Few questions on tune up parts for increased MPG (the truck has 194K) I'm getting roughly 10.4 (according to my DIC) in town. I haven't checked highway milage yet. I'll be installing a new cap and rotor later this week and i'm thinking about an MSD coil. Plugs are newish (5k miles) and wires are...

The following is a write up of my own install for a double din unit in my truck i did over at gmfullsize.com, the red interior is my own and i may just have a big head about it but mine is one of the cleanest doubledin installs i've seen without having to hack the dash to hell and bondo...

Quick post of some boxes i worked up for my 'Hoe lmk what you think comments and suggestions welcome

So i've been battling an issue with both my ABS and TCC systems both seemingly related to an issue with the brake switch. After removing it (which involves removing the damned steering column) i found that 3 of the wires on the harness were broken. neither of the local part chains (autozone and...

Thanks, i'd thought about the HL restoration but i wasn't sure about it due to the plastic seeming so soft, but i've got an extra lens that's scratched a bit worse so i'll try on that first. As far as the sending unit, are you referring to the NSBU switch? that's odd as my reverse lights work...

I'm slowly working on the little things that bug me about my Hoe, one of the biggest being the fuel gauge (working on that one, trying not to drop the tank) the other being the shift indicators. Only every other one lights up in my truck, and i'm certain it's not the dash as i've tried a totally...

The following may or may not work for you http://www.cruizers.org/ddin.html This is an install of a 2 din using the original radio's bottom plate as a mounting bracket, and it DOES require cutting of the dash. I'm going to be trying this myself with a Sony XAV-601bt, when i can afford to buy it...

There is a service bulliten on this, the yoke was redesigned and plated with a better material IIRC, and it states in the bulletin not to grease the yoke as it can enter the transfer case and may cause damage. I had a clunk when stopping and starting that I originally attributed to the yoke...

I'm running an MTX thunder 1501d, it states right in the install guide that the amp is capable of pulling over 150amps of current, and that's when it's running at 2 ohms. Mine is modded to run at 1 ohm and I want and alternator that will keep up with it, my dual battery setup, and any additional...

Did you ever end up getting the alternator from ebay or another source? i'm looking at upgrading mine as my monoblock amp is able to draw 150 amps alone....

New tahoe owner here, i'm wanting to make some upgrades to the motor starting with smoothing out the intake. I already have a new K&N filter. I want to replace everything between the airbox and throttle body but i'm no sure what intake plenum would fit. Would one made to fit a TBI motor work or...

Just bought a 99 tahoe and I've used this site extensively while researching the buy. I live in the Southern Tier in NY and surprisingly my new truck is almost completely rust free. I'm looking forward to sharing my restorations and modifications here :)
