2004 6.0 NV4500 Tahoe

[Dantheman1540]

The tires came with the wheels are have 80% or better tread. However they are a 225/65/17 so tiny tiny tiny. The massive wheel well gap is why it looks taller. Gonna run them for a couple days burn up a tank of gas and see if I get better mpg. I'm amazed how much better they ride and how quiet they are.

I think they have convinced me to get a highway all season tire like a Michelin Defender in a really normal boring size. Also it roasts these tires so easy it's not even funny! Planning a big double burn out with my buddy that has a 408 denali when my 9.5 swap is done. Kill all 4 of these in one sitting then swap the 20s back on until I decide what tires to get.

Looks a little high. Go with Loctite? What tire size did you go with?

Yep red locktite and the lock washer. Took 2 or so hours to drill and tap them all. But the drill bit and tap are still in good shape since I went slow and used a lot of cutting oil.

Ok I believe my MPG had increased drastically with the PPV wheels. Yes I know they are smaller by 13% but the MPG improvement seems much better than just 13%.

In other news I need some decent looking lug nuts for the PPV wheels. As the lug studs are showing and the factory lug nuts are old and ugly. Should I just get some black or chrome lugs nuts? Or maybe something with a little more pizzazz? I don't like the crazy long studs or sharp pointy ones.

I'd go with plain black. Keep it understated.

This explains why you didn't see that concrete pole base.

There, there. I'm sure you've learned your lesson and will take great care of your Yukon going forward. At least you're off to a good start with it.

Still pissed that my grandfather sold the engine out of it without asking me though. I also haven't even gotten money off of that either

When I'm finally able to get up to the shop to look at it and make sure I'm going to. I haven't hardly left the house in 2 weeks. Plus I can't drive my truck much. Rear end dope is dangerously low and the cover is leaking

Rear end dope? Maybe something like this? Just trying to make sense....




The following is a true account:

A 26-year-old male arrives at the ER complaining of ****** bleeding. He is too embarrassed to provide an accurate history but provides the examing doctor a clue: “There might be something stuck in my rear end.” Examination reveals a non-tender abdomen, but a ****** exam shows blood coming from his ****. A speculum exam reveals bloody stool and a dead gerbil. Apparently, through the cardboard tubing from a paper towel roll, the rodent had been forced into his ******. Once the animal was in, the tube was pulled out.

The idea is that as the gerbil suffocates, it scratches and claws at the lining of the ******, providing an intense sensation to the patient. The rodent should then have been defecated, but the swelling and bleeding had caused the retention of the animal. The patient required pain medication and antibiotics after the animal was removed, but was then allowed to go home.
