I might have a spare RSE panel from a Tahoe we scrapped years ago. Maybe I will give it a try. I got the Mic installed up by the rearview mirror for the Bluetooth and it works excellently. I also installed the PAC RCA noise filters and they do combat much of the "whine". Even with the RSE...

Took advantage of the warm weather today and washed the cars.

Yes, I will definitely do that. There was a name for it I saw through all my searching but it has completely escaped me. I did also remove some of the electrical tape to try and peel the speaker wires further from the speaker wires. And ultimately, your right. There could be an underlying issue...

The whine has always been there when selecting the XM radio function with the OEM HU. Normal radio, it wasnt there before. Now with the aftermarket radio the whine is across all sources BT, radio, and Aux. I think I am going to try an InstallBay 30A noise filter on the incoming power to the...

Spent some time really trying to put together wiring diagrams for the audio system. Just really trying to understand its grounding system more than anything. Its so tough to find any decent wiring diagrams without some type of expensive subscription or a sweet set of original GM documents (not...

Ah, 10-4. I read that wrong.

I would assume its all internal, I think that's the case on a GMT800. The alternator is newer (3-years old) as I replaced it in a precautionary manner back when I got the Yukon. I actually have an old spare alternator in the basement for a backup. Would it be worth trying to unplug the...

We got blitzed again this morning. Another good 6-inches.

Update. The ground wire trick did NOT work. Still lots of RPM noise in the speakers. I just purchased some PAC RCA inline noise filters which should be here Saturday. So annoying, not a fan of the bose setup. I should try and bypass the amp to see if it works, but I know ill miss the amp and...

Performed the grounding trick, we will see if it improves anything. My backup plan is to get true RCA filters from PAC. Stripped a small piece of wire, wound it tight, and wrapped it accordingly between some local screws. Swapped out my junk Duralast universal plug wires and installed a nice...

Welcome! Always interested in pics!

Yes it does, and I've actually replaced that because it was making noise. Maybe 2-3 years ago IIRC. Good thought though. This noise is definitely coming through all door speakers when radio is on, doesn't matter the source. Since its the door speakers I know those go through RCA connections so...

I did get the aftermarket radio in. Sounds 10x better even with Bose amp and old speakers still involved. I found out I roasted the mic cable extracting it from the JY vehicle. I ordered a new one today with the best "clarity" ratings from the Jungle site. I also have a grounding loop noise...

Best part about these older (not that 05 is that old, but I guess it is!) vehicles!

Also did something I wouldn't normally do. Picked up an aftermarket stereo kit from the junkyard for dirt cheap. Im dying for decent Bluetooth. My cheap version works on the stock head unit, but looking for better quality. It came with the interface for the steering controls including plug and...

Got the oil changed today after trying to unfreeze the Yukon. Sat in the shop all day and still dripping. Embarrassed to admit this, but I was way overdue on this oil change. I normally go 5k mile intervals. I didnt realize I was nearly 7k... had more metallic sludge than I would have hoped...

Im sure the underside is coated in heavy ice build up. Its been so cold so long that it hasnt had a chnace to melt at all. Could very well be a blockage, was just strange as I think geats 2 and 1 worked first thing when the truck was completely frozen. Last I inspected the shifter cable when I...

Was a cold one today. Just below zero this AM with strong winds resulting in -20 to -30 degree wind chills. We had a good 5-inches with heavy drifting. The Yukon was doing its thing till I just completed plow then I could no longer shift to gears 2 and 1. Of course we had an hour trip planned so...

Was driving yesterday and heard a big thud and something dragging. Ended up being a large really frozen chunk wedged between the body rocker, running board, and the frame. It swung down, hit the ground and wedged up into the body/frame. Ended up breaking my snow brush, luckily had some long...

A-frame looks good. Only other things I could think of is worn out trip springs, or if the blade has a lot of slop where it connects to the a-frame.
