    Lost one, Found another

    Michael's right, that truck will be back on the road in no time, new fender, bumper cover and some sensors, Maybe $2k in used parts without labor. Did you get any moose meat out of that deal at least? Post up some pics of the new one when you can. Glad nobody but the moose got hurt.

    Oil pressure drop after addition of OEM Oil Cooler?

    That's low and concerning to me given your setup. Put a new PF48 up there and drive it, then maybe change the lines out from Dorman to OE. The best flowing, least restrictive, oil filters are the K&Ns with the 1" nut on the bottom. Nothing else comes close unless they (K&N) are lying.

    New to Suburbans

    Welcome from Florida, Jim! Can't answer your questions but suggest you download the brochures and owner's manuals for the model years you are interested in and see what options were available and how they work.

    Would you keep your existing truck or get a new one in this situation?

    Keep the devil you know rather than the one you don't know.

    08 tahoe full spool

    I did mean carrier but was wrong. I still can't think how that will hold up in such a heavy truck. I had friends with 3-4K pound cars who broke them driving on the street way back when, with the same 10-bolt 8.5" axle. Anyhow, cool beans! We run our trucks at the drags to measure...

    Back when GM cared about what engines looked like! Always loved the look of those motors and those runners. Our LSs win the ugly award!

    AC Randomly Stops Blowing Cold

    I don't know the answer to that one. I had this happen to us with a Pontiac and don't recall the fans running afterwards but that was some time ago and this may be a specific K2 thing like you said.

    08 tahoe full spool

    Won't that bust the carrier over time from all the stress of not giving way while turning? A sled pull is on my bucket list, going to put a larger axle in with 3.73 gears. Your setup sounds like fun. Have you run her at the drags to see how much power she puts down?

    Exploring 2500 Purchase Options (I'm Back?)

    There are a lot of 2500s here in Florida, especially in Martin County for whatever reason. We see two or three every time I'm down there. Then there are the Duraburbs!

    Exploring 2500 Purchase Options (I'm Back?)

    We've traveled across country to get exactly what we wanted and you ought to consider doing so as well being as you are looking for a special vehicle that will serve you for the next ten or so years. Get as new of a truck as you can. The 2012 and 2013 have all the latest towing improvements...

    @RebelBelle My friend Gene has two of them. I value his opinions on such things.

    making the steereing firmer

    You want more positive caster in your wheel alignment. I like a .4 degree spread between sides with the right having more. Mine was last set at 3.7 and 3.9 degrees. I liked it a little better at 3.2 and 3.6 for the spread. You don't go to just any alignment tech and specify this as most are...

    AC Randomly Stops Blowing Cold

    This behavior is generally indicative of being low on refrigerant. Those cans with gauges cause lots of problems, it is best to use a manifold to introduce refrigerant by weight after discharging and vacuuming the system.

    Build thread - 3.08 to 3.42 front and rear gear change

    Sorry man, but I would have felt worse if I saw you spending money on something that wouldn't work. I've decided to send it. Still sitting on the work bench, waiting for the weather to cool off a bit and the rains to stop or slow down to get the axle dressed up with new brackets, brakes, etc.

    Data Sticker On Door Almost Completely Illegible -- Seeking Pic of Yours of Same Specs

    Here's one from a RWD truck, you didn't say which yours is. The second one is from a RWD XFE model.

    08 tahoe full spool

    Moser and Strange make them. They are not specific if memory serves but fit the tubes, requires cutting and welding and such. There are videos on Youtube of guys doing it with 14-Bolt semi-floaters which have the same tubes as your 10-bolt. Lawrence "LT" Tolman did a good video on one of his...

    I cannot believe it!

    Trying to sell it based on condition and mileage and maybe this song was playing in the background when they posted it?

    2009 Chevy tahoe

    Is this a Hybrid? They have a P07A3 code for a stuck clutch. @Doubeleive The '09 SUVs all have 6L80s except for the Hybrids.

    No you don't, not for the factory one. We all have the wires for an aftermarket one. A GMT900 truck originally equipped with the integrated trailer brake controller will have RPO JL1.

    Differential cover bolt torque specs

    Don't recall ever using a torque wrench on them; just a good yank on each one. Probably about 20 foot pounds too.

    Borla exhaust, occasional rattle when slowly moving from idle. Unsure on installation quality

    You are looking at your Y-Pipe which contains the catalytic converters. The crossover pipe is supposed to be flattened for clearance. The heat shield around the cat could indeed be loose but I wouldn't touch it to check until morning when she's had the night to cool off. The Borla system will...

    Wow, wish I'd known about that kit when we did ours! Looks great! It's not too bad, but what am I saying? I paid a guy to do mine! LOL
