    smaller sub options?

    is that the one that goes in the quarter panel? 1) How'd it sound? 2) How much do you want for it?

    smaller sub options?

    Already got a couple rockford fosgate amps mounted beneath the second row, one dedicated to the sub(s). I think utilizing the 8" in the quarter panel will be best way for me to go for getting space I need. I've run 8's, 10's and 12's. Never a 15." I'm thinking my 12" is too big for what I...

    smaller sub options?

    Okey-dokey. I checked it out- the E-8 says it requires 0.25 cu ft of sealed airspace. Next question- without me pulling the factory enclosure from the truck and filling it up with water to measure volume, does anyone know how many cubic feet the factory box is? I'm sure its made of pretty...

    smaller sub options?

    I normally run a 12" RF Punch sub in its own enclosure behind the second row. It works fantastic but takes too much space (as much as one of the third row seats). When I travel with the family, more luggage space would be real nice so I'm considering what my part-time sub option might be...

    GPS/XM Antenna

    I put my XM antenna on the roof just in front of the third brake light. Most kits have long enough wiring that you can run it back that far.... A couple inches of wiring visible but I don't want to drill holes in the roof.

    Sexy bumper

    10-4. There's just too much aftermarket garbage (like the ones I have now) on ebay. Its pretty frustrating trying to find a factory part.... Even the chinese junk has the keywords OEM so you can't filter them out in a search.

    Sexy bumper

    Looks great. What did you do to the hind end to make it match the front? BTW- do you have the original bumper foglights? interested in selling them? My truck was missing them when I bought it. I bought a set of certifit ones that look great but shake and vibrate so much when I am rolling...

    Scosche BFGM Bluetooth Interface

    Sounds good and yes sir, everything that came with it is included except for the original packaging - it was that sealed plastic bubble crap thats not reuseable (have to cut up to open). I took it out of my 2008 last week and it worked perfectly. I bought it brand new off another forum member...

    Scosche BFGM Bluetooth Interface

    I had it in my Tahoe LT with this radio: If you have XM, the module will be behind the glovebox and this goes right there. If you don't have XM there is a harness included for a direct hookup to the back of the radio. I added the link for scosche so you can make sure on their website...

    08 tahoe LT3

    Your profile doesn't say where you live but right now Carmax in the Carolinas can't get enough Tahoes. They can't keep them on the lot. I just sold mine yesterday to them for a little more than I paid for it. You might want to check them out if you have one in the area. Seriously, the...

    Sold the 2008 LT

    I'm a pretty big guy- 6'6" and just could not get comfortable in the 08 (cloth) seats. After about an hour, I'd start squirming. Two hours and my back would start to get sore. I just could not find a seat position that would work for me. And that stupid bulge in the dash (by the radio and...

    Sold the 2008 LT

    After just four months and less than 4,000 miles, I sold the 2008 LT. In those few miles it was in the shop TWICE for engine oil leaks (they replaced the rear main - WTF? and then, when it was still leaking, the oil pan gasket) and this week, the last straw- the dash cracked above the...

    20mpg average possible?

    I got 20.1 and 20.2 from two tanks of fuel (one yesterday, one today) including driving through some ridiculous DC stop and go traffic. (08, 5.3 2WD). I used to watch the instant MPG display on the dash and try to hypermile. I got sick of it (it was getting to be OCD) and started driving...

    The infamous oil leak

    I removed by intake manifold in desparation as a last ditch chance it wasn't my rear main seal. I could not be 100% sure it was not my pressure switch without removing the intake and I have had to change them before on small block chevys. It wasn't the culprit on mine but I got to do a major...

    Advent ogm1

    $1275? dayum, they're proud of it! I'd have to completely check out the specs before ordering that. Love how it looks in the dash though...

    How much $$ was it? I love the factory look.

    Bought a smokers used Yukon xl

    I went through this with my 02. Gutted the interior and spent a long weekend with a carpet cleaning machine. (In retrospect should've just put a new facking carpet in). For the most part it smells pretty neutral. If the truck sits for a few days I can pick up a hint of smoke when I get in...

    Steering Wheel Trim Writeup

    I haven't done mine yet but need to- the original covers are peeling (I know, I know- shocking). What was the answer to your question- is the allen key just used to push and release a clip or is there an allen screw in there?

    Buying new Tahoe...5.3L vs 6.2L

    Yeah- I did a 2,000 mile road trip in a suburban with the 6.2 (4WD) and even with driving for mileage it averaged only 12-14 mpg on the interstate. It was a pig! I range from 17 to 21 mpg in my 5.3 2WD hoe.

    noisy blower?

    Mine wasn't squeaking, it had a rapping noise like a diesel or helicopter caused be a piece of foam stuck in the blower impeller. You might have a bearing going in yours but the blower motors aren't too expensive IIRC. Good luck- its a bear getting that blower motor out. No damn room to work.....

    Oh God! Strange noise

    Personally, I'd go a just slightly larger diameter than stock- close enough to look like it could be stock, but has a "got something under the hood" look for anyone that notices. The barely visible works for me too. There's something to be said for being subtle.

    Oh God! Strange noise

    Run it right out the back or side like stock. If you cut it short underneath the truck the noise will drive you insane. That's too nice a truck to go all redneck on the exhaust!!!!

    The infamous oil leak

    Everything lined up on mine the way it came off. I didn't notice anything out of alignment when I put it back together. Did you check that little blank/block-off plate just above the oil filter mount? I've been told those are prone to leakage as well.
