Oh fun. I did mine last year, and while it was a poopy job it wasn't that terrible. I checked the pump before I left the store and good thing too because they gave me the wrong one. The guy asked me if it was the "Z" model and I having a Z71 figures that is what he is asking and say yes...
I agree. I love this kind of custom fab work and I am missing my welder and plasma right now. I was also concerned the softer aluminum spacers might deform over time.
Sawzall? Oof. I would say I am in a mid-rust zone and I was able to get my upper and lower control arms out with just a prybar.
I do remember it being a little tricky with the upper control arm bolts because they are slotted for the camber alignment pins.
I also marked where those pins were...
When I did my pitman arm and idler arm I loosened the gearbox so I could get the pitman arm puller on it. The new pitman arm went in on the same splines, the gearbox tightened up and still my steering wheel was a few degrees off-center. Annoying. I used the tie-rods to make the final adjustment...
On a personal note I installed my remote start today and it works great. I could not, however, figure out how to wire in the lock and unlock wires. The remote start module has the basic 12v (-) wires to do lock and unlock but as far as I can tell in order to do this I have to get a canbus...
Agreed. This isn't a hard job, despite how confusing these directions read. =)
Here is the tool I bought:

I watched a 10 minute video and went and did it.
The only problem I ran into was the rust. The...
Did a passlock bypass on my Tahoe today, getting ready for a remote start install. 3 wires going into the lock cylinder that is under the steering column cover. Was super easy. Tested resistance with an multimeter. Saw 1.8K. Have a box of resisters. Tried 2k but didn't work. Got 1.8K with 3...
Finally got my heated seats working. A wire had been sheared on the passenger side wire loom on some kind of rail. See pic. Anyone know what that is for? Looks like is slides into a sensor?
Yup, the 23mm bright white ones. They are angled slightly outward to get full coverage. Those things are nice and bright, but the wires are so thin wiring them up takes a little finesse.
Yeah I mounted them flush to a metal surface in the front, but in the back that's the plastic taillight housing and I spaced it to prevent it from melting the plastic.
And lastly, in another post since there seems to be a 5-image limit to a single post...
All-on high beams. The fuse-box drop-in circuit.
Also I did the auto-fog on by jumping A5 and B2 at the under dash connector.
Here's a bunch of mods I've done over the last month or 3.
Front-side window tint. Local tint shot wanted $180 to do the front sides. I ended up getting some pre-cut tint off Amazon for $40 and installed it myself. Came out great.
Under hood LED lighting with a manual switch. I don't care...
I have some copper braid but I didn't try it. I will next time.
And yes the polarity issue is the same as with the cluster. I stuck 1 led on and then plugged it in quick to test it. Then I tested the rest by watching that one go on and off.
So I got my corvette servo and want to install it but I am very concerned about the clearance. The vids and pics I have seen all show the servo reassembled but I am having a hard time seeing how that is going to fit.
There is less than 2 fingers clearance (see pic) and I am concerned.
Is this...
Yep, same idea. The bulbs on the CC board are soldered through the board, so make sure your soldering iron has a fine tip so you can melt out the old solder through the board, then the LED pins stick right in and you solder from the back. I had to use a solder remover on some of them. (one of...
No I have a Mac, and the provided software was Windows only. I ended up using:

Which looked hard but was surprisingly easy.
Want to say thanks to OP for great info and report successfully adding Trans Temp gauge to my 05 Tahoe.
Only difference was the trans temp hex was '03' and needed to be changed to '42' which I found in some YT vids.
I ended up using:
