    Sway bar orientation during install

    @ValleyTahoe From the looks of things, longer end links would only make the hoop contact the kicker bar even more

    No oil on dipstick

    Just crawled under the Tahoe and I do have some sort of oil leak. Thinking either oil pan gasket or front main seal. Oil filter is dry, oil cooler plate is dry, rear main seal area is dry. Thoughts?

    Something else, I don’t think my Tahoe has an oil level sensor. I can see where one would go on the oil pan but there is just a metal plug in it instead. That sound right?

    @donjetman I did install the new style a couple years ago when I did my AFM delete. After the AFM delete I had little to no oil loss/consumption… until now.

    @Doubeleive Thanks for the reassurance. @B-train Yes this is from a gmt800 z71 Tahoe. Pulled from a junk yard, scrubbed down with a green scratchy and then used satin rustolium. The satin doesn’t collect dirt like flat paint. I did it about 3 years ago and is holding up perfectly. Much stronger...

    @Doubeleive Damn that’s not good. I am going to check my oil more often. Engine runs great I have no concerns really and any damage that was done isn’t worth opening the motor for yet. I’ll drive it till it breaks and then fix it and repeat.

    @Marky Dissod i would say that 1/3 of the trip was going uphill, 1/3 was going downhill, and 1/3 was flat ground. On the way back I just left it in 3rd because I would climb a hill and wanted the acceleration or descend a hill and wanted to engine brake. I did a lot of engine braking on the...

    A little disappointed in myself. Went on vacation this weekend 1.5 hours through the mountains to the Humboldt beaches. Tahoe performed amazingly throughout the journey, was on 3rd gear most of the time climbing or descending steep incline hill action at 60mph. Confident in saying I was working...

    2010 Yukon XL Body Shifting Under Braking

    If your body mounts were loose you should be able to find evidence of it in additional to being able to just tighten them down

    Mystery Slack/Play - Wheel hub? CV? Ball Joints? (2008 Yukon Denali)

    @Gildan I would try the same test and try grabbing it at the 6oclock this time, I wonder if the tires touching the ground causes the lower balljoints to be more pronounced VS when you have the control arms on jack stands. But it also sounds like you have more than one problem happening at the...

    ice trip; had some issues (oil pressure / charging)

    Interesting, I am wondering if it was the alternator, battery, or battery cables

    2007 GMC YUKON SLT

    @NickDeezy When my motor needed fixing I tried to go that route with a gen3 but through research I came to conclusion that it wasn't worth the effort. A gen4 5.3 shouldn't be that too hard to find

    Issue with Bilstein 5100 24-185783 & Bilstein Coil Spring - Rear 2003 Tahoe

    @Kolechad913 Go with the Moog 81069 rear coil springs, those are the standard around here

    Rear suspension help

    @Callaway I would start looking into adding air bags like that other person mentioned in another thread to you, even if you do go with another spring air bags might be recommended regardless of which spring you use

    Rear suspension help

    @Callaway Very interesting I haven't seen this one yet, there are some obvious solutions but it seems like you shouldn't be having this problem in the first place

    Question about oil pressure 2014 Tahoe.

    Everything you've described sounds fine to me. My oil pressure gets down to 17-19 when the motor is thoroughly heat soaked

    08 Tahoe 258000 miles hard starting and wet spark plugs

    @j91z28d1 I think in this situation that isn't the case since power is being sent to the injector but it just isn't firing

    3.5" Lift + Shocks 'n Struts

    @IamSpartacus4x4 If the kit you bought comes with spacers to achieve lift you will just mount the spacer to the top of the bilstein strut. Same for the rear, the kit should come with shock extension brackets

    They sell a metal plug that you just screw in there and forget about it

    Bought a 07 DOD Tahoe.. need help

    If they skipped the ECU tune with a mechanical delete it would not run correctly. Very surprising there is no code, are you sure there are no codes or historical codes?

    Very high pitched squeaking noise

    @iboughtatahoe23 I wonder if the calipers aren't releasing properly and are dragging, when was the last time you replaced your caliper hoses?

    Very high pitched squeaking noise

    @iboughtatahoe23 Does it happen when you slow down or brake in a straight line?
