    Tahoe stalls when warm

    as pmw stated really need to figure what you lose when it dies any of the above stated are possible. fuel pump is going bad but only dies when it warms up. coil packs are going bad and stop working once they warm up. could even just be the fuel pump relay gives up when it warms up.

    99 Tahoe

    you will probably need to test out various rim offsets and probably do some cutting to the fender. 265 70 17 roughly a 31 is already very close to hitting the fender during turns. and depending on the rims you would definitely be hitting fender while off roading

    K&N oil filters disappointment

    unless you get a special filtration system your oil will look dirty pretty quickly. as far as k&n is concerned several independent tests have shown the k&n filter is no better than a regular filter. some regular priced brands even being of better build quality over the k&n.

    The Tahoe is now a mobile ant farm

    glad ive never had this problem but i can definitely see how they would get in. my wife would probably just set the vehicle on fire. all bugs inside are obviously annoying to just about anyone. ants are definitely a trigger for my wife.
