    Tailgate window motor trouble for Suburban

    Hello everyone, I was wondering if any of you happen to know a good re-builder for a Suburban tailgate motor? Apparently no new or aftermarket motors exist, and I have already done a rebuild through Rock Auto (i think they go through Cardone) and the motor was still very weak after they...

    Anyone know where to get this grill?

    I ended up just using the factor hardware on the trim piece with big washers with neoprene washers to.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I finally started driving mine last week after a year or so of doing way more than I planned to it. I washed it, and installed this crazy expensive cup holder.

    Power REAR WINDOW, Suburban Tailgate & Blazer Troubleshooting

    If you end up taking everything apart and replacing tons more crap than you planned like I did, I used this window channel felt. I bought like 3 other kinds that didn't work before I found this. Mine had pretty much disintegrated from age...

    Refurbishing the interior, need parts advice

    I've been shopping interior parts and I got the usa1 interiors dash pad for mine because I didn't have the skill or time to re-do my old cracked one and it's ok. It was the only replacement I could find that had speaker holes and a metal frame and came in burgandy. For the 400+ I paid for it...

    Power REAR WINDOW, Suburban Tailgate & Blazer Troubleshooting

    I was having the same issues with my rear window. I put in a jumper to cancel out that rear safety switch and replaced the electrical connections on the lock cylinder and mine started working again.

    Headlight Upgrade Woes

    Just wanted to let ya'll know I got them going in case it helps anyone else. I ended up swapping the LOW and the GROUND connections and they work great now. The harness I used is Painless Performance 30814 if anyone was interested. It's not cheap compared to the ebay and LMC one, but it is...

    Headlight Upgrade Woes

    It would be a disaster if I tried to make my own harness lol. Thanks for all the info, yeah it's a 4 bulb system on the one in my avatar. I'll try switching the ground. Should I be using a different bulb besides h4 in the high beams? I had these laying around so I put them in but then was...

    Headlight Upgrade Woes

    Hey guys, I've been fighting with my headlights off and on the past couple of months while working on other things so I'm gonna break down and ask for some advice. The previous owner had already changed the light housings to the style that can accept h4 bulbs instead of the sealed beams, but...

    Who makes the best dash pad?

    I'm in process of finishing the install on one from USA1 too. It looks good, the texture is nice, we did have to spend a few hours trimming to get the vents and other areas to fit properly.

    Weird looking instrument panel light bulb holder.

    Hey guys, I've been redoing my dash and AC ducting and instrument panel, and when we took off the light bulb holders, we didn't pay attention to where this weird one with the tube on it went. I was searching online and saw one similar, but it had these black wires or hoses attached to it and...
