    2010 Z71 running boards

    Does anyone know where I could source a used running board for a 2010 tahoe z71? I'm in the DFW area. I'd like the OEM one so the rounded end caps fits into the body panel at both ends. Thanks,

    2010 Tahoe brake bleed - one man bottle method gone wrong

    ya this sounds absolutely ideal. Maybe I'll just buy one of these instead. It's about the same price as 4 of those special bleeders and with the pressurized bleeder I can use it on anything moving forward. This is a great suggestion, thanks Rocket Man.

    2010 Tahoe brake bleed - one man bottle method gone wrong

    This is the exact method that I did, with a chunk of pine under the pedal. I did both the front and rear brakes (pad/rotors) since I was getting a break wear indicator sound and the peddle felt soft, so I thought I might have had air in the lines. Fronts were low but not on the squealer, and...

    2010 Tahoe brake bleed - one man bottle method gone wrong

    It's gotta be one of those things I'm positive it wasn't A, B, D. And I'm almost certain that that the bleeders weren't too far out. The only thing I can think of is the master cylinder is shot.

    2010 Tahoe brake bleed - one man bottle method gone wrong

    I changed it because the fluid hadn't been changed since new and the truck has 150k miles on it, the fluid was coffee black. I'm surprised because I found a lot of supporting articles on the one man method so I thought I'd give it a shot while my wife was out of town. What a dumb idea that...

    2010 Tahoe brake bleed - one man bottle method gone wrong

    I saw a video online for the one man bottle method. I bled the brakes twice last night, each time with various pumping methods and I could not get a steady stream without air bubbles. Now I have a spongy pedal. In the process, I stripped each of the bleeders (car used to see salt when I live...

    leveling kit, rough ride & still rubbing with 33s

    depends on you definition of problem. someone described their truck in an earlier post as "rides like a lumber truck", there couldn't be a more accurate description of how this Tahoe rides now. Extremely loud shuttering sounds throughout the cabin going over the slightest bumps, and a much more...

    leveling kit, rough ride & still rubbing with 33s

    thats a 10 ply tire. I might make the switch to the LT275/65R18 to keep me in the 6 ply range.

    leveling kit, rough ride & still rubbing with 33s

    I am used to the cushy 6 plys. Can someone recommend a new 6 ply tire in size 275/70R-18? I'm going to ditch the BFGs, they are just too stiff for a pavement crawler. Sucks cuz they are such a great tire when you need the offroad performance, and they look awesome too. I can't really find any...

    leveling kit, rough ride & still rubbing with 33s

    that I am....however I don't think its just the tire. I think it is partially due to the geometry suspension right now. I also cannot believe that I have not heard more complaints from people on this forum that have leveled their trucks with larger tires. I thought I was covering my bases by...

    leveling kit, rough ride & still rubbing with 33s

    Thank you for the explanation, this is very thorough and helpful to me. I will look into this more. Nice looking truck! Aren't most 33s E rated?

    leveling kit, rough ride & still rubbing with 33s

    Haha understood. But what about everyone else that is running 33s on 1/2 tons? Aren't most of them E rated? I went with the BFG A/Ts because of reputation, and I've had smaller sizes on smaller SUVs and they've been great tires. Now that I have this Tahoe and wanted to run a little lift with...

    leveling kit, rough ride & still rubbing with 33s

    Can you elaborate a little more? What do you mean by 24" and 24"? My tires are actually 275/70R/18s, I had it incorrect in my previous post. Would a different size wheel make a difference with this tire? The roads are rough here too...I live in DFW and there is constant road work.

    leveling kit, rough ride & still rubbing with 33s

    Jeez, the ride in this truck is garbage. I wish I knew it was going to be this harsh. I'm willing to drop $$$ in order to fix it. Could it be the 27/70/28 BFK A/Ts that are causing it to be this rough? Are the 5100s a stiffer shock than stock? Leveling kit? The suspension shop that installed...

    adding 110v outlet and USB charging ports

    does anyone have the part number for my usb/plug/110v outlet stack ? I cannot find it on the GM parts direct website. Thanks.

    adding 110v outlet and USB charging ports

    what I would like to do with my truck is have a similar setup to my boat with the Perko switch. I would like to isolate a house battery that would handle a 1500w inverter, and isolate charging so it doesn't strain the alternator. But I would also like to be able to combine (2) yellow tops in...

    adding 110v outlet and USB charging ports

    I used the painless 40120 which is absolutely worthless. It only engages the second battery when you put a big load on the system like a winch, plow, etc. Just purchase new identical batteries and have someone wire them in parallel for you. Especially if you are running a stereo. My starting...

    Shop in DFW area that can trim fenders

    It's difficult to do when all of your tools are on a moving truck 1,000+ miles away from you. I'm in the middle of a move. It's not that I don't have the capability, I don't want to deal with the hassle of not having a proper space to do the work. I will not have a garage in TX once I get there.

    adding 110v outlet and USB charging ports

    what i'd like to do is install a usb and 110v receptacle like the one you see in the picture above. I'd like the 110v receptacle on the passenger side and the usb receptacle on the drivers side. usually google shopping is good to me but I'm having a hell of a time trying to find a part like...

    adding 110v outlet and USB charging ports

    I have a dual battery setup in my '10 tahoe, and I'd like to add a 500w inverter /w 110v outlet along with a multi usb charging port. Does anyone have a link to a good thread, doesn't necessarily have to be GM related. Just trying to figure out the bill of material, wiring setup, etc...
