    Stock radio programmed to VIN ?

    The 2000-2002 radios only had a lock on them if the owner enabled that feature and set their own code. It's called Theftlock and it's turned off by default. Most radios probably won't have a lock code as the average person wouldn't have bothered enabling it. I'm not certain about the standard...

    2001 Tahoe roof rust rot under roof rack

    My Yukon has the exact same rust spot under one of my roof rails and it's always been a SoCal truck. Noticed it awhile ago and it doesn't seem to have grown, but probably should address it at some point. Were you able to tackle it?

    How much for a paint job?

    Hell... at these prices I'm thinking about just taking the hood off and doing it myself rattle-can style. I can't afford much beyond $3k.

    How much for a paint job?

    Yikes... that much for just the roof and hood?? I was figuring $3k for everything. Ouch. Wanted to do the whole truck so it looked even and matched. I've been on the lookout for a good condition hood for years. Never been able to find a matching one in good shape. Either it's faded too or it's...

    How much for a paint job?

    Who here has had their rigs painted? How much did you pay? My Denali's beautiful Redfire Metallic paint is fading pretty badly on the hood and roof. Kind of embarrassed to see it in this state. I'm figuring it needs a full respray. Don't make fun of me, but I'm looking for Maaco budget territory.

    Want an OBD scanner, recommendations?

    I use BlueDriver for most of my code reading. It pulls codes deeper than most generic scanners and the app is very user friendly and helpful at explaining what the problem is, how common it is, and user-reported fixes.

    What’s this noise??

    What should I look for for a worn out CV joint?

    Two New Trucks

    I have direct replacement LEDs in my Denali. They plug and play with the factory connector and twist right into the socket. Had them for almost 3 years now with no issues. Highly recommend. As far as the foggy lenses, you can sand and polish them to get rid of the damaged layer, or pickup an...

    What’s this noise??

    Thanks everyone for the input. I haven’t had a chance to jack it up and check for play yet. Question… it’s better to replace the whole hub rather than just the bearing, correct?

    What’s this noise??

    Wheel bearing? Squeaky toy?

    2001 Tahoe Radio Volume Not Adjusting

    I know this sounds counter intuitive, but instead of replacing the amp (if that is the problem) you might consider replacing the radio with an aftermarket head unit and bypassing the amp (properly of course ;)).

    2001 Tahoe Radio Volume Not Adjusting

    My guess would be to start tracing those wires from the previous owner. If they had a aftermarket head unit installed, they likely bypassed the factory amp.

    2001 yukon electrical issue

    Aaaaaand crickets lol. But in the off-chance the OP comes back to read and reply... you said your battery is good. How do you know? Was it tested professionally to be good? You said you start and stop the truck all day. That would wreak havoc on a battery. Is it cold in the morning where you...

    2001 Tahoe Radio Volume Not Adjusting

    You don't have the Bose radio right? I know in my rig, there is a Bose amplifier that must receive the signal to turn on, otherwise no sound.

    2001 Tahoe Radio Volume Not Adjusting

    That’s quite a hack job back there that someone did. That black box is not factory. Looks like an AUX adapter. I also see someone added an in-line fuse in that yellow holder attached to the red wire. Have you checked if that fuse is good? No idea what it’s for, but may as well rule that out too...

    Gas pedal

    I don't think the problem is that the throttle is too sensitive, it's the physical spring on the gas pedal. There's no "dampening" or whatever. Causes it to be springy/bouncy. Especially when going over bumps or rough road. Your foot keeps bouncing the gas pedal. Think of it like a car with...

    Gas pedal

    They don't make 'em for our generation of trucks :(

    Gas pedal

    My '03 Denali is the same way. IIRC everyone's is. Very springy gas pedal. You just kinda get used to it after awhile.

    2006 Yukon XL Power Driver seat isn't working, and neither heated seats

    Good find. Likely the seat bottom pad is bad like I mentioned. I went to a junkyard and pulled one off of a seat there.

    Unable to adjust settings on DIC

    Not necessarily. It could be intermittent and starting to fail, but still have some functionality. When mine went bad, it would mostly work, but sometimes if I had the steering wheel at just the right angle, like turning on a freeway overpass and tried to adjust the volume of the radio, it...

    2006 Yukon XL Power Driver seat isn't working, and neither heated seats

    Correct. I was just addressing that particular issue. I vaguely remember something about if the brake switch or even something as small as a brake bulb was faulty, it would disable cruise control, power seat functionality, and the seat memory function. I could be remembering wrong though.

    2001 Tahoe Radio Volume Not Adjusting

    The chimes are generated by the sound system only on 2003-2006 models. 2000-2002 have a separate chime unit in the dash.

    2006 Yukon XL Power Driver seat isn't working, and neither heated seats

    I had the same problem with the heated seat on my driver's side. One of the heater pads is bad. Very likely the seat bottom pad as that one sees the most wear and tear. The driver and passenger seat heater circuits are linked. If one has a malfunction, it will take the other out too. The seat...

    03 Tahoe Instrument cluster replacement?

    Yes, but the mileage stays with the cluster, so you will need to have that reprogrammed for legal reasons depending on what state you're in.
