    Door handle suggestion

    Questions before buying the A-premium ones: Are the nutserts in metal or plastic? (so far all three handle failures were with the nutsert). If the A-premium nutsert is in plastic, does it seem any stronger than the cheap all plastic handles? Has anyone tried pouring epoxy around the plastic...

    Oil Filter efficiency

    Ahh the oil filter rabbit hole. Oil filters don't filter all that fine, but it is a trade off for flow. Yes a dirty filter will filter finer particles but it also has more restriction, which increases as it gets dirtier. You'd need a differential pressure gauge to tell you when the filter was...

    AFM... to retain or to delete?

    Similar to you I bought a used 2013 Tahoe knowing nothing about AFM. I thought I made a huge mistake buying the thing when AFM cut the cylinders out and the exhaust note changed dramatically. I assumed it was an intermittent ignition or fuel problem. Until you decide how to permentally disable...

Consider that a rough measurement...

    Brake upgrade experts: questions

    Well stock 5 spoke 20” rims do not clear. They hit the caliper on the hub part of the rim. The back of the spokes might hit if the hub part didn’t hit first. Pictures below.

    Brake upgrade experts: questions

    Yes the rear works with the parking brake since the original rotor with the drum inside the hat is used. https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/are-the-dual-piston-rear-calipers-noticeably-better.153526/

    Brake upgrade experts: questions

    All good points! I checked the calipers for free movement when we got the Tahoe and all the wheels had to come off to clean the bead seats (common corrosion issue around here causing very slow air loss). The Harbor Freight tire changer worked like a champ on the 20’s, though it does need some...

    Brake upgrade experts: questions

    We bought the Tahoe a couple of years ago for family outings and to do some towing. The braking has always seemed lacking since we got it. The right side front is metal to metal on the inboard pad while the outboard pad still has plenty of friction material. The left front pads and rotor look...

    Brake upgrade experts: questions

    2013 Tahoe on stock 20s needs brakes. I'm trying to understand the different front upgrade options and remember physics. Caliper specifications according to the official GM part info on the rock auto website and some math, rotor weights from GM parts website. Stock 2013 2 piston caliper total...

    RIP old friend (Hwy crash and totaled 07 Tahoe)

    What a bummer in every way possible. Hope it eventually works out for you. Being impounded is also something people don't think about. I had a car stolen and when it was recovered it went to the impound lot. I went there and looked in the car where there were still some personal items. The...

    Receiver height too high, add PPV receiver?

    Yep, to pull the car hauler I bought a Curt 17302 WD hitch and had to get a drawbar with a lower drop and it still doesn't get down to the 15" coupler height because the ball mount is so high on the wd assembly. The stock receiver on the Tahoe is over 23" high which is just stupid. Pickups used...

    Receiver height too high, add PPV receiver?

    The stock receiver is way too high for every trailer I'll pull and some trailers need more drop than any of the drawbars I own. I see no aftermarket receivers that mount under the frame. Does anyone know if an under frame receiver for a PPV or SSV will bolt on? Etrailer has a receiver for the...

    GM Tech2 is a versatile diagnostic scanner

    Thanks for the info guys! Unfortunately it is most likely a problem with the plug on the candi interface. The tech 2 cord plugs in to all but one of the adapters fine. One adapter and the candi connection stop just shy of being fully seated. The cable connections being a problem was unexpected...

    GM Tech2 is a versatile diagnostic scanner

    Um, website not exist anymore lol. Figured this was a good a place as any to ask about the cables the clones come with. They SUCK! The Tech2 to CANDI connection is the worst and will not fully seat. It gives a loss of communication error if it isn't jammed together as far as it will go (which...
