Appreciate the video! I’ve been wanting to set my fog lights to come on with my DRLs and low beams. Might try this approach minus the high beam. Maybe using the wiring below the box. BTW in my experience the fog light wiring and sockets on these are prone to burning up. After replacing my sockets I’m running LED fog light bulbs and it lowers the current draw.

USAA auto claim sucks …

USAA's Auto Insurance fees have skyrocketed over the past three years. And when you need them during a claim they will be working against you 100%. USAA is terrible and they couldn't care less about the veterans they falsely claim to care about. You have been warned. I have done my part to protect you.

Any way you could drop some screenshots of your tune to control these I have done the same conversion and worried I will burn my wiring harness up if I don’t do it correctly

USAA insurance is pure garbage. They could not care less for people or the vets. claim agent and the dam "manager" never get back to you when you call and leave a vm.

I’m also worried my toolbox may pose a problem getting a pry bar down from top

Why not use some silicone on new install?

So can I get a 2007 escalade fan to put on my 07 Tahoe? Can I use the same harness and would it improve performance... The AC is reduced at stop lights for some reason

Great job. Thanks for your video. Easy, doesn't have to be perfect fix, is just what I was looking for.

The GFCI outlet is upside down😂😂

A couple of years ago, I had a hail damage claim filed with USAA. I've been with USAA for over 50 + years and had good experience with them. However the shop I was using told me they had been a preferred USAA repair facility but that they, the repair facility, had dropped USAA because they had gotten difficult to deal with. USAA wouldn't answer their phone or return voice messages. They no longer liked dealing with them. I've been shopping for a new bank and insurance company. Banking has gone down hill as well.

Similar story here. I’ll make a video someday. You can get an operator on phone by pressing 0 many times. The operator told me outright “the company is not what it used to be. “. Then my new claims agent, who has been as helpful as he can be, basically told me the company tried to commit state fraud on me, and he verified it with another company and the DMV. I went to DMV and verified it too. So, if you have this company only keep liability only, not full coverage!!!! If you have to file a claim, hire an expert to evaluate thing before you do. When the employees turn against the company, it won’t be in business much longer. Solomon Smith Barney company went out of business in a matter of days because of cheating people. Inflation is forcing insurance companies to change but to mislead and deceive “members” is illegal fraud and is not sustainable.

Do not use USAA. They don’t care one bit about Veterans but they put on one hell of a show to pretend like they do. My wife and I used them for over 25 years until recently. We were in an accident that wasn’t our fault and now we are forced to pay the remaining $30k on a totaled car because they cancelled our insurance the month before without us even knowing. Trust me, use anyone but them.

Thank you, for this video, i will never do business with USAA.

I need to do this to my 2007 Chevy Suburban 2500 also. Can I use any harness from a Tahoe, 1500 Suburban, Escalade, GMC Yukon? I've watched other videos and the computer harnesses look different from my 2500 Suburban. I sent you an email too if that makes this easier.

Thanks for this video, just did the swap on my 2007 Yukon Xl 2500. I avoided swapping the entire harness by just taking the 4 fan wires from the X1 connector to the fuse box on a 1500 harness and adding them to mine. I do have one question, now my voltage seems to run a little low (below 14v maybe like 13) when the fans are running on high in idle. I think you mentioned in a comment that you adjusted some of the alternator parameters, what did you adjust?

I was with USAA for 26 years before I ever filed my first claim (renter's insurance). They didn't pay a penny, and I had an environmental expert complete an entire report, documenting that there was a total loss of the contents due to a neighbor's HVAC condensation line blocking and causing a water event that flooded both of our units. They are the WORST company. Wayne Peacock has destroyed USAA. Just like you said, you gain NOTHING but a total ordeal dealing with them.

disagree with your tale entirely on usaa. ive had two claims in the last year and a half, one car one home and it was a breeze. my car was totaled they gave me a 1000 dollar credit to pay for my rental car. when i went to buy a new car they told me to call them when i was ready to buy. found a car and called them they wired the money directly to the dealership in about 10 mins and the amount was more then fair market value for the car home insurance claim. they gave me a check for 50k to fix the home which was more then my gc quoted to fix the damage. they also paid me my lost rent for every month the house was vacant for repairs

I just opened a usaa bank account because I wanted insurance with them as well. Thought I’d do everything in one spot. Glad I looked in to it before switching insurance. I know they used to be top notch. After talking with several friends in body and auto shops, I hear nothing good anymore.

Finally someone made a video addressing this and fixing it, getting ready to do my 07 yukon 2500. Tired of the loss of ac and overheating at stop lights. Thank you foe this👍👌

Is the tuning something that goes to a shop or u do urself

I have my wiring harness, getting ready to order fans and HP Tuners next. If I would have known the computer part was that easy, I would have done this long ago.

Hello, Do you recall the part number for that harness. I cannot seem to find what I am looking for.

Did you need the entire harness? Couldn’t just the wires to the fan work ?

Thank u sir , I’ve drive myself crazy on this one

Quietest muffler ever.

I have a credit card account with USAA but I didn't want their car insurance, mainly because they were located outside of Arkansas. So I chose State Farm because they have an office here in town. The reason I didn't want my car insurance from an out of town company is because if I ever needed to file a claim, I wanted to be able to physically go to the company with my claim and not have to go through the hassle of dealing with a claim over the phone. I have no complaints about State Farm whatsoever and just like a good neighbor, they have been fair and reasonable. I'm not trying to get into your business or tell you what to do backyarddoall. But even though your two vehicles are General Motors products, the parts may not be interchangeable because they are two different types of vehicles. One being a luxury type and the other one is not. And just like you, I try to save money whenever I can, but when it comes to repairs or routine maintenance for my 2010 Caddy DTS, I don't do the shade tree mechanic thing. It always go to the Caddy dealership, or any dealership, except independent car dealers, that work on Caddys. My Caddy is going on 14 years, it has 64,500 plus miles on it, it rides much better than those new "baby Caddies" and because of professional maintenance and lots of tender loving care, it's in excellent condition and it looks like new too. Your vehicle is 20 plus years old and it sounds like it's seen it's best days with all those problems. If I were you, I would trade it, sell it or do whatever you have to do but make your wife happy again and find her something else nice to drive, my man!

Just try using their credit cards. Never again. Their useless.

every state have an insurance commission to deal with issues caused by any insurance company. Call them and file a complaint against USAA. IMO

USAA and PROGRESSIVE IS ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!!!!! THEY REFUSE TO PAY OUT ON ANYTHING!!!!!

Over $500 per month averaging . I’m guessing the dodge was the majority of it

My rate has gone from $165/mo to $298/mo for two older vehicles in the past two years with no claims. I got stuck at work a few weeks ago, the water pump locked up and shreaded the belt. I had the parts in the truck because I was planning on replacing them the next day. Asked for a tow to my house. I sat in my freezing truck for four hours while tow company after tow company denied the tow. Finally a Marine Veteran got the call and actually drove an hour to pick up my truck and drive me 50 miles home. I'm sure my rate will go over $400 now.

Sadly, this is par for the course with every insurance company. I work with body shops across three states in the south, and I can tell you horror stories from every single one of them, whether it be from the shop's perspective, the policy holder's perspective, or my perspective. Insurance, as an industry, is outright racketeering, and the fact that there are still no enforceable regulations is nothing short of a travesty. I'm sorry you've had such a bad experience. Filing and fulfilling a claim is a stressful nightmare. That truck, however, is worth whatever it takes to keep on the road! They're not entirely without issues, but they're cheap and easy to work on, parts are (for the most part) readily available, and they're incredibly reliable when cared for! Wishing you all the best, thank you for taking the time to tell your story!

I had the same expierience with USAA. You just can't get ahold of the Mother fers. Then they lie and try to low ball the shops. They suck and they are $$$$$

How did rental company get your credit card?

You're lucky that the rental company didn't report the rental stolen and you would have been proned out on the ground with a gun in your face by an over zealous LEO doing a felony stop.

I've had USAA for 56 years, I do believe there service isn't what it was in the 70's, 80''s, & 90's and the rates have gone up (as with all insurance companies). USAA seemed to change when they started letting enlisted personnel join. We had a good thing going until then when it was just for officers. But I can list just as many horror stories with the other companies as well. When Katrina hit New Orleans State Farm tried to declare bankruptcy to get of of paying for houses and cars.

Don’t know you and stumbled on your video. I had USAA for auto Insurance for 34 years. Back in my early years they were terrific. Never had an issue. Over the last couple of years they doubled my auto insurance. No reason given, no claims, no accidents, tickets etc. just said cause it’s where I live and I should move, mind you I’ve been where I live my whole life. We dropped them the next day. Bottom line is all insurance companies suck ass and not sure why USAA, who is a member owned company has got so bad, but all insurance company suck and need to be reformed. It’s BS! Sorry for your issues and hope you find some recourse.

Had my truck stolen while I had USAA. It was recovered, and they wanted to fix it at first. They took it from shop to copart and back to another shop before totaling it out. It took a total of 3 months just to get it totaled out. Another 2 months went by before they paid me, and they low balled the piss out of me. I tried to send them comparables to show them the truck was worth 50% more than what they offered, and they said because I used comparables from too far away, they couldn’t use them in their evaluation. But when I looked at their evaluation, they used ONLY comparables from out of state and shop quotes, all of which were out of date. Being from alaska, everything is more expensive up here, including vehicles, and with so little people, it’s impossible to find good comparables in the area unless you have an extremely common vehicle.

USAA does suck, one of their clients backed in to me last year while I was driving my father n laws car and they took months to respond. His insurance co. had to threaten to fix his car and send them the bill. Also had to threaten to report them to my states insurance regulation board or whatever they called it. They get in a lot of trouble if your report them to the state and makes them look really bad. Dads had nationwide for over 50 years and I stayed with them since he died, but just recently it took them 3 months just to give me a quote on a house I wanted to buy.... My sisters had geico of for years and says they have been cheap and great service. I'm thinking of switching over cause NW is starting to dollar me to death every way they can, but have always took care of claims good, thats the main reason I've stayed as long as I have with them.

Damage from insects, vermin, and rodents is excluded in the USAA auto contract. I guess they figure that if you have rats in your car - you must have done something to attract them there. This vehicle was not made with soy-based plastic wiring so there must have been some food left inside the vehicle and it attracted a rodent. Most of the time this happens with vehicles left in a barn and the rodents find there way in there or you left you windows down / door open in an area with rodents. Either way, this isn't something the auto insurance contract is meant to cover. Auto insurance isn't designed to be a catch all for anything that happens to put your vehicle out of commission, especially wiring issues in a 20 year old vehicle. The cost of this repair would def be more than the vehicle is worth... so the best case scenario would have been for them to total it and sell it at auction then cut you a very small check. That claim would follow you for five years as well BUT since you called your insurance, that claim will be on your CLUE report and will show up to any company you switch to. Its a zero dollar payout so it isn't a "Chargeable claim" that will surcharge but it can prevent things like "claims free discount" as well as overall rating and you will pay a higher rate at renewal. I can agree they shouldn't have given you a rental car until they knew the claim would be covered & the customer service could be better at explaining it but those are things all insurance companies need to work on. You get luck of the draw when calling any call center and it depends on how knowledgeable that rep is. How would you have responded in that moment if the first rep had told you that you were wasting your time since it wouldn't be covered? Would that have been any better of an experience? I get the sense you would have wanted to talk to a manager since the first rep "wasn't being helpful" in your mind but in reality a knowledgeable rep could have saved you alot of hassle. Comprehensive is for weather damage, theft damage, or collision with an animal Collision is for a collision with anything other than an animal Anything outside of that is the owners responsibility. Just as you are responsible for changing the oil in your engine, you are required to keep pests away from your vehicle. We must take accountability for our day to day decisions and realize this was a very expensive mistake & learn from it so that it never happens to you or anyone you know again. Best of luck chap

Yeah, I had the same issue. As did my daughter in the last year. They grew to large to fast and don't have enough money or folks to care about the customers. I dropped them and saved a ton of cash moving to state farm. Also USAA is going to pay out my Subscriber Savings Account that they have been funding for 20 years, so its a significant amount they lost from me alone. I am recommending everyone I got to join USAA, leave USAA. And its a lot. They need to fail and the CEO Wayne needs to step down in shame as does the insurance president Randy Termeer. As a matter a fact. Randy is on LinkedIn. Everyone should start messaging him that they are messing up. He will either have to fix it or get rid of his LinkedIn.

I've never had USSA insurance however, I'm not gonna be with a company that exploits veterans for profit. Also, by the way anyone can get insurance with them, they're full of chit!

I have USAA and am grateful. 💯 seven years ago. I told my State Farm agent that I’m canceling. He asked “who are you going with“and I said USAA. He said good for you. I can’t touch their coverage. Good luck.

I was thinking of switching to USAA as I had been told it would be cheaper than Allstate. Thank-you. I can't say anything good about Allstate. Any good suggestions out there, I welcome your comments.

I had to cancel my policy with them because I was paying for a policy with them which in theory they wouldn’t cover me on. In 2017 I was in the service and was stationed in Louisiana and had a USAA auto policy, when I got out of the service I moved to CA and moved my home of record to CA and my policy did chance in price. In 2019 another car had rear ended me in a car I just purchased only 2 weeks before. I did not file a claim with USAA because I was not at fault but they still sent an investigator out to talk with me because I still had a Louisiana policy and that I was not eligible for a CA policy because of an accident my wife was involved in 2016. When I spoke with my agent I asked why I was not switched to a CA policy he had no answer. We pay these companies to put on commercials “we’ve got your back”!!

I had USAA for almost 20 years. Paid on time never had an issue. Only claims I had were when others hit me. If I remember right I had gotten a new debit card or a new bank account, something like that, so my payment didn't come out properly. I received 2 calls on my cell phone, which I did not answer because I assumed they were trying to upsell me something. I just don't generally take calls from companies. Send it to me in writing. So one day I get a letter in the mail, saying that my license is about to be suspended for lack of insurance! I call USAA and they tell me they had canceled my policy for lack of payment, and to restart everything I had to pay a full 6 months premium, which was almost $2000. They let me drive around for almost 3 weeks with no insurance, and had almost let my DL get suspended. I'm a truck driver so that would have stoped me working cold. All it would have taken was an email when my payment didn't go thru the first time and all this would have never happened. Needless to say I don't fool with USAA any more.

With all due respect: I have to say that USAA IS BY FAR the best insurance company one can have. So much so, that If I could go back in time, I would have served 4 years to have them as My insurance company. As a general Contractor ( residential…I can’t speak for auto), they are BY FAR the best In terms of rolling out the red carpet for those who have served. You CANNOT go wrong with USAA. This complaint is an anomaly.

Play stupid games win stupid prizes. Usaa is quite literally one of the best you can have. Those years are nightmares

it is a good looking truck
