    Bose Speaker Noise - Right Rear Speaker - After Regulator Change

    SO I bumped the center console at the RSE panel, and it went away. So, it may be either the RSE panel - which I was messing with or like you said the amp that is under there. I will have to further investigate. I hadn't thought of that.

    Some tips on how I saved my leather seats

    I think he is just loosening the existing dye coating with the solvent and a little color and smearing it back into the cracks. Might last for a little while if it is properly conditioned. It would definitely work if you were trying to sell your truck.

    Exhaust Cutout(s)? - Anybody?

    Cold Air intake - Ebay unit Modified ??

    Cold Air intake - Ebay unit Modified ??

    I have heard the factory air box is pretty good with a good or clean filter. Is there much of a benefit from replacing the pipe from the throttle body to the box? On that line of thinking, has anybody modified a cheap ebay CAI unit to attach the stock box to the throttle body, basically just...
