Dropped my K2xx at the shop on Monday to have them go through it. Nothing surprising at all; broken motor mount, exhaust manifold leak, play in control arms, needs struts and ball joints. Overall I was happy with the diagnosis.

ALSO–what a coincidence! This leveling kit I was already looking at knocks out like half the stuff on that list! :D Pulled the trigger online from Rudy's Diesel this afternoon. Having this kit sent straight to the shop. I leave for Buenos Aires on Sunday (July 7). Truck should be ready to by the time I return, second week of August.

Lastly, steering wheel has a lot of wear, leaving crud on my hands, which really bothers me.

So I ordered a custom made carbon fiber and leather, flat bottom fighter steering wheel with performance gauges on top. Pictured in red stitching but they're making mine in black with white stitching and a white twelve o'clock stripe.

When I bought my k2xx a few weeks ago, the center console lid was contorted. A common issue with high mileage Tahoes. So I replaced it with an inexpensive one from eBay. I'm fine with the result; the factory original was real leather-the replacement is vinyl. But it looks good enough. And to protect it from more damage, I bought an inexpensive cover from eBay. It was around $30 I believe.
