    Oh God! Strange noise

    Can you replicate it when you cycle the AC compressor? In the morning start the truck and turn on the AC (defrost should work too) when everything is still cold and see if makes the noise. If it doesn't, cycle it again to activate the compressor clutch when it has warmed up (the truck) and see...

    Another 2/3-4 07 up truck. Before/after pics

    Do I just air-up the bags when I need to pull?

    Another 2/3-4 07 up truck. Before/after pics

    Looks great and its definitely on the "soon" part of my "to-do" list. How does the kit affect towing capacity? For the immediate future I can't see the need to tow more than #3000 lbs... Do I need to bag it to keep it able?

    Strange Remote Start Issue

    Hey Matt, welcome. You mentioned shoddy wiring- is your remote start aftermarket or the factory/dealer add-on which is just programming and new key-fobs? We're having issues with the factory add-on.

    If they are genetic shouldn't they be "genes?" Sorry, couldn't resist....

    roof rack crossbar removal

    Got it! What I was missing was both screws had to be removed and the entire base unit taken off. Just the cover/trim comes off with the NBS. Thanks guys :Handshake: And were you as pissed off as me that the factory saved $0.10 a truck by not putting a rubber gasket beneath the unit (like...

    roof rack crossbar removal

    I'm guessing its on the front of the rear assembly? Thanks guys.

    roof rack crossbar removal

    I took out one of the screws from the rear in an attempt to do that but instead of the plastic coming off, it was trying to take EVERYTHING off. I could not see how to separate the plastic cover from the base assembly and sure as hell don't want to break it. The way the cover seems to wrap...

    roof rack crossbar removal

    I hope this isn't a stupid question but after a quick look last night I couldn't figure it out. How do I remove the roof-rack crossbars on my 08 LT? On my 02 I just removed the rear trim cap and slid them both back and out/off. I tried that on the new one and found real quick it wasn't going...

    My BIG Audio Project!

    Looks great. Did you design for sound quality or SPL?

    Ok gloves are coming off!!!

    Trash on the paint accumulated from shipping/storage between the factory and final delivery. It starts to rust on top of the clear coat. It does come off with just a little effort.

    Dropping my 07 hoe

    That looks good. I wonder how it'd look with 20's....

    GM mud guards

    $90! Damn, they are proud of them, aren't they! I was thinking about putting a set on mine... Hate how they look, love the protection they offer.

    20mpg average possible?

    I'm only on my third tank of fuel for the 08 (5.3, 2WD). First tank- lots of stop and go was 17.5 mpg, second tank - interstate and 2 lane highway through the rolling hills of VA - an amazing 21.1 mpg. Third tank is showing an average of 19.5 right now but I'll see what it really was when I...

    New 02' Tahoe owner!

    yeah, what he said- 58K is outstanding! My 02 has rolled past 205K and is still going strong. Congrats- they're great trucks. I just got an 08 and still love my 02. I was going to sell the 02 but both the wife and I said "forget it- we're keeping it!"

    Plasti-Dipped my Woodgrain trim for $5.99!:)

    Yep. Just curious about how durable it will remain over time. I'd hate for it to match my steering wheel trim in a couple months!!! :emotions122: If I get my buddy to spray the parts he'll be able to use an adhesion promoter and hardener to keep the finish looking good.... It'll be more...

    Plasti-Dipped my Woodgrain trim for $5.99!:)

    That looks damn good for what you have into it. I need to get rid of my woodgrain. This is an option if it wears well/lasts. I have a buddy that paints and was thinking of bringing the parts to him to spray.

    Got it!

    That was the only thing I didn't like about the one I just bought. Definitely driven by a smoker. I've used two odor killers and treated the vents so far. I'll know how much better it is next sunny day. I've got one small burn in the passenger seat but am going with the katzkins this year so...

    Got it!

    MTX and JL Audio both have boxes with 10" subs that fit inside the center console (after you remove the 6" bose unit). I'll probably try one of those myself. I heard the sound quality isn't the best as they are fiberglass/plastic construction but I don't want a box in the back like I have in...

    Got it!

    LOL- I took mine off the first weekend. Its quieter on the interstate now too- less wind noise. ---------- Post added at 08:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 AM ---------- How can you call anything with that many nuts a she??? :Big Laugh:

    Strange Remote Start Issue

    When I remote start it, by the time I get in the truck (5-10 mins), the windshield is defrosted, the air blowing IS warm and the cabin is toasty. I don't have the auto heat/air on my LT, just the basic dual-zone dials. ---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM...

    Strange Remote Start Issue

    I had the dealer install the factory remote start in my 08 LT. It works really well with one exception- the heater doesn't always seem to come on with the remote start. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. There's not a ton of sense pre-starting the truck if the effin thing isn't heating...

    Speed stops at 99

    174 mph on a Ninja ZX-9R (a bunch of times, that was as fast as it would go). But that was a longggg time ago. Now with a "career", wife, kids and mortgage (and a cdl to protect), that shit ain't happening- too much to lose if I get caught. In NC, getting convicted of 15 mph over the posted...
