    6.2 Tahoe For Sale

    All 6.2 L9H's were required LTZ option. That was one reason they did not stay in production, too close to the Denali in price.. SwathDiver, you should have bought mine..remember, it only had 45,000 miles on it plus dyno tuned, Baer brakes & Hotchkis Suspension.. I do miss it, but my old...

    2019 Suburban RST. First upgrades?

    According to a friend, who is the lead truck shop mechanic at my local dealership, any device that you plug in will leave "Tracks" and if it alters any function, will show that the engine is operating "Out Of Parameters". If you had a problem and take it to the dealer, it will show on their...

    2019 Suburban RST. First upgrades?

    Here in the lower 48 the Range plug in unit will void your engine warranty..:eek: I had one on a 2014 Tahoe and did not notice much difference in mileage,., My 2009 LTZ 6.2 did not have AFM so do not know how it would work with the 6.2.. I did have a custom 3.5" exhaust system and an AirRaid...

    Recs for brake pads for 2015 Yukon 22" factory rims

    The best I have used are the Baer Pads, but the GM or AC Delco Semi-Metallic pads are very good also.. I do not run Ceramic pads as they tend to eat rotors and do not have the stopping power of Semi-Metallic pads.. When I upgraded my 09 6.2 Tahoe I use the Baer Eradispeed 15" Rotor & Pads.. I...

    The Unthinkable Happened Today

    I sold my 2009 Tahoe LTZ 6.2 today. :eek: Well, I had a discussion with a young man about selling the Tahoe and we agreed on a price that made me consider selling her then after I met him, I was convinced that "Goldie" would go to a good home. I had a lot of fun with this hot rod Tahoe but...

    2018 Tahoe 5.3l - Gas question

    OK Pappa Bear, I also have a 2018 Tahoe that I bought new in January. I run 89 octane exclusively in this Tahoe and ONLY run major brand fuel in my vehicles.. I generally use Exxon as there is a large facility near my home and they are very busy so no old fuel in the tank// Plus it is owned by...

    2016 Tahoe - transmission fluid change?

    Follow Owners Manual and you will good to go. The new trannys get a flush/exchange and it is around 50K or more.. diffs about same.. I personally think you are throwing good oil away if you are using full synthetic.. Manual is about 7500 or when your oil indicator tells you. I run Kendall...

    Tahoe 6.2l question.

    I like the front end of my 09 6.2 Tahoe LTZ & those who mess with me learn to like the back end!!:eek: James thanks for the advert.. I keep changing my mind on the Tahoe, but am in the process of buying some property so if the deal comes through then I will probably sell the Beast.. Thirdcoast

    Time To Do My Brakes.

    Yes, this Baer uses the factory calipers, but the rotors, mounting bracket and pads are new and made by Baer. Your statement about finding a middle ground between full on race level and a great improvement is exactly what the EradiSpeed kit offers. And at an affordable price. Braking is...

    Time To Do My Brakes.

    If you want to go to larger rotors & better pads, check out the Baer Eradispeed system.. You get a Baer 15" rotor & Baer Composite Pads..Tremendous stopping power. Price on Baer website is under $1600 which will do front & rear including pads.. I run this setup on my 09 Tahoe 6.2 with 20"...

    Installed Corsa Sport - 2018 Yukon Denali *video*

    Well, I guess I am just an oddball, because I installed a Corsa Sport on my new Tahoe and do not like it at all. Fit & finish is superb, but the sound is too loud for me. Drone is terrible in V4 mode.. NOT Acceptable as this is my daily driver.. I am going to keep the Corsa pipe, but go with...

    Wilwoods

    The Wilwood's will work great.. I think that the Wilwood & Baer are comparable and the full package with the larger rotors along with the 6 piston calipers will be the ultimate.. I knew that I was not going to be towing, so did the EradiSpeed Kit which is still a big improvement. TC

    Wilwoods

    The TX are the Extreme version and only have slotted rotors which give the brake surface more swept area. The TC are for trucks with larger wheels and need more stopping power and come with slotted & drilled rotors and work with factory master cylinder with no problem. I have used Wilwood on...

    Do our $$$$$ Escalade's not have an integrated brake controller?

    I think that you are all missing what he is saying about that little trailer.. He is trying to tow it with a Pintle Hitch, not on a ball that is solid with the platform hitch.. The tow rating is generated using the vehicle as well as the method of attaching the trailer to the vehicle. Our...

    Do our $$$$$ Escalade's not have an integrated brake controller?

    Yep, got one of those brake controllers on my El Cheapo 2018 Tahoe Custom, but it was an option included with the Max Trailering Package, RPO NHT, for $580.00.. RPO JL1 is the stand alone Brake Controller order code..
