    20 Inch Tire Recommendations

    I went with Cooper Zeon LTZ. It is available in the stock size but I went with 305/50r20. Love them. They rub in the front on the sway bar and in the rear on the liner--until I got the Spohn adjustable track bar. I'm lowered in the rear2" also. I wanted a tire to more fill out the fenders...

    Dex-cool vs the green stuff

    I changed Dex-Cool for Peak Global Lifetime. Still an HOA coolant but without the acid. You can flush and re-fill without the fear of reaction between the two. I did have to look awhile and finally found the Peak at NAPA. Do a search--it was enlightening. Working fine.

    Shopping for a new battery.

    What type? Cheap or AGM or flooded or ??? Northstar, Bosch and Oddesy make good AGM batteries.

    Squeaking suspension.

    This is going to sound strange, but check the parking brake cables as well. The housings can squeak and sound like part of the suspension. Coat them and the bushings with silicone spray or a WAX-based undercoating like Amsoil HD-MP or Eastwood.

    pan hard question

    Old post, but I installed the Spohn the other day. Got the Del-Sphere ends. Works very well, but I have a slight clunk now. The shaft of the factory bolt is slightly smaller than the threads--get the Spohn bolts. On the Spohn bolts the shaft is slightly larger than the threads which means...

    What cold weather milage are you seeing out there?

    It's like a light switch. Above 50 and I get 17-17.5mpg around town. 20F and below and I get 13-14mpg around town doing the same driving. Tire pressures are 35 at 20, 37 at 50... I think a lot of people have stated it here: colder air is denser=more fuel per unit; longer warm up times; more...

    Escalade side mirrors on a Tahoe LTZ!

    It is. Almost too “cute”. However, I found a few distributors (adcelectric?) that sell for about $500? There were a few others as well for about $600. https://www.adcmobile.com/product/multi-camera-interface-for-chevrolet-vehicles/ Here is the install manual...

    Escalade side mirrors on a Tahoe LTZ!

    I wonder if you would be able to wire the Cadillac mirror cameras to an aftermarket unit, like the Rostra 250-8450: http://www.rostra.com/chevrolet-gmc-blindspot-front-camera.php You would still need the body wiring, but this would only entail one or two wires per side? I would think it would...

    Missing features

    The ability to have the rear camera on longer after shifting out of reverse--Ford has that. A flat cargo floor with the third row folded! I got tired of having stuff dump on the ground while raising the tailgate so I finally removed the third row. I loose some "capabiltiy" and I shouldn't...

    What tires did you switch to?

    I was considering Toyo, Nitto or Cooper. I decided I wanted "buy American" so I went Cooper. (I wouldn't run Goodyear on my child's pull-along wagon!). I choose the Zeon LTZ in 305/50r20 and LOVE them! They rub some and hum some, but are a great tire with great looks. So far they are...

    TPMS TOOL AUTEL TS401 Who has one?

    I have the Autel. Bought it when I got the Tahoe. I use it every time I rotate tires. Love it! Very reliable and extremely easy to use. I figure in 50k miles I have paid for it by now. I also have a Ford Explorer and it works on that, too. Seems like it was more like $100 when I bought...

    Battery Supply

    It does reset all the settings, but you are better off taking the battery out (or at least disconnecting it). I store a few cars a similar way and I just take the battery out and take it with me. I store them in my garage and hook up a trickle charger to them often. It's a pain, but less than...

    Braking Performance (Under 2000 Miles)

    Yes. Seems like it took nearly 10k before my brakes fully came around. Had a "hard" pedal nearly the entire time. There is another post on here stating similar results.

    Unusal Inner LR Tire wear

    Could be three things: 1. They wore that way on the front and it is just now being noticed--I have done this before. 2. Tire issue--inside of tire has softer rubber and is wearing faster. 3. (Unlikely but possible) bent axle housing/bearing issue/rear axle issue causing excess camber or toe...

    Long time GM owner

    You realize Ford and GM have shared transmissions for at least two body-style generations now? It has been a joint venture by both.

    2018 Yukon Denali - Door Alignment Off?

    This happens with any assembled component. My Tahoe is off. The driver door rattles on the locking latch on LARGE bumps. So I just adjusted the striker plates as best I could and went from there. As others have said, this wasn't hand built and doesn't cost $200k (the price of admission for...

    Any Good Headers for Newer Model Tahoes?

    Seems like Dynatech also look good? Long tube with catted or non-catted y-pipe. Now if only I could afford them! And the exhaust. And the supercharger. And the .....

    What did you do to your 2015-2020 K2XX Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    You can try to save the letters, but it is kinda futile. I removed mine, and saved the letters, but I really doubt I will be able to ever use them again. The foam tape on the back just shreds when you try to remove the letters. However, it looks super clean!

    Tekton Tools

    Thanks! I also purchased the large 1/2" torque wrench and it does fine. Definitely a viable option since Craftsman is no where near what it was and Snap-on is ridiculously priced.

    New 2018 Tahoe available with 6.2 V8 and 10 speed !!

    Yeah. I was kinda bummed that the "Performance Package" is only available in the Premier, but the RST Appearance Package is available in the LT and Premier. Seems strange to offer one without the other? I'm sure some would want a "stripper" RST with the performance package.

    Tires stick out 2.5 left and 1.5 right. What?

    How did you deal with the parking brake cable?

    305 50 20 Cooper Zeon LTZ

    Just to follow up for all interested. I had the Coopers (Zeon LTZ 305/50r20 on stock +27 rims) installed on my 3/4" / 2" lowered Tahoe. No rubbing in front. Fits great. Only rubbed twice in back when you put the rear axle in articulation. Rubs on the back of the wheel liner. I think some...
