    Shocks

    I had Bilstein 5100's on my 2500HD as well. They were great for the first year, when they were new. After 12 months though, I noticed the ride quality diminished noticeably. I see here the Bilsteins are highly regarded, but I'm looking for another option besides that shock. Thank you.

    Are all 6.0 GMC Denali's AWD? Longevity of AWD?

    Thanks for the link. It looks like there might be another thread with more of the mechanics of it all. The thread you put up just mentioned that it is possible. Here is why I asked the question in the first place...... ""I see that many of you ask the question about converting to 2WD, as...

    Shocks

    Thank you adriver. I am looking for opinions on what those who have gone before me went with. Online reviews carry little to no water for me. I was hoping to hear a smattering of experiences here and then choose which shocks to purchase. This is my daily driver, but there are instances...

    Are all 6.0 GMC Denali's AWD? Longevity of AWD?

    How many miles are on yours thus far? Do you have low range 4wd/awd? If there is no low range, that is reason enough that I'd want to convert, but also the mileage improvement not being in awd all the time is a better choice for me. Thanks.

    Are all 6.0 GMC Denali's AWD? Longevity of AWD?

    Yeah, I'm sure they're great, but for my amount of driving, I'd prefer to have the selectable 4wd so that 99% of my miles are in 2wd. Thank you.

    Ok, I thought you were offering a vehicle you had that I could use for parts on mine.

    Are all 6.0 GMC Denali's AWD? Longevity of AWD?

    I hear what you're saying in that I know the history for the last 5 years on the bird in the hand. I've been having this struggle for a few months now between fixing my known junk or just buying new unknown junk and hope for the best. I haven't had much luck at all finding a low mileage...

    What have you taken a chance on?

    Sounds like the same round of B.S. problems a family member of mine went thru with their first year model '07. They chose to dump it and now they're in another first year model, '15. I don't know if they're having a load of problems with the '15.....other than the broken A/C repeated times...

    Are all 6.0 GMC Denali's AWD? Longevity of AWD?

    Thank you for the reply. So are all Denali's AWD? If I'm reading your reply correctly, is that saying that there is no Low Range in a Denali either? Even more so then why I'd want to convert away from the AWD system. I understand you are happy with the AWD system of the Denali/Escalade...

    This is the WRONG forum for this thread Moderators. It is NOT lifted suspension. This belongs in general, stock Tahoe forum. Thank you.

    Are all 6.0 GMC Denali's AWD? Longevity of AWD?

    I'm at a crossroads with my 04 Tahoe Z71 that will very soon roll over 300k miles on original engine and drivetrain, including trans. I'm looking at replacing the 5.3 with a 6.0, going thru the trans, replacing the front susp and steering to tighten everything up, new shocks, and tracking down...

    Shocks

    What replacement shocks are you using on your 00-06 Tahoe, Suburban or Yukon? What did they run, and are you happy with them and able to recommend them? Looking at replacements for my high mileage, factory red shocks on Tahoe Z71.

    Gmpartsdirect.com Or???

    GMPartsDirect.com is a JOKE and waste of time! Their customer service is NON-EXISTANT! Try looking up water pump or oil pump for 04 Tahoe, no listing that I found. Every other nonsensical part comes up when you search, but not what you're looking for with a directed search. So I tried...

    6.0 vs. 5.3 conversion questions

    One plus I thought of for using the 243/799 instead of having the cut 317's is the more the stock 6.0 head is cut, you could run into an issue with intake manifold fitment, as the heads become shorter, the distance between heads will grow larger.

    Update to adding trans temp gauge...

    Are you saying you located the eprom programmer for $15? The OP linked to one that is $60 if I remember correctly.

    Sold my 03 Regency Tahoe

    Thank you. Was it a regional upfitter company? I'm in CA and have not heard of Regency. Is there anything besides cosmetic differences, such as gauge cluster with trans temp?

    Update to adding trans temp gauge...

    Thanks for the great info in this thread. There is some disparity in what model year cluster can just add the stepper motor. The reason I say this is my 2004 Tahoe has a build date of 06/03 which made me think mine would be just a stepper motor add-on. With 03 being an easy add, I made the...

    '04 Tahoe Z71 stock shock replacement

    Are the Arnott's the replacement for the Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon with the air ride shocks? The Z71 Tahoe does not have air ride shocks. I did a little searching and saw a lot having to do with air shocks.

    '04 Tahoe Z71 stock shock replacement

    Looking for recommendations on shock replacement for a stock Z71 4wd Tahoe. My old girl has almost 300k miles now, sitting at 293k and I think the factory red Tenneco shocks are done. I'm shying away from Bilstein 5100's because about 10 years ago I had them on an '01 2500HD CC LB 4wd...

    Driver's door handle broken

    Thanks for the great pics. My 04 recently suffered the same problem. I was able to fix it just like you did too. Now my 15 year old white door handles will still be a faded match vs. a new door handle. Thanks for the info in this thread. Now for a question or two....I picked up 2 of these...

    6.0 vs. 5.3 conversion questions

    Thanks. Learned something new today. When the original engine and trans gave up the ghost at 471k, was it catastrophic or just a slow dying death?

    6.0 vs. 5.3 conversion questions

    Hmmm, really.....VIN has to match in order for the ECU to work correctly? I did not know that. Thanks for the info.

    6.0 vs. 5.3 conversion questions

    Had another idea since I am looking at sourcing the basis of my 6.0 build from a local pick your part. Would it behoove me to get the Denali or Escalade factory computer to swap into my Tahoe, which that could then preclude me from needing to get my stock 5.3 Tahoe computer tuned?
