    01 Cabin Air Filter Swap

    I have an '02 and mine was dirty as heck at 100k. I have changed mine out a few times since then. If it's your first time changing it out and it's never been done (or it's been a good while), you should put a plastic bag underneath the work area to keep all the debris from falling onto the...

    making your engine look pretty

    I heard that Armor All dries up the plastic and vinyl because it dehydrates the material that it's sprayed on. I thought I heard that it soaks up a lot of the oils from the plastic/vinyl and brings it to the surface for all that shine that we look for. Did I hear this right or am I just a nut...

    I'd like to see the mod on the gauges. That sounds pretty interesting.

    Anyone interested in modifying the seat to fully recline?

    Some of these pics will show the bolts on the 4 corners of the seat's bottom frame/rails. Some of these bolts will be hidden underneath removable panels. I used a 7/16 and 15mm socket to remove these. Should be easy enough. You'll need various tools and sockets (metric went up to 18mm and...

    Anyone interested in modifying the seat to fully recline?

    I have posted the pictures that I accumulated. The pictures will show the various bolts that you will need to remove and place back. They will also show the grinding and how it turned out. If you notice, I had to cut some of the spring as well. I decided to cut about 4 "turns" worth of the...

    Anyone interested in modifying the seat to fully recline?

    Ok. Well here are some more pictures. I didn't want to compromise the mechanism or various bolts that were riveted/pressed together, and after looking at it for a while, I decided to compress the spring as much as I needed, to make my plan work. I didn't want to remove the plate that acts like a...

    Anyone interested in modifying the seat to fully recline?

    I know that the power seats have a golden ring. I have power seats that powers the forward, reverse, up, and down movement for the bottom of the seat. For reclining, I have a handle that ratchets the seat backward or forward. Below are some pictures of my setup/mechanism.

    Anyone interested in modifying the seat to fully recline?

    Just making sure there were people out there still interested and having some seats like mine....post will come...but the mod will take some time and isn't some golden ring mod. You'll have to take your seats out to do this mod. And the mod is still free...if you have the right tools...

    Anyone interested in modifying the seat to fully recline?

    I am doing a mod on my '02 Tahoe that will allow me to fully recline my seat. I have a power/manual hybrid seat. The bottom of the seat is powered, but the back part has a ratcheting mechanism. I guess the fully powered seat didn't come out until later. If you're interested pm me and i'll post...

    Antifreeze/Dexcool

    I heard that GM found out about this problem and reformulated the dexcool around '07. If you change it within reasonable intervals then you should be fine. The problem with the different coolants is that once they start to break down they start to turn acidic. This then starts to eat everything...

    So I got my seats to fully recline today.

    Ok. For those that have a ratcheting seat (to recline) like me there is whole different mechanism that must be looked at. I just worked on my truck to get all 4 lights to stay on when activating the HI beam. I took the cover off of the seat to check out the mechanism for reclining and I THINK I...

    Tail lights from shopcustomcreations.com

    Has anyone gotten some taillights from shopcustomcreations.com, and if so, how do you like them? Are they cheap plastic or are they made to last? I'm considering getting some, but I don't want to buy them when they'll mess up in a few months. Did you have to buy anything else in order for them...

    Shaking at 65mph

    Tire out of balance, bad tire (out of round), u-joints. Does it start to vibrate at certain speeds?

    it happened again- fuel pump no go

    That's true. I don't let mine get below a quarter of a tank. It helps keep the fuel pump cool (especially during the summer). And if you do end up getting an aftermarket fuel pump then look for one that at least has a 1 year warranty. Try O'rielly's, they have fuel pumps with 1 year warranties...

    it happened again- fuel pump no go

    Sounds like the pump is going out. Mine did that like a year before it finally started to really give out. It acted up while I was idling in traffic. Traffic started to move and I pressed the gas, but nothing happen. Instead it just idled there. After a year, it started to do it again and then...

    BlackBear Tune

    i don't think you have to purchase a separate efilive handheld device...you pay a deposit to use it and you get refunded when they get it back

    So I got my seats to fully recline today.

    Has anyone done this type of mod for the front two seats on a "ratcheting" type of setup and not the "button" type? I have read that the ratcheting setup on the seats are different and isn't some simple golden ring that requires removal.

    synthetic fluids

    I use Amsoil, and they should be able to get you a filter for your trans as well. They even have a guide online so that you can order the right stuff. Amsoil has been pretty good to me, and that's with a Tahoe with 170k on the odometer. Knocking on wood, but the engine runs really really...
