    Mag Ride Adjustments

    You can purchase an OBDII splitter. I got mine from Xineering out of Orlando. I don't think it's listed on their website yet Take a look at: 2015 GMC YukonXL-Fox Coilovers SEE POST #90

    New dude here with a new 2017 Z71 Tahoe!

    Thank you for providing overall goals and desired look for your "new" Tahoe. I’ve spent too much time the past couple years reading through threads, looking at photos, asking people questions, AND messing around with my own 2015 LTZ. Too bad the deal was "stinky" all around...but probably...

    New dude here with a new 2017 Z71 Tahoe!

    Oh man! What happened? I've been working on a write-up for you; it's turning into a short novel at this point, but good reading I hope... I've tried to organize the write-up to apply to anyone with a passive suspension, so it will certainly still apply as long as you still purchase the...

    New dude here with a new 2017 Z71 Tahoe!

    @huntermatt - Congrats on the new z71 Tahoe! Looks like you're already getting some great info from members. You posted that you want the ride height of a 2500HD Silverado. What about your goals for the vehicle? ie: Off-road driving, snow, "smoothness" of ride, type of tires desired...

    Rear lift springs???

    @Rockcrawler11 - Are you saying that the z71 rear coils springs gave you approx. 2-2.5" of rear lift alone?

    Collision / Lane Departure Vibrate Alert on 2015 Tahoe Z71

    I too had a driver's seat haptic motor issue in my Tahoe. Mine was acting up when I would have the parking alert active. The alert system worked as it should with the dash icon illuminating various colors (yellow, orange, red) depending on proximity to objects. However, the seat is supposed...

    Rear lift springs???

    I think lifting the rear with new, longer springs vs. spacers is an absolutely wonderful idea!!! I looked at doing this myself, when I put the 4" lift on. There were so many other purchases going on at the time, like new wheels and tires, that it was hard to justify the additional cost of new...

    More MagnaRide delete questions

    Personally, I would be having the front suspension looked over at the dealership. They should easily be able to tell if your shocks have locked up, are leaking, or what other issue could be leading to this "knock" sound over bumps. If new front shocks are determined to be needed, there are...

    More MagnaRide delete questions

    Only the LTZ trim level for '15-20 Tahoe/Suburban model years have the Magneride shocks. You can check your RPO codes, you will see z95 if you have the Magneride suspension. LT and LS models are running passive suspension systems so you will NOT need any type of sensor bypass. Have you had...

    Brembo Brake Upgrade. WARNING

    The winch/hoist for the spare utilizes the center of the wheel for leverage - any 16"-22" rim that has our bolt pattern is going to fit under the truck. You remove the wheel's decorative center cap to mount onto the hoist. Tire size - I'm pretty sure the spare tire can go all the way up to 34"...

    New guy

    Welcome to the TYForum! The color choice is excellent (my personal favorite) as is the 6.2L. Looking good so far. What do you think about vinyl wrap around the fog light bezels? That would basically complete the blacked out look and "canvas" so to speak. Then you could choose an accent color...

    Black Trim/Mirrors

    @STORMIN08 is correct. You can order the mirror covers and then paint to match as desired. I did this exact thing about 2 yrs ago. Paint is holding up great - very happy I made this change in the long run. I used vinyl wrap for almost ALL of the other chrome delete. PlastiDip does okay...

    Mag Ride Adjustments

    The GM Magneride is NOT adjustable on the 2015-20 model years. The new 2021 has the adjustable ride height knob, but only on select trims. There are certainly ways to get rid of it. Take a look at Xineering's new OBDSS product! This link is to a video produced by Xineering, featuring an...

    Service Suspension notification on every start

    I know renting the scanning tool doesn't seem great; but, it's the easiest way to start diagnosing the problem. I have had the Xineering GM Shock Sim resistors for over 50k miles now. Yes, there have been some failures that have been good learning experiences for me. Initial install (at local...

    2015-2017 Fender Flares?

    @STORMIN08 - I understand completely your thoughts regarding the lines and style of these fender flares. Unfortunately, there really is just nothing out there in the marketplace for these trucks! The primary reason for choosing these flares was the fact that they are OE. I knew they would fit...

    2015-2017 Fender Flares?

    FINALLY! Fender Flares have been painted to match the vehicle body and are now installed. And, they actually look pretty darn good, IMO. The local paint guy I chose (Maine has many small businesses and I like to support local, ie: within 10 miles of my home) took A LOT longer with them than...

    Brake Upgrade

    Installed the PowerStop z36 Truck & Tow Brake Kit (part# K6560-36) on my 2015 Tahoe last week. Certainly a noticeable difference in braking ability - probably not nearly as noticeable as Brembo or Wilwood, but very satisfactory all the same. Paid around $455 for all four corners (pads, rotors &...

    Silverado Trail Boss wheels?

    My DIY ceramic coating just finished its 48 hr cure last night. I think they came out pretty darn good. Interested to see how the ceramic coating does over the course of the next year. Can't wait for these to go on the Tahoe next week w/ new Nitto Ridge Grapplers 295/70r18's...

    New Tires - who's running 44psi ???

    I've been running the Nitto Ridge Grappler LT275/60r20 for about 45k miles now. Rotations done every 3-5k miles (did my best). Not sure which Nitto tire you purchased. These LTs are 16/32 tread depth spec'd new. I live in ME (Maine) and have a lot of cold morning starts. My tires wake up...

    Switched to Nitto Ridge Grapplers-Sizing way off

    I think @drakon543 is certainly on to something here regarding the overall diameter and effects of rim width. Nitto specs the Ridge Grappler LT285/70r18 at 33.98" inflated diameter with a recommended rim width of 8.5". Nitto lists the "approved rim size" for the LT285/70r18 at 7.5-(8.5)-9.5...

    2015 Tahoe LTZ Magnaride ride height adjustment after lift

    Sounds good @STORMIN08 I found this "sensor rod" online. This product is for a lowered application, but a reverse engineering job and DIY fabrication of a long "sensor rod" should do the trick. https://www.suspensionshop.com/gm-suv-2001-2019-auto-ride-magnetic-ride-adjustable-height-sensor-rod/
