    Anyone “upgraded” from the tensioner style AC compressor to the stretchy belt?

    I actually had thought about asking around to see if anyone I know has a GoPro I could borrow to see what’s going on. I do see in your video it looks like the belt is pushed toward the front of the balancer. The AC compressor bolts to a bracket in the trucks, it could be possible there’s just...

    Anyone “upgraded” from the tensioner style AC compressor to the stretchy belt?

    So, a number of you have put on the stretchy belt but haven't changed the compressor to the newer one? Interesting. The new compressor is a little bit cheaper. I just replaced my AC belt tensioner 6 months ago because the pulley was making noise. Kinda annoying. I still wonder why the...

    Anyone “upgraded” from the tensioner style AC compressor to the stretchy belt?

    The compressor is different for the years with the stretchy belt. I’m sure it has stronger bearings to handle the strain from the belt.

    Hello Everyone! I'm an owner of a 2010 Chevy Tahoe - how to program folding mirrors

    You will have to change the door modules to ones from a truck with power folding.

    Anyone “upgraded” from the tensioner style AC compressor to the stretchy belt?

    I’m looking into replacing my AC compressor because both belts have come off twice now at WOT on the 2-3 shift. I’m not convinced the AC compressor is the problem because it only happens on the 2-3 shift since my new transmission and tune revision, but I was considering doing it anyway before GM...

    White Audio and Media probably does it.

    Upgrade package - exhaust/suspension/wheels

    Check out shocksurplus.com. They also have their own reviews on a bunch of the stuff. Also check out magdelete.com, they have some great complete kits. You might be able to contact them and buy without the defeat device and save money since you wouldn’t need it. I suggest them also because they...

    Bigger brakes for GMT900 short of a C6 conversion kit?

    The stock 19/21+ brakes are an upgrade but not a huge one. You need a pretty flat high offset wheel to fit them but 17” wheels will fit. The rotor is only 0.5” large than the stock rotor. A big upgrade is the Brembo kit from the K2 trucks with a 16” rotor. It is a huge improvement and the...

    Upgrade package - exhaust/suspension/wheels

    The GM exhaust is made by Borla, so the quality is good. I prefer the sound of Corsa but if you like the Borla sound, go for it. Sure, you can go to an exhaust shop and have something welded in but you’re very limited for options, won’t be able to hear it first, and it’s usually a low quality...

    Is it possible to keep truck too long?

    Being that many people trade it worn out cars they didn’t take care of, a new car almost always feels better to your average driver. They’ll argue to the death when I say my 2008 rides better than the new ones after I replaced every suspension part with new OEM (except the lowering springs for...

    Is it possible to keep truck too long?

    With as much as everything costs these days, I wouldn’t say $250k is year gives you much money to burn. When a starter home is $400k with a $2500 payment, groceries are $300 a week, two $1000 car payments, health “insurance” is $1500 a month and doesn’t cover anything. $250k burns up FAST.

    Is it possible to keep truck too long?

    I really don’t understand how so many people seem to be ok loosing such massive amounts of money on these new vehicles. They’re still depreciating to the same values they always have but MSRP’s keep skyrocketing. I’m already seeing 2020 Escalades dip into the high 30’s, 2018’s for low 30’s...

    07 Escalade 6L80 into 12 Escalade - swapping 2012 valve body/TCM into the 2007 6L80

    You will absolutely not be able to use a 2007 TEHCM in a 2012. The TEHCM has to be correct for the year and the valve body has to match the TEHCM. You need to use the entire 2012 valve body and TEHCM in your 2007 transmission but swap the speed sensors from the 2007 valve body. Since it’s...

    Why the switch to big rims?

    I don’t think mine will do well there.

    Reuse injectors without changing o-rings?

    Don’t do it. Those seals hold combustion pressure on a DI engine. I’ve seen tons of them blow out. You’ll very likely be doing it again.

    Why the switch to big rims?

    They look better and handle better due to less sidewall roll.

    Arnott Passive vs. Active Mageneride Replacement: Am I understanding tradeoffs correctly?

    There’s nothing wrong with aftermarket suspension but you have to spend the money for quality. Cheapo aftermarket “stock replacement” junk will result in a terrible ride and/or handling sure. Defeating the service light isn’t hard. There are plenty of plug in resistors that plug into the shock...

    Oil Leak - 2015 GMC Yukon

    No, I mean it’s almost always the oil pan. Are you sure you cleaned it properly? Are you sure you didn’t scrape any off putting the pan back up? It’s very easy to do, especially on the oil pump.

    Arnott Passive vs. Active Mageneride Replacement: Am I understanding tradeoffs correctly?

    Funny enough, an ad for this web site just popped up on FB. The prices seem pretty reasonable, too. Comes all assembled and with a module to turn off any lights. I’d honestly love to try that Fox 2.0 setup but my shocks are fine…. https://www.magdelete.com/collections/all

    07 Escalade 6L80 into 12 Escalade - swapping 2012 valve body/TCM into the 2007 6L80

    Oh, yeah the green plug is the internal mode switch (IMS), those are the same. You need to swap the sensor assembly in the second picture, the two black sensors with the wire running between them and then connected to the TEHCM.

    07 Escalade 6L80 into 12 Escalade - swapping 2012 valve body/TCM into the 2007 6L80

    I’m not sure I remember there being a green housing? Do you have a picture?

    07 Escalade 6L80 into 12 Escalade - swapping 2012 valve body/TCM into the 2007 6L80

    No. You need to use the entire 2012 valve body but you need to use the 2007 speed sensor assembly that is attached to the valve body.

    07 Escalade 6L80 into 12 Escalade - swapping 2012 valve body/TCM into the 2007 6L80

    The calibrations change almost yearly. You HAVE to use the correct TEHCM and valve body for your year but the rest of the transmission is the “same.” The 07 transmission will have the old design pump cover and 1-2-3-4 drum but as long as they’re matched, I think it’ll work. I’m not an expert...
