    What cam did you go with, why, and do you like it?

    Just doesn’t make sense for me. It’s my work van. Cam would take a couple hours, engine swap would turn into a whole project. I don’t have the luxury of spending my entire weekend in the garage, maybe when the kids are older…

    What cam did you go with, why, and do you like it?

    Thanks that was my next question… I’ll add it to my Christmas list. Going from 6.0 to 4.8 leaves a lot to be desired. Maybe the cam will help.

    What cam did you go with, why, and do you like it?

    Did you have to get a tune after installing the cam? I just did a little snooping around on the cam motion stage 2 and I like what I’m seeing. I want to wake up my 4.8 just a bit

    2015 and 2016 Escalade w/ 6.2 engines blown

    My 6.0 chewed my cam up bad. I just rebuilt it without flushing it. Put another 40k miles on it before I sold it. I’d definitely take the rebuild risk before I dropped 15k on an engine.

    Z71 Front End Swap

    Was much easier to search parts for a 2001 Tahoe when I had my 00. I often got the wrong parts before I started doing that.

    Curb Rash Black Wheels

    i supoose sanding wouldn’t hurt. Probably even recommend. I never did when I would touch up my wife’s wheels. We had a can and stack of throw away brushes handy lol.

    Towing with a rental Tahoe

    i wondered about that after i made my comment. Thinking about the plastic hitch covers, I kind of wondered that it might be standard equipment now. I just remember a few years ago it crossed my mind about renting a truck to tow something. Every single truck (not SUV) on the enterprise and...

    Curb Rash Black Wheels

    Just dabbing that with gloss black rustoleum out of a can would make it unnoticeable. If you want it to disappear then I’d recommend taking it somewhere to be refinished.

    Towing with a rental Tahoe

    If im not mistaken, most rentals don’t even have hitches on them.. Didn’t realize you already did it. Well, glad it worked out

    Batteries?

    Seems that 3 years is the going rate today. I think it’s all the extra electronics in the vehicles now. My wife’s 2018 MB is on its 3rd battery and I believe my 2015 is on its 3rd battery, probably due for another *sigh* Surprisingly, the yellow top optima in my van was pushing 8 years before I...

    OEM parts on Amazon?

    My understanding is that the way Amazon works is… when you buy an item, it may have 10 different suppliers for the same item… all 10 suppliers send their same item to Amazon for distribution. Amazon then puts all the items from the 10 different suppliers into 1 bin (hypothetical speaking). Then...

    seats.

    I bought this years ago and was very happy with it. The listing is still active. I don’t have the truck anymore to tell you how it looks today. I recommend getting the cushion as well, also obtainable on eBay...

    06 Silverado Crew Cab Build

    2 tone is definitely a nice way to avoid a ton of headache.. since 2 tone was a common option it looks pretty natural. Looks good

    2018 Yukon XL transmission and lifter problems

    Get a second opinion. Don’t tell your second opinion that your first diagnostic told you the engine needs to be replaced. A valve spring broke on my 2015 a couple weeks ago. I only have 83k miles on my engine. It wouldn’t even idle without shutting off. It ran so badly that if a mechanic...

    Is Dealer Blowing Smoke Up My....?

    My Amazon special rear tail light works perfect . But I’m disappointed that the red led isn’t identical to the oem one. I’m procrastinating on sending my OEM one out to get fixed

    Is Dealer Blowing Smoke Up My....?

    I’d move on and find an independent shop if that’s an option.

    Is Dealer Blowing Smoke Up My....?

    Ask them to explain why your driver side works and passenger doesn’t. Since you replaced both of them with aftermarket

    Is Dealer Blowing Smoke Up My....?

    Yeah I’d lean on the headlight not getting adequate voltage. Tell them they can fix the actual issue (1v at the passenger side headlight) or just take your business elsewhere.
