    Fosscore's 2013 Suburban LTZ Build Thread

    Awesome, thanks so much for the replies. I have heard of people using magic erasers on leather, but I was hesitant for the same reason you mentioned - the abrasiveness of it. But if you've done it with success I'll give it a try. Sorry for temporarily getting off topic, now you can get back to...

    Fosscore's 2013 Suburban LTZ Build Thread

    Hey Fosscore, since we both have Cashmere leather, what would you do to clean and condition this? I've tried Poorboys leather cleaner and more recently Meguiars. They seem to condition well but don't clean that well as you can see from the grime still in the creases. That's after scrubbing with...

    Fabtech 4" kit K1081

    Sounds like a good resolution, glad to see that Fabtech/4WP didn't just leave you high and dry.

    Wheel & Tire Feedback - Nitto Terra Grappler & 22" Escalade Repros

    I think 285/45/22 is a little small for the K2xx trucks. Go with 305/45/22. For that size, you may need a 2" front level. They're not too difficult to install if you have some mechanical experience, it's a spacer that goes underneath the shock. You need to separate the lower ball joint to...

    Show off your 2015+ leveled Tahoes and Yukons!

    It's normal, had to put a rear spacer on my NNBS after just a 2" front level.

    I found my dream Tahoe

    Nice find, OP! Extremely rare. Take great care of it :D Totally agree. I test drove several Suburbans with the 5.3s before picking up one with a 6.0 L76. The 5.3 just feels underpowered for such a heavy vehicle. It might work fine for Silverados, but a Suburban is 600-800 lbs heavier than a...

    Newer Suburban or Yukon XL Questions

    I don't believe the 6.2 was ever put in Suburban, at least not GMT900. Suburban 1500s from 07-09 had the option of the aluminum block 6.0 L76 (that's what I have in my 09, great engine). They are very rare though. That option was discontinued in 2010 making the 5.3 the only engine for 2010-2014...

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Well, I tried to open the power liftgate for the first time in a month today and it opened about a foot and immediately closed, messed with it some more and it always did the same thing. I raised it manually and it looks like the left strut has been leaking like crazy. Hopefully the simple...

    3.5" RC Lift on 33x12.50R20's

    Looks great - how's the ride? Are those OEM tow mirrors? Great stance, looks like it just barely fits in your garage.

    Ordered 2.5" lower strut spacer and have a question...

    Measure your front spacer and tell us how tall it is. Like 01Konvict I am also under the impression that a spacer taller than 1" (which gives a 2" level) is impossible to install on a 4x4 because the CV shaft will contact the spacer itself or the mounting bolts. If your spacer is actually 1.25"...

    Do You Regret: Short-Body vs Long-Body

    I don't have any kids, but I bought a Suburban just because I've always wanted a Suburban. Bonus that they are nowhere near as common as Tahoes where I live, and Tahoes aren't even that common, since every family seems to own a crew cab pickup. Not that Suburbans are uncommon, but I kind of...

    07 vs 12 Z71

    Good choice, the 6L80e is worth it alone, but another nice thing is that 12-13s have an updated nav system.I used one in a 12 Suburban I test drove recently, and it makes the nav in my 09 feel so slow and dated.

    Did you have 37s on your Denali, or another vehicle? If on your Denali I'd love to see some pics.

    Here's An Interesting Pushbar

    Great deal. Ugly but great deal. If I were in that area I'd buy it and do some cutting and painting to make it more attractive.

    Poly vs Aluminum leveling kit

    Aluminum, but don't spend more than you have to. All billet aluminum spacers will be the same in quality. I got my 2" level (1" spacers) on eBay from Summit for less than $25. It's been a year and they look fine, no corrosion, but I don't live in a snowy/salty area either.

    2009 tahoe..Is there a mod to add: AC SEAT to existing seats?

    I'm also interested since I'm considering a 2500, which doesn't have the option of cooled seats and I love the cooled seats in my 09 LTZ. I think it would be pretty difficult. You'd have to swap out the door controls, then run a wire from the door to the fuse box. Hopefully the space for it is...

    2015-2017 Fender Flares?

    Something looks off about them now, but I do think they'll look great once they're color matched.

    Squeaking noise on startup (2011 Burb)

    Very likely a belt or pulley. Spray water on it while it's squealing. If the noise goes away, it's most likely the belt. Fortunately the belts on these engines are pretty easy to remove and replace (and not too pricey), just make sure you have a picture of the routing. While it's off, jiggle and...

    Anyone seen a BDS 4" on 2015+ Yukon XL or Suburban?

    Looks excellent. I think 3-4" of lift is just right on NNBS and K2XX trucks. Looks like it increased the front track width only minimally, too. Great stance.

    Nice. If you decide to go with them, please post a review :D

    Let's see some pics of some lifted and leveled

    I saw these tires for the first time on a lifted Durango a few weeks ago. They look great, no idea how well they wear or balance though.

    How did everyone else deal with the cracked dash?

    Can you take a pic when you get a chance? I thought all 07-14 had plastic dashes made of the same material. Edit: Nevermind, just saw that you have a 15. Glad to hear the dashes are improved in 15+.

    Re-dyed my front seats!

    Wow, awesome writeup and transformation. Have you noticed any dye transfer on your clothes so far?

    Is 90k miles too high

    I would hesitate with a 90k mile 4L60E, but not with a 90k mile 6L80E or 6L90E (which I believe All NNBS Escalades have). I changed the fluid and filter on my 6L80 at around 125k, it was a bit dark but looked and smelled fine. I think it was the first time it had been changed. Shifted great...
