    Cracked Oil Pan - What are the implications?

    I had an oil change done at the shop and mechanic showed me how oil is seeping out and around due to a cracked oil pan. I'm seeing no drips/drops on my garage floor, and seeing no noticeable drop in oil pressure. What are the implications of doing nothing?

    1.5 level vs 2.5/1 level

    Merry Christmas to all. Wanting to level my stock-suspension 2008 Tahoe LT. Not fully understanding the difference between a 1.5" front level vs 2.5" front & 1" rear level. I will never run greater than 275/60 r20 tires on factory 20" rims. Running 275/55 r20 now. Just want to raise the front...

    Interesting 2006 Suburban on ebay

    I was doing some online recon and stumbled across this listing on EBay. No idea about the mechanical condition, but the interior and exterior appearance is CLEAN. If I lived nearby I’d go look at it and would probably buy it. I have absolutely no connection with the vehicle or its seller. Just...

    Installing LED in OEM Headlight Assemblies - Low Beam

    I've been okay with the light output from my factory headlights. But since I've moved to LED for all other interior & exterior lights, it's making the headlights stand out and look very 'old school.' I admit that this is now stressing my OCD. lol I noticed a Dodge Ram last night with what I...

    When to do a rebuild?

    I acquired my 2008 Tahoe LT a little over a year ago and when it had 126k miles. I immediately replaced the struts and shocks. I replaced tires recently. 139k on the clock at this writing. Rides and handles good. But I can't help but wonder if maybe the springs and bushings are close to being...

    Tips on replacing rear control arms

    I'm planning to replace upper & lower REAR control arms this weekend. Vehicle has 138k miles. Ride is decent but I can hear a few chirps now and then from rear end and so I figure the bushings are done. Passenger side arms looks okay but there's ample surface rust on driver side lower control...

    Nitto 420s - Really that good?

    I've been dragging my feet on buying new tires because I just don't look forward to dropping that amount of money. Tires aren't bald but I don't have long before they become a little too worn to be safe. Had been eyeing the Nitto Trail Grappler G2 because they get good reviews and, well, I just...

    Chirp, chirp....chirp

    I noticed a high-pitched chirping sound today while driving over minor road bumps with windows rolled down. Seems to be coming from the rear. Guessing it's the bushings in the upper and/or lower control/trailing arms. Common squeak/chirp point in a NNBS with around 140K miles on her?

    JBL vs Kicker

    I'm considering a speaker upgrade for my '08 Tahoe with factory Bose system. I'm a dad in the suburbs, no audiophile, and I won't be messing with the head unit or adding amps and all that. Just interested in replacing the 8 existing paper cones with more efficient and more natural sounding...

    One (1) cupped tire

    I'm running the OEM Eagle LS2 tires. They have about 48k miles on them and appear to have at least 5-10k more miles left before requiring replacement. But they are not great---not particularly smooth or quiet or anything. In fact, over the past month or so I have to inflate them almost once per...

    Repair or Replace Center Console Lid

    My Tahoe has about 136K miles on it. The interior is pretty darn clean except for the front left area of the center console lid cover, since it's the point where driver's elbow rests & rubs on it during driving. I've priced out replacing the entire lid assembly, which is anywhere from about...

    Resonator Delete without SLP or other tips

    I've thinking about cutting off my resonator and NOT adding on any tip(s). The SLP Kit looks good, but I may prefer having a completely clean rear bumper valance. I know of at least one member on here who runs this setup. Anyone else run this? Any issues?

    275/60-20 instead of 275/55-20 - Any real issues?

    I'm due for new tires soon and like the look of the 275/60-20 versus the standard 275/55-20. Does running this taller aspect ratio on stock 20s with stock ride height & ECM settings cause any clearance or other issues?
