    Chevrolet Suburban 3500 Questions

    Your advise MAY be valid and I will confirm next week when the replacement fronts arrive. The rears were great tho and I cannot believe how much difference they make. Haven’t messed with settings yet, but there is a HUGE difference on setting 1 vs 9 just manually compressing them prior to...

    2007 Suburban 2500 Suspension torque specs?

    Just did rear shocks on my Suburban 3500 last weekend and I was struggling with this topic as well. I settled on 87ft/lb for rear (top and bottom) with 35ft/lb and 57ft/lbs (top and bottom) for front. But in the end with how the suspension is setup I think the “tight enough” is sufficient. The...

    Chevrolet Suburban 3500 Questions

    One would think… but if I get a second set that do not rebound by themselves I will call Rancho to ensure this is how the product is supposed to be. The fronts are different than the backs in the sense the red boot is molded onto the fronts vs the buyer has to install the rear boot. So maybe...

    Chevrolet Suburban 3500 Questions

    It rides so much better now and a lot more planted. Crazy how much a difference they make. I went with the RS 9000XL. I was pretty shocked that both fronts would not rebound/extend at all. Wonder if both were old stock or something to that effect?

    Worthwhile dealer add-ons?

    If you are purchasing from this dealer, be careful of the finance options too. If you are financing make sure you get a preapproval so you have a fair and non-jacked up rate and then with the products they sell… be careful. Gap insurance is kinda useful but shouldn’t be more than about $700...

    Worthwhile dealer add-ons?

    These are hilarious actually. I remember when nitrogen used to be a $50 add. $200 is getting insane considering I air down often… I think most places charge about $50/window. So $100 for the front maybe is what I would have assumed is reasonable.

    Chevrolet Suburban 3500 Questions

    Parts fairy came the other day (love the FedEx guy) and new shocks were delivered. Rears were an absolute BREEZE, both sides done within an hr. I did cheat a bit and have been hitting the bolts with PB Blaster a couple times last week so everything came apart super easily. Front new shocks had...

    2015 Suburban LTZ 1st Off Road Report

    Lifts are really only “needed” when you are needing more articulation. I’m not going to sit here and tell you I’m a god of the offroad scene (lol) but tread carefully (pun intended) running on 20s. I have 18s on my truck from the factory that give some nice side wall but really those are too big...

    Running Dual Foglights

    This is super interesting. Not sure this is right on what I’m looking at but I think it supports that I can run two fog lights off the factory wiring… will keep this updated as Morimoto lights are egregiously expensive and I think we all wouldn’t mind an affordable secondary option.

    New to 4WD, any info and advice appreciated

    My truck staying 2wd unless, as others have said, it’s crazy weather then switch to Auto for a level of comfort. I do recommend going into 4low every so often just to keep things working properly. Just make SURE it’s in the grass or just roll the truck forward/backwards keeping the wheel...

    Running Dual Foglights

    Has anyone used these Amazon dual pigtail and then connected a Rigid light to it? I have a set of Rigid fog lights that I am planning to mount behind the grill and wire to the fog lights and switch. Anyone know if the draw is too much or if I would have any issues? From what I see there...

    Chevrolet Suburban 3500 Questions

    Those will look great! I will be the first to tell you tho please be careful when towing in those tires. I have a small fleet of vehicles and most sit in climate controlled garage but a few yrs back one of them was needing some love and I put a fresh set of tires on it (I think they were about...

    Rear Shock Options

    Someone else could chime in that knows more than me but I’m 99.99% sure the AC Delco is a GM part or a GM part is an AC Delco… should be same thing. Idk about Arnorttp

    Chevrolet Suburban 3500 Questions

    This is super helpful! I’m beginning to think, like Geo, that a reprogram is in my future. Hopefully he can go first and figure out what he likes or thinks towing with this truck needs. I’m about a yr or so out from my big boy toys… depends on markets tho… stocks go up and prices come down, does...

    Rear Shock Options

    I wonder if you show the pricing on RockAuto if dealer will match pricing? Worth a shot or if you are comfortable with doing it yourself, will the warranty company buy/reimburse you for the parts?

    Chevrolet Suburban 3500 Questions

    Lucky for me, my aunties didn’t buy the truck and it wasn’t for their comfort! Hahaha @Geotrash - add Blackbear to my list of wants/needs. When my wife asks I will blame @Marky Dissod ….

    Thanks Marky! This is super helpful and detailed. Probably will add this to my growing list. Why is this called a Yukon/Tahoe forum… it’s really a forum to open up our wallets…

    Rear Shock Options

    Yes, they have a TON of options and if you search on the forum here ppl post their discount codes. I’m currently buying new shocks for my truck from them and they are dirty cheap vs anyone else even with shipping.

    Chevrolet Suburban 3500 Questions

    The L8T upgrade is a pipedream wish list. Right now the big items for upgrades are the shocks which I will order on Friday of this week, tow mirrors, and I also want new wheels. I love the BFG KO3s I put on when I bought the truck, and as much as I love the overall look of the suburban, my truck...

    Chevrolet Suburban 3500 Questions

    With how these trucks are built, unless something else comes up in 10yrs that can match this truck I will probably start the mega upgrades. Not sure you saw the thread on here where someone dropped a new L8T into these trucks with a 6L90. We already have the 6L90 sooo would be pretty easy and a...

    Chevrolet Suburban 3500 Questions

    Thanks for the tow review! Glad to know it can tow more than 3k lbs lol. I cannot believe you found a truck with such low mileage. Absolutely insane, but the issue sounds like most cars that sit for long periods of time.

    09 escalade hybrid trans question

    This is a major bummer! We all make mistakes tho… please keep us posted if everything gets sorted when you complete the oil change and add back trans fluid.

    Chevrolet Suburban 3500 Questions

    CAFE regulations really hindered the reliability aspect and on big vehicles did not increase fuel economy very much. I will argue for and against the hybrid piece. Toyota and their Sequoia/Tundra hybrid is an example of hybrid for power sake. I would guess with some tuning it could have done...
