    Completed my first transmission rebuild.

    Just an update. Transmission still running strong. No other issues to report.

    Well it's time for me to give this a whirl....

    As to how to Tahoe drives? Pretty good really. I don't have that harsh feel I always had when cranked the daylights out of my torsion keys to level it with the back. I absorb bumps a bit better, but where I really notice it is during turns or passing in the highway. I really can't explain it...

    Well it's time for me to give this a whirl....

    Okay as always (as it seems to be a habit of mines beyond my control) I apologize for dropping out for a while. Probably like a most of you, free time is something I don't have much of. I was able to get this installed about a month ago. I will not say that the install was straight forward but...

    Will be doing the '19-'21 Big brake upgrade on my '00 Tahoe.

    Very good question. I guess I would have to eat the loss. just the brakes alone I am about $200.00 in for the set. I'm not saying $200 is nothing to sneeze at but it could be worse. for the results (at least for me) it's worth it.

    If I can free myself of time I will give this a go. I will do my best to keep everyone posted on this torsion bar to coil over conversion...

    Anyone with a Champion radiator and using Dexcool?

    Just updating folks. So far no issues (as I figured...or hoped ;)). All is well and I figured as long as maintain normal coolant changes I should be fine.

    Will be doing the '19-'21 Big brake upgrade on my '00 Tahoe.

    Just a quick update. Brakes are still great...however I just found out that my master cylinder is leaking from around the edges (because I'm lucky that way) fortunately It's no big drama to replace other than fluids and bleeding. Will get around to that very soon. Will I still do Hydro-boost...

    Completed my first transmission rebuild.

    Sorry for the late update everyone. Crazy busy at work, rebuilt my computer and had a fun bout with Kidney stones (ouch!) Anyway. Transmission is doing fine! closing in on 3k miles (should have been there a while ago but with gas prices I have been alternating between the Tahoe and my little...

    Anyone with a Champion radiator and using Dexcool?

    Ok, I got the radiator installed on Monday evening (in between badly timed calls from work). One thing I can confirm from one of the reviewers on Jegs who purchased this rad is that you do have to trim your radiator (if you have factory electric) to get it to fit on the new rad. Since I swapped...

    Anyone with a Champion radiator and using Dexcool?

    I was checking out some other forums about this and it seems there are some who are running DEXCOOL with their aluminum rads. It seems the consensus was as long as you maintain your coolant change you should be fine. I think I will take one for the team here and be the guinea pig.

    Anyone with a Champion radiator and using Dexcool?

    Yeah, pretty bummed about it. Now I need to contact JEGS about this. I don't mind sending it back, but I will be pissed if they try to make me pay for return shipping or a restock fee...

    Anyone with a Champion radiator and using Dexcool?

    I ordered a 3 row aluminum radiator from Champion radiators. To my surprise after getting the rad yesterday, outside on the box it says to only use "Ethyl glycol "The green stuff" in regards to coolant choice. Well I use use Dexcool (with no issues). I contacted Champion about this and just got...

    Will be doing the '19-'21 Big brake upgrade on my '00 Tahoe.

    I swear these things are turning into one heck of a hunt. I don't get why GM got away from these? I went to see what type they are using now and the new calipers are smaller two piston. Maybe it's a money saving thing for the company?

    Will be doing the '19-'21 Big brake upgrade on my '00 Tahoe.

    No problem! I wish I knew about this sooner. I love my ride but I always feared a panic stop as I knew braking was less then ideal. I will be replacing the rears this weekend as they are still factory. I will be replacing them with OEM factory, I just want the old ones gone.

    Will be doing the '19-'21 Big brake upgrade on my '00 Tahoe.

    Ok I finally got done with the swap. Took forever as my Rotors I ordered from RockAuto got delayed in Illinois for close to five days for some reason. Anyway here are the picks. I will start by answering some questions I hope you may have for me. The swap out was almost straight forward, However...

    Sorry I meant to say Hydroboost conversion. I made the correction!

    Will be doing the '19-'21 Big brake upgrade on my '00 Tahoe.

    Hello all. Just got my Brake caliper and pads for the big brake upgrade. Hopefully this coming weekend I can get started on it (still waiting on rotors). Never knew how hard it was to get my hands on these. Everywhere was sold out or labeled "discontinued?". I got lucky and was able to score a...

    Completed my first transmission rebuild.

    Yup, new bushings and hard parts were installed, I will be ordering an aftermarket pan soon, with some luck I will be in the clear next time I check my fluids. Thanks!

    Completed my first transmission rebuild.

    Evening all! once again I apologize for the late reply. Just giving an update. I have clocked 1,111 miles on the new transmission. This evening I drained the pan to see what is going on and how things were looking. I am uploading 3 photos. 1. The transmission pan with just the fluid dumped but...
