03 Tahoe Z71 runs great, bad gas mileage.
As a newer owner of a 05 Tahoe, this was a good read. One suggestion I'd make is something I learned long ago, dont be afraid of being aggressive with RPM. I drove an 5.0 Explorer for awhile and found that it got better mileage operating above 22-2500 rpm. When I putted around, thinking I...- Pwrshft99

2005 Tahoe LT Part interchange/compatibility list for ugrades??
That's a good list thank you!! Mostly my truck is just a daily driver but in 3-5 years I'd like to make more of a tow rig/toy. I figure any part failures along the way would be a chance to upgrade. I am also in need of one tail light, wondering if Escalade ones would fit as they look much...- Pwrshft99

2005 Tahoe LT Part interchange/compatibility list for ugrades??
I have heard of this issue but not sure if it has happened to mine yet. Havent even been able to get under it yet. Plan to swap all the fluids at the end of the month when I can steal some garage time at my parents house so I can look it over then.- Pwrshft99

2005 Tahoe LT Part interchange/compatibility list for ugrades??
Stupid title but couldn't think of a different way to word it. I have a new to me 2005 Tahoe LT. It has around 140k miles and as spring comes I will finally have a chance to do some regular maintenance to my truck. I am aware that the Tahoe shares a platform with other vehicles like the...- Pwrshft99

New guy with new Tahoe and lots to learn
I appreciate the advice and have seen many comments on the site praising BlackBearPerf. However, I'm still leaning towards HP Tuners. Eventually, I will be attempting an LS swap, either in my Ranger or a yet to be purchased Mustang. It will use a power adder of some type. My line of...- Pwrshft99

Is the Denali Hands Down the Best Tow Vehicle?
Just my opinion but get the best of both worlds by swapping your high mileage 5.3 for a 6.0!! I've only had my Tahoe a week but that's my long term goal.- Pwrshft99

Thanks!! A Pep Boys coupon came in the mail today so I got a K&N replacement filter, I'll leave the rest of the intake alone for now. I come from the Ford world and have had quite a few modified Mustangs over the years. I still have a 2.3 turbo swapped Ranger I drive in the summer time. Not...- Pwrshft99

Anxious to open it up but going to be patient. Would really like a turbo setup at some point in time. YouTube makes it look sooo easy lol- Pwrshft99

Thanks!! The liftgate was replaced with one that was a different color and the respray is poor quality. Had I seen it in daylight , i would have negotiated more. Oh well , if it bothers me enough there is 1/2 off at my local junkyard on holidays lol- Pwrshft99

New guy with new Tahoe and lots to learn
Recently purchased an 05 Tahoe LT and reasonably happy with it in the first week of ownership. It has 138k and was the nicest running/driving of all the Tahoes I drove in my price range. Mechanically its solid but due to looking at it at night, I missed some half assed repair of body damage...- Pwrshft99
