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

[Walkerfever]

After replacing my front and rear shocks/struts OEM, here is my 2018 Luxury stock. I also reset the car on a level surface. I think that because they changed the front and rear control arms from aluminum to steel, this caused the 2015-2017 1/2 trucks to look like your truck.

I'm pretty happy with how it sits now, I don't have autoride on this, so I don't have any room for adjustment. I thought I had autoride because I can hear something cycling under the driver side hood area when I unlock the Yukon, but guess not.

In other news, TPU version of the fuse holder is printing now. I want to test it on mine before I print yours. If all goes well, I'll probably be able to ship it out on Monday or Tuesday...weather permitting. Winter storm of some sorts blows in Sunday, and being in MO, that could mean snowmageddon, ice storm, or a brisk breeze.

that is the fuel pump priming and other things coming to life on the K2's when you unlock it or open the drivers door, there noisy. the engine makes some normal noise's also the injectors are "clicky", in general it kind of sounds like a windup watch while running. you'll here a click, click, click like once a second or so if you ever sit and just listen to the motor run. All normal

Yea, I've noticed these make a lot of noises, some new, some old. The weird thing about the pump noise under the hood is that the pump will be running when I shut the truck off and when I unlock it.

Also, TPU on the fuse holder was a bust. I went back to PETG, and made the base a little longer so a nut could be added after the install to help solidify the mounting. I have the new one printed, but wasn't able to install\test it last night. Should be today, hopefully. Kind of at the exhaust shop's mercy today.

Installed a dash cam today. With how many times people have hit this truck we need it. Been in 4 accidents(not my fault) within the last 4 years. . I’m friends with the body shop now lol.

Not Tahoe or Yukon related, but I saw this today. I never knew they made this generation with no extended cab and a short bed. It looked ok but a little misproportioned.

Don't quote me but I believe mexico gets the 2 door short cab version only , big bucks to have em transported into US I think. Ive seen some pretty badass builds in that version

I haven't really messed with TPU and under-hood environments but some ABS blend is still my go-to for high temp areas and most car things I print. I feel like when I got into printing like 2016 or 2017 everybody and their dog was trying to steer every new would-be-printer away from ABS as it can be finnicky to print (and admittedly it was very difficult to know from batch to batch and brand to brand what the blend was and how it would print/warp/etc) BUT once you get that figured out I love it. ABS is so much easier to clean up parts by hand with a knife or with sandpaper and the parts hold up great.

I have had too many PETG blends claim to be able to handle heat and then fail before some PLAs would. In the end if it is going to endure heat for long periods I always print with extra walls and top/bottom layers as the additional mass really helps any print hold up to the environment significantly better.

I had the same issue! But after realizing how much it needed to be massaged to get it to fit, I decided to look at Silverados with the same headers and realized they didn't have the same issue. They have a different joint, and found one at the local pick a part fit cheap. Highly recommended.

Great information!!
Although it seems you can’t purchase that piece by itself. Have to purchase the intermediate shaft assembly.

Cheapest way I found to get that piece was thru Amazon

Yup, I searched the internet and couldn't find one individually. That's why I settled on looking at the local parts yard. Just make sure the vehicle you pick from doesn't have any major structural damage.
