. For those who are running this...
