    Torque Management

    hmm that's interesting, thanks for the info I didn't know that.. side note; I really wish diablosport would post more details on their 'canned' tunes, it would just be really help when selecting the mods you want or don't....but its likely not transparent for 'business reasons' I suppose).

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

    ..replaced Blend Door Actuator today, kinda of a ***** to get the 1 kick panel bolt removed and the far bolt on the actuator(drivers side), but with a 5.5mm allen key into 1/4 drive 7/32 socket worked ok, at least got close to the right stack height to access the bolts.... I'd love to see the...

    Torque Management

    2009 LT....all I remember was the screen wasn't what I was expecting to find when I open up the module...I was literally just scrolling thru all the perimeters of i2030 and kinda stumbled upon it...might ask on the diablesport forum for specifics

    Torque Management

    I just recently tuned via diablesport i2030, of which I turned OFF the TM, different is noticeable (or I think it is...hard know exactly when you do a tune as you change many things all at the same time)...anyway if anything I have noticed it mostly at passing speeds just being more engaged and...

    2009 Tahoe@ 202k Rear Axle Seals....

    So awhile back I was do a brake service and replacing rotors and pads (Powerstops, which have been sweet I might add)......When I went to do the rear brakes and pulled the rotors the parking brake shoes had a bit of oil on them.... So I assumed this was a direct cause to the axle seals been...

    Achieving that "new car ride" again without buying a new car again.

    Yeah I agree with Ubervic...somethings amiss....could be Hub bearings...I'd jack her up and put hands at 12 and 6 and feel for wheel movement/sounds...if not..check sway links...but 60k should be just broke in, not broke.

    Achieving that "new car ride" again without buying a new car again.

    ....I'm in the process of trying to get 'near' to that new car feel as well....my 09 has 202k and while its been quite trouble free, the wear and tear has taken a toll ...as such I'm rebuilding the entire front end....upper and low control arms, ball joints, tie rods, hubs, sway links,and...

Now that its tuned, not sure I would play with it...

    2009 Tahoe Front End Rebuild.....

    Hey my Tahoe has 202k miles, good miles but a lot of them...its time for a front end rebuild as the steering grabs ruts, braking is compromised (meaning at full stop it feels like the wheels toeing out and in........Note: currently stock height (not lowered), bilsteins+plus eibach sway bars...

    Steering stabilizer

    Ya know a few years ago someone here used a SS from NBS to NNBS...I search to find it again but to know avail. Anyway I believe he ended up drilling out 1 hole into the frame in addition to an L bracket or something. Either way wish I could find the thread, as I'd like to give it a try..bigger...

Anyway I picked up Diablosport i2...shipped quick, super easy to set-up and decent performance so far..I have only added one canned tune, turned off...

    Brake Recommendations? PowerStop?

    I recently did front and rears with Powerstop drilled/slotted with Powerstop pads...very pleased, not only with the price, but increased stoppage.....stock rotors/pads would heat up and fade very easily, the PS don't. Would recommend. -Note: Flush your brake lines if you change rotors/pads, I...

    Michelin Premier LTX or Michelin Defender or Bridgestone Dueler????

    hmm that cool to go with the 55's....does the stock PPV also have those...65's are just too big a sideways with these heavy trucks unless you go 'E' loads imo.

    2009 Tahoe Brake Job, quick report.

    This place is the bible for anything Tahoe related obviously, however sometimes there's almost too much info too! I know when I was researching recently for Brakes I scoured everything in print to get the low down on the 'best' rotors, 'pads', fluid...etc.. Ultimately what I found was there was...

    How to fix Hot Air when A/C is on. Install new air mix/blend door actuator

    I'm having the same problem, but its the driver's side that blows hot when the passenger blows cold....fresh charge on the AC. I can get ithe drivers side to work temp if I cycle the heat/cold adjustments on each side. Where can I find a schematic for the actuators, to find out which one...

    2009 Tahoe: AC inconsistance Fan between driver/pass

    update: (note: I haven't recharged my AC, as its seems cold enough, but the blend door seemed off- which made driver side blow hot and pass side blow cold- until I cycled driver/pass temps- then it would equalize until the next time I turned of the motor and the issue would recycle itself)...
