    2011 LTZ Tahoe towing question

    Your post packs a punch. Lotta facts & good info. I’m pretty confident that a set of Hellwig sway bars and their new Poly bushings will getcha back to one handed driving so the other hand can handle that coffee or thirsty two ouncer.

    2009 Yukon Denali AWD High Transmission Temps - SOLVED

    Welcome from SoCal, thank you for calling out the trucks description out front. I drove my 09 Denali clone from TX to CA and the trans did run warm when I got stuck in construction traffic on the highway. You’ve got a slight increase in performance on the motor which is likely taken the trans...

    2011 LTZ Tahoe towing question

    Hey, welcome back. You’re so close to the size of the other trailer it’s odd the WD hitch isn’t doing it. Are you traveling with anything in the water or waste tanks? If so you could shed quite a few lb by emptying most of it out. I’ve heard some say that if the WD set up is overdone it will...

    2011 tahoe ds lower hinge

    Did you ever use Kroil or something similar to remove the krud built up on the bar and slider? I took my 09 to to a highline auto body guy to replace the p/s lower hinge and he refused to do it. I wd-40 & 10w-40 that hinge for 2 weeks. Got nuth’n. When the truck went back to the same shop a...

    Replace 31 gallon tank with 39 gallon tank from 2500 series Suburban?

    I gave them a ring about 2 years ago. Ty for the link. They can manufacture or make almost anything however, they’re not allowed to sell it. Kinda like prohibition on booze, but for gas tanks. They suggested having a shop custom make one as the only option. He said most shops wouldn’t accept...

    Small Coolant leak from hvac heater hose quick connector

    Neck it until you get OEM from Rock auto or Gruven. A trip to the plumbing store to grab some copper fittings and hose clamps will get u by.

    Interior gauges , radio , blinkers etc... on a 2008 Yukon SLT ,

    Classic symptoms of -\+ battery cable rotting from the inside out. Those rotten battery cables also create false DTC codes. Replace the cables first and foremost, then the diagnostics can begin. Keep in mind the cable replacement may fix the symptoms your having.

    Remote Start Troubleshooting

    The tech 2 will remote start the vehicle. If it won’t start then step back and google some questions for a while. Odd things like the back lift gate glass not registering as closed or that aftermarket radio is causing a problem when it initially wasn’t.

    Z55 rebuild or bilsteins

    Gotcha, looks like the best advice to get is from the one who’s filling out the project build sheet on the LTZ.

    Small Coolant leak from hvac heater hose quick connector

    Ah yes, generic overseas parts. Even if they’re guaranteed for life and cost 1/2 as much, it doesn’t mean Jack when you’re crossing the desert and hit traffic when it’s 115* ambient. That’s the standard I maintain our vehicles to, a weekend drive to Vegas during Summer.

    Z55 rebuild or bilsteins

    That’s a common thing to say about putting good money after bad on an 09 LTZ you paid $7k for. It’s actually just the opposite though. My rig was stickered for $88k when new in 09. 11 years later I picked it up for $14.5k. Last year, after 4 years of ownership it got a new trans, all fluids...

    Interested in beefing up my Suburban

    The sway bars and springs were one of the best bangs for the buck you could’ve done. Since the weather gets a little dicey where you’re at why not look into seat heaters & coolers and / or dual batteries. Nothing better than taking a break to warm up in the truck when it’s in the negatives...

    Z55 rebuild or bilsteins

    No warranty on z55 or z95, knock on wood. Used Koni & Arnott lifetime warranty several times. Simple as: Call mfgr, obtain RMA #, buy new strut and return broken part. Arnott used to reimburse for ALL shipping + costs Specifically bought z95 from R/A because they’re no nonsense on warranty &...

    Z55 rebuild or bilsteins

    The post I linked does have info regarding the front end. The wisdom I’m sharing in that post is …. “You’ve only got to do it once the right way with a lifetime guarantee on factory struts. Jerry-rigging parts and sensors for an economy ride means you’ll be doing it again & again and have your...

    Replace 31 gallon tank with 39 gallon tank from 2500 series Suburban?

    Finally found the info on the GMT 900 dual tank set up for a 2011 6.0L L96 1T truck. This is also the same info as the 3/4T Suburban, Whoa …. Lotta info https://www.justanswer.com/chevy/crzdg-chevy-3500-6-0-liter-gas-dual-tanks.html

    Replace 31 gallon tank with 39 gallon tank from 2500 series Suburban?

    My 09 Esky had the same issue. The cure was replacing the fuel pump, sender, carbon canister and the evap module along with blowing all the loose carbon pellets from the lines and wiping them from the tank when it was out. It now fills up to 31 gal when the gauge says it’s at its lowest without...

    Interested in beefing up my Suburban

    Here I go again. 380 hp 6.0L L96 swap from a 3/4 or 1T. It’s a Reg gas + e85 motor and No AFM. It’s a drop in motor that’ll require a tuner to turn off the existing AFM and uses the current BCM & ECM.
