    2004 Yukon - Feels like Ice Skating - HELP!

    That sounds like kind of the opposite to what was done to my old 92 2500 Suburban. Tire shop said they couldn’t align it properly and needed suspension work. Prior to the work it damn near turned like a compact car, but I believe the sway bar was replaced which stabilized the suspension better...

    Plug and play seat swap

    I’m really sure there are no seat-mounted airbags in these but as mentioned the occupancy sensor needs to be addressed, and I didn’t see that anyone mentioned that the seatbelt sensors need to be connected or bypassed.

    Looking to move on from an Excursion

    I have a few different Holy Grail suggestions: 800: 1) 2005-06 Suburban 2500. The 8.1l would be the most comparable to your 7.3l Excursion and there were a lot of new features in the 2003-04 with increased issues. But these wouldn’t fit your airbag request as the side impact airbags are just in...

    First suburban

    Unfortunately it was done about 15 years ago. Best I can recall the shocks were Bilsteins, but can’t remember the keys. It lost a fraction of mpg but I thought it drove the same and looked better leveled.

    First suburban

    Nice looking ‘03. On my 2002 Z71 Tahoe I did new keys and front shocks to level the front rather than shock spacers as I felt it provided the stronger option for off road use.

    Rims for sale?

    I have the OEMs that I took off my 2009 Tahoe LTZ 6.2L when swapped to black 17s … but I think they’re only 20s, though 22s were an available option. Right bolt pattern but I’d have to double check the diameter.

    The New V8 Engines are coming!

    Slightly off topic but so many of these issues seem connected to the unnecessary separation between GM Trucks & GM SUVs. Even stupid stuff like lights & mirrors require differences for no real reason … and they don’t recognize it can impact long-term resale value due to...

    The New V8 Engines are coming!

    But there are two different methods to use hybrid power: 1) Plug-in hybrid engine provides small charge to large battery for electric motors to run off battery pack. Primary power is from plug-in batteries. Fuel-based motor & regenerative braking serve as a range extenders. 2) Independent hybrid...

    Boost Power Folding Towing Mirror Installation/Review

    Ok, you’re selling me on them again. I’m not worried about seeing my truck as long as I can see the motorcycle next to me.

    The New V8 Engines are coming!

    But my opinion is that they’re all doing hybrid wrong. A small diesel motor geared only to an alternator and running all the time with a normal battery supplying power to an electric drive system would provide more than enough power and not even need a regenerative braking system. The fuel...

    Boost Power Folding Towing Mirror Installation/Review

    So just finishing the thought… Your Trail Ridge mirrors are reported to be essentially OEM and the viewing angle on the Boost Auto mirrors show more truck / less side lane then what you had? Shoot… I was looking for the same thing then and I already think the angle isn’t great with the OEM.

    Boost Power Folding Towing Mirror Installation/Review

    Did you ever have OEM towing mirrors? The available viewing angle / field of vision isn’t great in them either, but I’d be interested to know how this & OEM compares. This is also on my want list for my 2500.

    [SOLVED] USB port issue?

    My guess is that if it wasn’t a change in the iOS in general, it was a change in the Music app. I use an old iPhones that I leave in the trucks for stored music & books on tape (I swapped in a 2010 OEM Nav radio into my 2009 Tahoe). But mine still work fine as the iOS isn’t getting updated.

    Key Fobs?

    Actually I’d recommend you look at BoostAuto aftermarket key fobs. https://boostautoparts.com/collections/retrofit-key-fobs?year=2010&make=Chevy&model=Suburban These are what I got for my 2010 Suburban to differentiate its keys from my 2009 Tahoe. Simple subjective opinion but I think the range...
