    Big Brakes?

    Are they just okay because of feel, or stopping power? Wonder if it has anything to do with the electronic brake boost? Thank you for the reply!

    Brake question...

    They are four piston. Look same as new Silverado/Sierra. Not sure if they will adapt to ‘07 as knuckle is totally different.

    Future 2020/21 Tahoe/Yukon/Suburban

    That is our government at work for ya... The "new" roll-over standards state a vehicle roof has to support 1-1/2 times the vehicle weight rating. For the SUVs, that would be 12k lbs--give or take. The pillars have to be huge. I have literally lost cars before in the A pillar. I guess the...

    Big Brakes?

    Has anyone heard if GM will offer the Brembo big brake kit on the new Tahoe/Yukon? They are apparently standard on the PPV and an accessory on the new Silverado. Any aftermarket companies developing new kits? I like big brakes and I cannot lie.....

    Dealer Photos of 2021's On The Lot

    The 10sp and dynamic fuel won’t show up in EPA, only in real world. EPA is such a contrived calculated value now, it as almost as good as battery range in an electric vehicle!

    Wilwood big brake kit 2015 tahoe

    Nissan Titans have 20” steelies that have the same bolt circle and hub bore diameter. They can be bought relatively cheaply.

    2018 Z71 Skid Plate Part Number

    The front non-Z71 skid plate attaches to the round tubular crossmember at the front of the frame. Same place the plastic piece attaches. It does go around/behind the frame cups. Whoever attached the plastic piece from the factory decided to do a superior job-aka tighten until it strips and...

    2015 Suburban..Water pump removal

    There is a bolt hidden behind the pulley such that you have to rotate the pulley and line up a hole with the bolt. Did you get that bolt out. There is also a bolt on the bottom that is hard to see—you have to feel it.

    DIY: Make 2015-2017 LS/LT headlights operate like a LTZ headlight (LED as DRL vice low beams)

    I can’t seem to get the old electrical pins out of the sockets—any tips or tricks? I can get the connector apart relatively easily. After that, the electrical pins won’t come out.

    1/2"-1" front level - what to get and any issues for a 2017 Yukon?

    Go with Bilstein 5100s. Great ride and can adjust the front up about 1.2”. Third groove on shock body. Will level the truck nicely.

    COVID-19 — Disinfecting Motor Vehicle Interior Surfaces

    Just about all "leather" in automobiles today is either urethane-coated leather or vinyl. Unless you are test-driving $500k vehicles, the "pleather" is non-porous.

    Does the wireless charging pad has a dedicated fuse?

    It’s part of the sunroof switch fuse. I think it’s number 10 on the left side dash fuse box? There is a known problem with the wiring harness for the pad in the lid. The wires are always bending and eventually break. So if your pad doesn’t work and you keep popping the fuse, you have a wiring...

    Dealer not honoring warranty work..2018 5.3 Yukon issues

    Unfortunately with arbitration GM usually chooses the arbitrator. You can guess what that means. They stack the deck. Next time just go attorney and court. At least you have even odds then. As for fuel, 15 is too low. I bet the 15 coincided with the “miss” feel. It looked pretty rhythmic...

    Dealer not honoring warranty work..2018 5.3 Yukon issues

    The key to testing fuel pumps is LOAD. Go up (or accelerate up) a very long hill. Accelerate hard from a rolling start, etc... The engine needs to demand a large quantity of fuel at once (or a large amount over a long period of time). The other key for the fuel pumps is heat. Apparently...

    Dealer not honoring warranty work..2018 5.3 Yukon issues

    So, crazy thought—what about the in-tank fuel pump? Have you tried a full-throttle acceleration when misfiring at idle? I had to replace my in-tank fuel pump due to slight stumble at idle and big stumble under WOT. Some of the in-tank pumps are questionable, especially when hot. Other thing...

    Future 2020/21 Tahoe/Yukon/Suburban

    I’m amazed at the charging pad in the center console—still looks like it won’t handle a larger phone. Seriously? On a brand new design they can’t make the charging pad larger and more future proof?!? Argh!

    Tahoe RST Brembo brakes upgrade

    Yes, literally take off the calipers, take off the brackets, take off the rotors. Put on new rotors, new brackets, same calipers (not disconnected from brake lines). Torque to spec and enjoy. I would be surprised if Wilwood also didn’t use factory parking brake, but I have not researched...

    2021 Tahoe & Suburban photos and specs

    Also interesting-the new version is somewhat “monocoque”—the whole body is set on the frame, including radiator support and front fenders. The current version is just body from cowl on back, then fenders and radiator support are built onto it. New version should be stronger and less prone to...

    2021 Tahoe & Suburban photos and specs

    Anyone notice the brakes? Seems like the new ones get four-piston front calipers. Rears look the same as current. Be interesting to see rotor diameter. And a panoramic sunroof! And Z71 with air suspension. Looks similar to the “closed” Jeep setup. The rear spring seats might prohibit...

    2” Rear Lowering Springs “Reverse” Level

    A little off topic—but how do you like the Spohn trailing arms?

    Tahoe RST Brembo brakes upgrade

    Yes. Had issues with caliper bracket due to differences in aluminum spindles vs iron spindles, but Baer was great to work with. I love these brakes! Easy to modulate and great braking power.
