    Valvetronic Designs Universal Muffler?

    For sure! I talked to Valvetronic Designs yesterday and they invited me to come down to their HQ and show me around their facilities for my YouTube channel. I’ll be documenting all of that and I’ll also update here.

    Swapped 10 speed support?

    Hey Black Bear! I’ve been planning on coming to you for a tune after my first round of modifications, but I just looked at your website and now I’m wondering if you might not support my resulting setup. I have a 2015 Tahoe LTZ 4x4 and I’m about to take it to Powertrain Swap Solutions in...

    Premier Grille swap

    So, for some reason, the person who sold me that $200 grille on eBay couldn't figure out how to ship it, so they refunded my money instead. I am now ordering that OEM RST grille from GM Parts Giant that I linked above–GM part # 84245982. I'll let you know how it goes.

    Can I flux core mig weld a custom exhaust?

    Do we have any welding or exhaust experts here? I REALLY want to build this exhaust myself. I can get a universal steel exhaust kit that has all of the piping that I would need. But I'm brand new at welding and I'm wondering if flux core MIG welding is sufficient to build this exhaust? It's a...

    Premier Grille swap

    Just found a brand new black OEM RST grille for $742 +$57 shipping to me. It's a lot but it's less than $1000, and I really didn't want to pay $400 for a used one with marks all over it. If I'm not happy with the one that arrives in 2 days, I'll buy this one...

    Premier Grille swap

    It's a direct swap. I'm about to swap mine out. Though the cheapest used black RST grille that I could find was $400 ($1000 for new), so I ended up ordering this one for $200. It should arrive on Wednesday. eBay description said it was a used OEM grille. Kinda worried that when it arrives I'll...

    Hood Insulation

    Tangentially related; my 2002 Tahoe has an aftermarket cowl hood, and I installed an aftermarket insulation and underhood cover with the Chevy logo on it and some super bright LED strip lights. I'm SUPER happy with it.

    Valvetronic Designs Universal Muffler?

    I came across Valvetronic Designs just now and then decided to search the forum to see if anyone had used them here. Guess not! They are super interesting though. I'm thinking about installing one, possibly two on my 2015 Tahoe LTZ. I've always loved the dual rear, quad tip look. Every...

    Yep, tune is needed as part of the swap. Powertrain Swap Solutions and their certified partners include the tune as part of the turnkey swap.

    6L80 to 10L90 swap? Seeking insight on a 10 speed transmission upgrade

    oh wow! Has this been done before? 12 speed is pretty awesome! How do you control that? Is it as simple as a tune? Or does the Gear Vendors splitter have a control module?

    35’s were a poor choice of tire

    No surprise. I have a 6" suspension lift and I still needed a significant amount of trimming to prevent rubbing from my 35's.

    Oh man, just heard back from Powertrain Swap Solutions and they're only booking 2 weeks out right now for turnkey swaps! I'm in Buenos Aires right now and I won't even be back to New Jersey until first week in August. Then I have a rock concert in Nashville. I just asked them about getting on...

    6L80 to 10L90 swap? Seeking insight on a 10 speed transmission upgrade

    Wow awesome share! Exactly the kind of golden insight I was hoping for, thanks! Dang that's a really strong case for the 10sp.. I might just pull the trigger. I asked Powertrain Swap Solutions about getting on their schedule–now awaiting their response.

    6L80 to 10L90 swap? Seeking insight on a 10 speed transmission upgrade

    Can anyone speak to the difference in driving experience between the stock 6L80 trans in my 2015 Tahoe LTZ and a 10L90? I recently bought a 2015 Tahoe LTZ with 251k miles on it. At the moment, the transmission is not shifting past 4th gear. Before I start spending money at the transmission...

    Jon Caveman's 2015 Tahoe LTZ

    It might be worth it doing this aftermarket version though because it's wider.. nothing really fits on my OEM one

    Jon Caveman's 2015 Tahoe LTZ

    Awesome, thanks! I saw some aftermarket ones that had a really cheapo blue tint. Just want to make sure I stay away from those. This is definitely on my list. Yours is looking awesome!

    Whoa nice! My OEM lid had wireless charging so I just swapped those components into this replacement lid. Everything fit!
