    6J3 wiring for old police lighting system?

    There’s a bundle of 4 wires that have tan, gray, green & blue wires coming out of the truck towards the headlights. The gray wire connects into forward lamp harness. Does anyone know where that goes to? I have the wiring schematics up on my computer but it’s not showing where the hell it...

    Smelling coolant

    Thanks all, appreciate the suggestions. I have plenty of heat inside the truck. I see that I’m not loosing coolant, IF I am it’s so little it’s not noticeable,yet. I’ll check the fittings you all are talking about and see if they are leaking. I wish I looked closer to the water pump area...

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Really pleased with how the truck handled in and out of 4wd and the grabber atx tires are worth it. This is the 1st decent snow that I have driven the truck.

    Control arms

    Ok, is there a difference between the aluminum ones and the steel ones? PPV is 2wd. SSV is 4wd My truck is the SSV, are the arms longer for one and shorter for the other to compensate for the difference in driveline??? I’ve literally got a week to get this done before I’m on a 6day 12...

    Tires..It's gonna come faster than you think

    Local tire distributor got me the best price, $190.00 each + 6% tax to Uncle Sam. Included the disposal of the old tires new mounting and balancing. Other places locally started at 215-245. Online 220.00 free shipping but then you had to go thru a shop that charges for all the other stuff...

    Control arms

    I would imagine that both the PPV & SSV’s do NOT have the aluminum front control arms. Passenger side lower ball joint is shot, a lot of play in it. My philosophy is once one part wears out the rest are close to it as well.

    Tires..It's gonna come faster than you think

    Finally decided on what I was going to put on the truck for winter. I figured I do go off-road, more than Jeep’s that are just trail rated ” LOL. The property lends itself to some good off-roading a bunch of times a year. My decision was based on the above and the fact the “winter” tires...

    RPO Code heated mirrors

    The rear defroster does work, I assumed that depressing the button for the rear defroster did the mirrors as well. According to y’all it is. Neither side defroster this morning. Also I’m assuming these are the heated mirrors. After all it was a police truck. I’ll mess with the wiring...

    RPO Code heated mirrors

    What’s the RPO code for the heated mirrors. The build sheet on my police Tahoe says I have it but after last nights hard freeze, they didn’t defrost with rear defroster on. Unless there’s yet another switch I have to plug in from another connector in the dash.

    So my understanding is if you want to delete AFM, you have to either get/borrow/or have the dealer shut it off with a Tech2. OR Purchase a something like HP tuners to delete it. OR Send out the BCM to have it done. Mine is driving me nucking futs at slow surface street speeds. I’m lucky...

    Damn me for looking.

    Ok being as how we are showing our rust here’s a few of my Silverado’s rocker panels. Teaching myself how to weld. The welder isn’t much a 120 Hobart welder. Has enough juice to weld new panels on.

    2014 SSV..Brands of fluid

    Thanks all, I assumed that this one needed the additive for the transfer case. Good to know it doesn’t, Dex 6 fluid for both the trans and transfer case, works for me. I typically get the gaskets for the just in case shot happens. If I don’t use them I return them. Always been lucky with...
