    Eliminating that "lean"

    My 2010 Tahoe LT, like most any other Tahoe Ive seen has that "left side lean" -- mine's about a half inch. I recently installed a set of Eibach Pro Kit rear springs and achieved a perfect 2" drop. The front to rear is almost perfectly level, but made no difference in the 1/2" left side lean...

    Im back!

    Sold my 2007 Tahoe Z71 back in 2012, and as of last week picked up a 2010 Tahoe LT. Thought I'd try to "Understand" that Jeep thing, ha ha. Looking forward to "making it mine" in the upcoming months.

    Looking for 03-04 - help please

    As the title states, I want a 03-04 with "verticle rear doors" instead of a hatch. I rarely see these and wanted to know if they were on any specefic trim levels, specefic years, or what's the best way of searching one out besides looking at for sale descriptions or pictures on for sale ads...

    Front axles bent??

    Im almost hesitant to ask this, but here goes. I replaced my passenger side hub bearing assembly (front) and once it was all back together, before putting the rim back on, I spun the rotor just to ensure all looked well before wrapping it up and just happened to notice my front axle had about...

    Vibration at 70+ mph

    My '07 Z71 rides as smooth as butter until you reach or exceed about 70 mph. Ive had my tires balanced at 3 different shops over the past 6 weeks and finally today the folks at Ken Towery Auto said I had a bad hub assembly on the front passenger side. The driver side hub assembly went south...

    New Subs - Sundown Audio

    I stuffed in a new set of 10 inch Sundown Audio 'E' Series subs this week. You can hardly fit a stick of gum between the sealed enclosure and the rear hatch. It measures right at 12x12x46 and I have it sitting right on the floor. Actually it's sitting on a 1/2 inch board to keep it level with...

    Is 18mm offset ok?

    Im looking at a new set of wheels. 20x8.5 with a 18mm offset. I'm thinking most folks have offsets between 30 and 35. Will the 18 offset cause any issue up front with steering and clearances? The front is lowered 2 inches via BT Adjustable strut. Opinions or experiences are greatly...

    Bling on a Budget (new 20's)

    I've been cravin some 20's for some time now and almost pulled the trigger on some really nice offers on this site. To my advantage I had just purchased a new set (4) of the OEM Duelers late last year so getting new tires wasn't urgent at all. I found a buyer of my gently used Duelers for $500...

    2 inch billet aluminum rear coil spring spacer. I used it on my '07 Z71 for about a month, not positive on what all year models this will work on. $30 plus shipping from 47130 (this should fit in a "if it fits it ships" box from USPS.

    Z71 Exterior Make-Over (opinions please)

    For the record, when I went on a Tahoe search, I never intended on buying a Z71 - it just happened to be the cleanest, low mileage one I found at the right price (plus the Z71 brushed aluminum interior trim looked way cool) 1. Color matched the front bumper insert 2. Painted front and rear...

    WTB: 07+ OEM Running Boards

    Non-electric, non-lighted, no Z71 ones, no aftermarket, just the plain OEM black ones. Ive seen new ones on ebay for $180 shipped and that is a great price, but first thought I'd check to see if anyone had any take-offs in good condition with hardware lying around they'd like to get rid of. Be...

    '07 Z71: Colormatched bumper, De-molded, De-badged

    "THIS IS MY TAHOE, THERE ARE MANY LIKE IT, BUT THIS ONE IS MINE" De-molded and De-badged this weekend. I still got to get a nice exterior detail, polish and wax, but I think it turned out real nice.

    Demolding? with help from mother nature??

    It was in the low 90's here a few days ago, the sun was beating up the side of my Tahoe and just for curiosity, I took my fingernail and tried to pry off some of the door molding and much to my surprise it was peeling back fairly easily. I promptly put it back since I was in a restaurant...

    Z71 Ultra Silver bumper insert finally GONE!!

    I tried plasti-dip and failed miserably. Since I already had it off I took the piece to a local body shop, and $75 later >>>>>>>> Ta-Dah!! This is what GM should have done in the first place IMO.

    Plasti Dip Guru's in here

    Just plastic dipped my Z71 bumper insert and the finish looks kinda like a micro fiber couch, not near as smooth as I had hoped. Its still drying, is this just how it's supposed to look, or will it look different after it dries? Sent from my BlueBerry 9900 using Tapatalk

    Fuel Pressure Guage, install help?

    Thinking about picking up a $50 fuel pressure guage this evening. Anybody have an idea where I can install the guage, or exactly where to tap into a fuel rail? I'm thinking about just a permanant mount, directly to the fuel rail if possible. Any ideas? Not interested in installing this guage...

    Cleaning MAF Sensor?

    Yesterday I was blessed with a P0171 code and wanted to try a couple DIY home remedies before caving in to a real mechanic. One thing I read was to clean the MAF Sensor with an aerosol electronics cleaner or brake cleaner. Isnt brake cleaner much more harsh than electronics cleaner? I have a...

    07 Z71 2/3 drop, question?

    I installed a pair of BT adjustable front struts and the BT 5305 springs in the rear with a 1 inch spacer. I have measured time and time again throughout this process, even before the install, and every time noticed the front passenger side is 1/4 inch higher than the front drivers side...

    Hello, of course I'm new to the site, but I'm an old school auto enthusiest. I tend to go overboard on mods once I get the fever and my new Z71 already has me feeling a bit warm. "RedRocker" is a nickname I was givin back in the late 90's mostly due to a red mustang fox body coupe that I went...

    Cladding around step bars on '07 Z71

    I'm on the fence about this, I'm thinking about removing the cladding around the step bars on my Bermuda Blue Z71 cause it looks kinda 'ricey' IMO. Would it give it a more cleaner look or simply cause an eye sore? Please chime in with your thoughts or photos if you have them. Thanks.
