    why no Diesel Tahoe/Yukons?

    Seems like that would have been 10x the seller as the Hybrid...and should have been cheaper to run, repair, good power,amazing torque ...etc and likely better fuel consumption(especially compared to the gas versions)... discuss...

    Suggestions for 08 Tahoe mudflaps

    Yes they make two models for the front flaps...one for LTZ and one for the other models both will work with running boards..I put the fronts on my LT with runners (cause I was getting soo much road crap kicked up on the runners) this solved that problem without looking like the "old mans...

    Eibach Sway Bars - Install Pics

    Just installed Eibach Rear Sway bar tonight on my 09 LT....I can not believe the difference this part makes...further more I can't believe GM didn't spec something like this from the start! Turns a very Stock sluggish ride into something more expected in terms of handling predictability...I...

    New 2.5/3.5 Suspension Drop

    Very nice....I was looking into the Eibach's as well....so how did you get the 3.5" in the rear? The specs claim 2.4 Ft and RR. Very curious of the ride characteristics from stock...besides stiffer..lol I was considering doing the Pro-damper kit with the Pro springs.

    Ok- here my Plan...(Wheel Plan that is!)..opinions?

    I just picked these wheels up today- I really like the fatter 6 spoke style of the GMC wheels over the current rounder 5 spoke Chevys..... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180480073990&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT#ht_7782wt_1167 They are going on a...

    Upgrading 17" to 20" tires/rims

    If you look on ebay you will see the offer your dealer is giving you on the polished 20" is fair good- quick and simple way to upgrade! I decided to go the other way for now...I bought a set of stock steel 17" with caps which I'm having pwder coated black for that rugged look....truth be told I...

    Eibach sway bars

    I just ordered the rear....I think I read this right...but most of the feedback was that the rear SB had the greatest benefit compared to the front?

    07-09 Eibach spring kit?

    Has anyone done the eibach spring kit on a 07-10 tahoe? if so how did it work out? I was thinking of doing this kit with new shocks (as i think due to the spring curve heavier duty damping would be required)...

    Rubber...what are you all rolling?

    thanks for all the feedback.... My thinking is an evolution in process here so bear with me- I believe I'm going with the stock size 17"...however I still want the performance of 20"+ tire, specificially in the handling(or lack of sway in the tire), so just curious if anyone has used an LT's...

    Rubber...what are you all rolling?

    I'm looking for new rubber..... I've narrowed it down to 2 choices soo far: either for my stock 17" or going up to 20"'s. I drive all over the place....mostly highways, and country roads...lots of wet conditions...with some ice and snow... or hot and dry. with about 40K a year! General...
