    Rear view camera install

    The next step after having a double-din dvd unit installed was to add a rear view camera. I bought a cheap Taotronics camera, and since it didn't have any night vision, I also added two 55W fog lights. It took me a while to figure out how to mount the camera - I didn't like the plate number...

    Double DIN install - easy way

    I cannot see well on the picture - what did you put on the sides of your radio to cover the gap?

    Double DIN install - easy way

    I bought mine from Crutchfield, and although they do not recommend any DD unit for OBS trucks, you still can specify your year, so they include a correct harness and antenna adapter - both are a direct fit for your factory harness, so all you need to do is solder the matching wires together...

    Double DIN install - easy way

    Sad, very sad... I had a GPS stolen a few years ago back in Texas, the car was not locked, so I saved the window at least :-) Did you have a chance to find the bastard and rip his heart out (just like he did with you radio)?

    Double DIN install - easy way

    The unit doesn't open up, it just has a screen, it doesn't go anywhere when I insert a DVD or usb memory with videos. Why waste space? A cubby seems to be much more useful than a filler! On the other hand, a plate can be used for some extra switches - although I cannot think of ant that I...

    Double DIN install - easy way

    Double din install completed! The project is done. Of course, I added a few scratches to the freshly painted bezel, but overall I am glad with the results. It involved minimal cutting, and it may or may not work for other units (mine is Pioneer X1500). Bypass works, sound is better than stock...

    2000 Tahoe Limited with 2001-2006 third row installed

    Another solution which might work for those who do not want to mess with drilling their floor is just tie the seats to the four hooks. In my 98' Tahoe I usually have only one of these NBS 3rd row seats, and it is tied to only two hooks with two ratchet straps. Sits rock solid, never gave me any...

    Double DIN install - easy way

    Dash bezel All right, the dashbaord trim is done. I took two pieces of black plastic from an old printer's paper tray and after measuring a lot attached them with epoxy. These are my "fillers," hopefully, the header nose will fit! The color was not a 100% match, so I decided to spray the whole...

    Go for it, you won't regret! Just make sure you check the specs/dimensions of the unit before you buy it...

    Double DIN install - easy way

    I have always wanted to listen to MY music, ideally from some media that holds pretty much all of it. At some point I added a PAC (AAI-GM9) with 2 AUX inputs. It worked well untill my CD player decided to retire... So I chose to go double din and touch screen - personally I have a dumb phone...

    Alignment question

    I have recently replaced ball joints, control arms bushings and tie rods on both sides of my '98 2wd Tahoe. After some calling and comparing prices, I decided to buy a lifetime alignment at Firestone. Today I brought them my Tahoe, and when the job was done, I looked at the print out, and saw...

    Spring coil insulators

    Thank you! Old or new - I don't care, I just want to go stock :-)

    Spring coil insulators

    Makes perfect sense to me; now why does this diagram have only one (top) rubber insulator?

    Spring coil insulators

    Yes, it is. So you say, there should be two of them per spring?

    Spring coil insulators

    I am rebuilding the front suspension on my 98 2WD Tahoe. When I took off the lower arm, there was a rubber insulator in a poor condition which sat between the arm and the bottom end of the spring. So I went online and ordered this part at advanceautpparts. The insulator on the picture looked...

    Steering knuckle spindle replacement?

    I think I'd rather let them keep it... I wonder though where do all the stock spindles go after lifting/dropping? I am sure there are tons of them around for a much better price. I may try to post at my local craiglist...

    Steering knuckle spindle replacement?

    Is it so? I have a 2WD.

    Steering knuckle spindle replacement?

    In the hub, the one that the bearings sit on. Thanks fot telling. So it is one pieceI I mean, the actual spindle is not screwed in or inserted into the bigger part that connects to the arms and tie? Too bad, I hoped it would be a cheap fix :-(

    Steering knuckle spindle replacement?

    I have a 98 2wd Tahoe. On a recent couple hundred miles trip I heard a knocking sound of a bad bearing. The wheel had about 2 inches of play on any side, so I decided not to drive it anymore, and brought the truck home on a trailer. Today I took the hub off, found a bunch of debris, just as...

    Injector bracket is not tight?

    Hi all! I have a special question to those who have changed their poppet injectors to MFI. My new BWD spider came with a new bracket, a bolt and a spring washer. The manual claims that this bracket is different from the stock, however I do not see it. Both brackets even have the same number...

    How to clean lifter valley

    I read or heard somewhere about cleaning and then flushing it all down these holes with an old oil followed by a quart of a good oil. After all, the holes are normally open, so this carbon shouldn't have any problems going down before I took the manifold off, then how is draining different?

    How to clean lifter valley

    Hello! My '98 Tahoe with a 5.7 engine had a P0305 code with a SES light. After eliminating any possible ignition problems, I realized that it was a bad injector. The plan was to get rid of the old poppets and install a new MFI setup. At the same time I was loosing a good amount of coolant from a...
