    Mevotech Tough Terrain control arms VS Moog

    I’ve had the Mevotech ‘HD’ ball joints (upper and lower) on my ‘05 z71 Tahoe for about 40k miles with no issues. The front end still feel solid. I have no issues with the zerk fittings either; and, if I recall correctly, they include various units at different angles for your needs. I liked...

    Compustar remote start/alarm w lcd remote

    It’s a little hard to see what’s included in the photo. Do you have a parts list of what’s included? Just to confirm - would this work on a 2007 Tahoe?

    P0300 Misfire in all cylinders 2001 Tahoe

    That I know of - if the tune was set with a vacuum leak, the tune will need to be redone. The same goes for throttle body sizes - if you adjusted the size then the tune will need to be updated to compensate. Also, have you checked your MAF sensor? Clean the sensor with MAF sensor cleaner. Are...

    Cam swap people, what cam did you go with and how do you like it?

    I have a ‘05 Tahoe with some performance mods. I originally went with a BTR stage 2 truck cam, but it felt like I lost a decent amount of torque down low. Mid to top rpm range, I could definitely feel a difference, and it pulled harder at that rpm. A tuner can only help you so much given the cam...

    Front end rebuild Harsh over bumps

    Since you said you did a front end suspension rebuild, did you happen to change the swaybar endlinks? If so, make sure they’re not too tight. If they are, then they may not be allowing your suspension to absorb road bumps, etc.

    Oil pressure slow to build at startup

    Based on your oil pressure and oil weight that you’re running, I don’t think your bearings are shot. If you’re going to tear the front apart to change the o-ring on the pickup tube, I’d recommend changing the oil pump, since you’re already in there. The pump does eventually wear out and can...

    05 Tahoe has loss of torque

    Also look up the recommended sealing of the knock sensors with gasket maker. It’s hard to see in the photo above, but I sealed the entire top of that knock sensor grommet/hole. Water gets down into those holes and corrode the knock sensors due to poor or old grommets. Replace both sensors while...

    2008 tahoe using oil after valve cover change

    There’s a deflector for a pressure relief valve located on the oil pan. Supposedly this is another remedy to the oil consumption. I helped my brother change out his oil pan pick-up tube o-ring, oil pan gasket, rear main seal, and install this deflector on his 2007 Tahoe. He used to go through...

    03 Tahoe Z71 runs great, bad gas mileage.

    What gears do you have in the differential(s)? 3.73 is a good midpoint, but if you have the 4.10’s then that’ll explain your mpg.

    LED brake lights and no cruise control

    Depending on your electrical system, you may need a different relay than this one. I have an ‘05 Tahoe, and mine needed a different LED-compatible relay than earlier models. If you do a search online, some SSR owners were having the same issue, and they detailed that the LM486 worked for them...

    Brake Buying advice

    Have you seen any issues or cracking with the drilled/slotted rotors? I too am considering an upgrade to the nnbs front calipers with brakes and rotors all the way around.

    Seafoam

    Yes. Yes, crankcase and anywhere the oil gets to (including the upper valve train). Try to put it into a vacuum line that will allow the seafoam to be evenly distributed like a vacuum line that is in the middle of the manifold (like the PCV valve line). And it should clean the inside of the...

    5.3 to ls2

    Not sure, but you can try to see if the accessory drive brackets will bolt up to the 6.0 block so that you can keep the compressor and alt. in their original places.

    Finally upgraded my brakes!

    My rears kinda looked like that, and it turned out that the guy that I bought the truck from just put the pads on without turning the rotors. I don't know if the rotors were originals, but they had the GM stamp on them and I had about 150k on the odometer. They were pretty rusted and were...

    A/C Compressor Help????????

    Holy crap....Well you kinda need to know what you are doing to attempt this. You need A/C gauges, proper freon (amount and type), orifice tube, cleaner for the system (I advise), and tools to disconnect the compressor. First you're going to have to let out the freon (should do it the proper...

    A/C Compressor Help????????

    Sounds like the compressor and/or clutch is going bad. It'll do that for a while until it completely locks up and you'll burn right through that secondary belt. Unless someone knows something I don't, I would change it out soon, or disconnect that belt for it until you do. When it does fail (and...

    Awesome wheel cleaner

    Pretty much the way I did mine, and mine had a lot of miles worth of dirt/mud/brake dust. Note that I have the stock Z71 aluminum wheels with BFG's though, and not any chrome rims. After the wheel cleaning, I still washed all the Hoe (even the wheels) and waxed it. It really cut down on a lot...

    Finally upgraded my brakes!

    I've got yellowstuff on all four corners and everything else is stock. All the brake system components worked fine, so there wasn't a need to change anything out when I changed my pads. I had the fronts on for like 5k miles and then they came out with some rears so I got them too. These pads...

    Finally upgraded my brakes!

    I got some yellowstuff EBC pads and they cut down a lot of the stopping distance on my hoe (even when compared to new OEM pads). The initial bite of the yellowstuff pads is also pretty impressive. I noticed these results when I first put them on and they got really good after about 500 miles of...

    why is the 4l60e such a P.O.S.?!

    Yeah, give me the info. If I ever need to rebuild mine, I guess I can try him out. Do you know what type of warranties they offer?

    why is the 4l60e such a P.O.S.?!

    Where exactly is that transmission shop in the Valley? That sounds like a pretty good deal, and what warranties do they offer?
