    At a loss with electrical/mech problems - 2015 Tahoe LTZ

    That is a frustrating thing, unfortunately GM put a mid-size car charging system in a vehicle that needs enormous power. I also replaced the stock 150a alternator with the 170a. GM Genuine Parts 84143540 Alternator. Amason has 1 right now labeled used for $100 off. Side note, all used parts suck...

    What did you do to your 2015-2020 K2XX Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Installed aFe rear diff cover while changing the fluid. I had already swapped out the panhard with the Spohn high clearance one so there was plenty of room…

    Anyone upgraded to a 6.2L intake manifold on a 5.3L?

    Are we still in the intake upgrade thread on the TahoeYukon Performance sub-forum…I don’t know about the racing stuff, but I love my Chevy for reasons other than it being a money pit, questionably reliable, and easily schooled by many cars. And I love it even more when it goes fast. I suppose I...

    And… that GM L86 intake I installed on my L83 3 weeks ago is going to have to come off in a month or two. I had a mental break and ordered the Magnuson TVS2650 for L83 5.3 today. This “better to die with memories than dreams” thing is going to kill me.

    Anyone upgraded to a 6.2L intake manifold on a 5.3L?

    Yes, I did. I have the MPVI3 and tuned it. Installed the Kooks long tubes and green catted ypipe at the same time. Also full LT4 and E85 fueling. Max NA gains but I have to wait till summer for the good E85.

    Anyone upgraded to a 6.2L intake manifold on a 5.3L?

    Yes, just did that 2 weeks ago. I went this route- Genuine GM L86 Intake Manifold 12639087 which mates perfectly to the aFe POWER 87mm Throttle Body 46-39109. The TB is connected to an aFe Momentum GT Cold Air intake Part Number 51-74110. The plastic GM manifold is a great deal compared to all...

    Motor mount replacement: Which mount to use?

    Did you have to remove the y-pipe to get to the mount?

    0W-20 to 0W-40?

    Wondering about that too…my 2018 has the L83. I’m already doing embarrassingly paranoid interval oil changes with M1 0w20. The recall not only changes the in-scope trucks to 40 weight but specifically uses M1 Supercar… my L83 isn’t high compression like the 6.2, but if it’s better for the...

    Replacing Motor Mounts

    Having read the mounts would go, I bought new OE GM driver and passenger motor mounts for my 2018 Suburban and added them to my parts hoard. I've had no reason time to install them yet. But I have new Kooks on the way, albeit shorties.... (please, no long vs. short). All of which leads to this...
