    I'm kind of thinking this all over and it might just be easier to replace the whole Diff. I can get a new one for around $800 on rockauto or find something cheaper on eBay. I am looking around right now.

    Spotlight bulb part number?

    Hello, I am looking to replace the spotlight bulb since it blew out the other day. There was a part number on it and I went to clean the dirt off and it took the number with it. Can this be replaced with an LED bulb or does it need to stay a sealed bulb?

    Water Pooling on Driver Side Footwell- 2010 SSV

    In my SSV Tahoe, I found water leaking and pooling in the bottom A-pillar area. So I took a drill and a drill bit and drilled a drain hole. I did seal up the light area with silicon. I really need to check that area atfer a heavy rain and see if it still leaks. I haven't check it for a long time.
