It looks great. What is not going right? Maybe I can help you.
Got my vehicle back and the dealer said they couldn't identify the problem. They adjusted struts to see if they were the issue and then put them back.
On the way home no squeaks.
The dealer said that it could be an early sign of magna-ride failure but if they fixed it now it wouldn't be covered by the warranty....

Basically, I'm stuck using USB-C for charging with a separate HDMI port for audio\video. The original hopes and dreams were to have a dock in the center console, with one single USB-C connection for charging, A\V, USB, etc. The problem is that there are very few docks that work with a Nintendo Switch and a Steam Deck\Ally\Legion\Laptop, the only one that really fits the bill has a male USB-C output. Due to USB-C's design, a female to female adapter (coupler) can't exist. It can ONLY pass power (not data), and only in one direction...so it will only pass power through with the cable plugged in one way. I guess a lot of the reasoning behind it safety. With a female to female adapter you can basically make a USB-C to USB-C cable as long as you want. Since they are carrying a significant amount of power to charge devices (PD power), the cables aren't rated to carry that kind of current over long distances. Worst case scenario there could potentially be a fire hazard, melting wires, etc.

Can you provide a video about this?

Maybe this weekend, but in short I wanted to hide this in the center console: https://a.co/d/bB3fl7H
Then plug it into this adapter:
In theory, this would make it to where I only had to plug in one USBC cable whenever I brought a game console(or laptop) into the Yukon. The problem is that second adapter doesn't work that way, and there isn't one that works that way. That second adapter will only work for charging, no data.
Edit: I also finished them last night. Had to modify my wireless charger's add-on harness so I wouldn't cut too many wires on the stock harness. I ended up only need to cut 2 of the stock wires in the entire project. Also, the power hungry USB-C charger is now on it's own circuit. Came out great!

Oooooh... I like the sound of that
And it looks like you dropped the rear a tad? It doesnt seem to have that 'stinkbug' stance that mine does.Today I had a car service take me to the airport for a quick business trip. They sent a guy in a 2024 Suburban Premier with its independent rear suspension. The ride was bouncier than mine and it had many more squeaks than I ever heard in mine.
I didn't see how many miles were on their 24 Suburban. I asked him what year it was and he said it was 24 and that he got it this summer. Mine hasn't broken 40k yet.
I'm glad I got a chance to get a ride for nearly an hour down the highway I drive regularly to do a comparison.
I might still see what can be done to get my squeaks completely gone but there's no need to worry about premature failure of the magnaride.

Watched my son change the oil for the first time by himself. Only forgot the "Push against the drain bolt\oil filter while you loosen it so it doesn't suddenly drop and start draining and spilling oil everywhere" rule once, on the filter. Everything he did exactly by the book, even drained the catch can. He installed this new drain plug that is the fanciest looking plug I have ever seen:
Fancy, right? Too bad it leaks. He torqued it to 18 ft pounds and it still drips slowly, I think it's that copper crush washer. Today after work I'm going to try a Dorman 097-116CD gasket on it. We are going to try the shopvac to the oil cap trick to keep the oil from leaking out during the gasket swap. Here's hoping that goes well.

Got the LED backlight GM bowtie installed yesterday, took up maybe 5 minutes of time
And after fully rebuilding the bottom end of this seat, new cushion, new leather, new heater / ac ducts, new vibrators, got it sitting back in the burb all nice and happy. And honestly, wow. What a difference. the durafoam from the seat shop makes a gigantic difference. And the color match on the leather is nearly perfect. Highly recommend everyone with the bad stock seat cushions to replace them with the durafoam. Takes about an hour per seat, but it's worth it
