    Mount em up!

    Got it done and used a coupon to knock it down to $800. Service guy said its a real ***** job on a 4x4 (had to remove exhaust manifold), so Im not too remorseful. I can really tell a difference now - I almost think I may have changed out my magnerides early when the motor mount was the issue...

    Mount em up!

    Oof, thats what I figured time wise with my lack of experience doing the job. Had to weigh this vs doing an extra day of my job and the air conditioning gig won out...

    Mount em up!

    LOL, no doubt. I really meant while they already had my truck all day. Plugs seems like another beating on these rigs, but I should have a couple more years out of them...

    Mount em up!

    Well, I reached out to the dealer, and looks like $850 total for OEM with 2 year warranty. Not too shabby to have it done correctly. Wonder if I should get them to do something else while their at it...

    Mount em up!

    I usually would, but lately all the easy stuff has turned into challenges - while this one starts out looking like a **** show. I can see hours of pure hell laying on my back with shake arm and violent verbal outbursts. Does this job really cost that much?

    Mount em up!

    Just got my ride nice and buttery with the OEM magneride replacements when I started noticing a slight clunk at takeoff from a stop. Popped the hood and did the the test looking for the tell tale twist. Sure enough, it was quite noticeable. After watching about 4 youtube vids on this, I am ready...

    Added Subwoofer, not getting the results expected

    Try just replacing the front corner speakers with the Kicker KSC270s first as it makes a noticeable improvement in the stock bass response. I decided to skip the sub after doing mine, and the space savings is a big bonus on the short body. Cheap and easy under an hour job. You can always add the...

    OBD tweak tool (not a tune) - tried a search already

    No, unfortunately you can't "code" a GM truck like a BMW or Audi...

    What did you do to your 2015-2020 K2XX Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Replaced all 4 magneride shocks with genuine GM magneride shocks. Just a hair under $1700 total delivered from Rock Auto with 5% coupon they give everyone. Took it to a shop for the spring swap ($80), and the idiots didnt line them up perfectly, but a few taps with a mallet got em there. So...

    what useful items do you carry in your SUV?

    I carry most of the basic stuff listed here (flashlight, G19, tow strap, blankets, shit tickets, ratchet straps, etc), but BY FAR my most used are the folding cargo organizers with handles for Costco/Sams or groceries. No boxes to break down and trash, and no worries about the slight slope...

    Brightest D3S bulb for factory housing

    I used some amz LED DS3s and they are marginally better, but still lacking vs every other HID set-up I have ever owned. Seriously, WTF GM? I have found a good set of LEDs in the fogs helps out tremendously - like about the same output as the low beams, so I always use both. LEDs in the high...

    Those Who Moved From an '07-14 to '15+ generation... How Was It?

    This brings up a really good point about the seats: comfort was max at gmt 800 and has lessened over the years to emulate the "European" style. I really held out buying a 900 because of the seats, but I had to get back into an Avalanche. I do notice the driver seat bottom bolster holds up a lot...
