    Matching double din dash panel?

    Hello, I have a 2002 Z71 Tahoe, and I would like to put the double din radio on. I noticed there are plenty of double din dash replacement panels online, but they are all solid black, or solid whatever color. Mine is two different colors, tan all around the outsides, with black inserts. (See...

    285 vs 295 on the Z71

    2002 Tahoe Z71, aftermarket keys to bring the front to level, otherwise everything else is stock. The current tires are just the factory size, and highway tread. I would like something a bit more aggressive and larger I went shopping at the tire stores today and they pretty much sold me on...

    1k RPM clatter

    Did a search, but haven't found much about this specific situation. 2002 Tahoe, 5.3, 217k miles. The 5.3 has has a quiet clattering sound right around the 1,000 rpm area. If you don't have the radio on, you notice it. Temp doesn't seem to matter, it was hot today and I ran errands for a few...

    5.3 slap. Treat it or leave it?

    I know the piston slap is pretty normal, and from what I read, doesn't really affect anything. My '02 Z71 Tahoe I picked up a couple months ago does it, and it is approaching its first oil change since I have owned it. I was curious if it is worth adding anything during this oil change to help...

    Anyone running spacers on stock wheels? Pics?

    Hoping to get some 33x12.50's for the Z71, but might end up with some 285/70r17's for now. Is anyone running spacers with stock wheels on the Z71 with this size tire? Would look nice to push them out level with the flares. It does seem that the front tires sit inwards more than the rear, So...

    Loosing lift after alignment?

    Got the '02 Z71 almost leveled with some lift keys. Sitting 1/4" lower in the front, which isn't bad. You can definitely tell the tires are pulled in a lot from lifting it, so it will be going in for alignment on Friday. This brought a question to mind. When they straighten the tires back out...

    Getting rid of dead mouse smell?

    Hello everyone, got a nice '02 Z71 I found and bought. Guy said it stinks a bit because a mouse died in it and he doesn't know where it is. So I took it home and tracked the smell to the cargo area near the rear ac. Disassembled the AC, nothing. Looked in the little rear frame pillar and found...

    Tires, lifts, spacers, and the combination

    2002 Z71 4x4 Tahoe. Wanting to run 33x12.50, with a level. I'm not trying to crank the keys way up, just enough to bring it level with the back. I have stock wheels, so some spacers may be required. This guy is running 12.50's on the same rims but has 2" spacers on the back. Does anyone...

    How to keep evap system from failing?

    Hello everyone, got a new '02 Tahoe here. I live down a dirt road, and my '05 Tahoe and 2011 Sierra already can't take fuel because of a screwed up evap system. From what I read, dust gets in some part of the system and ruins it and it will just constantly do this and you have to keep replacing...

    Cloth options in the '02 Tahoe?

    Another post messing around with the new-to-me Tahoe. 2002 Z71, leather interior. Did any 2002 cloth Tahoes have power passenger seats? Or was that only an option if you got a leather? I really like the cloth seats in my '05 Tahoe, but the passenger is not power, and the '02 leather passenger...

    New torsion keys, do I also need the bars?

    '02 Z71 Tahoe, just picked it up the other day. The front looks stock, it's got the factory rake look. Decided I would level it, so I crawled under to find the keys completely maxed out. Since it's still sitting down in the front, can I just get 3" keys and turn it up more, or since it's maxed...

    Tires and leveling

    Hello everyone, picked up an '02 Z71 Tahoe. It looks like the wheels measure 8.5" width (photo below). I was wondering if it's possible to run a 33x12.50 tire on these Tahoes if I level the front up a bit. Depending on offset, I was unsure if these run with 12.50's or not. I assume with a...

    '02 Tahoe radio recommendations?

    Going to look at a 2002 Tahoe Z71 Thursday, might pick it up if it checks out. Has the old original radio they had in the 90's and start of 2000's. Was looking for a radio to put in that has Bluetooth and a backup camera screen. One thing I must have is the volume knob, not buttons. (My...

    Wheel and tire options on an '05 Z71?

    Found an '05 Z71 I'm about to go check out. Stock suspension and wheels. If I get this, I would really like to level it and put some bigger tires. Unfortunately I don't know much about the Chevy SUV wheels. I will attach a photo below of what the specific wheel looks like. Are these 7.5"...

    2005 Tahoe/Rear end rumble after new seal?

    '05 Tahoe 2wd, 5.3. ran smooth as glass down the road, no sounds, no vibration. Noticed rear pinion seal was dripping. Took it to a mechanic shop because I don't have time to mess with it. He replaced seal, good to go ... Took it on the road, and at 55+ mph, it starts making this bad grumbling...

    2018 Yukon, tune to help trans?

    Hey everyone, got a 2018 Yukon with a 6.0. The only issue I am running into, is that it slams into 3rd sometimes pretty hard. Long story short, dealer says it's fine, even though it's clearly not shifting correctly. They aren't going to do anything about it. Well, back in 2011 I had an F150...

    Whats the difference in these shocks?

    I have the yellow tagged Nivomat shocks on my '05 Tahoe. They have a yellow bordered tag with a number 15029588. I found a pretty good deal online and ordered some, and the guy sent me something different, some that have a purple bordered tag with a number 15750655. What are the differences in...

    Rear shock swap??

    Just picked up a very nice '05 Tahoe with 330K miles. (Idk how they got 330K without making a scratch, dent, or seat tear, but they did it :hahano: Rear suspension has the Sachs shocks. Left rear has oil pouring out of it, and if I corner, the back left raises up and the front right dives...
