    Will Z71 avalanche rear fender flares fit on a Tahoe?

    Does anyone know if the rear flares on a 2011 avalanche would fit on a 2011 Tahoe? Obviously you would need to cut them to fit the Tahoe since there is a piece on the door and the bumper is separate, but could they fit otherwise? They look to follow the same body lines and I think they look very...

    2022 Tahoe Z71 engine temperature

    What should the typical engine temperature reading on the OBD be for a 2022 Tahoe Z71 with the 5.3 engine? The dashboard temperature gauge is slightly better than useless compared to the gauge on my 2004 Tahoe. I think my engine might be running a little cooler than it should be. My mileage...

    Confused about Z71 OEM ft. struts

    Allegedly my 2013 Z71 4x4 Tahoe has Rancho shocks and different springs in the ft. struts, but I can't find anything about replacement strut assemblies specific to the Z71. GM OEM lookup only shows individual parts. Depending on the source used, the shock for RPO 6TJ/7TJ is either...

    GM mud flaps 2022 Z71 compatibility?

    I'm about to put some mudflaps on my Z71 Tahoe but the front GM mudflaps say they don't fit per the GM parts site. The dealership's parts department didn't know what was up with that either. Has anyone here installed the front GM mudflaps on a '21+ Z71 Tahoe? Why wouldn't they fit? I'm assuming...

Currently I have a 2" level with the factory 18" z71 wheels with BFG 33" tires. My goal is to be able to...

    Bought a used 2016 Z71 - tires & level?

    So, I just bought a used 2016 Z71 and I am not a fan of the 20" wheels/tires that are on it and I'm coming to y'all for advice. How do I know if it's been leveled? It seems to have OEM suspension, but I guess after 105k miles it would be hard to tell. I've measured the wheel well heights and...
