    TVS for a high mileage DD, am I crazy?

    MY '05 Tahoe just clicked 100k miles this week and with my new job, I'm driving about 25k mi/yr. Right now, it's completely stock. Am I crazy for thinking about a Maggie TVS kit, custom tune, and mildly building the trans (for reliability) considering the miles I'm going to put on it? I...

    Gas tank size? I think my gauge is lying to me

    2005 Tahoe Z71 here.. all sources I see say that we have 26gal tanks. Since I've owned the truck (2 years), when the gauge hits E, I can put 18-19gallons in the tank. Does it really have another ~7 left? I've been debating throwing a 5gal jug in the back and seeing how far the truck will go...

    Loose steering column

    I bought my 2005 Z71 about a year ago with 80k miles.. It now has 95 and is going strong. One on going issue I have is a "clanging" sound when i go over bumps or uneven road surfaces. It is coming from under the dash and is fairly solid sound.. i.e., it sounds like two fairly solid pieces of...

    Stupidity is painful.. broke a connector. Ideas?

    Yea, without the latch to hold the plug in place, I believe 1 or 2 pins aren't connecting which is causing the driver door lock actuator to not work. If I push the plug in and try the locks, the driver's door works fine. So yea, need the gray arm to lock on both sides. :o I'll see if I can...

    Stupidity is painful.. broke a connector. Ideas?

    Oh.. the issue I'm having is that all the controls work except for the lock/unlock switch on the driver's door. It will open/shut the other doors, but I've lost auto control over the driver's door. :Angry:

    Stupidity is painful.. broke a connector. Ideas?

    I just installed new speakers in all the doors. Unfortunately, when I was disconnecting the connections on the driver's side door panel, I broke the plastic locking mechanism on the large main connector (16 pin?). This is the one where you insert the plug, then rotate the gray locking arm to...

    Replacement Carpet for 06

    For anyone who searches and finds this thread, I just installed carpet with mass backing from www.stockinteriors.com and am very satisfied with the product/results. When I get a chance I'll take a few pics and make a thread, but I mean... carpet is carpet :) It was relatively easy to install...

    I wanna put a iPad in my dash.

    So when you play videos on your tab, does the sound go through the head unit and the car speakers?

    Got all my stuff, few questions on wiring

    Yea, I'm no audiophile, I just want the system to sound pretty good when I'm done considering how much money I've got in it at this point. The JBL tech sounded like he knew what he was talking about and basically told me the combo would not work. I think I'll hook it all up and go. If it's...

    Got all my stuff, few questions on wiring

    Ok.. I think I'll wire them off the internal amp and see how it goes. I called JBL tech support to inquire about the tablet as a source unit and they guy made it sound like a terrible idea. He said that tablets have a headphone amplifier (small, but it's there) that will make for a poor...

    A/C power outlet install?

    Has anyone installed power outlets in their truck? Right now I have a cheap portable inverter, but would like to do something more permanent/custom. I'm not sure I have the skill, but I'd like to use the small area on the back of the console that (currently) has audio controls for the DVD...
