    I cant stop laughing! Warranty offer from GM

    I dont mean to backtrack the thread but has anyone else been getting those damn phone calls from random states and area codes saying that their vehicles warranty is about to expire? I have been trying for months to get rid of these damn phone calls but i cant figure it out. I get em every day at...

    Polk audio, thoughts, good/bad????

    Each speaker is going to sound different depending on your head unit because they all have different RMS and PW settings. Expect good sound out of any replacement speaker as GM makes some decent OEM head units and right now you have static- its not hard to make it sound better from there. You...

    wiring for fans?

    Hey all, Im wiring up my electric fans at the moment and have a question in relation to the AC compressor. I decided to make my own (yes i know about nelson and blackbear-great companies) because i have the materials and weatherpack connectors to do the job right (hopefully). My question...

    "Cheap" cold air intakes

    My two cents: . An intake on many vehicles will make a positive difference in breathing mpg and slight power increases and many dont cost too much. However: . Just cause you buy an intake does not mean its going to improve your engine performance; especially with those intakes above...

    LT vs Z71 Lift

    Im a huge fan of infiniti and alpine, been using both for years; infiniti makes great speakers and components as well as subs. Alpine makes great head units and pretty decent amps too. S, R, and X series subs are real good quality as well I tend to use kicker and rocksford fosgate for amps

    ride quality: 20" vs 22" wheels

    My two cents since i've owned rims in that size: 20's are a good middle of the road large diameter rim- go good with most vehicles, not too extreme Con- for a tahoe/yukon/nali, depending on what look your going for and what tire your using, they can sometimes leave a lot of fenderwell...

    dash lighting

    change the lights in the dash. I believe the bulbs are 194's (common GM size) but then again ive never swapped them on a tahoe so you might wanna get a second opinion on that. When i had my s10 blazer, i removed the gauge cluster and replaced them with green 194 bulbs (the vehicle was...

    All Z71 Owners

    My Z71 has Wildcat EXT's (275-70-17) on it. I have been around autos for a while and i bought this truck as a repo; i had never heard of these tires and the former owner lived in the mountains where more tread is needed. I absolutely love these tires though, very quiet but the tread pattern is...

    Trans 'double' downshift

    Im gonna second what everyone else is sayin. My first trans had a hard shift that would kick to 2nd from 4th if i jumped on it, and it was definitely noticable. In my new trans im running a different torque converter and a shift kit and when it drops down now everyone in the truck feels it. I...

    tranny cooler install

    Withac, Thanks for the reply, i appreciate it. Funny you mention cracking the connector cause mine did the exact same thing, i figured it would though. I just installed my new cooler right in place of the old one after welding up new brackets, and then ran new soft bi-woven rubber tranny...

    tranny cooler install

    Hey all, Im installing the B&M Tranny cooler w/ elec fan. that many seem to have on this site- its a great cooler and this is my third truck ive put it on. However, the tranny lines are confusing me a little bit. Correct me if im wrong, but the stock tranny cooler is not internal inside...

    no sound from speakers.

    wrong wiring harness. you need the harness that integrates the bose system into the new head unit. this also restores the door chimes. do a search on this for more info, it seems to be a really common question. hope this helps.

    99 Tahoe just died on me.

    Someone correct me if im wrong here: What exactly were you hearing from the fuel pump when you turned the vehicle on? from the vehicles ive worked on and can actually speak for, you shouldnt hear anything from the fuel pump. GM has this characteristic with multiple vehicles. I...

    Do I Need?

    You have two options. You can buy the interface module and install it with the head unit, and then you will have sound garaunteed. By using this module, you are integrating your stock amplifier (and yes even tahoes without bose have one) and your onstar to your aftermarket head unit, pushing...

    Do I Need?

    190 is about the going rate for the Onstar/Bose module. Its absolutely required for the bose system, and the Onstar needs it as well in order to continue to shut off the head unit in order to transmit. you might not used it now but i could come in real handy some day, spend the 190. For info, I...
