    Vent window adjustment?

    I just got my vent windows back from Precision who did a full rebuild on both. I was hoping it was going to fix the wind noise I was having around them, but it seems actually worse. I’ve attached a video and some pictures. The seal at the top is not adequate. I’m getting a ton of noise...

    Retrosound Troubleshooting

    I've found a couple other ones that the companies at least have some positive feedback on Reddit. https://carpuride.com/collections/carpuride-w903/products/carpuride-w903-portable-smart-multimedia-dashboard-console-with-dual-cameras...

    Retrosound Troubleshooting

    By waiting do you mean you found one and it's coming in the mail, or waiting for someone to make a good one?

    Retrosound Troubleshooting

    They were originally, but I’ve moved them. I’ve also tried running the RCAs direct to the amp with both the amp and head unit on the floor a foot apart and the power wires separate and far away. Crutchfield said they think it’s the head unit but are sending rca noise filters to try. I will...

    Retrosound Troubleshooting

    I know these radios are far from top of the line, and I have read they are prone to RFI. That being said they look the part and have Bluetooth so I am trying to make this work. I am getting a high pitched sound out of the component speakers I just installed and I can’t figure out why. Here is...

    1989 Suburban Rear Passenger (Driver side) Door Tinted Glass

    Got lucky at a junkyard this morning. They had the door glass. I also grabbed the passenger side glass and large side rear glass as backups.

    1989 Suburban Rear Passenger (Driver side) Door Tinted Glass

    I walked out to my Burb today and somehow the door glass is cracked. I have no idea how it happened. Elon Musk must have thrown a giant ball bearing at it. Does anyone have any leads on replacement tinted glass for the rear passenger (driver side)?

    Oil Canning in Driver Door at Handle

    So I was able to fix my door with just epoxy. I used DP190 because we have a ton of it at work. For my oil canning, it was caused by the existing stiffener around the handle not being bonded to the door skin. I stuck a plastic panel tool in between the two to create a gap so I could squirt in...

    Speaker pods/General stereo questions

    I think one 12" would be enough and I would go sealed instead of ported. I like the tighter vs boomier bass anyway. I have been looking at the swing out hitch mounted spare tire carriers: https://dirtcomusa.com/products/trail-swing-hd https://www.rigdsupply.com/collections/ultraswing

    Speaker pods/General stereo questions

    I like your box in the back. I'll be very interested to hear how you like it. I am working a similar project on my burb. I went with 3.5" Infinity Reference in the dash corners, Kenwood 4x10s in the back, and a Retrosound head unit. It sounds way better than the barely functional radio and...

    Bilstein Shocks Bushing/Sleeve Question

    Thanks, Grit dog, I appreciate the input. Different shocks would definitely be easier, but I'd rather find out how to use these, since like you said, they are supposed to be good shocks. If I need to make a custom stepped spacer or something to use these shocks, I am ok with that. It does...

    Bilstein Shocks Bushing/Sleeve Question

    I have seen some mention of this in the threads but nothing with enough detail. 1989 V1500 Suburban I installed 2" lift custom leaf springs from ORD. Much improved ride quality btw. They came with 5125 Bilstein shocks. 8.13" travel in the front and 10" travel in the rear. The metal sleeve...

    Oil Canning in Driver Door at Handle

    Painting is beyond my skill set. I'd have to have it done somewhere. The existing paint was redone at some point by the previous owner. It's not show room quality and has numerous imperfections, but is decent for a daily driver/camping rig. I have the door apart anyway to redo all the...

    Oil Canning in Driver Door at Handle

    Doppleganger, Very cool, that's along the lines I was thinking but with a bent edge flange to increase rigidity. Something like this. However, the flange is gonna have to be pretty short. I though there was more room between the panel and the window because when the window is down there is...

    Oil Canning in Driver Door at Handle

    The good news is it's popped mostly out and doesn't look that bad if you're not looking for it....and it's a truck after all. I just make sure to pull and push from the right side of the handle. If I make a stiffener that works easily I'll post it.

    I am not. I don't believe it is, but I am not sure how to tell.

    Oil Canning in Driver Door at Handle

    Thanks for checking. Weird the panel is that soft there. The passenger side doesn't do it on mine to nearly this extent. When the car was shipped the mover was a larger gentleman and apparently had trouble getting between the truck and the side of the transporter and leaned really heavily...

    Oil Canning in Driver Door at Handle

    The driver door oil cans at the handle and I am not sure how to correct it. I attached a video of what it is doing. Is this something people have dealt with before? It seems kind of strange the door is so weak at that point. Is it missing a stiffener or something? The video appears to be...
