    Question about tire pressure sensors and backwards compatibility

    Actually might have to scrap that whole idea, my brake discs look pretty huge. Anyone know if they fit with 16 inch rims?

    Question about tire pressure sensors and backwards compatibility

    Right so I was looking for some cheap winter tires for my 2011 Tahoe (stock 275/55/R20) and stumbled upon an interesting looking set. -02 'hoe owner has a leftover set of original 16 inch rims with all the caps intact and some fat 70 height studded tires on them. Should be set for this winter at...

    Z55 rear shocks shot?

    Tried this today since I wanted to try bleeding the air anyways. Kinda eliminates any possibility there's anything wrong with the rear shocks since they bounced just fine when completely depleted of air and raised just fine with some compressed air. Unless there's also the magnet woodo stuff in...

    Z55 autoride leveling

    Yep, i have the same problem with the "ass" being up. It passed inspection just fine but it's annoying to look at. Those ride height sensor rods are in the front slot on mine, also noticed the bracket has another hole further back. I'm kinda suspecting a previous owner has tampered with them...

    2012 Yukon xl 4x4 eating antifreeze?

    Doesn't hurt to do the coffee filter test if nothing else. One bleached coffee filter and one droplet of oil from the dipstick. Let it sit out in the sun until completely absorbed. Should become an evenly colored blot. Yellow or clearly brighter edges means there's fuel in the oil, dark dot in...

    Z55 rear shocks shot?

    I'll crawl under it and snap a few pics tomorrow when it's daylight. It's actually not totally impossible it's been raised and it's in fact the front suspension "sagging". 20 inch rims, 275/55 tires. Got a fresh set of 275/40 for later just because it was cheap but the gap would become even more...

    Z55 rear shocks shot?

    So my 2011 Tahoe has this thing with the rear suspension being all up in the air, I can in fact fit my head under the fender to check on the shocks. About 2-3 inches higher than the front. Checked the air bags after having it parked for a few hours and they feel soft. Turn ignition, wait a few...

    Attempted a short economy run (5.3 vortec)

    Went to visit the old folks the other day, roughly 200 miles back and forth. Went quite heavy on the pedal on the way there with the AC on full since it was a sunny day. Jumped a bit when I checked the average mpg (converted from L/100km for your convenience) it was at 14 MPG and I was like...

    2014 Tahoe lift gate wont open

    Here I was charging up my Makita already when i realized I had been playing around with the sunroof yesterday. Thanks for the easy fix. Now I just need to figure out if an electrical handle can be repaired or if I need to order a new unit. (works by remote and now thanks to your info, with that...

    Hello from Finland

    Thanks everyone for the welcome and big thanks for all the advice I'm already getting! Been told by the auctioning company not to touch the car until the dispute is settled (seller had claimed everything works which perhaps ramped up the bids a bit.) They contacted me after asking for feedback...

    Hello from Finland

    It's actually registered as a cargo truck for local tax (or should I say tax-free) reasons. Saves me around 500 annually so it's a worthy payoff in my opinion. Thing is I can't turn the parking system on at all. The park assist button light on the middle console is permanently on (aka off) and...

    Hello from Finland

    Long story short; needed something able to fit a baby stroller, groceries and whatnot whilst able to tow a car on a trailer. Bid on various auctions and somehow ended up an owner of a 2011 Tahoe although I bid mostly on pick-up trucks and vans. Long story long; First impression is it worked out...
