    Questions to owners of 07-13 Suburban/Yukon XL 2500s

    Not bad, there's a Carmax in El Paso so I think I'll head there next week to get a quote. Appreciate all your advice man.

    GM CK916 22" Wheels w/ tires, TPMS, center caps

    Buyer was a no-show so these are still available. $1000 takes them.

    Questions to owners of 07-13 Suburban/Yukon XL 2500s

    I found a nice clean one nearby, 78k miles, 3LT, 4x4, clean inside and out... but they were unwilling to move on their $11k trade offer for my LTZ. I mean I was expecting to get lowballed, but damn, not that badly. Every online trade appraisal tool I've tried has me at $14k (and that's "fair"...

    These are pending sale at the time, I'll post back up here if that deal doesn't work out.

    Post before and after pics

    Ah, the joys of owning a black vehicle. I actually kind of miss it, gave me an excuse to detail more often, a hobby that I enjoy.

    Questions about lifting and gear ratios

    I got a quote from a local shop when I was considering switching to 4.10 gears. It was around $2800 IIRC including parts and labor.

    GM CK916 22" Wheels w/ tires, TPMS, center caps

    Sorry guys who are far away, I honestly don't know the first thing about shipping 400 lbs worth of wheels, plus I'd be worried about them getting damaged in transit. Just seems like a lot of headache when I could probably throw these on the local craigslist and be done with it. Plus gas for a...

    Outer Tie Rods

    Moog would be your best bet. I made the mistake of installing Raybestos tie rod ends; within 5,000 miles, one boot split and another was cracked. I replaced the bad one with an ACDelco part, but I'll probably go Moog for both in the future. Makes no sense that GM puts 1/4 ton size tie rods on...

    GM CK916 22" Wheels w/ tires, TPMS, center caps

    Bump. Heck I'll take $1000. I'd rather these rims go to someone who will enjoy them rather than sitting in my apartment collecting dust. I agree, it's my favorite NNBS stock 22, and it's less common than the CK375 which makes me like it even more. In fact I was going to put 33x12.50s on these...

    Reviews? Katzkin Leather/Seat Warmer/Weather Tech Mats

    Firstly, you got a great deal on that Tahoe! I can't speak for Katzkin but I've heard their quality is top notch. I can however attest to the quality of Weathertech liners; I had them on my Nissan Armada. The fit was great and they're sturdy; they get scuffed easily but as long as it's not a...

    Questions to owners of 07-13 Suburban/Yukon XL 2500s

    Thanks, I'll check out Searchtempest. Surprisingly most of the 2LTs or 3LTs I'm finding on cars.com with with <100k miles are in the east.. Pennsylvania, New York, South Carolina. Looks like a long road trip may be in my future. What mileage would you consider too high for a 2500, well...

    Want to flush Transmission w/high miles. Good Idea?

    120k isn't what I'd call high, but I still wouldn't do a machine flush on it. I wouldn't even do one on a brand new vehicle. If you use this method, it uses your Tahoe's own transmission pump to get the old fluid out, and there is no risk of anything going wrong unless you let it run too long...

    Let's see some pics of some lifted and leveled

    Looks like you got 2" from the level kit and then an additional .5-1" from the 5100s. Your front looks higher than mine, which has a 2" level with autoride. Did everything align back to spec?

    2013 ltz 78k miles what should I pay?

    Take off the flywheel inspection cover and feel inside for oil (if the rear main is leaking, they could have wiped it off the transmission but chances are they didn't clean under the cover). Jiggle all the u-joints. Pop the rear glass and look for rust on the hatch. And while you're there, make...

    Max Tire Size Thread?

    There's a thread on here somewhere where a guy fit 285/55r22s on his Denali with just a 2.5" front level. That's about 34.3x11. It looked great. Obviously he had to trim a lot of plastic, remove the air dam and boards, but I can't recall whether he did the Norcal mod. Here's a pic of his truck...

    Changed rear diff fluid

    You absolutely can, and believe me, I thought about it for a while. But I think there's some merit to GM's decision to recommend 80W-90 for the front. - The difference in cold viscosity between 75W-90 and 80W-90 does not become apparent until -10 degrees F, the point at which 80W-90 will yield...

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

    Thanks man. Did you just stick the hose in the cup and suck it up like a straw? Just to get back on topic for what I did to my NNBS, I downloaded a GPS speedometer app that has a 0-60 and 1/4 mile timer, tried the 0-60 timer and got a result of 7.0 seconds :D I've done it a few times and got...

    Good eye, and thanks! There's some nice scenery out there.

    Changed rear diff fluid

    It's true, I think I had to use non-synthetic 80W-90 for the front diff. For anyone else wanting to do this, here are fluid specs from my reference sheet. Note that I have the 14 bolt rear, most NNBS trucks have the 10 bolt, so the fluid capacity would be a bit less than 2.75 quarts. Front axle...

    Questions to owners of 07-13 Suburban/Yukon XL 2500s

    I can't believe how tough NNBS 2500s are to find with <100k miles and in a trim higher than commercial fleet or LS. I wanted at least a basic LT with the regular Bose system and front bucket seats; hope I don't have to settle for an LS. I'm willing to drive 1000+ miles for the right one. Does...

    Changed rear diff fluid

    So if you follow your front wheels to the CV axles to their yokes, they'll be attached to a large piece that looks like this: That's the front diff. The drain and fill plugs are on the drivers side, and it'll take about 2 quarts of 80W-90. Even if you mainly drive in 2wd, it's a good idea to...

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

    I'll give that a try.. which PCV did you use, the one on the airbox? And how much of the can did you suck up?

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

    It's been in the 20s-30s in the morning here, and it sounds like mine has developed an unfortunate case of piston slap. At least I hope it's piston slap and not something more damaging. Anyway, next oil change I'll go with Mobil 1 high mileage, which is supposed to be a bit thicker than Mobil 1...
