2004 6.0 NV4500 Tahoe

[Rocket Man]

I've installed a lot of coilovers throughout the years and these Vikings exceed my expectations.

Nice!

Looks like quality. Those springs painted or polished?

That’s powder coat if I’ve ever seen it.

Oil temp should have still been pretty low, how did it go?

I know, but I really wanna test it at 32° or colder for a worst case scenario. High 20s would be even better, but I can't get up that early. lol

It sitting is part of the equation, and I'm at least a week at this point. I know it was 12/29 last I drove it. Not sure if I did after that.

Thanks! Yeah I'm fairly certain its powder and a great choice at that. I'm not a big fan of red springs and was really afraid they would send purple springs since I didn't specify.

Set an alarm at 4am for science! It sitting that long is much longer than mine ever gets to sit. Even if I drive the toyota all week I end up having to move the Tahoe for some reason.

I did have a few more cold morning starts with no issues. I wonder how much 1qt of Lucas oil stabilizer effects viscosity of 15w40.

Had right at $920 all in so yeah double. Also I drove it for probably 3 tanks of gas here and there so that saved me some gas money lol.

Fosho!

Nope she gone. Its likely that was the most miserable car I've ever owned. I hit my head everytime I got in, no front cup holders, no power, fishbowl windows so everyone knows your miserable, and worst of all it smelled like mold if you turned the blower on.
