I have a lead on a replacement dash, but have some questions.
What’s involved in removing the dash? I’ve dumped the entire dash before to replace the heater core, but can you pull the plastic dash off from what’s under it. Is this a massive effort?
Seller sent me pics from a ‘99 Tahoe he’s...
The ‘99 was experiencing pulse from the front end particularly at speeds of 70 to 80 mph. Tires are brand new and have the balance beads installed. Pulse is up and down, but I felt like the wheels had a rapid wobble to them.
So this morning I went through everything the front end. All ball...
Got the new tensioner installed. I then inspected the serpentine belt and it was cracked and had pieces of ribbing missing. Brought it with me to NAPA and got a 100-5/8" length belt. Initially (before starting and running the truck) the tensioner was far to the driver's side such that mark was...
I had try it. After adjusting the rear brakes to correct the brake pull and rapidly locking rear left wheel, I suddenly got a rapid fire pulse vibration on heavy stops from 70 mph on down. It’s not the drums. Everything I read, based on the vibration at speed, it’s due to out of balance tires...
I’ve had the pulley go out on a road trip. Should have known as it was a reaching. It went out on a downgrade with canyon walls on both sides. Lost power steering and brakes. Basically coasted down the grade until I got onto open flat area with a pull off on the old Oregon trail. It was...
Am I cursed or blessed?
I was inflating the rear tires after installing balance beads in the tires. Heard what sounded like truck falling off the jack stands, but that was not the case. Shut the engine down and inspected the engine. Found the serp belt completely loose and off the PS pulley. Go...
A bit of a dash update. I installed a Pioneer NEX-2550 head unit into the ‘99 Suburban. MrMarty graciously provided an aftermarket bezel by Metra for the double DIN pioneer. It fit pretty well, though my dash is so brittle that several of the receptacles for the metal clips just broke out. My...
The window on the liftgate to my wife's 2014 4Runner started to bind up such that it would not go all the way up. To make matters worse, the button is in the center console and the dog has a habit of stepping on it. He also was able to hit the unlock button on driver's side door AND step on the...
Filled up this am at $3.63 for diesel, because of Iran’s threat to close the Hormuz Strait. If they try, I think they will lose their entire navy. No other country in the Middle East wants to see the Hormuz Strait closed.
I did a mpg calculation based on the full and I average 17.3. This was...
A short while ago I posted somewhere here about my left rear wheel locking up and causing pull to the left under moderate to heavy braking. I finally got around to adjusting the rear brakes. I only adjusted the right rear which needed quite a bit of adjustment. That corrected the pulling problem...
I started on the install of this Pioneer head unit in the ‘99 Suburban:

This is narrower than the original stereo units, so I had to order adapter brackets and face plate to the fill the gaps:
