    Upper Rear Control Arm/Track Arm

    Ok, well here is the feedback after installing the new "straight" upper track bars. The clunk has gone away, and the ride has improved even further. What did I learn? Well I learned that I can use either the dog legged track bar, or the tubular "straight" track bar. Upon inspection the ends of...

    Upper Rear Control Arm/Track Arm

    I purchased the truck with the clunk already installed, lol. It had 75k on it and replaced the panhard bar with no relief. Now I am getting around to replacing the entire suspension and bushings, control arms, etc. Everything is brand new under there at 147k miles. The last thing to do is these...

    Fog Lights w/Parking Lights

    Has anyone used the jumper to jumper the fog lights with the parking lights? I generally run with the fogs on (I like the light output), and was thinking of this. It would be nice to not have to activate the fog lights independently.

    Upper Rear Control Arm/Track Arm

    Yes, my uppers are straight as the one on the right of the pictures I attached. I climbed under the truck last night and verified, and was told by the dealer that some trucks came with straight, and some dog legged. There is a design one, and design two. Not sure which one is which. I ended up...

    WOW, tune done now it feels GREAT!!!

    So I popped and ordered the Diablo i3 Platinum tuner. My expectations were low, but had someone at work talk me into it. I have to say, I'm impressed! I performed the "Diablo Tune" to the ECM and "Firm Shift" to the TCM. In addition, I deactivated the DOD/AFM. The truck (closest thing I have to...

    KYB, I'm a fan now!

    I just changed out my struts and shocks with KYB's Gas-A-Just line. The front came complete with springs, and fully assembled. I have to say I was trying to decided between Bilstein and KYB. It was a tough decision, but I feel good about it. The truck feels like new, and a real pleasure to drive...

    Front end. Need to rebuild the front end.

    I rebuilt mine last weekend.. I used MOOG (CK level parts with problem solver components). Replaced: Upper and lower control arms (do yourself a favor, purchase new bolts from GM that mount the arms to the frame. This was a life saver!) Inner and outer tie rods Sway bar links and bar bushings...

    Front Diff. Issues

    2011 Tahoe LT, 4WD... The 4wd works as it should however, when I turn left or right it feels like it is binding up. Has anyone experienced this before? It also makes a humming noise when driving at speed in 4 wheel. The fluid is full and it does not make this noise in 2wd. The second issue is...

    Upper Rear Control Arm/Track Arm

    I am beyond annoyed at this point. 2011 Tahoe, LT, 4WD with stock suspension components. I am replacing the upper control arms/track arms (whatever you choose to call them). The issue I am having is there are apparently 2 different iterations of them. One that is straight, and one that is dog...

    KYB Gas a Just vs Bilstein B 4600 Rear Shocks?

    I know this is an old thread, but wanted to say the KYB's feel like a new truck again.

    SHAME ON GENERAL MOTORS

    You know, I just need a soap box right now. GM knows they have an issue with the 5.3 when it comes to oil consumption. Mine is a 2011 and soaks up a quart every 3,000-5,000 or so. During every oil change I clean the throttle body that will never rust due to the oil slick going on in there. Then...

    '11 Tahoe Transmission Fluid....Change?

    I seem to be addicted to posting as of late. Okay so I have a 2011 Tahoe, 4x4, with 105,000. I am not sure it has every had the trans serviced. I bought it at 65,000 miles. I would like to do a filter and fluid change. Would it be wise to do so? I have no slippage, nor any other trans related...

    Clearing off the shelf! We are selling these new or very briefly used items at a discount.

    Does the 63-3082 fit the 2011 Tahoe 5.3 Flex? Price?

    Reset Fuel Trims ??

    That is disheartening! E85 here is right at $2 a gal. I did use 87 octane mainly because everything else is an entire $1 more per gallon. Why do they not compensate for this? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Reset Fuel Trims ??

    When I ran regular gas my Tahoe was very sluggish off the line. Almost hesitant would be more like it. I called GM customer support and spoke with a pretty smart fella who pointed me in the way of E85. He said that the only difference in the 5.3 Flex and the 5.3 regular gas engine is the...

    Reset Fuel Trims ??

    I rather like the taste of E85. The truck is peppy and very responsive when using it. It does offer a bit of extra power by design and is noticeable.

    I run both E85 and regular and have had no issues.

    2007 Tahoe Transmission Issue

    When you say they did a filter and fluid change, did you verify this? Many dealers call it a transmission service, but it is really a flush. I have found in my dealings with GM dealers is they will do everything they can to not crack open the trans. They are now even going to the extreme of...
