A Country Lifestyle
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 24 พ.ค. 2021
Welcome to our channel. We live a simple lifestyle and try to be as sustainable as possible. If it breaks, we try to fix it instead of throwing it in the trash. If we can build it, then we will build it rather than buy a manufactured one. We have bees, cut and bale hay, and build stuff on our 10 acres. We have a lot of projects coming up that we will post on here, like a mobile chicken coop, perimeter fence around our property, and it seems like we are always trying to keep up with the bees in the spring.
Using the NOCO BOOST HD to Jump Start a Dead Battery
I got this NOCO Boost HD for Christmas a year ago and hadn't really used it much, but man this thing is cool. If you have ever jump started a vehicle using jumper cables, you will not believe how easy the NOCO Boost HD is to use. Essentially you hook it up and start your vehicle...even if the battery is completely drained!

Simple Cornbread with 2 Ingredients

This is how we make our cornbread with just self rising corn meal and water. You can add an egg to help hold it together, honey to make it sweeter, jalepenos to give it a little heat, cracklins .... and the list goes on.

How to fix a 2007 - 2013 Chevrolet Avalanche or Silverado Dash for less than $150 using DashSkin
มุมมอง 146K3 ปีที่แล้ว
This is a link to the DashSkins for a Chevrolet Avalanche: dashskin.com/all/chevrolet/avalanche My dash cracked in 2 locations and a big piece went missing. I always thought a "skin" over the original dash wouldn't look good. I was wrong. I got a DashSkin and installed it and if you don't know it is there, then you wouldn't know that there was ever a problem. I checked my receipt and I did orde...
How To Build Simple Raised Garden Beds

I will do this instead of taking apart my truck lol thanks bud I appreciate the info
I know this video is 3 years old but I just find it today. How did this skin do long term? Looked great when you were finished
Thanks. Very helpful. Wasn't sure how to take off the old wipers!
Glad I could help!
Thanks. I got a couple of good ideas.
Glad I could help
Can you send me the link to purchase the dash skin?
3 years later, hows the cover holding out? Any warps or anything to speak of?
I sold it but there were no issues up to that point
Thank you for this! We passed our 2011 Avalanche onto our son. His dash is cracked in almost the same spot. Do you know what we can do to help the back from slats from leaking?
I didn’t have much problem with leakage in mine. I think the key would be to find out where the water is getting in and concentrate on what is wrong in that area.
How does this hold up as far as warping after baking in the summer sun? I live in Georgia and this is the concern I have.
I didn’t have any problems with warping, but I am in Ohio. I think it will hold up well based upon my experience with it.
I think your video sucks because you can’t hear or see anything try again
Sorry about that
It says in the instructions don't use alcohol
I must have missed that but I had no issues with mine
I bought one and contemplating to place it over the dash. Wondering if there are some kind of clips to use on clips that have broken.
I would contact DashSkin and see what they recommend.
Every vehicle with this same dash had this issues even after a year old. GM went downhill after the bailout. Dont even get me going on the issues with my c7.
Yep pretty common issue
Would it work on a 2008 ?
It should. Check with the manufacturer to make sure
They make a dashskin for 2008. Lots of videos out there showing how to repair dash cracks but the dashskin is the way to go. The other repairs don’t last long. I’ve been fixing car interiors for over 20 years
I found the Valco tool SOOO helpful for this job. Worth the 25-30 bucks. And it gets almost all the product out of the tubes.
Glad it helped!
Thank you!
My pleasure!
Thank you for the video. 2 years later. I have the same truck you have and 2 years ago I got sick of the rattling noise from the cracks in the dash. I ended up paying 800 US dollars at the dealership to change. I wish I saw your video then Did you have a problem withe evap system? A week ago I dropped a thousand to change it.
Ouch!!! I never got a cost from the dealership to fix mine but I figured it would be near $1,000 I didn’t have a problem with the evap system.
Appreciate your help, but why does buick make this so damned complicated? Over engineered.
Yep takes some work to get this one off.
I’m curious if the dash sensor being buried a little is affected? Actually I don’t even know what that sensor does to be honest, lol. Thanks for doing this video. Every single Chevy pick up built from 2007 on has the airbag corner crack- this is an elegant solution!
I didn’t notice any difference in the sensor.
It's a light sensor for daytime running lights
I think mine is still good but it does not touch anymore at the end of the blade. How would I tighten it to the window?
It is probably worn. I would replace it and see if that fixes it.
How will you replace that $15.00 Ambient Light Sensor? 😂
I didn’t replace it and I didn’t notice any problems with it.
@@acountrylifestyle1137 Mine has the dash cover and if it goes bad you have to remove the whole thing just to get to it.
@11:38 that chevy pickup 🔥😍
Yep…nice truck!
❤❤
Thanks
Thank you, it worked on my Envision the same way - pushing up did it!
Excellent!
I love your voice!!!
Thank you for the kind words.
Thanks for a great and calming video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yeah it maybe a lipstick on a pig solution, but it works. It beats buying a whole new dash.
Ha! That is one way of looking at it!
Thank you sir for this video
How is it doing today???
Most welcome
Great job with the install and the video. Beautiful countryside you are riding through. What area of the country are you in?
Thanks. I am in Ohio
I ALWAYS PUT A PIECE OF CARDBOARD OR A FLOOR MAT ON THE WINDOW IN CASE I ACCIDENTLY LET GO OF THE SPRING-LOADED STEEL WIPER ARM SO IT WON'T BREAK THE GLASS WINDSHIELD.
Good idea.
This is the best and easy way to get it done 😊😊😊thank you 😊 🙌🙌🙌
You're welcome 😊
Thanks
No problem
I wouldn't call covering a cracked dash "fixing it".
It may not be as good as replacing the dash, but for the money it is a good fix for a problem area
Is the silicone still holding good??
It was when I sold it, which was about a year after I fixed it. I think it is important to make sure your existing dash is REALLY clean prior to applying the silicone to make sure you get a good bond
I was super happy to see the rattle test drive. Thank you!
Had to test it out, and I thought people would be interested in how it performed.
I got a Dashskin for the wife's 07 Tahoe. It was so cracked you could lift large pieces up so I taped it all up before putting on the skin. Wow the thing looks brand new now.
I hear you. I wished I would have done mine sooner!
Thanks!!
My pleasure!
The dash cracks in the same spots on these vehicles. GMC should’ve really owned this issue.
Agreed!

Agreed!
GM dashes were cheap plastic that era.
I agree
@@acountrylifestyle1137 It was the era when GM was broke so they made vehicles as cheap as possible.
Thank for helping us out appreciate it a lot
My pleasure. I dealt with it for a while. So, hopefully others don’t put up with it as long as I did!
Thank you for the background music, so many vids ads orchestrated for a 19 year old hip hop metalhead or something. Nice job on the vid and explanation. Getting ready to go out and do mine. For weights I made up a batch of 1 gal sandbags, live by the desert, sand is free. Your dash looked way better than mine, I also use gorilla tape, plus the big loose pieces I removed and used hardware cloth and epoxy to strengthen it.
Thanks for the kind words. Hope your installation went well!
Thanks for the simple, straightforward video! I've replaced them before but needed a reminder on removing the current blades. Wish more video's were as clear and concise. Appreciate your time making & posting this!!!
My pleasure. Glad it helped.
What causes this? I just bought my avalanche a week ago and it has the same crack by the air bag.
I am not sure but if I had to guess, I would say material quality is the main issue.
Cause gm cheaper out on the part…they claimed bankruptcy in 09… so I’m sure they were using the cheapest supplier when this body came out in 07…. All they had to do was request ea dash be a bit more thicker , but no…..the 99-06 dashes hold up better than this pos dash
I think you sold me on this.
I should get a commission! Glad to help others with this problem!
Thank you so much Ralph!!
My pleasure
Great video. Thanks for making.
Thanks for the kind words!
My boi has the most soothing voice I've herd ever invest in that. Lol
Thanks
After a year has it now turned into a bunch of rattles or is the dash nice and quiet?
Pretty much like when I installed it when I sold it.
I don't know, two rolls of economy silver duct tape ad you are done. Right? Just kidding...enjoyed the video.
Lol. Duct tape or WD-40 fixes anything
That's way to new to already be brittle. It seems like everything is being produced as cheaply as possible and designed to last just until the warranty expires. Qoth parts marketed to be cost prohibited to replace ir repair.
Agree
