    Fog Lights w/Parking Lights

    Has anyone used the jumper to jumper the fog lights with the parking lights? I generally run with the fogs on (I like the light output), and was thinking of this. It would be nice to not have to activate the fog lights independently.

    WOW, tune done now it feels GREAT!!!

    So I popped and ordered the Diablo i3 Platinum tuner. My expectations were low, but had someone at work talk me into it. I have to say, I'm impressed! I performed the "Diablo Tune" to the ECM and "Firm Shift" to the TCM. In addition, I deactivated the DOD/AFM. The truck (closest thing I have to...

    KYB, I'm a fan now!

    I just changed out my struts and shocks with KYB's Gas-A-Just line. The front came complete with springs, and fully assembled. I have to say I was trying to decided between Bilstein and KYB. It was a tough decision, but I feel good about it. The truck feels like new, and a real pleasure to drive...

    Front Diff. Issues

    2011 Tahoe LT, 4WD... The 4wd works as it should however, when I turn left or right it feels like it is binding up. Has anyone experienced this before? It also makes a humming noise when driving at speed in 4 wheel. The fluid is full and it does not make this noise in 2wd. The second issue is...

    Upper Rear Control Arm/Track Arm

    I am beyond annoyed at this point. 2011 Tahoe, LT, 4WD with stock suspension components. I am replacing the upper control arms/track arms (whatever you choose to call them). The issue I am having is there are apparently 2 different iterations of them. One that is straight, and one that is dog...

    SHAME ON GENERAL MOTORS

    You know, I just need a soap box right now. GM knows they have an issue with the 5.3 when it comes to oil consumption. Mine is a 2011 and soaks up a quart every 3,000-5,000 or so. During every oil change I clean the throttle body that will never rust due to the oil slick going on in there. Then...

    '11 Tahoe Transmission Fluid....Change?

    I seem to be addicted to posting as of late. Okay so I have a 2011 Tahoe, 4x4, with 105,000. I am not sure it has every had the trans serviced. I bought it at 65,000 miles. I would like to do a filter and fluid change. Would it be wise to do so? I have no slippage, nor any other trans related...

    Looking for the AFM delete key!

    Ok brethren, lets go to the church of AFM deletion. I am kicking around the idea of deleting the AFM. So I know that I can delete the programming through Black Bear, but that doesn't fully delete it correct? I actually need to change out components, correct? Ok, I am a pretty handy...

    All things fluid.

    105,000 miles on this tank, and it's time for a blood transfusion. I'm prepping to change the fluid in the transfer case, front differential and rear differential. So far I ordered the rear diff gasket (I know that I could reuse the old, but since it was available I went ahead for piece of...

    Been a while since I last posted, but I have a head scratcher.. 2011 Tahoe, 5.3 Flex, VIN 0, 105,000 miles. It has this little annoying chirp, chirp, chirp sound coming from the engine compartment. The noise is intermittent, and speeds up with the RPM's. Sometimes it is not there when the...

    Engine ticking, GM ticking me off!

    Ugh, the frustration consumes me. 2011 Tahoe LT 4WD, 77,000 miles. Engine started making this ticking noise from the passenger side head area about 4 weeks ago. It never goes away cold or hot and the ticking increases with RPM. Made an appointment and took it in. The technician verified...

    E85 fuel!

    Okay, here it is. I didn't drink the koolaid but I am a believer. My '11 Tahoe LT runs a bit sluggish after 30 min of driving. Changed plugs and did a full tune up. All factory parts were used. So the other day I decide to hit the E85 pump. Gas light was on so it was pretty empty. Filled...

    Leaking Transmission lines to the radiator!

    I have a 2011 Tahoe LT 4WD. Noticed some leaking around the crimp on the lines from the transmission to the radiator. I could replace them for $80 but I'd like a more permanent fix. It is just a bad design, I don't like the crimps. I have seen where a fellow cut the hard line right before...

    Rear end clunk and shifting when turning!

    This may be due to the shock issue in my previous post but wanted to give its own identity. This only happens at one particular intersection. I come up to the stop sign and the pavement slopes downward. As I am turning right onto the level pavement from the sloped pavement the rear end...

    Shock & Strut information NEEDED!!! HELP

    Alright new to the group, but here it goes. A couple of suspension questions. I have a 2011 Tahoe LT 4WD! Roughly 75,000 miles on it and runs great, a little bouncy and have a thump noise when the rear end shocks get extended to far. My diagnoses shocks are worn and warrant replacement...
