    Those Who Moved From an '07-14 to '15+ generation... How Was It?

    I concur with @CMoore711 and @pwtr02ss I went from an 08 Avalanche to a 17 Burb. I liked that I got android auto, a nice screen, more features without having to buy and install a Pioneer head unit, like I did for Avy. Ride was more comfortable stock for stock on the Avy vs the Burb. I...

    5.3 build ideas input please

    102k on my 5.3 with Whipple. (Granted is a Gen V LT but I digress). The motor is all stock. Havent even done a DOD/AFM delete on the motor. 40k on the motor since the whipple was installed and I drive it like I stole it. The only tick is the exhaust exiting the headers. If you are pulling...

    Drivers door adjustment

    Wasn't sure if I should revive an old thread, or start a new one. Rolled the dice and here I am. Had some crazy winds up here in Jersey and the door came right out of my hand. Overextended the door. I found @tobypine2 thread here: Door Catch However my door is off also. Since the upper...

    Noth East Tahoe? He must be from BAAHston in the Noth. Well this was fun while it lasted... Hey, wait a second. I just realized he was making fun of me! Someone lend me a BAN-hammer....

    time to break up with denial…guess who. 6L80!!!

    @NickTransmissions videos are growing on me and the few I have seen are pretty thorough. But don't sleep on Brandon Sloan out of Greenville SC.

    Front and Rear Control Arms & Polyurethane Bushings

    I haven't driven it hard yet cause I am waiting for those replacement bushing for the front sway, but yeah its a noticeable difference. There's a little bit more harshness in the suspension but I am OK with the "Corvette-ness" of the truck. Looking forward to pushing this thing around some...

    Front and Rear Control Arms & Polyurethane Bushings

    All Done!!! Mevotechs with the polys are in, along with my newly machined sleeves. Everything is tight and noise free! No clanking and no squeaks. A noticeable improvement in handling and I saved about 12lbs per side vs the factory stamped steel units. I replaced the swaybar end links with...

    Why the switch to big rims?

    See my post at #28 Larger wheels are heavier. That's a fact. If you want large. lightweight wheels (Think 2 or 3 piece wheels), you are going to pay top dollar. As I stated in my post, I'm not about to spend $12,000 for a 20" or 22" lightweight wheel (sans tire). $4k was about my...

    Motor Mounts

    Just ordered these. I got the 1/2" lower ones to drop the motor a bit. Should help me in autoX a bit. https://atomicfabandperformance.com/product/14-18-gmt2kxx-lt-poly-motor-mounts/

    Why the switch to big rims?

    The 18's that came with my truck were 66lbs. The 24's on it now are 94lbs. The weight disadvantage sucks but then again I am not going to spend $12k for lightweight wheels. Also upgraded to Wilwood BBK and they require a minimum of 20" wheels to clear the caliper. However, my truck is...

    2.7 Turbomax

    Been driving my Dad's 22 Silverado for the last month+ while my Burb is laid up. That i4 has some kick to it. Its way better on fuel than the dash is telling me and while I am not beating on it, I usually have the cruise set to 80mph. I am filling up once every 2 weeks on a smaller tank than...

    NJ Tahoe Specialists?

    New Hillcrest Mobile in Cedar Grove. Bob is the owner. Nick usually takes care of my truck. They are not cheap but they are good. They did my Whipple install and a majority of my other work. They are rebuilding my rear this winter. Been taking care of most of my cars and other family's...

    How can you afford the cost of a new SUV?

    I really have no idea how people are doing it. I LOVE the Esky V but there's no way I could justify (let alone afford) spending $150k on a new whatever. My wife and I do pretty well for ourselves (not as well as @Geotrash !!!) but its getting more difficult to maintain current lifestyle, let...

    Mechman Alt Install - Need Battery Terminal Suggestions

    Not sure how those mounts are going to work unless you get a non-standard battery. A battery for the K2XX platform has a big square on top so the tray for the distro plate can mount properly. I had a Red Top in my Burb and it didn't make the clearances any better. As for the gorund cable, my...

    Mechman Alt Install - Need Battery Terminal Suggestions

    Looking for suggestions (pics preferably) on how anyone has run a multi-connection battery post on the K2XX platform. The ground area is super tight and I have 2 options to go with and none seem to be any good. I did a Mechman 400 and I replaced the factory 4 gauge cable with 0/1 but its going...

    Wanted 86-93 Mustang Notchback

    Dang. I guess I will have to wear a skirt next time I take the TA out. I wonder if the dress will ride up on me if I power shift. lmao I was just getting quotes from SGT Auto Transport and Montway Auto transport. Someone from Buffalo is buying my 78 Lincoln and I was getting quotes between...

    New Here / First Thread / First Mods (Yukon XL Denali)

    Welcome from North jersey! Mighty Mouse Extreme. Whether you get any other performance mods or not on the truck, everything @ninjaplumber said is correct. I'm a fan of spending good money once up front so I went with the MM can instead of cheap amazon stuff. That's your prerogative tho...

    Autocross in a 'Burb

    Finished the season with 4 events. Had a blast. I def need to stiffen up the suspension a bit more. Shorter sway bar links, some poly bushings and better UCA/LCA up front. Gonna build the read and get some 3.73s out back with a TrueTrac carrier and upgraded components. Still working on...

    Front and Rear Control Arms & Polyurethane Bushings

    Just wanted to provide an update to anyone that may be interested in going with the Mevotech A-Arms and the Prothane bushings. @CMoore711 was at the 1 yard line - I just took it in for a goal. After consulting with my suspension guy as well as my mechanic, they both suggested I get someone to...

    2019 Suburban purchase, before buying what do I need to be aware of ?

    2017 Burb here closing in on 100k with a lot of performance mods (she's got a little abuse on her) Get a tuner (either a "canned tune" like an Edge programmer or remote tuner like BlackBear) to disable AFM and DOD. When you get your transmission fluid changed, there should be a bulletin on the...

    Front and Rear Control Arms & Polyurethane Bushings

    I ordered the Spohn kit (GMSUV-07-RK1) and it fit perfectly. Everything fit - I had a suspension specialist do the install since he is used to working on cars set up for the track. You don't need the DJM kit for it to work. The delsphere's on the Spohn kit relieve any possible binding. I'm...

    Howdy from DFW - New Avalanche Owner

    Welcome from NJ. I absolutely LOVED my 08 Avy. The transmission is garbage but otherwise it never gave me any trouble. Great truck all around. Best of luck to you.
