    tilt wheel/lights go out

    I had the exact same problem. Turns out my problem was caused by me. I added in a remote start but I put in a H harness so I didn't cut into the factory wires. On the H harness, I didn't bolt up the harness together tight enough. This caused the lights to go out when yo moved the tilt...

    Rear door child-safety windows

    The custom shaped tempered glass will cost you a lot of $$$. You'd be best off to see if you can find a doner vehicle. Technically, you could use the Tahoe's window if you can find someone to cut the tempered glass. Problem is that there is no guarentee that tempered glass will not...

    Rear door child-safety windows

    Child safety windows is a marketing thing. Windows don't roll down due to the shape of the door. Having a split window is the only thing that will allow the window to go down further. That would need to be custom made. How much would it cost you to re do that back door so that the window...

    How does this door part come off?? pic

    Just pry on it. I used a small pry bar to pop it out. It only has one of the plastic pannel clips holding it in, the same as the rest of the door pannel. Humm... good place for a tweeter. :-) Hardwarz

    Hydrogen = Increased MPG

    Creating the hydrogen is fine and all, but are you trying to generate enough hydrogen in the vehicle to run it? Or are you trying to generate it, compress it and then put it in to the intake? The 2nd is more likely than the first because to generate enough hydrogen while running is going to...

    Do the doors use molex plugs?

    molex.... Um... Oh... wiring harnesses. Molex is a brand name. Sorry about that. On older vehicles, they usually use a rubber grommet. On my 99 Tahoe, I've seen more and more use of molex plugs when going through the firewall or most pannles. I know some vehicles use molex plugs to...

    Do the doors use molex plugs?

    I replaced my driver's side door speaker when I had to do some door repairs, now the speaker doesn't work all the time. It will work for days then then not for months. I replaced the speaker again and it still doesn't work. I've decided that I should run new wires. But before I even tackle...

    Running 4 gauge power wire

    You can use the remote wire from the head unit as a trigger for the relay. From there you can connect a fused line to the neons and fans. Doing it that way, you're not going to drawing much current from the remote wire on the head unit. Also, neons and fans will only come on when the head...

    Running 4 gauge power wire

    NO = Normally Open NC = Normally Closed You'll refer to NO or NC when there is no power to the circuit, therefore if there is no power to the trigger of the relay,: Open more or less means off (Open circuit, a break in the circuit) Closed more or less means on (Closed circuit, flow of...

    How to your own AC system.

    You're correct. I fixed it. It's been a long time since I've written about AC or vacuum pumps. I wish I had the ability to edit the title... Hardwarz

    How to your own AC system.

    I posted this in a thread, but realized that it's something that everyone should know. ********************* If you AC system comes on but does not blow cold air: You should put a pressure tester on first before adding anything. If you have pressure, then you don't have a leak. If you...

    AIR!!!

    You should put a pressure tester on first before adding anything. If you have pressure, then you don't have a leak. If you have no pressure, DO NOT ADD R134a! If you have zero pressure, place a vacuum pump on it. Take it to -30 in/lbs. Remove the pump. If it keeps a vacuum after 30...

    Idea on how to get better fuel economy.

    Ok, I was thinking about how to increase fuel economy on my 99 Tahoe. One of the biggest things was to keep the tire pressure correct. Other things are what everyone knows, accellerate slowly, avoid idiling, etc. Another way to increase fuel economy on an existing vehicle is to reduce the...

    Box Building Tips

    Alas, I don't have picturs of a lot of the old competition systems I've built over the years. The reason I did 3/4" MDF + 3/4" ply was because the MDF gave it the very solid feeling. The 3/4" Ply made it a lot more rigid. The more rigid the structure is, the less wall flex. Less wall flex...

    Box Building Tips

    When building a sub box, here's a couple tips. Never have sides parallel. Use glue to make each chamer airtight. Use the thickest MDF you can afford. The thicker, the less flex it will have. (I have in the past laminated 3/4" MDF with 3/4" plywood. It was overkill, but the bass was very...

    Running 4 gauge power wire

    I go target shooting a lot. To get to one of the spots where we shoot, my friend's land has a quad runner trail that we have to drive up using 4x4x (My Tahoe, a Toyota Pick up Truck, etc.) Sometimes, the path is VERY muddy and kicks up EVERWHERE! The path is also on the side of a large hill...
