Clearance to run 18X9.5 0mm offset on 09 Denali?
I think it will fit too...but I bet it's going to be real close. My wheels are 18x9 +18 with 275/70/18s and I had to do A LOT of trimming. They fit now with zero rubbing ever, but I can't go any wider in wheel, any lower in offset, or any bigger in tire. I'm maxed out in every dimension... -

Black bear tune anyone increase MPG???
When my Tahoe was brand new I couldn't break 20mpg on flat highway at 55mph...seriously, it would toggle between 19.9 and 19.8. But at that time I got 16mpg around town in the summer and 14.5mpg in the winter. That slowly eroded to 15mpg summer, 13.5mpg winter over the years. Then I put big...- The Raven

Tahoe Z71 renovation project - Headlight Retro Thread
No justifying needed - my "play" money comes out of a separate budget specifically for "toys". I don't have to ask my wife for permission for any of this stuff. Also I wasn't trying to convince you of anything. Just sharing my experience and some helpful hints for anyone who may be... -

Tahoe Z71 renovation project - Headlight Retro Thread
There's no comparison between even the best LED drop-ins and purpose-built projectors...different league. HOWEVER, when you take price into account, there is an argument for the drop ins - as long as you get the good ones that work properly in the stock reflectors. There is a YouTube video... -

The brush guard I believe is Westin...I got it seven years ago when I bought the truck so I don't really remember. Tires are Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac 275/70/18. -

Tahoe Z71 renovation project - Interior Thread (Custom Leather)
All leather tops. It's their "Premium" content setup, so only the sides and backs of the seats are vinyl. So basically everything on the top facing surfaces out to the edge french seams is leather. I went with their standard leather cause this is a truck, and I use it like a truck. What they... -

Tahoe Z71 renovation project - Interior Thread (Custom Leather)
I am planning to do the inserts to match. Not in any hurry though, kinda getting tired of constantly working on the truck, and I seem to have screwed up my PAC OS module when I fixed the dash so now i'm falling down the rabbit hole of sound system upgrades - you know, while I have everything... -

Tahoe Z71 renovation project - Suspension and Brakes Thread
So about a week after I got the suspension re-assembled, I started hearing a squealing from my front brakes. I knew exactly what it was and many of you will too - the pad abutment brackets had corroded where the pad clips seat and basically locked the pads in place so they couldn't retract...- The Raven

Tahoe Z71 renovation project - Suspension and Brakes Thread
I almost traded my NNBS Tahoe Z71 in back in February because I had a ton of GM card points to use and the Tahoe needed some TLC. Unfortunately i'm not a big fan of the new Tahoes nor spending near $70k for one and I just wasn't happy with anything smaller. Got real close to a deal on a new LT...- The Raven

Tahoe Z71 renovation project - Headlight Retro Thread
Results - the cutoff pic is terrible because I don't have a place where I can get 24ft from a clean wall and be completely level...so this is it...you'll just have to trust me that they're level: Low beam: High beam: Outside: I had to get a bit creative with aiming. Trucks are... -

Now the install - this was a pain because the only way to aim the damn things is on the truck...then remove them to modify, then re-install to check aim, then remove to modify...repeat 11 times. Done: -

Tahoe Z71 renovation project - Interior Thread (Custom Leather)
The installation of the leather is not nearly as hard as it's made out to be on line. Patience is the thing, you have to take your time and make sure you are lining things up and pulling consistently as you go. As long as you make sure you pull out the wrinkles as you work, you'll end up with... -

Heated/Cooled Seats, how exactly do they work?
The same thing is used in all the Cadillacs now. They have changed over completely to "self-regulating" seat heaters, and they suck on all counts. More expensive, take longer to heat up, don't get as hot, and they don't last. Basically it's a step back in every single way possible. The... -

Heated/Cooled Seats, how exactly do they work?
So i'm going to go ahead and guess, based on how well I know General Motors, that you have the same elements that are now used in the Cadillacs. It's a ducted pad that contains a self-regulating heating element laminated on top. If so, then you need those replaced. It happens on the Cadillacs... -

Seat Foam Cushion
Were you there back in '07 and '09? I feel like it was a Chad that I worked with for my WS6 and Z06 interior projects. That's awhile ago so my memory could be wrong, or it could have been a different Chad. -

Tahoe Z71 renovation project - Cracked Dash Fix
The vinyl will do a better job than rigid reinforcements epoxied to the bottom. That said, I can't say that there will be an effective difference other than the fact that the vinyl will hold the dash together after it cracks. Even with those dashskins the underlying dash still cracks. Even... -

Tahoe Z71 renovation project - Cracked Dash Fix
This is what i'm banking on too. I have the vinyl to reinforce it and some foam in the big void for basic support. But my truck has been garaged all it's life (now in a climate controlled garage too) and it's a third vehicle so it only sees maybe 6k miles a year. So i'm just banking on all of...
