What did you do to your 2015-2020 K2XX Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[jmm121783]

I used a light curb rash episode as an excuse to get new "shoes" on the Caddy. Same wheel, different finish... and a much, MUCH better road force balance job. Also painted the front brake rotor "hats" black to match the rear.

That is a nice and clean looking Esky!

I want to say the reason the 5100 isn't a recommended shock for you is length...they should be slightly longer than a stock shock.

Possibly look into the 4600 (yellow) as that is usually a stock length with very similar valving to the 5100

I had a feeling it had to do with the PPV having a drastically lower suspension when compared to any of the other Tahoe trim levels. You do know that they are "adjustable" in that they have 3 or 4 ring lands that you snap a clip in to hold the spring perch at different heights? I do wonder if that will be enough though. I really LOVED my 5100s, not only because of the ride quality but also that stainless valve body. You would think that any shock made for a "lowered" Tahoe would also be good.

Any other "high end" shock recommendations?
Anyone running the 4600s on a K2 PPV?

You are correct...adjustable from STOCK to 2.5" roughly HIGHER...not lower, the shock travel itself would bottom out on bump.

I have this and I love it.

I have the exact same one. Works perfectly for me as well.

Drained the catch can after a month, about 75% full.

Is catch can oil bad? Or what do you do with it?

Nothing big, just black bowtie on the rear and black lettering. Didn't realize until I started that the letters I got for the rear are the same size as the doors. Oh well.

I save it in a bottle then dump it in the oil I drain out during an oil change.

I don't recommend reusing it...it may have a slightly higher moisture content.

It can contain more than just oil therefore I really don't see the benefit of analyzing anything that comes from a catch can, but I could be wrong though and would be interested to hear otherwise.

I have a Mighty Mouse Catch Can (Amazing built quality, good features, functions very well and looks top notch IMHO) on my V and depending on how many miles driven, condition of the motor, driving conditions and how big your catch can is I think that is/could be a problem. Are you sure the can is hooked up right? I have only drained mine a couple times and my car is no Daily Driver by any means but I put 6-10k on a season. Even when I drain it at the end of the season, I'm only seeing 3oz at most, if I had to guess.

I mean dump it in the old, drained oil then take it to the auto parts store to be properly disposed of.
