    DEAL Review: Lime-Swap PCM tuning

    I just had mine done by him last month. The best part about the loaner program is that he'll send it to you with your settings pre-loaded so you can test them out before sending yours in for tweaking. I ended up changing a few things and am very happy with the outcome.

    How have you cleaned/maintained your window seals/moulding?

    Ok I used the credit card method today and holy shit there was a lot of grime in there! Those sills probably hadn't ever been cleaned. Most of it wasn't even visible from above. I think I got out whatever was scratching the window, though, so mission accomplished.

    Cool, I'll try that. Maybe lube isn't needed and it's just some build up.

    How have you cleaned/maintained your window seals/moulding?

    I'm mainly asking about the stiffer rubber pieces at the bottom of the window (rails? trim? moulding?) that it runs in between. I'd like to clean the inside of these pieces as there's a bit of moss or mold in there, and I would like to lubricate them somehow because they really seem to be...

    Replaced rear suspension airbags, now the compressor won't re-inflate.

    I measured the space between the fender and tire on both sides last night and this morning, and no air lost! So I think this case is closed.

    Replaced rear suspension airbags, now the compressor won't re-inflate.

    Ok. So. Egg on my face. I finally gave up and decided to visit a mechanic I know later this week. I drove it around the block to park until then, got out, and noticed that the bags had indeed inflated to what appears to be the correct ride height. :crazy: The thing is, I never heard the...

    Replaced rear suspension airbags, now the compressor won't re-inflate.

    Follow up question: If I can't get this sorted out, can I drive the car to a mechanic with zero suspension? Obviously it will be very low and I'll have to be careful, but will that cause any damage? EDIT: Follow up question 2: I see failure of the check valve in the compressor is a common issue...

    Thank you, I'll check on the sensors. EDIT: Sensors look fine, no issues visually. Quick question: When inserting the air line into the new bags, do you insert all the way to the little bump on the air line? If so, I may not have inserted them far enough in.

    Thanks for the reply. I played around with the compressor switch but couldn't get the bags to fill. What I've got: 1. Compressor will turn on via the switch inside, it just won't fill the bags nor will it turn on automatically. 2. Neither bag will fill, at all. It is not specific to one side...

    Replaced rear suspension airbags, now the compressor won't re-inflate.

    (That should say "replaced" in the title.) I replaced the bags fine, following Arnott's instructions and some threads here. I know the compressor is still working, as it turns on when I press the inflator button inside the rear hatch. How can I trigger it to go off? Is there a trick? I've got...

    Ideas for how to fix my front center console mount?

    Just to follow up, I used PlasticWeld and it seems to be holding really well. Thanks, guys!

    Ideas for how to fix my front center console mount?

    Thank you, I had never heard of the stuff.

    Ideas for how to fix my front center console mount?

    New (to me) Envoy, so I'm not sure how this happened exactly. The mount under the front cup holder is broken, as seen in the picture attached, so the whole thing is really loose. You can see how it sheared along the edge all the way around the bolt recess (in the picture I am lifting the console...

    Source for speakers?

    I purchased these speakers from Amazon for mine. Cheap and sound good, though I didn't get to hear the stock ones to compare. The only issue is that the holes do not line up on the existing speaker mounts, so I had to drill new ones. Other than that, they've been great.

    How many miles have you got on your GMT

    Just picked up an 02 Envoy from an older relative with 81,000 miles. For as little as I drive, it should last me damn near forever. :biggrin:
