Tonyrodz's Tahoe Build Thread

[Doubeleive]

I used to get free tools from one shop, I swear every time I went there and I got home and was looking at my vehicle later I would find a tool or two, usually I gave them back whenever I passed by it was pretty much a running joke, happened several times.

They fix your wheel balance yet..?

Not yet.

shops by you must have a hard time finding good help, shit like that is all unacceptable. damn bleeders are simple open wrench, tell me thy dont have that on hand? pliers are a last ditch effort on a old bleeder, not a brand new one.

Agreed. I just want this shit done already. Other shop was all young kids--rookies!

Best of luck to ya. Gotta watch the older crowd too some of them need to set the tools down and walk away

Best of luck to ya. Gotta watch the older crowd too some of then dont need to touch a vehicle either

Thx. True, but hopefully they know their asses from their elbows--the other shop--not so sure.

Are they gonna do anything about the alignment?

Are they gonna do anything about the alignment?

Yup. Hopefully they can get it spot on. There's all new alignment parts under there.

Never look down on the hoe.

I don’t normally like to look down on anyone, hoe included but there’s always an exception.

That's too much weight. Do you know if they tried to reposition that tire on the wheel? When they called for that much I would break both beads and spin the tire 180 on the wheel to see if it helped. It usually did. I would not accept that.

100% correct. I get so pissed when I see that much weight on a rim. I ask the guy if it’s his first day then teach the retard how to do it correctly.

I'm finally done---They didn't give me a print out of the redone alignment, which makes me think they're hiding something. They said the alignment was as best they can get it, he said there's play in my steering box--but it drives and tracks much better. They also removed all that weight from the front tire.
The brake pedal is 100% better, but the abs pump still kicks in when you're almost fully stopped. I'm not getting any abs codes either. Truck has set for at least a year, and I know the nbs have issues with them--so I'm not totally sure if anyone messed it up, could just be it was time for the pump...? Maybe.....Idk. I'm just glad I'm outta there--4 hrs later.

Guessing that pic was pre-weight / balance correction?

What the hell. I have never had an alignment done without getting a damn printout!? Wtf!?
How’s the steering feel? Is it loose? Lot of play?
