Well tahoe was overheating yesterday, thought maybe fans or water pump. Turns out it was neither just low on coolant, whew. Also purchased some JDMastar leds recently and replaced the old leds.

Well truck decided it was going to overheat a little. Looked at it was a little low on coolant so I added some. Checked the radiator made sure the water pump was flowing water and it was. Turned the ac on made sure the fans were working and they came on. But after I topped it off the temps didn't get above operating temps and runs fine. But I did find that the truck is throwing a p0342 code so going to have to replace the camshaft position sensor behind the intake manifold.

BUT I also did get the escalade third brake light installed. Used double sided tape on the entire thing and it seems to be holding on pretty well. But only time will tell. I did however have to swap the two wires going from the factory plug into the actual light. Question though, with the running lights on the outside three lights on either side of the third brake are illuminated. Is that normal?

Also still waiting on the color matched end caps for the roof rack to come back from paint.

Anyways onto photos.

That Esky 3rd looks good. Slowly growing on me.

Agreed was a little unsure about the escalade third but I am liking it. If I didn't end up liking it I was going to do what @05Single did and wrap the factory one and add the "audi" style third brake.
