    Z71 Adventure Wagon

    Ohh yeah I haven’t seen many options for the 2021+ generation. I think king makes a set, but they’re pricey. It looks like Dobinson might have some options as well, but I’m sure the eibach kit with some bilsteins would be sweet.

    I bought mine through shock surplus - here’s a link: https://www.shocksurplus.com/products/fox-2-0-performance-series-coilovers-shocks-set-for-2015-2019-chevrolet-suburban-4wd-rwd?srsltid=AfmBOopdpWNT2cPToFau-iiemW43s-4sIbvPMzl_AVhuBiKi94y3N2al

    Finally got some good pictures - it’s warming up here in the mountains so I cleaned the burb and took a nice drive. The new fox setup is so smooth - especially when encountering bumps at highway speeds. Hope everyone is doing well!

    Oil Pressure and Driving Hard

    Thanks! Yeah I just assumed that the drivetrain wouldn't like some of the high-rev driving over passes. I'm really glad that I can push it a bit and that doing so will keep it healthy :rockit:

    Are Yukons/Tahoes reliable?

    I'm relatively new to Chevy and their truck/suv platform. Previously I owned Toyotas and Subarus, but I wanted something bigger. I wanted something that could haul heavy loads, lots of people, survive some light off-roading for camping, and be reliable. One of the big perks that I don't see...

    Oil Pressure and Driving Hard

    Ah - thank you! Yeah it’s a pretty unique and taxing drive through the mountains - the burb has been a tank so far though. Many of the mods Ive done have been for the harsh driving conditions out here - i70 can feel like high speed off roading in some of the rough spots haha

    Oil Pressure and Driving Hard

    I’m starting this thread because i have a pretty specific oil-pressure / rpm / longevity question that has been bouncing around in my head lately. I recently moved to a town up in the Rocky Mountains, so going over mountain passes is something I’m doing more often than most people. I usually...

    Show off your 2015+ leveled Tahoes and Yukons!

    My stock z71 suspension was getting worn out at 95,000 miles, so I upgraded it. I went with a Fox 2.0 setup - the front got ~2” of lift with the new coil over, and the rear got a smidge over 1” of lift from a .75” rancho spring spacer and the new fox shocks. I added the .75” spacer so I could...

    Z71 Adventure Wagon

    It’s been a while since I made an update here. The burb is still going strong - I’ve done an oil change recently and I FINALLY got the the fox 2.0 suspension installed. I went with the fox 2.0 setup, and added a set of .75” spacers to the rear springs to keep some of the factory rake. I’ve only...

    Is my transmission talking to me?

    I installed that same PE bypass in my 6L80, dropped the pan, replaced the filter, and did a few drain and fills with fresh atf. That should get it running smoother. Mine rarely gets above 190 unless I’m driving hard in the mountains. Will that fix the issue completely? Hopefully. If not...

    About to cross over 100k miles in my 2018 Tahoe Premier 4WD

    I agree with others here about servicing the transmission. I strongly advise changing the fluid and filter - it’s easy preventative maintenance. Good on ya for taking care of the other items - I’d do the transfer case on your own if you feel up to it. Its a very easy drain and fill. Aside from...

    Hey thanks - I agree - they kind of blend in with the rest of the black. I’ve been meaning to check in to provide some updates. Life has been super busy lately - my wife and I are in the process of moving to the mountains, so things have been a bit hectic, but on the plus side we’ve been in the...

    Rear Camera Issue

    Any update on this issue? I just got my first blue screen today..

    Z71 Adventure Wagon

    Well I meant to make an update post when I got back from the eclipse trip, but work and life got busy. You know how it is.. The burb was a ROAD TRIP MACHINE. I fell more in love with it on the road trip. It never skipped a beat. So comfortable too! We hit a hyuuuge rain storm on the way back...

    Z71 Adventure Wagon

    In preparation for a road trip to Tx this weekend, I finally got my spare tire mounted. I ditched the old spare, and replaced it with an eBay z71 wheel and another Nokian. Aside from that, I’m going to put my Yakima roof box on before we leave and that’s about it. The box looked huge on the...
