    Experience with Dobinsons rear coils?

    @bobsburban At that height you might be reaching the effective range of the factory height suspension. When I lifted the rear of my Tahoe, after a certain point the ride got really bad, I remedied that with rear shock extenders to bring the rear shocks back into their operating range so that...

    2008 tahoe 5.3l afm/dod delete issue

    Strange problem to have multiple injectors fail at the same time. I would investigate what the injectors have in common like wiring or ground

    2008 tahoe p0300...

    Could just be bad gas, I would drive that tank down and fill it with premium see if it helps

    Engine and gearbox swap from four speed to six or eight speed on 2008 Z71 ?

    My opinion of this generation of Tahoe is that you are probably better off keeping the 4l60e. You got 300+k out of the 4l60e which is a more than most people get out of their 6l80e. Just my thoughts

    AFM disable or lifter issue 2012 PPV TAHOE

    The smell part is interesting have you looked around the engine bay to see if anything burned up or a belt?

    2008 tahoe 5.3l afm/dod delete issue

    I would get all the facts straight so that we are working with good information, like what parts he used and if you engine even has VVT. Verifying the timing chain is installed right isn't too hard but you might need to do that and go back through your motor yourself to see if everything is...

    Yet another Yukon with engine tick and low oil pressure

    That doesn't sound great.

    Sounds fine

    Yet another Yukon with engine tick and low oil pressure

    Not saying the shop did anything wrong but this is why I do my work myself so that I know what happened, the good and the bad. Because when you continue to have a problem you have to go back to the shop and ask "Hey did you replace the VLOM or how did the pickup tube screen look?"

    2010 Yukon XL Body Shifting Under Braking

    I would go though the brakes again and makes sure all the caliper sliding bolts are clean and don't have to much grease on them and replace your brake hoses if they haven't been serviced in a while you could have a restriction in the brake hose

    Shocks and spacers

    @Yukon2007 Those should be ok. Might be worth the money to bump up to bilstein shocks I havne't heard good things about Ranchos

    Engine Misfire in V8 mode

    The cam could be worn or the AFM system isn’t working properly

    2008 Tahoe

    Just enjoy it, keep up in the maintenance and fix things as they break

    Shocks and spacers

    @Yukon2007 All lift is achieved from longer springs or spring spacers. If you plan on lifting it 2 inches I recommend buying shocks that are designed for lifted Tahoes or use shock extension brackets. If you use stock height shocks with a lift the shocks will not perform very well

    Engine Noise

    I mean you’ve been driving it up until now and it’s been fine but when you understand it’s the teeth of the flywheel grinding against the teeth of the starter it’s not a great picture. Interested to hear what that bolt goes to, I don’t have any experience working on that side of the motor

    No oil on dipstick

    I am certainly going to be keeping a closer eye on things. I will report back here with any mysteries oil related findings.

    No oil on dipstick

    I only engine brake when going through mountains so maybe 4 times a year. I’m using the new valve covers too. Never had oil missing like that tho

    No oil on dipstick

    @Marky Dissod Can you elaborate on the engine braking causing oil consumption thing? It’s been a while since I made this post and so far there is no oil on the driveway or anything so I don’t think my Tahoe is leaking out all the oil so I’m wondering if you are right about the engine braking thing

    Went Wheeling - Couple issues maybe connected. Traction control, 4WD etc.

    @Doubeleive @Trey Hardy I wonder if gear ratio has any influence on 4l60e longevity. The gmt900 4l60e seems better than previous ones

    Engine Noise

    I second the starter gear is probably contacting the flywheel. You can test by parking with the rear of the Tahoe uphill with the nose pointing downhill and if the problem doesn’t happen when parked like that I think you’re on the right track

    I don’t think it would be the rear diff, I wonder if it’s the transfer case but I don’t know much about those. But you said it doesn’t happen in 4wd which makes me think it’s the tcase

    Bought core block

    @lspann3525 Keep in mind that there are different stock cams so make sure you are at least using the best factory cam I think it’s the l33

    Fox shocks

    @dark_knight2571 I agree its probably one of the wires that goes from the chassis to the wheels.

    Bought core block

    @lspann3525 Many factors can contribute to the power rating like heads, pistons, and cam. There is a bit of work to get a GMT800 motor into a GMT900 chassis but it should be doable. Was it a good deal or why did you buy it?

    Bilstein 5100 highest lift perch VS lift pucks

    @Marky Dissod Have you thought about looking into PPV suspension? I understand they are lower and better at handling
