    To go from 2015 to 2016 Tahoe?

    Sounds like a no brainer. Post up pics of both Tahoes if you can

    Replacement door handles?

    https://www.gmpartsdirect.com/oem-parts/gm-handle-outside-84053438 this is what I got googling one of those part numbers. How difficult is it to replace the exterior handle? Am I basically gonna need to pull the whole interior door panel off?

    2012 Chevy Tahoe LTZ Center Console

    Same here. Didn't even realize they were a thing until after my 08 Tahoe was totaled and I bought a 2011 Tahoe. Best 16 bucks I've ever spent.

    Forgot to post these--replaced my front bushings and sway bar links. This is what one of the old ones looked like: My suspension still squeaks...

    Changing sway bar links

    I replaced both of mine with Moogs the other day, as well as the bushings. Super easy as long as you have both of the front wheels off the ground. Remove both links rather than trying to install one while the other is still hooked up. That way you can move the sway bar around easily by hand...

    LED Backup Lights

    You can replace the reverse lights with LEDs. There are plenty of options on amazon and they’re cheap, like less than $10 each. I get plenty of light out of mine and they’re super easy to change out. The off road style floods will give you a ton of light but they just seem like overkill to me.

    2008 Denali XL - 185K miles....when will the "big bill" come callin'?

    Since you’ve dropped the transmission pan several times already, how difficult was the process? I haven’t attempted it yet but I’ve read that it’s a pain in the ass due to the exhaust pipe running below it. I’m at about 78,000 miles now and was planning on dropping the pan and changing the...

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    I had some silicone based brake grease that I was going to use but did some quick googling during the install and what I saw said not to use it. I’m regretting that now, but it does sound a little like the squeak is coming from the rear end rather than the front. Maybe I’ll get around to...

    I remember you posting those headlights awhile back. What made you decide to get rid of them? And how much would you sell them for?

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    I’ve never done this myself. Aren’t the tranny pans on these GM trucks notoriously difficult to get off because of the exhaust pipe or something?

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    No I didn’t I didn’t look super closely but there wasn’t anything noticeably wrong with them. Is there something in particular I should look for that’s a giveaway they need to be replaced or lubed? The only plastidip that got into that part of the rim was just overspray from the rest of the...

    2011 Tahoe Z71 Build Thread

    Pulled the wheels off to redo the plastidip and paint the calipers red today. Old plastidip coming off It actually did some damage to the lugnut covers when it came off, which was surprising The first time I plastidipped my rims I didn’t take the wheels off the truck. Taking them off and...

    Well that was fast

    Had a similar experience a few months back--a drunk driver in a Jeep cut across traffic and pulled out in front of my wife who was driving my 2008 Tahoe. Ended up totaling the Tahoe but USAA was great and actually gave me significantly more than I thought it was worth so I upgraded to a 2011...

    It’s been in the 90s with high humidity here in Va Beach since May and for some reason it seems to rain every weekend

    2011 Tahoe Z71 Build Thread

    Thanks, I like it a lot so far. The head unit cost about $300, plus another $100 or so for the wiring harness, parking brake bypass and housing. I used a Metra Axxess harness but I’ve heard good things about the idatalink maestro. I think you can actually set that one up to give readings from...

    Yeah I had no idea it wasn’t wireless until after I got it but with the way the battery would drain it makes sense to have my phone plugged in and charging. I had a lot of hiccups getting the thing installed but now that it’s finally in there and done I’m happy with it. I also added a parking...

    Get a catch can before any mods.

    I'm happy to get 18+mpg with the cruise control set to 70 but most of my longer drives are through Virginia which isn't exactly extremely flat.

    22mpg?! How the hell did you manage that?
