Front Roof console needs a screw

[Tom Joad]

I hate to say it Tom, but from the looks of your pic, even though you were able to fix your console, looks to me that you have a few screws loose because of it!! ha hahaha

So, those were about 1 1/4" long? How many turns of the screw driver did you get to tighten it?
Congrats on the fix, drives me up the walls when I have stuff like this unfinished on my rig so I don't blame you at all for wanting to fix it!

With all thoses screws I can open a garage and fix freely all the roof console of the forum's members ! lol
The screws are 30mm long and 3.5mm wide. I think I turned about 1 complete turn.
I hate having some things unfinished. THis Tahoe is driving nuts because of all what's missing here or torn there, etc.
The rear fog light is a PITA to find, many buttons are paintless on corners. And I know nothing about the ancient mechanical/repairs life of the 'Hoe (not to mix up with the Hoff' ) since the last owner did not get any bill/invoice from the previous owner.
Plus I'm a newbie in car repairs. Hopefully I found the best site ever. THank you guys you're really helpful.

Figured i'd post these axle diff pics on here since this is your thread and you got your original question answered!!

Thanks to you ! I'll take picture as soon as I can tomorrow morning.
I have to do approx 1000mi next week. Can I drive it safely?

If it's a axle seal and it's not horrible (which we should be able to tell from pics from you), I'd say easily YES, but if you have a tear in a CV boot and it's been like that for long and especially if it's been wet over there like it has been here where I live, it's a crap shoot but I'd be a bit worried about taking it on a long trip (but that might just be me!). Not good to drive around with a torn CV boot and letting moisture/dirt get in there, could be disastrous if left that way for long!
