    Hello from Chattanooga

    Well it's been a few years since I've had the Tahoe. Ended up getting rid of it at the end of 2018. But I did do some mods to it since the last post I made so I figured I'd share the progress till I got rid of it to finish out the story of it. Around 2017 I built a different bumper that...

    Hello from Chattanooga

    Spring of 2016 finally came around and that means car show season and the first one I was actually going to take my Tahoe to with my newly finished ruckus. The night before the show is always hectic and I finally got everything loaded up. This was the first year of the Riverside Meet in...

    Hello from Chattanooga

    Just found this forum a month or two ago and have been lurking so figured I'd post a history of the progress of my truck since I bought it almost 5 years ago. Bought it in November of 2013 after driving a manual 4x4 nissan frontier for a couple years. It's a 2010 LT 4x4 with the 3.08...

    Water in the door? !

    I've had this happen to both of my back doors before. Neither at the same time and they were both probably a year apart. The only things I could think of happening are getting something stuck in the rubber seal or if you have in channel window rain guards that kept the window pushed in a little...

    My larger tires were rubbing on my windshield fluid tank.

    So i custom made one out of aluminum and located it where the second battery would go. It holds right at 6 liters of fluid. I wish I had made it a tad smaller but I'm happy with it. I'll take a picture of it actually installed tomorrow.

    Fuel tank in place where the spare tire is located.

    So I was thinking about this some more and said fuck it and went and took some measure ments. So between the frame rails is just over 36". From the rear bumper to the next cross brace going forward that has body mounts on it that I wouldn't want to spend the time modifying is a little over...

    Auxiliary back up lights for hooking up trailers at night.

    Also I cut out some thin metal back plates (like the ones here) so the screws which are super tiny have something to hold onto when they go through the plastic of the bumper. I did it without taking the bumper off but it was the absolute biggest pain in the ass even with someone holding out on...

    Auxiliary back up lights for hooking up trailers at night.

    I found a crap picture of the diagram so sorry for my terrible handwriting. I got the reverse light power from the 7pin plug on the truck and there is constant power wire that might not be hooked up from the factory that goes to the trailer plug as well. You just have to hook it up in the...

    Fuel tank in place where the spare tire is located.

    Nice s10 project! I'm actually currently building a square body but using all s13 suspension. And I'm putting the gas tank right where the body and bed meet. And on the tank for the tahoe I'm definitely sure I'll have to loose a little bit of fuel capacity.

    Fuel tank in place where the spare tire is located.

    Yeah, sorry for not being more specific. All the hardware for the spare tire has been removed since I can't fit a 35x12.50 back there. Only thing that gets used back there now is I have 2 mounts for my drop hitch that has 2 bars that attach to them to stiffen up the hitch since I have such a...

    Auxiliary back up lights for hooking up trailers at night.

    These were all the parts I used which I got straight from Amazon. Other than the wire and connectors which I always have on handy since I'm an electrician. I'll see if I can find the little diagram I made for how I wired it. The most confusing part was programming the electronic timer. But if...

    Fuel tank in place where the spare tire is located.

    Has anyone replaced the factory fuel tank that is next to the driver side frame rail with a similar sized one in place of where the spare tire is located? I've been toying with the idea of long traveling the rearend but the factory gas tank is in the way for the to triangulate the upper arm to...

    Auxiliary back up lights for hooking up trailers at night.

    It's attached to the right side bottom of the receiver hitch. There is just enough room to put your finger in and push it and I wanted to keep it kinda hidden. Thanks, its a funny story actually. My neighbor has a fence next to my driveway and I wasn't paying attention so I backed into it and...

    Auxiliary back up lights for hooking up trailers at night.

    Thank you sir. I specifically kept the button as far away from where I could reach it while I was driving so I wouldn't be tempted to bright light tailgaters. Lol

    Auxiliary back up lights for hooking up trailers at night.

    I got tired of backing up in the middle of the night with my weak back up lights to either a trailer or just around town. So I found round 7" wide flush mount LED bars that were rounded and I like the way they looked. Mounted on the rear bumper between my back up sensors. First was figuring...

    Heim joint replacements for outer tie rod ends

    So after replacing tie rod ends every year because of my lift and me going off road more than I should on a daily I finally decided to replace the factory outer tie rods with a set of 3/4" heim joints. Bought some left hand thread tie rods and a pipe with an inner diameter of 1/2" and outer...

    Can you install a 2 speed transfer case in to a vehicle with a single speed?

    Ah ok, I'm far from an expert at what parts came in what. I am an expert at breaking rearends and transmissions though. Lol First rearend was installed wrong and cooked the bearings. Second rearend lasted a year until the G80 grenaded and also took out second gear in the transmission. Third...

    Can you install a 2 speed transfer case in to a vehicle with a single speed?

    Yes I had the MP3010 originally and I replaced it with a MP3023. I think I got confused when you asked if gm used something other than the mp2023/2024. From what I've seen, 2010 is when they changed to using magnapower transfer cases which is also when they changed to the 6l80. I thought they...

    Can you install a 2 speed transfer case in to a vehicle with a single speed?

    That's the information I've found. My neighbor has a 2007 avalanche with the 2 speed transfer case and it's nothing like the newer one in my truck.

    Can you install a 2 speed transfer case in to a vehicle with a single speed?

    Hey, just remembered this thread when I was looking up information on doing this swap with my tahoe. 2010 is when GM changed transfer cases in all their 1500 drivetrains since the old case was having too many problems. This was also the year they changed the base model 4x4 to have the single...
