Climate Control Panel Buttons
I'd love to have one with blue instead of the dated ugly green. And all the other dash, steering wheel and other lights. -

What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?
Don't get me wrong... I LOVE my truck. I would LOVE to totally restore it to like new factory condition - new interior, new paint, new front end, etc. I just don't know I have the time, money, patience, and if it's really worth it or possible.- tRidiot

What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?
I guess mine may not be that bad - the paint is showing some oxidation, not peeling clearcoat or anything YET. But it doesn't look like something I want to tackle - looks like a lot of cussing from me would ensue. And so many other things to fix, it seems a stupid thing to spend several hundred...- tRidiot

AC Heat Actuator Blend Doors, 05 Tahoe, SOLVED
Maybe one of us could send you one? How much through Rock Auto? -
Pulling after 3 alignments
How bad is this pulling? Severe or mild/minimal? Mine is pulling left one day, pulling right the next, more left than right, it seems. But I've been told I need some ball joints and wheel bearing, I just haven't been able to bring myself to drop 1-2k on repair or complete rebuild. :(- tRidiot

Another HVAC POST
Jeez, what a nightmare. I don't understand how Dorman stuff is so SH***Y. And how they haven't been sued out of business. -
What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?
Yeah after watching some YouTube videos and such, I've decided it's not for me - not for ME to do, anyways. If I do it, I'll pay someone, but given also what I saw about putting wrap over bad paint, I doubt anyone will want to do it. Apparently, I thought it would cover up defects, but it also...- tRidiot

What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?
That looks nice. How hard is it to do a wrap? I'd have to remove my roof rack, but as bad as my paint is getting, I might consider wrapping my roof and my hood, say in carbon fiber or something, since mine's black already. For today, I just swapped out all three wiper arms, that was a quick...- tRidiot

Wiper arm stand up for snow?
Well, I did it. Easy stuff. All three brand new, shouldn't have to worry about it for another... oh, 18 years or so. <edit> And yes, the Dorman arms stand up. -
Wiper arm stand up for snow?
I bought 3 new arms, both front and the rear. I guess I oughtta go put 'em on. Those same ones, from Dorman. <edit> I should add, they show the same model numbers for 2002-2006, the 2001 are different. -
$5.43/Gallon. Driving like Grandma from now on!
According to this website, California's average gas prices today at $5.91. Similarly, the Oklahoma page shows us at $3.77 average. Just one more reason...- tRidiot

Hvac help
Oh my God, I started off looking for a 9V battery adapter with those open-pin terminated ends - now I've been down a rabbit hole looking at wire termination tools for quite literally 3 hours, ending up reading about Dupont connectors and the variable quality of the crimps offered by tools going... -
Rear hvac temperature control works slowly/intermittently
Blend doors... the bane of our GMT800 existence. -
Hvac help
I don't remember what it was doing exactly - either hot or cold, it was 8+ years ago. I took it all apart, found the blend door and noted by the markings on the outside it looked like the blend door had traveled outside the track, beyond the 'stops'. I opened it up and verified it could not... -
Hvac help
I'm sure mine is the controller or something. I buy a new blend door, go through the relearn/reprogram procedure and it overdrove the door and it jumped track. That was years ago, I've been manually changing it twice a year for 8 or more years now. So I bought a new AC Delco door and it wouldn't... -
Wiper arm stand up for snow?
Oy... so it's gonna take some force? lol If the rain will stop here, I might be able to get it done. All I can find are Dorman locally - O'Reilly's, AutoZone, Advance - NAPA has their own NAPA "OEM-equivalent" brand but they're not in stock. Does the brand matter so much on these? I'd like to... -
Wiper arm stand up for snow?
So when I'm ordering new wiper arms to replace mine (my pass one stopped working yesterday, I think it's the splines in the arm), I can just choose those for a 2001 or 2002 model and it will snap right on? -
auto dimming mirrors..
And yet another COVID-induced problem. It just never ends... lol. Glad you got it fixed!- tRidiot

2006 Tahoe Z71 mileage
How many miles on your motor? Does it burn any oil? I know when I went from my old worn out 275k-mile 5.3 to my newly-rebuilt 6.0 I went from 13MPG to about 18 on the highway. My assumption is the slight increase in power, but also the fact the new motor is 'tight' and not all wallered out like...- tRidiot

Clunks when turning and on uneven ground
Sway bar bushings should be pretty easy to replace, right? I mean, compared to what all you've done so far. But then, I don't know that I'd expect them to make clunking noises.- tRidiot

2003 Tahoe coolant system leak or head gasket leak?
You ain't kiddin', man. The cost of new vehicles has gotten completely out of hand - there're lots of things I blame for this - but especially American SUVs and trucks. I drove a '21 Tahoe on vacation last year when my Tahoe left us stranded literally pulling out of town for vacation. It was...- tRidiot
