    I'm about to buy gears, need advise

    I wish. I'll be doing my gears, then probably a cam and valvetrain upgrade. I can't go too crazy spending money on it. But I do admire those trucks that are all out. When and where? Can you just go as a spectator? My favorite thing about your truck is that you built it yourself. Nothing...

    I'm about to buy gears, need advise

    Yeah, I just ordered 4.30s. My stock tires are 29.08 (in the computer). I'll probably go with some 31's or so. I don't know yet. I want to put Cop Tahoe wheels and tires on if I can find some. JK, I want to see your truck sometime. I was out of town for work this week. My wifey took the...

    I'm about to buy gears, need advise

    No doubt. There is a seller on ebay that sells complete front and rear kits with gears and master install kits for under or right around $500. I can install them myself. I'll email them and see if they'll put together a kit with 4.30's. Good call.

    I'm about to buy gears, need advise

    I have a 2006 Tahoe 4wd. It has a 3.42 gear ratio which is way too high. I want to buy gears now, I'm pretty excited about it. I know 4.10 would be good, but would 4.56 be way too low on stock tires? I think they might be all right. I need to be able to cruise 70 mph for long periods but I want...

    Vin Z and L59 RPO code

    Mine is an 06 Tahoe. It also has the Z in the VIN. Nowhere on it does it suggest that its flex fuel but I can look at the parameters in the PCM and it does adjust certain parameters for the amount of alcohol in the fuel.

    2003 tahoe service engine soon light

    I doubt its the plugs unless you're getting a misfire code. The throttle not responding well could be from any sensor going bad. You have to get the code pulled. Autozone should be able to pull the code with the engine running. Where are you? If you happened to be around Austin I'd come pull the...

    Stereo/AC unit problems

    This morning I got in my truck and started it up and realized the stereo and ac unit displays weren't working. The units themselves were working, just not the displays. Is there a separate fuse for the displays or something?

    Tuning my truck

    Thats not too far away. I go to Rockport to go fishing sometimes, I go right through Victoria. Any idea how much the Dyno time runs?

    Tuning my truck

    I got HP Tuners and I've been learning and tuning on my truck like crazy. It's running like a bat out of hell now with only my tune and an AIRAID intake tube. I'm ready to be done tuning it but to polish it up I need a nice long straight road without any cops. I guess I really need a load...

    Exhaust set up.

    Probably. And I'm in Austin. How Cheap are we talking? Is the exhaust pipe aftermarket or are you just talking about a stock pipe with muffler and tip? Need more info but definitely interested.

    Wrong DJM Parts

    Something like that may have worked, but there would be some tight clearances in there. Anyway, its only a 3" drop so I don't really need to move the sway bar over. I just cut an inch out of the middle of the stock links and welded them back together to get a better sway bar angle.

    Wrong DJM Parts

    Huh. I tried all that. Either the bracket was hitting the shock or the sway bar was hitting the panhard bar. Either way, taking an inch out of the stockers seems to work fine plus my sway bar is still centered. I used the tracking bar brackets but I'll be trying to sell the sway bar links. It...

    Wrong DJM Parts

    I bought the DJM "Rear Kit" off ebay for my 06. I had recently put 3" drop springs on the back and wanted to correct the geometry of the suspension. The sway bar links don't match the ones in the instructions and they don't work. Appearantly they are supposed to reposition the sway bar a...

    my rear window lock broke

    I took it apart and watched it over and over to see if its just getting jammed up somewhere. That seems to be a common problem with these. However, mine seems mechanically fine. It just seems like the motor isn't strong enough. I've been searching hard to find a replacement. I don't want to...

    my rear window lock broke

    Most definitely! I took the panel off the rear hatch and I can see how everything works but its not like anything is getting hung up. It just seems like the acuator motor isn't strong enough or it isn't engaging every time. Oh well. I guess I'll be buying some parts. Anyway, do post some pics...

    my rear window lock broke

    Thanks man! I'll try that today. By the way, nice ride. I'm around New Orleans about once a quarter. I'll be keeping an eye out for your truck.

    my rear window lock broke

    When I unlock the truck, the button for the rear window doesn't unlock. If I do it enough times to get it to unlock then it won't lock. Has anyone ever had that happen or know anything about it?

    Roof rack screw size

    Anyone know off hand what the size of the screws for the roof rails are? I lost mine and I want to put the rails back on. I'll get stainless screws to replace the originals and probably allen heads instead of torx.

    You know what burns me?

    Thats cool. I would like to do that but it will probably never happen. I was just looking at a Hoe on my way to work and I noticed how tall the cross rails are on the roof rack. I think I'll put my rails back with stainless hardware but not the cross rails and it will look better.

    You know what burns me?

    What burns me is the fact that Chevy had to put all those stupid little hardware pieces and holes in the roofs of these trucks for the roof rack and XM antenna. I don't even want any of that stuff but I don't have money for bodywork to clean it up. So far that's my biggest complaint with my truck.

    Might be getting rid of the hoops

    I think it looks good either way.
