    Day 1 (Sunday Father's Day 2025): flew to Lubbock TX on one way ticket in the AM found out A/C didn't work and negotiated down drive from Lubbock TX to Fort Worth TX after finalizing sale.

    Wireless charging on center console

    For sure. I have two phones (one for work) and I’ve gotten used to throwing it on the wireless charger when I drive my wife’s Yukon. It’s nice to just have it there next to you and I thought with a non slip pad there that would be an added bonus

    Wireless charging on center console

    Just wondering if anyone has installed something similar on their center consoles? Thought about adding a non slip pad but this kills two birds with one stone https://boostautoparts.com/products/99-02-gm-charging

    Yes see them all the time around here as well! So many still trucking along was another reason I wanted to get into one. That’s some impressive mileage on original drivetrain!

    I failed to share this additional backstory in my intro post I got to drive the family 2001 Z71 suburban for my senior year of college. Fell in love. Graduation comes around and I ask my dad if I can buy it from him. Could have gotten it for like $5500. He wouldn’t sell it to me, and ended...

    thanks tonimus, I can promise you this engine bay has not been washed and has west TX dust throughout :) I actually got a quote for dry ice cleaning and it's not horrible ($225), difference is night and day and safer than washing. appreciate the feedback on the GMT800, at first i was a little...
