    Cheap Catch Can Install

    If you have a GM V-8, especially an LS+ series, chances are that you need a catch can. This is common knowledge but there are always newcomers to the platform or to the concept, so questions are still being asked. I recently had the task of installing one on my friend's '09 Tahoe and I took...

    Catch can flow discussion

    First off, this is more of a universal discussion and not exclusive to the '07-'14. I couldn't decide where else would be appropriate so I just picked the GMT900 forum. Mods, feel free to move it if there's a better place for it. I have an average Amazon catch can slated for installation on...

    Mods for weight and aero... Okay, more for looks. Can't decide.

    My left fender has some wrinkles. I bought a good fender of the same color, but it needs paint work so I haven't bothered to swap it on yet. I've been keeping an eye out for another fender with "perfect" paint just in case. The other day, I stumbled upon this: It's all there...

    Cast iron UCA versus aluminum UCA ball joint tapers

    I was given stock struts and upper control arms from a 2020 Silverado or Sierra that was lifted after only 6,000 miles. I really just wanted the struts to cannibalize for parts, but am now looking at swapping on the aluminum arms to have new OEM stuff, save a few lbs. and since @89Suburban...

    Seat cushion- OEM, Durafoam or eBay special?

    Searching showed me mostly just results on OE and The Seat Shop's Durofoam seat cushions being installed but no real reviews other that "happy butts". I read one where they said the Durofoam was really firm. But, this can't be fairly compared to an aged, worn and beat-down OEM cushion. I...

    Rear A/C oddities

    I fixed my A/C tonight but noticed the rear A/C is still quirky. When set on "face", it blows out the headliner vents but isn't cool at all. It's not full-on heat, but not chilled. When I switched it to "feet", the air from the vents under the seats is cool. I didn't let it run long enough...

    Exhaust question for 2500 owners

    A buddy just bought an '02 Avalanche 2500 (8.1). The entire exhaust is missing from the after the cats so I'm trying to help him source the parts to rebuild it. We're looking at aftermarket stock replacement mufflers and tubing, but not sure if they're for the 2500 or if there's any difference...

    Slack in new rockers?

    I just received 16 new "GM Genuine" valve rockers, part number 12681275. They appear to be genuine as well as the bags they're in. As with more and more "domestic" brand parts, these are made in China. The trunnions have a lot of slack. I know they're supposed to move side-to-side. But...

    Somebody buy my Hoe. ***ON HOLD FOR NOW***

    *****DUE TO LOGISTICS DIFFICULTIES, POSSIBLE CHANGES TO PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS AND MAYBE EVEN PIPE DREAMS, THIS MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE OF MECHANICAL ARTWORK IS UNAVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE AT THE MOMENT***** Anyone want my Tahoe? Everything from when I first bought it to its current state is in my...

    Interior stuff...

    I asked this a while back in a forum of a different subject so it got buried with no replies. I replaced the headlight/interior dimmer switch panel a month or so ago with one I got from (I think) a 2013 since mine only had two lights still working. All the lights work on the new one, but the...

    Wheel project: Black or color-match?

    Yesterday, I ended up with a set of these 22x9.5 Verde V24 Invictus wheels. I mounted and spun each of them on the front to check for bends and looked 'em over as close as I could for cracks, etc. All looked well so I brought 'em home. They need some minor reconditioning which will include...

    Factory fog/driving light assemblies

    Anyone ever replace or is about to replace your fog/driving lights? Looking for a set of factory lights for a Tahoe/Suburban/Avalanche to experiment with. The lenses can be foggy or mildly cracked since I'll be cutting on them. But, I need the back side to be good with no broken mounting...

    Another genius idea

    I may be late to this party, but a friend shared this idea with me. For those performing an AFM delete, you really should plug off the towers rather than rely on the O-ring gaskets to hold back the oil pressure. It's cheap insurance, especially when it costs only $10. Get a cheap wheel...

    Problem with order

    First off, thank you for your discount code and quick delivery! I have a small problem with my order and I didn't see a way to discuss it with you on your site. My only options were to select either a return/refund or replacement and I don't feel it's necessary to incur extra shipping charges...

    Project... Dumpster Fire? Crispy Cart? Burnt Up to Turn't Up?

    Couldn't settle on any one name for this project, so y'all give me your opinions. Anyway, I stumbled onto what I thought was a deal. At least, it seemed that way at first, but it still may be. Too late to back out now, though. Story time: I've been letting my 12-year-old practice driving...

    Circle D converter- how to launch?

    When the time is right, I'll be running my Tahoe to compare to the baselines I made before I did the cam, exhaust, converter, etc. I have a little time to get everything ironed out and launching with the new converter is my current thought. It seemed to launch harder with the stock converter...

    Need it as quiet as possible without choking the flow

    Before the recent mods, my exhaust was stock except for a Magnaflow 12259 clone and resonator delete. It was perfect- Not loud inside, no drone, quiet when cruising but roared at WOT/high RPM. Now, headers and deleted cats have been added to the setup. It's much too loud. I don't see how the...

    Body molding/trim for roof

    I've seen a thread(s) either here or on other forum(s) where someone used adhesive-backed body molding that somewhat matched the embossed rails in the roof to cover the holes left from removing the roof rack. Of course, I can't find anything now- no threads, no Google pics, nothing. Has anyone...

    Only 1.5" drop from McG spindles

    Just finished what I thought would be a 2/3 drop. The rear dropped right at 2.375". They're coils so I wasn't expecting a perfect 3". They'll be swapped soon anyway. What I'm pissed about is that the front only dropped 1.5". I thought it was because the coils were unloaded for a couple of...

    Trailblazer torque converter

    I'll be pulling my engine when I do the AFM delete so I'll have full access to the torque converter. I've seen plenty of talk about the torque converter from an I6 Trailblazer being a nice budget upgrade in GMT800 trucks but I didn't find anything about it being in a GMT900 SUV. I'm sure my...

    Brake hose type and sizes?

    I'm piecing together a braided brake hose kit for all six flex hoses and I'm not completely sure of the sizes. I found a page on Autozone's site that seemed to have all the info I needed, but I don't know if it's accurate. Does anyone know or know where I can find the technical specs of all...
