The vertical bars that run with the truck have a plastic caps on each end at the back. Carefully remove both. Slide the horizontal bars back one at a time. Put the plastic caps back in the vertical bars. Should only take like 30 seconds. ;)
Not sure on the year of your truck, but the complete 2001 unit is $90 on Amazon.

I bought a Toro electric leaf blower at Lowe's a couple years back for $29. Hasn't failed me yet.
People sometimes make the mistake of buying a gas one. Problem with the gas ones is they spray a light oily film on the car.
Call me crazy, but I use an electric leaf blower to get all the heavy water off my rides after I wash and rinse them (gets all the water out from all the little crevices and door jams). I then spray a light mist of detail spray on each panel as I wipe dry with a microfiber. REALLY cuts down on...
Make sure you research who is going to detail it. There are a lot of clowns out there claiming to be "professional detailers". Most of these clowns use a rotary and end up putting in swirls and burning the paint.
Do your homework before you hand out your ride to get detailed. ;)
Forget about the Dawn soap. It's a myth to use that to remove wax. You should only use car soap on your ride. Dawn soap can dry out the the trim pieces too. Check the following link...
Drained radiator and refilled with Prestone DEXCOOL. Coolant was changed at 49,000 miles ago when the water pump was replaced but I wanted to change it again. Coolant actually looked really good.
I took the overflow tank out and cleaned it all up. Looks good.
For the record I'm running 0W-40 Mobil1 and burn a quart every 2,100 miles. M1 is known to get consumed in GM motors. I'm going to switch to Rotella T6 at my next oil change and see if that helps.
Had the transmission serviced (pan dropped, new filter and 5 quarts of fluid). Replaced both fog lights since the lens were missing with TYC stock ones. Ended taking them apart and mounting the new lights to the stock brackets. And I washed and waxed the Tahoe this past weekend. Of course it...
Bought 5 quarts of ATF, the filter kit, and other stuff to drop the trans pan to change the filter and fluid. Couldn't get the trans drain plug off. Used a blow torch and a 10 foot breaker bar. No luck. Ended rounding off the bolt. From what I've read online it's a common problem as GM over...
I never judge a car by it's mileage. I always like to see it in person.
If you compared my 2001 Tahoe with 151k miles to one of my family members 2000 Suburban with 97k; they are worlds apart mechanically and cosmetically. Their Suburban has been through hell and back. Zero scheduled maint.
Almost every major oil you find at Wally World, Pep Boys, etc. has the proper GM certifications. Just look on the back of the bottle.

My Tahoe has 152k miles. Looking at records I believe the Tahoe had the trans serviced at 95k miles at a GM dealership. The receipt is hard to read so I don't know what they did exactly and this is before I owned the Tahoe.
When I take my Tahoe to the local trans shop what should I tell them...
