    Dustin Jacksons 2008 Chevy Tahoe Build Thread

    An update, my wifes about 3,000 miles into the new transmission and all is good but the front main seal is leaking pretty good. She said the transmission hit 220 when she was driving to visit her mom in Oregon. I called the transmission shop and they asked me to drop it off. 2 days later they...

    2008 Suspension Upgrades - Bilstein's or Height Adjustable Shocks

    @usdlawstudent I just left my air hoses hanging, the compressor runs for a few seconds on startup and that's it no dash lights.

    Bilstein 6112 Review at 20,000 miles

    Bilstein make some darn good shocks that completely change the ride. I put a set of 5100s on Tahoe 6 years ago and put then on my suburban a few months ago. Turned both of them from boats into what I describe as "on rails" just a very confidence inspiring driving experience and they eat up bumps...

    2019 vs. 2007 hub compatibility??

    Rear driver side leaning

    That's interesting. The setup is pretty straight forward, with the rough country shocks the ride height is dictated by the height of the springs, if you went through 2 sets of rear springs and the problem persists I imagine you would have noticed anything wrong back there. How does the front look?

    2015 Suburban front end refresh

    I identified a loose lower balljoint and at 190,000 miles I figured it would be good to refresh it while I was in there. I opted to press in new lower balljoints because in my experience the lower control arm bushings are usually fine and I wanted to save some money. I have aluminum suspension...

    2015 Aluminum lower balljoint replacement

    Thanks guys. I used Moog CK on my 08 Tahoe and things didn’t last long, about 3-4 years. Now I’m running mevotech TTX and timken bearings on the Tahoe. Since making this post I did some research and settled for the brass moog lower balljoints and mevotech (non ttx) upper control arms, and then...

    2015 Aluminum lower balljoint replacement

    Had my 2015 suburban a few months now and it’s always had a shake but could never detect the cause. Today I jacked up the driver side wheel and found all kinds of lower balljoint play. Now I believe I have aluminum control arms and knuckles, are the lower balljoints replaceable or do I need to...

    (Partially solved, DOD delete is completed) Need help. DOD delete went south…

    @thefrey When you consider what's happening inside the motor they can be expected to make a little noise

    Low Oil Pressure

    @XLDenali11 That sounds fine to me, mine idles under the first line and gets around 40 when driving around.
