Was not me, never got around to posting any pictures after it was done. I bought mine from GMPartsdirect.com, along with extra bolts.

Unfortunately, the first generation of the "sharkfin's" like to leak. You can pull down your headliner and check it. Pretty sure the XM module is in the glove box (behind it), along with a whole lot of other stuff. There are videos on you tube about changing it out.

Has it been raining where you are at? You did not list year of truck, if it an early one (14, 15) you might have a leak around your antennae that has corroded the inside of the unit.

Service Component, Under Body Shield 23135959 1 $65.52 Shipped Service Component, Under Body Shield 23135960 1 $65.52 Shipped are the part numbers I ordered from GMPartsdirect in 2018. Z71 should already have the metal skid plate from the factory for the transfer case.

That looks pretty cool looking!!! Nice 3D effect with the blue color.

Looks great, did the same thing to mine over the summer. Did you buy the kit with all 3 pieces, and replace your existing skid plate cover?

Dang, objects in passenger mirror are a lot closer than they should be!!! Don't even think that is the angle of the camera.

Welcome to the site, great looking truck!!!

Welcome, and congratulations on your new truck. Where was your cat on the truck in the next picture? Warm hood is such a great place for a "cat nap"!

Honestly, I would open a claim with GM (if you already have not) and go through the process of a buy back. Personally, I would not let the future of my truck be in the hands of any branch of our government. And pissing off a global giant may not be the best route, if they even care about your posts. How is your relationship with the dealership at this point? They can be your biggest asset in getting out, or having the truck fixed. Have gone through both a "trade allowance" and a "buy back" since 2014, and it is not fun, but it is an end to the means.

I have always lived by the philosophy, you meet two types of people, ones that will make a difference in your life, and the ones who are not worth the time it took to introduce themselves.

Some need to have common sense first, to have it beat out of them......

So, I guess reading is maybe something you feel is not too important when it comes to everyday interactions. My quote was, I thought $125.00 was a lot to pay for an air filter, used K&N as an example, not as a guideline everyone on here should use, and also on another post I listed that I do use OEM AC Delco. And, how would I ever know you "supposedly" have decades of experience with anything not failing? Besides "your word", how would anyone know? And, how would you ever know what, or what I can not do when it comes to a vehicle, you are a great example of what this forum has become, opinions, and Aholes with them.

If that was meant for me, use the quote tab at the bottom of the post. Since I know have no credibility on any subject, enlighten me on what you use, price, and I will run out and follow your lead Thank you very much for the subliminal call out......

So, the OEM filters for my 14 and 16, along with our 16 Tahoe are white. Just ordered one for my 18, and it is yellow/gold, is this comparable/same as the NAPA gold everyone is talking about?

Looks good. Any details to share? Any other shots of the light itself?

Plumb Bob is a good idea too, he is usually pretty accurate.

Wholly crap, $125..00 for an air filter. Is it worth the money? It is cool looking, but a K&N is less than half the price.

Congratulations on your new truck, the wife has good taste. Had a 2004 also, they have come a long way.

If you want to be exact, find a "straight edge" and run it parallel with your front license plate to the ground, make a mark, then do the same with rear bumper, and both mirrors. Pull your truck away and measure the distance between the marks, it will give a pretty close "police outline" of your truck, then you can transpose it to your garage floor to see exactly how it will fit.

Looks good, what did you use to bring down the rear?

Welcome to the site! Great looking truck!!!

Based on input information from various sensors or from other systems through the serial data network, the ESC module can fine-tune the ride height and damping characteristics. The complexity of the system, however, makes it vulnerable to a few unique problems. <a href="http://www5.smartadserver.com/ac?jump=1&nwid=1775&siteid=99097&pgname=dynamic-ros&fmtid=46172&visit=m&tmstp=[timestamp]&out=nonrich" target="_blank">< img src="http://www5.smartadserver.com/ac?out=nonrich&nwid=1775&siteid=99097&pgname=dynamic-ros&fmtid=46172&visit=m&tmstp=[timestamp]" border="0" alt="" /></a> Owners of GM vehicles equipped with an ESC system may comment that they are experiencing one or more of the following suspension issues. Here are the four most common conditions we have identified and the recommended repairs: Fig. 2 Condition 1: The “Service Suspension System” message is displayed on the driver information center (DIC) and the rear suspension ride height is incorrect. When checking for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), the ESC module will have DTC C0696 and/or C0711 set. This condition could be caused by the wiring to the automatic level control (ALC) pressure sensor being shorted to ground at the locations shown. See Figs 1 and 2. Note: The air compressor assembly may need to be removed from the vehicle to determine if the wiring is possibly pinched between the compressor assembly and frame. <a href="http://www5.smartadserver.com/ac?jump=1&nwid=1775&siteid=99097&pgname=dynamic-ros&fmtid=46171&visit=m&tmstp=[timestamp]&out=nonrich" target="_blank">< img src="http://www5.smartadserver.com/ac?out=nonrich&nwid=1775&siteid=99097&pgname=dynamic-ros&fmtid=46171&visit=m&tmstp=[timestamp]" border="0" alt="" /></a> Condition 2: There is a “Service Suspension System” message on the DIC and the rear suspension ride height may be lower than normal under a heavy payload. When checking for DTCs, the ESC module will have DTC C0711 set. This condition may be caused by an internal fault in the ALC pressure sensor. This may occur due to moisture getting into the sensor. Condition 3: There is a loose hose hanging down in the left rear of the vehicle. Upon inspection, it may be determined that the hose is damaged or has become disconnected from the air inlet filter of the ALC suspension air compressor. Condition 4: The ALC compressor is no longer performing a self-test (compressor activating for a few seconds) at start up. <a href="http://www5.smartadserver.com/ac?jump=1&nwid=1775&siteid=99097&pgname=dynamic-ros&fmtid=46172&visit=m&tmstp=[timestamp]&out=nonrich" target="_blank">< img src="http://www5.smartadserver.com/ac?out=nonrich&nwid=1775&siteid=99097&pgname=dynamic-ros&fmtid=46172&visit=m&tmstp=[timestamp]" border="0" alt="" /></a> Fig. 3 (Click to enlarge) Recommended Repairs Condition 1: Do not replace the complete air compressor assembly for this condition. Repair any damaged or shorted circuits and then reposition the wiring so it doesn’t get damaged again during the compressor assembly installation. Condition 2: Do not replace the complete air compressor assembly for this condition. Follow diagnostic procedures for DTC C0711 to determine if the ALC pressure sensor needs to be replaced. Note that the sensor is no longer serviced separately. When replacing the sensor, install a complete air filter, dryer and sensor assembly. Installing this complete assembly will provide a better repair than replacing the sensor only. See Fig. 3 Condition 3: Do not replace the complete air compressor assembly for this condition. Replace the ALC compressor air inlet filter and hose assembly. 1. Safely raise and support the vehicle. 2. Release the air compressor air inlet filter (1 in Fig. 4) from the retainer (2 in Fig. 4). Secure the rear axle vent hose and compressor air inlet to the fuel fill pipe assembly. 3. Remove the remaining air inlet hose (3 in Fig. 4) from the air compressor. 4. Install the new air inlet filter and hose assembly. Ensure the air inlet hose (3 in Fig. 4) is routed as shown. Fig. 4 Condition 4: The automatic level system will not normally cycle the compressor when turning the ignition key on. The ESC module checks the automatic level system pressure at start up. If the pressure is below 10 psi (69 kpa) then the module will operate the compressor to add air to the shocks as a replenishment cycle. This typically would only happen if the vehicle sat for a long period of time or there was a very small leak. The correction for many of the ESC system conditions may be solved by one or more of the recommended repairs described above. Be sure to follow the diagnostic and repair process thoroughly and complete each step.

Partners With Federated Auto Parts Cornwell Quality Tools Expands Platinum Series Tool Box Line SKF Extends Its Line Of Knuckle Assemblies To Include 2002-2006 Nissan Altima 3.5L Richmond Raceway Honors Federated CEO Rusty Bishop Some ball joints must be installed in a specific orientation to function correctly. These ball joints are designed to allow for a large amount of ball stud swing in the cross-car or side-to-side direction as the suspension travels up and down. The trade-off is that they have less swing in the opposite or front-to-back direction. As a result, directional ball joints have an index mark on the housing in the form of a hole, dimple, notch, arrow, etc. <a href="http://www5.smartadserver.com/ac?jump=1&nwid=1775&siteid=99097&pgname=dynamic-ros&fmtid=46172&visit=m&tmstp=[timestamp]&out=nonrich" target="_blank">< img src="http://www5.smartadserver.com/ac?out=nonrich&nwid=1775&siteid=99097&pgname=dynamic-ros&fmtid=46172&visit=m&tmstp=[timestamp]" border="0" alt="" /></a> These marks indicate which way the ball joint has the largest amount of swing and must point outboard, toward the wheel of the vehicle when installed. Failure to install a directional ball joint in the correct orientation could result in damage to the ball joint due to over travel of the ball stud.

Just replaced both rear shock on our 2016 Tahoe LTZ, $1700.00 out of pocket. 55000 miles. Let me know if you get something going, I have my receipts. Welcome to the site, wish your intro could have been under better circumstances.

My mistake, fuse box on drivers side, and if I am wrong on that one, passengers side. Pretty sure this time, drivers side like above poster said.
