2004 6.0 NV4500 Tahoe

I bet a portable steamer would've taken that crayon right off. I had the same console/jump seat when I 1st got my 03. Converted to the full console and I love it.

I want one of those steamers but the cracks in the vinyl were annoying me anyway. I really want a mini portable steam vacuum thingy like Stanley steamer but mini and made by Milwaukee cause M12/M18 is lord.

No, they really were that bad!

Some people are just rotten

Well the Monkey Pox still inhabits my crocs, other than that good! Just busy busy busy and not so much with truck stuff now that my commute and daily miles driven is like 20.


Bruh you’ll never believe this shit, so I push mow 5acres right. The wife has started doing it with me! I can home today and she had already been mowing for an hour, pretty incredible what the aliens that are pretending to be her are willing to do.

But for real nothings changed other than she push mows now lol.

Glad to hear it buddy. And 20 TWENTY whole miles! My god man, how do you do it!? Lol

Push mow. 5 ******* acres? You are nuts!

My calves are so big I struggle to find pants that fit over them. Not a joke hahaha, and I only use 20” pos found in the side of the road or $100 marketplace special mowers.

Yeah my commute has been life changing, no stress of having to make a modified truck survive 150 miles a day lol.

Can't argue with this. All true..

So I’m always looking at tires, what’s new, good prices, what I can find used, and whatever else. Tahoe is getting close to needing a set and if it’s getting 4x4 I gotta step up the tread aggressiveness over these 2020 sierra BFG takeoffs (can’t remember the name). Anyway these are 275/60/20 and here is how much clearance they have at about 30% tread life. I think the next set will have to be 265/60/20 which is just a tad smaller but I think will have a better shot at clearing an AT or RT tread pattern without touching the ride height. I doubt the size difference will even be noticeable.

Big progress today, entire RCSB drivetrain was yanked out and is in my shop waiting for cleaning and organizing. That damn trans weighs soooooooo muuuchhhhh

It underwent a gender change and soon is going to undergo another major surgery to have 4x4 added. All the parts breakdown from what’s currently installed is in the first post. I can’t even remember half of it or I’d attempt to post it here for you.

Drug a Jetta wagon about two hours today for a friend. I didn’t realize they put the 3.6l VR6 motor in those cars, supposedly it’s fast if it was working.

Anyway I’ve been thinking about buying a brand new trailer to haul cars on and here’s my list of wants. I’ve only owned one car hauler and some of y’all probably have some good experience to add to my wants list.

-16’+2 or 18’+2 dovetail
-Wooden deck steal frame
-6 or 8lug Torsion axles so the deck can be lower.
-Drive over or removable fenders
-Extra long ramps
-Protected lights
-Disk brakes
-Receiver at nose for winch mount
-Tie downs everywhere can always add in extra later
-Spare tire mount
-Small tool box for tire change stuff and straps

Anyone have anything else to add or things I should reconsider?

No real input since I've never owned a trailer but my brother has a nice hydraulic tilt trailer that's really nice. He could pull his lowered c6 on it with no issues. If you ever plan to haul something low, that would be something to consider

I’ve seen those and they are super mega awesome however……… it will very likely end up dragging ratchet stuff down long dirt roads and I’d be scared doing that with something so nice.

I also don’t want to spend $15k, I think I can get what I want for around 8-10.

Did stuff today
-Installed redhead box, one finger steering at idle now.
-OEM rear UCAs which weren’t really bad like I thought. I think maybe just the driver side bolt that goes to the axle was loose.
-New TBSS dudes rear endlinks but didn’t drill and move the sway bar over because my stuff fits fine.
-Swapped from $20 catch cans to my $300 Mighty Mouse and found out my nitrogen cylinder on my Tahoe hydroboost which I think is OEM. Is actually twice the size as my RCSBs which is from a duramax. It had clearance issues so I had to ghetto fab a bracket.
-Found ac sensor wiring issue, no idea why the wires are legit stripped.
-Did oil change to Rotella T6 and a Wix filter cause it’s hot down here and this thing suffers from kinda low idle OP. I also found nearly nothing on the magnet and he filter looked clean after 5k.
-Lastly, removed steering stabilizer. The shock seems fine but the rubber bushings are completely gone. I’d like to replace them with poly and maybe a Bilstein shock cause they are pretty. But if anyone has a link or part # to poly bushings I’ll just do that. Although I’m gonna drive it a bit and see if I think the stabilizer is even worth it.
