Looks great, I've considered adding the oem one, if you don't mind, how much did it run you, estimated.

I got the ones from GM PARTS DIRECT. Both of them cost me around $1300.

I got the ones from GM PARTS DIRECT they match my interior and I am very pleased with them. I've had no trouble. Just wish I could sync all my screens.

Got a link to these?

Installed my overhead DVD player in my 2015 tahoe, and everything works great! PROBLEM IS, every time i open the drivers door the unit beeps really loud for about a full second. Other doors do not trigger this beep. I'm not sure if this is a feature on the unit, or if i did something wrong. Anyone else has had this problem? Thanks in advanced!!

Yellow is for the actual switch power, so when you hit the switch at each light, it will come on. So it goes.....

 

Black - Common/Ground

White - Constant power

Gray - Auto on when you open any door

Yellow - Switch power to just turn that light on.

 

So you will still need to connect the yellow wire if the dvd player as a push button switch to turn the reading light on.

does the yellow wire from the dvd unit connect to the yellow wire out the roof? or do you hook the yellow from the unit with the red and white constant out the roof? 2015 chevy tahoe. Also i posted, the unit beeps really loud when drivers door opens. anyone know why this happens?

I've never been a big fan of the smaller screens on the headrests. I like the bigger screens too.

here are a couple pics of my install

 

here is a picture with the dome light removed and the area behind the head liner with the 2x4s glued in.

then I lined up the template and drilled 4 holes to hold the metal plate
here is the metal plate attached to the headliner
and a few pics after attaching the main body

 

The other nice thing is that it keeps the screen a little farther from their face.

My daughter can get car sick from looking at the smallish screens and these flip downs don't seem to bother her.

 

could you please advise how to remove the light in the back without damaging it - i am new to this truck/ forum and i tried to pry out the light but it is resisting and I do not want to damage it. Also is there a way to disconnect the rear light without cutting wires?

thank you

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sad thing is that this doesn't have to be the case. LSPI can be solved without a reduction in TBN. Swap Ca for Mg.  Cats are not a issue if the OEM can get a ring and valve guide seal even at SN levels of SAPS. Dizzy is purring like a kitten with a bowl of warm milk. 200K of Full SAPS oil and zero detonation issues and nice a clean inside and out. This shouldn't be an issue. It isn't 1920.    Tell ya what AMSOIL SS is excellent at, internal cleanliness. The new formula is even a step up from their already outstanding cleanliness levels. Can't say the OEM offering is quite that clean. There marketing suggest the SS is cleaner.     That is the only defense with at shelf oil. Nothing wrong with them if you ignore the marketing and OEM 'recommended' OCI and use a thimble full of common sense. 😉 You go sir.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By StingerZ16 · Posted

      I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.

      Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?
