    Tire size for a 4" lift

    Hi I have a 4" BDS lift on my 2009 Tahoe and will be shopping for tires soon. I have Michelin Defender LTX M/S 2 in 285/70R/17 on 17x9 wheels. According to the spec on these tires they are supposed to have a height or diameter of 32.8" But using a level and a ruler, I measured 31.5". I really...

    Dual Batteries installation.

    Thanks! So there was no need to run any new wires for the dual setup through that ring sensor near the starter battery? I am also interested in a bigger alternator. If you find one, please share the info!

    Dual Batteries installation.

    @Tozan did you still have to run any your negative cables from the second batt through that sensor near the starter battery that is wrapped around the normal negative cables to make sure the second battery does get charged? I read somewhere that the cables need to go through that sensor ring or...

    Dual Batteries installation.

    @Raptor Tahoe Are you still using this isolater? Any regrets? Also, when you installed it, did you still have to run any of your negative cables through that sensor near the starter battery that is wrapped around the normal negative cables to make sure the second battery does get charged, or...

    Tranny Woes

    Well, I took it to a tranny shop, one with a good reputation, gave my story and the keys and asked them to diagnose it. Of course, the tranny would not act up while they had it, and they did do a bi-directional scan while driving it and checking for other codes. The scan revealed nothing out...

    Tranny Woes

    Thanks for the tips. the tranny was also slipping out of gear without the dash board lighting up. A couple of times in lower gears, but put it in tow mode and that went away. Then it happened again at higher gears in tow mode where it slipped and went out of tow mode, but no dashboard lights...

    Tranny Woes

    I have a 2009 Tahoe 5.3 with the 6L80 and about 150k miles. I just returned from a long highway trip towing a small boat and camping gear in the back of the Tahoe. While driving on the highway, the tranny suddenly went out of gear (think I was in 4th or 5th), and all the lights turned on in...

    Transmission issues?

    Ok. That's worth a try. The only things I changed recently before the tranny started acting up is that I changed the driver side rocker cover and added a catch can. I was starting to wonder if the catch can could be the suspect and maybe some vacuum leak but hoses are all snug. I could always...

    Transmission issues?

    Yeah, I am starting to think that it will need to be rebuilt; I am planning to keep it. The low fluid could be because of me. I changed the fluid about 5000 miles ago and it is possible I did not get enough in. I did put half a quart in the other day where it's now registering on the higher end...

    Transmission issues?

    I have a 2009 Tahoe 4x4 with the 5.3 and the 6l80 with 150000 miles. Recently, the transmission has started having issues where it slips out of gear, or does not engage it. This has happened after stopping at a light with the front pointing up on a slight incline. I roll out in first gear, then...

    PCV, or not to PCV?

    Here are a few general pics. I have taken several while I was building it, so I will probably do a build thread this winter.

    General pics of the Tahoe, or what I did for the oil can?

    PCV, or not to PCV?

    @opfor2 I had to cut my OEM PCV line near where it goes into the intake to put the line on from the can since the OEM is one piece of plastic pipe.

    Thanks for everyone's help! I got the new rocker cover and catch can installed, this morning!

    PCV, or not to PCV?

    Hi Joseph! I got the same catch that you have in your picture. The longer line that goes from my rocker cover to the can is going into the end where there is a screen inside. Is yours the same way? Just checking to make sure mine did not get installed in the reverse order; the hoses were already...

    Do you just place it in the bottom of the can?

    PCV, or not to PCV?

    Thanks all! I ordered the updated rocker cover and the J&L oil catcher (they have a steel mesh built-in).
