    Looking for a High Quality Sunshade

    Anyone daily drive 26's?

    I recently bought 22"s and they ride well, as well as the factory 20"s. But for the look, wish I'd bought 24"s. Then again, 24"s don't look right to me without a drop.

    Best octane fuel for fuel eceonomy? (5.3L only)

    Well the results are in. 13.3mpg with 87-octane 14.0mpg with 93-octane It gave me about an extra 15 miles per tank, which isn't enough to convince me its worth it (that small amount could be statistical error). I did think the trunk ran smoother on 93-octane, but that could've been in my...

    Looking for Suspension Advice

    If you're aftermarket, poor-quality suspension components have seen an additional 108k miles I'd bet they are toast as well. If I was you I'd replace upper and lower control arms and outer tie-rod ends, all with MOOG or AC Delco Professional (or OEM) parts.

    Side Letters Removed

    Ugh the stupid side moldings. I like the look of them, they break up the flatness of the door so they help hide small dents. But mine are pulling off and starting to look ratty. I don't think they'll stay down if I just retape them.

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

    I did the same thing. Bought my bolts on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Non-OEM-Substitute-for-GM-11518341-Bolt-Qty-4-Free-Shipping/143650157085?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649

    Useless Information

    It’s definitely unusually that the rears brakes wear so much faster than the fronts. I wonder if anyone has changed the bias to a more conventional 70:30 and seen any improvement in braking?

    I upgraded my arms to the 09-14 style and am glad I did. Easy to get new blades now.

    4WD Suspension upgrades

    In my opinion, unless you have a ball joint press at home, it's more efficient to replace the whole arms. At 150k miles my ball joints AND the arm bushings were toast -- again reinforcing that replacing the whole arm makes more sense. The MOOG arms are pretty cheap and great quality too.

    Lifter tick when cold? Berryman B12?

    If the bolts are broken below the manifold (which the usually are), you don't have to touch them. If they are sticking out a big past the manifold, you have to knock then down with a Dremel or grinder.

    Thoughts on changing transmission fluid

    Wow that's amazing. I'm getting up to 205F without any load!!

    Lots of fixes done but have question on tire pres sensors

    I highly recommend Titan TPMS. They are affordable, work well, and their customer service is awesome.

    Woman took my car... civil issue... trying to get it back

    Treat every phone call like she’s recording them and will play them in court. She probably is. You should do the same.

    Thoughts on changing transmission fluid

    That's all you got out?? It's gonna take a long time to refresh all that fluid then...

    I need this too. My driver’s door can sound nasty if I don’t lube it every few months. But I heard replacing them involves taking the whole door off? Seems like too much work for me!

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

    Sorry for that, the trans temp is getting up to 205. Haven't seen it go over that, but from all the reading I've gone on various forums most people stay under 200 when unloaded.

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

    It's hot here in Maryland, right around 100F. While driving for 30+ minutes, with NO load, I'm reaching trans temps of 205F. Is it time for a transmission cooler? The transmission shifts great and I had it flushed / filter changed recently.

    I believe you can only pick two of those as well... but there is a small area in the middle of that picture that would include all 3! The sweet spot!

    Post the Vehicle You Just Can't Quit Looking at

    I’ve looked through all the renderings of custom ‘21 Tahoes here. Lifted, big rims, tires, fenders. It’s just putting lipstick on a pig. The front end is ugly as hell no matter what you do with the rest. Someone here said the rear is very “generic” — couldn’t have said it better. It looks...

    Lifter tick when cold? Berryman B12?

    Wanted to update this thread and provide some closure. I bought one of those clamps and put it on the front area of the manifold (where one of the broken bolts was, and where I felt the noise was coming from). The ticking was immediately gone on cold start - I've now verified it 5 times. I was...

    Key and key fob

    I bought the keys and fobs on ebay. <$10 for both. Had Home Depot cut the keys for $4. Programmed them myself, and for <$14 I have two spare keys and fobs.

    Lifter tick when cold? Berryman B12?

    Well sometimes when I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I'm still not sure where it's coming from, but I definitely have a broken bolt on either end. Is there any downside to just leaving them broken? I can deal with the ticking noise as long as my engine isn't going to grenade.

    Lifter tick when cold? Berryman B12?

    So I listened very carefully, and I am 99% sure it's the lifters and not the exhaust manifold. The tick is pretty apparent until the truck warms up, at which point it dissapears. By "warms up" I mean at least a few minutes driving. Am I doing a lot of damage by driving it like this?
