    Questions for tuning an L96

    I'm also curious about L96 tuning since I am buying an L96 Suburban soon. What kind of benefits have your customers reported on 89 tunes?

    Black exterior with light/dark cashmere interior

    Appreciate it, thanks man. Unfortunately the one I was looking at sold, and they showed me a black with titanium interior, but I was kinda meh about the titanium interior. Still looking for another with light/dark cashmere. Can you post an interior photo?

    Let's see some pics of some lifted and leveled

    Can you take a head on shot? I want to get a better look at that brush guard.

    KO2s on the Z71 Tahoe :)

    Looks great to me. I'm a fan of slightly larger than stock tires on stock height.

    Let's see some pics of some lifted and leveled

    Side shot of mine. 2" front/2" rear still leaves the rear just barely higher (about 1/2") for some reason.

    Think it's totaled?

    Wow man, sorry to hear about that. I do think it will be totaled. The windshield is over $400, the rear glass is $300, not sure about the moonroof glass. But the hood and roof will rack up the cost real quick.

    Black exterior with light/dark cashmere interior

    Does anyone here have this combo? How do you like it? Those in the desert, does it get hot inside? My Suburban has a light/dark cashmere interior, but it's white diamond, which makes it bearable during the summer. I'm considering a Suburban with this color combo, and I'm not sure what I think...

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

    Thank you for the reply. May I ask what happened to yours that it needed to be repainted? I took a look at the pics in page 12 of your thread and I'd say your painter did a good job. Can't tell from those pics that there's a difference in the door & fender. The 3 stage process is why I'm...

    Looking to buy 2008 tahoe

    This is another unfortunate case of the seller thinking "mods add value." They don't; at least, not to a high extent. That looks like an $18500-19000 Tahoe.

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

    $6500, in case you're still curious. Anyone know what a repaint of white diamond tricoat on the entire side of the vehicle should cost? I've never had to get anything repainted.

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

    Is your Tahoe 2WD? If so it will probably just require a swap to a 14 bolt axle after the Duramax and Allison are put in, if it's 4x4 it will probably need the 2500's t-case and front diff to handle the extra torque. I like Duraburb, I enjoy watching their YouTube videos, seems like a great...

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

    Had a pretty crappy week. On Tuesday, a bad windstorm blasted the drivers side of my Suburban. Picked up thousands of rocks, pebbles, and grains of sand and slammed them into my truck. It ended up breaking 2 windows, badly chipped the other, chipped the inside of the passenger side windows...

    sloppy steering

    The problem with sloppy steering is that it could be coming from any of a large set of factors. If I were in your situation I would check the tie rod ends, especially outer. GM uses stupid skinny tie rod ends with tiny joints, so they tend to get worn out on a 5000-6000 lb SUV. Jack up the...

    2007 suburban

    By your description it sounds exhaust related. Maybe the internals of your catalytic converters are falling apart. The cats are somewhat near the trans.

    6.2 vs 5.3, Significant power difference?

    Yes. The 5.3 won't make you smile when you stomp on it. The 6.2 will.

    Resonator Delete without SLP or other tips

    Would it be possible for a muffler shop to simply cut the resonator out then weld a piece of pipe where it was to keep the stock tip? If the hanger is strong enough to hold the resonator plus the rest of the exhaust, it should be strong enough to hold a section of pipe of the same length, I'd...

    Whining alternator driving me crazy, tried everything

    I'm just worried that something else, like a bad ground, may be causing the issue and it will just reappear in the third alternator I throw on. My Suburban is stock with no system or extra lights, and the alternators were 160 amp which the RPO calls for.

    Whining alternator driving me crazy, tried everything

    It's a Remy International alternator. Both were brand new, not reman. Maybe they just make shit alternators. They won't replace this one and I won't spend another $120 on a new alternator. I think I might go to the scrapyard and pull a used alternator off an NBS Silverado and try that.

    Whining alternator driving me crazy, tried everything

    My alternator whines like hell. I have been dealing with this for months, and I'm sick of throwing time and money at it, hopefully one of you can point me in the right direction. The whine goes away when the battery charging cable is disconnected from the alternator. It's a whine from the...

    WANTED - 2008 Suburban/Yukon XL 2500 LT3

    I'm in the same boat, looking to trade my 1500 for a nice 2500. Trust me man, LT3s don't come up too often and the ones that do are either 150k+ miles or snatched up within 2 days. And blue LTs are tough to find for some reason. It's not a color I care for much, but I have noticed the majority...

    Engine clatter/ blue smoke

    Might as well start with the simple stuff first. Suck some Seafoam through the brake booster, then remove the PCV hose (it's kind of a pain to twist it off at the back of the block) and spray some carb cleaner through that. Take off the throttle body too, shine a flashlight down the manifold and...

    Squeal under the hood

    Interesting, I had no idea. Thanks for the info man.

    Squeal under the hood

    My squeal was the s-belt, even when I swore it was the tensioner pulley. Mine looked new as well when I bought the truck. I replaced the belt and it stopped for awhile then started squealing again after a few thousand miles. Turned out that the alternator mounting bolts were not tightened to...

    White Diamond Tricoat with black wheels

    Another no vote to black wheels on WDT. Here's a pic I found last year right here on TYF. This Tahoe owner put black Cragars on his WDT. It's just a look that doesn't work for me. Here's mine on OEM chrome 18s from a Silverado LTZ.
