    Plastic trim for interior?

    I went by two Chevy dealers, and neither could point me to the correct part, and the "parts manager" wasn't available to see if he could either. Does anyone have a clue where you get replacement plastic trim for the interior? The rear bottom one is absolutely destroyed - the part that gets...

    Anyone tried this Ethos stuff?

    So I'm trolling on atlantagasprices.com (checks all the lowest gas prices around the city) and there's been this big ad in the middle for a product called "Ethos". Anyone tried it? It's supposedly a big bottle of biodegradable esters that improves gas mileage. I might get a couple bottles...

    Fog is gone :( What to replace with?

    So I've been out of town quite a bit the last few months, and basically driving my Hoe between the airport and home. I got in real late the other night, and was trying to draft a 18-Wheeler... and bam, it kicks up something that heads straight at me. I tried to swerve but ended up hitting...

    HIDs - wtf?!

    OK, so I did the retarded thing that I rarely do and bought the cheapos off ebay. I'm getting what I paid for. It came with ballasts, harnesses for the bulbs themselves, and a housing for the wires to go into (waterproofing). The problem is, the harness is probably a foot long total. I'm...

    Anyone ever installed aftermarket seat heaters?

    Difficulty level in reassembling the upholstery on leather Tahoe seats? Any other painful points of installation?

    Keep blowing fuses, argh!

    I have two issues, a little background first: I installed a sub/amp a long time ago using 8ga wire going straight to the back. This has a 20amp fuse next to the battery in the engine compartment. I recently swapped out my front speakers and wired them to a spare amp I had. The amp is located...

    Tech: How-to install shocks (2001 Tahoe)

    I asked about this about a month ago, being nervous about the potential for coilovers and all those fun, fun parts about shocks. Turns out, this is a simple bolt-on procedure. I'd install the rears first, as they are the easiest. Rear shock: 1. Remove the wheel and get the truck on jack...

    Best MPG for the buck?

    I've got the S&B CAI installed, yellow-top battery, gapped plugs to 0.60 as suggested on this forum, replaced the O2 sensor with a shiny Bosch one, and gave her all new fluids. This has gotten me from about 320mi to a tank to 380mi average (13mpg to about 16mpg) What next going to get me the...

    No 3rd row seat - or can I?

    My Tahoe is an LS with all the LT package options (don't have a clue why). It did not come with third row seats, nor the setup in the cargo area for it. Is this something I can add on somehow? Parts I can mount somehow?

    LCDs with adjustable headrest poles - anyone use em?

    Anyone used these new LCDs in the headrests with their Tahoe? This says the poles are adjustable width, but I'm wondering how well they fit in a Tahoe (the poles are a little thicker in my hoe than in my buddy's Camry, for example)...

    The full list of repairs

    OK all, this is a sort-of followup to the "thinking of downgrading" thread. I got my alignment done today ($120!%!@#) and they had it up on the lift showing me everything that it needs (2001 Tahoe, 120k): - front shock leaking fluid, all four shocks $600 - new rotors, pads $800 - radiator...

    Thinking of "downgrading" to an Envoy/TB

    So I kind of have the new car bug. I'm thinking about selling my Tahoe and getting an Envoy or Trailblazer instead. - lower gas consumption - nicer bits (seat heaters, Bluetooth, third row seats, etc) - no/less maintenance (Hoe has 120k on it, gonna need a lot of stuff soon) I'm willing...

    Heat problems - no error codes

    I have a strange problem that I haven't had time to let the dealer take a look at. I'm not getting any error codes in the dash LCD. 2001 Tahoe 5.3 I used to have the common issue of the heat getting stuck and having to let the truck sit for a while to get cold air again, but now I'm not...
