    2002 Z71: Time for new shocks - seeking input on lift options

    Get the keys that are indexed or clocked for a little more preload. Torque them a little higher than you'd think looks right so the ride height is right where you want when it settles a few weeks later. Two options to lift the rear..coil spacers and new z71 springs (yours are probably tired) or...

    Custom buttons in empty dash spots

    No, in my 2003 Suburban, the sub is in the front center console, so the rear cargo area has a giant void of unused space where the subwoofer was located on the '99-'02 rigs. Instead of wasting this space and keeping a crate of junk in the back of my Suburban, I cut open this area (inside the...

    Custom buttons in empty dash spots

    I cut out plastic from driver rear storage compartment (where 99-02 factory subwoofer was located) to allow entire area behind trim to be used as storage. This plastic became blank to replace small storage below HVAC vent on right side (same as pic above), where I mounted a dual input port from...

    2003 Suburban Speaker Upgrade

    Proper wattage (peak/RMS) and impedance (ohms) ratings are what I'm asking for help with, of course also if it is a terrible idea to replace with 2 or 3 way speakers. I am not interested in replacing the factory console sub. I've read countless threads on this board and others about this...

    Will a 5.7 from a 1995 tahoe work in a 1999?

    '95 5.7 will not work in '96 Tahoe. TBI vs CSFI. Many differences; complete induction setup, heads/cam/valvetrain, computer, etc.

    Horsepower gains?

    Intake = bad idea (no real gains, just a lot of hot air) Headers and exhaust = good idea (nearly any vehicle will benefit from this) PCM tune = good idea (nearly any vehicle will benefit from this) Maybe the exhaust and tune together would make a noticeable difference. Regearing the truck...

    Are there different rear diff or transmission gear ratios with different model years?

    Same ratios year to year: 3.08 3.42 3.73 4.10 They're just different truck to truck. My '05 is 3.42, and my '03 is 3.73.

    1999 Tahoe Camshaft

    Any "bigger" cam you stick in the L31 is going to need a spring upgrade. I'm not sure what you consider head work, but to a novice that may qualify as head work. If by headwork you mean machine work for more lift then fear not. There are numerous drop in spring kits that will allow much...

    2003 Suburban Audio System Upgrade Help

    Rechecking all connections afforded me full functionality of the chime module in all of its lameness. It does work for all warnings but sounds like garbage. I'm thinking I'm going to try to wire in the chime box from my GMT400 and see if it will work. Thanks for the info on the LUX upgrade...

    2003 Suburban Audio System Upgrade Help

    The factory system is the Bose setup with the sub in the center console, without navigation, without onstar. I've replaced the HU with a double din Pioneer (MVH210EX), and a little plastic module that I thought was supposed to retain the door chime/headlight on chime/seat memory chime along...

    Replacement rear 3.42 diff for 4x4. Can I mix ratios?

    Do not run two different gear ratios in 4WD. Either find a GU6 rear end, or swap both the front and rear for GT4's. You can run the GT4 rear and leave in the GU6 front, with the front driveshaft removed, until you can get a GT4 front, but then you will have no 4WD until the front is swapped to...

    High compression question

    Cranking compression is subjective and not directly proportional to static compression. In other words 190 to 200 psi of cranking compression does not indicate 13 point something static compression. Internal engine measurements and cam timing, even battery and starter "strength" determine...

    Shocks for 2003 Tahoe with 3'' lift

    The Max Controls I tried were junk. The KYB version of the nivomats left a LOT to be desired. Wound up deleting the smooth ride with moog springs and bilsteins on that rig. Never ran the procomps, but tend to stay away from the 4WP/affiliate stuff altogether for obvious reasons.

    Need stock rided height for 97 Tahoe 4wd 2dr

    You'll have your best bet at telling what you're working with by getting underneath the truck and looking around. Count the number of threads exposed under the torsion bar key keepers on the keeper bolts. Look between the rear axle and the leaf springs and see if there is a block in there or...
