These are some rare headlights, they are the ones with ECE type approval. Impossible to find and supposedly they have a better light output and a sharper beam cutoff. Tahoes built for the Russian market use the same ones.
Nice what part? My family comes from Palmira.
Congrats and welcome! That's real clean for a 2007. Dry country is the way to go. The L92 is legendary - strong, reliable, easy to maintain. For the valve covers, I recommend getting a Dorman updated replacement for the driver's side. It's inexpensive, well made, and fixes the PCV problem that the engines of that time period have that leads to stuck rings. For the pax side, keep the original cover and use an OEM gasket because the Fel-pro is inferior - a rare miss for them.Snuck in here with with a new to me as February 2022, 2007 RWD 150k 2007, has had a ton of work done. Looking to gain as much info as possible through the forums on preventative driveway repairs to get another 5-10 years with this truck. Overpaid a bit for it out of texas but its super clean and rust free.
Needs:
Top of the windshield chips repaired (small little rust chips)
Slight manifold leak - will get Speed Engineering Long Tubes in the spring
Wheels- will get 24's in the spring. Even for a texas truck the wheels are still peeling and one has a slow bead leak.
Front leather seats, both are ripped on the back portion not the lower (or a new leather cover)
Valve cover gasket (leaking but not dripping yet)
Already done:
Rebuilt trans/converter
Rear main seal
Oil pan pickup tube
305/45R22 tires
New Alternator
New front end quick struts im assuming by selling dealership (z55 removed, truck will get belltech struts in the spring for a 2" drop or so, and ill keep the rear air ride)
New tensioner/belt
Fixed coolant lines/t fitting
New endlinks
New brake switch (fixed cruise control)
New Throttle position sensor (limp mode/TPS codes that came intermittently)
Led conversion
Cold air intake
Borla Exhaust with no resonator
All lights converted to LED
12"sub 1000w amp
Future plans:
HP Tune/Longtubes/24's/2-3 drop/cathedral tails
Love the truck so far, done almost every repair with local parts which is what I love. No wait on anything. Dont mind using chevy generic/tahoe parts either as they can be more than 50-70% less cost. I never experience the z55/z95 suspension new so im not missing anything yet.

You can usually find seats on car-part.com in good shape for pretty cheap also.Ill check that updated cover out, i just saw that in a video recently and was assuming it would apply. Id like to sand them and paint them maybe a red or something as well. Going to do plugs/wires/coils at the same time as well. I have a terrible flutter/ticking type noise thats VERY random. Its not happening now, and just comes and goes. had a buddy look at it whos a mechanic and told me i needed wires/coils and just to do em all because of age, the noise was electrical, its not aynthing in the head.
And ive seen the seat shop but im just reluctant to pay $500 for two seat backs... Been looking for other options but havent found much.
