    Tahoe won't coast

    Hey guys. My 99 OBS Tahoe is running rich, I think. The exhaust smells like it, and the MPG is terrible. Also, it feels like it's stuck in a lower gear; it won't coast. What could this be? How do I reset the fuel trim levels/ computer without a scan tool?

    TYC Headlights and DDM Tuning HIDs

    I've got a 99 OBS Tahoe. I was looking at the DDM 35w 5000k for my low and 55w 5000k for the highs. Anyone got pics of a obs tahoe with the ddm hids. And what was the install like? Finally, do you like ddm or would you have gone with another brand?

    Paint Cancer

    Ya 5k does seem a little nuts. I was thinking about 2-3k. The shop did guarantee it for life though. Also just found out that I need a new A/C compressor/orifice tube... $1000.

    Paint Cancer

    I've got the paint cancer on my 99 tahoe. It's peeling pretty bad on the roof, and channels on the hood. Went to a shop today and was quoted $5,000 to repaint the whole truck, or $1,600 to just do the roof and hood. I really don't want to spend that kind of money on a truck that's only worth...

    Pulstar Plugs?

    I know you're supposed to do them all when you do plugs, but i'm just wondering because the original plugs,wires, cap, rotor lasted 100k... I'm just changing the plugs because I recently did the seafoam treatment. So if the originals lasted 100k, then why replace at 130k? But I probably will...

    Headlights

    I'm looking to replace my factory headlights on my 1999 Tahoe. They're worn out, and yellowed. Looking around on the forums, I've seen many use the TYC's. I'm not really sure if I want a clear lens, but maybe. Any other options? Pictures would be nice too. Also, TYC's seem to be made in Japan.

    Upgrading alternator

    So... I've been looking at some GoodYear GatorBack belts. I have AC, and I believe the stock alternator on my 99 Tahoe is 105amp. If I upgrade to a more powerful alternator, such as the 140amp delco, would I need a different belt? How do I know which one to get?
