    Scraping grinding noise in rear end somewhere.

    @iboughtatahoe23 Do you have drilled and slotted rotors? Does it stop when you apply the brakes? I used to have drilled and slotted rotors and man what a dumb thing for me to do taking it off roading and mudding, half the time little rocks and sand would get in the little holes in the brakes...

    I had never heard of the VLOM mod, I enjoyed learning about it. Did you inspect the cam while you were in there?

    Thoughts on cheap oil?

    Just an update for you guys. The Walmart oil was great, I got about 4 thousand miles in it and I could have run it a lot longer. I got a good deal on a bunch of Costco Kirkland oil and I am currently running that. I think as long as the cheap oil is Dexos certified you’ll be good to go and...

    2012 Tahoe Irregular Tapping in Motor

    @Climbhigh300 Once you get far enough into the motor to swap the cam out you’ll be able to see and address any possibly causes of the problem

    Eibach Front Springs Questions

    The max I would recommend lifting without a proper lift kit would be 3 inches. I haven't heard of anyone running those Eibach springs but if you want to move to a lift spacer that goes on top of the strut instead of under the strut you will want to get at minimum a 2 inch above strut spacer...

    AC left me hanging

    anyone have a link to a good blower motor that isn’t $100+? The used market near me doesn’t have what I need and the only other yellow blower motor I can find is like $120 in rock auto. Does my replacement have to be a yellow fan?

    AC left me hanging

    Today there was a twist in my troubleshooting This morning I had more issues, I smacked the lower dash and the blower came on just fine. After lunch I removed the under dash cover to started digging into troubleshooting and I could not get the blower motor to work regardless of what I did...

    Potential abnormal oil pressure 2014 Yukon

    @Slug0150 What oil were you using originally? Generally oil is pretty much the same. Oil filter will have more of affect on oil pressure than the brand of oil you use

    AC left me hanging

    This morning it was cold the blower wasn't working again. I reached over and smacked under the passenger dashboard and the blower came on again... I am going to put the old resistor back in and see if I can get it to work at all and do a better job of inspecting the electrical connectors...

    Need to Replace Upper Control Arms and Ball Joints

    I would recommend doing the entire arm as that includes the bushings and balljoints, I would do upper and lower while in there: Upper left: MOOG RK80669 Upper right: MOOG RK80670 Lower left: MOOG RK620888 Lower right: MOOG RK620889 Might as well do tie rods while you're in there: Outter x2...

    Am I buying the right kit?

    @Rylan Best bet would be to convert to 4wd

    Am I buying the right kit?

    @Rylan In the meantime maybe look into what it would take to convert your setup to be more like those on the 08 if that's the hangup but that could be a diff or tcase swap..

    Am I buying the right kit?

    This is actually a great question, I do not have the answer. I suspect that maybe the front diff is different so the diff drop that comes with the lift kit might not fit but hopefully someone that knows will answer. To confirm, you have AWD and autoride or is your Autoride disabled?

    AC left me hanging

    Update: The blower for the front of the Tahoe quit entirely last week. Leading up to complete failure the front air blower would pulsate a bit before turning on all the way. $50 later from Orileys I have a janky new blower resistor installed and now the front blower works again. I would have...

    2013 Suburban lift kit suggestions

    I would rather go with bilstein 5100s with spacers over lifted Rough Country struts. Here is my Tahoe, the details and build log are in my signature

    Potential abnormal oil pressure 2014 Yukon

    Sounds fine to me, the hotter the engine the lower the oil pressure will be. Your numbers are well within good standing of good oil pressure

    Is Motor worth saving or Just get a new motor

    @Jrevans1245 It should be easy to fix the leak, give it an oil change and see how it does.

    14 Tahoe Rough Idle + other symptoms

    These motors try and idle as low as possible which results in a stumble. I tried many things with no luck but I was able to sort it out by running higher quality fuel and tuning the idle RPMs to be higher, I think I have it set to 600RPMs and it's very smooth now. I'm at 191,000 miles

    Will 34`s Fit with my 1 1/2 inch leveling kit?

    Are you using factory wheels? You might get away with it if the offset of your wheels isn't too great but you'll need to trim a lot of the fender and the norcal mod on the body side. I say go for it and let us know!
