    The Stupid Interior Questions Thread

    I did find some leather seats from a 96 Tahoe for $50. The frames were good and work plus they are heated. The Leather was trashed I am going to convert both to heated. The plugs are the same except for the non heated one pin is missing. The owner had used the Tahoe for parts so I got many...

    14-18 Rear Bumper Swap (No Welding)

    another question. What did the OP do about the opening for the spare tire hoist shaft not lining with the shaft? The rod that goes into the hoist rod has to be straight or the rod will round off. I am going to try a hex 5/8 hex impact socket and 1/2 inch "wobble" adapter.

    14-18 Rear Bumper Swap (No Welding)

    Update. I was able to use my old license plate lights in. The new lenses are held in place with 1 screw. Just made the opening in the new bumper a little larger. The old harness worked but a little tight. This should work till I can find one at a P&P.

    Tailgate Replacement

    I wonder if anyone has tried to install the latch mechanism from a 2012 or later truck in a GMT 400. My brother has a 2012 and it closes so easy. I am replacing the hinges soon because it won't open wothout lifting the right side first.

    14-18 Rear Bumper Swap (No Welding)

    I completed the install. Wasn't a complicated as I thought. One issue I had was centering the bumper and to correct it I used steel gas pipe for spacers and cut 2 at1.5 inchs long for the passenger side and 2 at 2.25 inches long for the driver side . The bumper barely cleared the class 3...

    I have looked around, and have not found it yet. Drilling holes in cigarette lighter.

    A related question. If I have my radar/laser detector plugged into the middle port the detector will shut off the on when I start he truck. But if plugged into either outer ports it will stay on when starting with no effect. I usually turn it off anyway when I'm not driving but I do forget...

    14-18 Rear Bumper Swap (No Welding)

    I was thinking that also but I did notice that the metal in th enew bumper and the included brackets are a lot thinner so I doubt that would be an issue. If it was then the argument could be made as to how many 2014-18 trucks that were rear ended where the Ins Co denied the claim for repair...

    92 K2500 Trailer Brake Controller connection

    The orange and blue wires won't be under the dash. I found mine under the hydro boost brake master cylinder unit in the engine bay. The other wires on the cross member behind rear bumper will most likely be under the dash . I haven't looked but I have a tone device and probe from my phone...

    Best trailer brakes?

    I have the same unit and love it. Have the knob mounted high to right of steering wheel above cargo light switch To manually activate I don't need to take my hand off the wheel. With boat trailer surge disc brakes the back up light has to be wired to 7 pin round and use an adapter to convert to...

    Door panels

    Some of the Escalade SUV's, similar to the tahoes, I have seen are more of a cream color. The console I got was grey but when taking it apart the color looked off. I applied some water based paint stripper and turns out it was painted grey the original color like my 96 Silverado but a lighter...

    Seat Swap

    I did not like the seats I found. I did find a set out of a 96 Tahoe. plus they both are powered and heated. Leather is trashed on driver's side but I have a guy that does great work. Going back to the same fabric as in original, Will reuse head rests and arm rests from current seats.

    Door panels

    The complete front door panel should fit. If the color matches then better. However you will have to remove the panel from the door to get the the wood look trim pieces. I would buy all four door panels and sell what I didn't need. I don't think that the Ecalades interior ever came in grey or...

    Escalade door panel wood trim removal help

    This is the rear door trim. . 3 plastic studs with a threaded insert on each end for a machine screw. Drilling is required unless the holes we made in when the panels were made. I found that by pressing the trim piece up against the panle it would leave an impression in the fabric showing where...

    Door panels

    I saw a set in a Suburban in Charleston that the owner would sell they had wood trim like an aftermarket custom mod. I posted some pics on another "door panel" thread. Too bad Dupi Color only makes 3 colors of their Vinyl and fabric paint. I wonder if a special color can be ordered or mixed...

    Escalade door panel wood trim removal help

    I guess that drilling holes in my existing door panels to accept the Escalade trim would be the trick. I think the "nuts " that hold the trim piece to the Escalade panel are the kind made of thin metal and not machines but die stamped. I have seen them on other trim parts and care must be taken...
