    A brake job rabbit hole

    That’s a deep dive. Those tid bits of information were like watching an episode of How it’s Made. Don’t forget you’ve got model matching parts from the same model year 2500 Silverado & Sierra pick ups

    2008 Tahoe LT VCIM Swap

    Hell yes, that’ll help owners without Navi set ups adding BT VCIM to the trucks. Your hands probably look like you fed em to a chihuahua for a manicure. GM left a lot of raw cut edges inside the dash. Nice work on disassembling the puzzle.

    2008 Tahoe LT VCIM Swap

    Whoa, a 2010 VCIM with the 3rd post for the clip on BT antenna. Those are not common. Yup, that’s a direct swap for the one in your truck. Here’s the how to for accessing the VCIM. I haven’t been inside the dash of a truck with just a radio yet. It’s easiest if you can get the entire front...

    Private Sell vs Dealership Trade-In

    Autotrader private seller. Used them prior to being called TRED. It sells your vehicle nationwide, does the dmv, title, brokers payment to you, offers financing & extended warranty. Nicest thing is that their portal allows you to screen all the bs’rs out. Since the payment is brokered it...

    Aluminum / XFE NNBS Front Suspension Rebuild

    Thanks for the solid. I’ll have the Indi cram some grease in em before they go in. In my apprenticeship we were taught to assume no bearing ever comes greased. The maint logs in machine rooms were your judge & jury.

    Are the Dual Piston Rear Calipers noticeably better?

    Oh yea, if your calipers are sticking replace the brake lines with stainless braided as previously mentioned. Just before they burst they collapse on themselves and hold enough pressure to allow the pads to drag.

    LEATHER SEATCOVER SWAP

    Gotcha, make sure you order the foam specifically for the vented seats and DO NOT throw away the old foams. You’ll need to swap the ventilation channels inside the old foam to the new. It’s a part you can not buy.

    Are the Dual Piston Rear Calipers noticeably better?

    At least you’ve got the option with the 18’s to add C7 non-Z51 Calipers (Part Numbers) with adapters. You’d also still be able to install x drilled & slotted OE rotors with the C7 kit.

    Are the Dual Piston Rear Calipers noticeably better?

    Well that’s not what I expected. 20” min for the front brakes. Here’s the rims the Popo use for those. https://www.hubcaphaven.com/p/28164/2021-chevrolet-tahoe-police-wheel-steel-black-84947815.html I wonder if the four pot brembo will fit under the rear 18”?

    Aluminum / XFE NNBS Front Suspension Rebuild

    Alright, finally. Got some traction on getting the Esky into the Indi shop to get this job done. The wife’s 07 Beetle Vert had it first major expense since 2014. It got a new OEM a/c comp, a sprinkle of 134 Freon & filter dryer, generic d/s axle, new SAI pipe for smog, coolant reservoir...

    What is the name of this joint and where can I get one?

    Once you’re able to see and smell out all of the counterfeit junk on eBay & Amazon you can really score some good deals. I feel blessed to live in a day and age where Amazon will next day or 2day you parts for free at 50-75% less than the local store selling junk or the dealer who’s there to...

    Driver side heated seat not working

    Resistance should be similar but not that far off. It’s more than likely a heated mat with a broken contact. If it’s the p/s seat the cushion is probably in good shape. If it’s the d/s look into replacing the bottom cushion foam while the upholstery is off. You’ll need to get a diagnosis and...

    L92 engine block with hole

    07 & 08 are L92. 09 is L9H. None have AFM/DOD. In 09 GM changed the fueling system and injection system to accommodate the (09-14 specific) larger injectors for flex fuel. The 07 & 08 Yukon Denali, Sierra Denali and Escalade all run the exact motor you need. ****** that 08 Escalade motor. The...

    How to inspect a used engine?

    Purchase a used engine that comes with a warranty. It’s there to ensure you don’t buy someone’s motor with 90 weight oil inside to trade it in for a Cadillac. Keep in mind if you buy it online with a warranty and it’s a dud, they pay for shipping out a new one to your door. It’s no fun hauling...

    Are the Dual Piston Rear Calipers noticeably better?

    Upgrading the brakes up front will help. The rears are already larger than the front. The front are under-braked. If not done already install braided steel brake lines and upgrade the front to the PPV / Brembo 6 piston calipers and 16” rotors. The ABS will recognize the larger brakes and...
