    Homemade bumper anyone??

    I have been thinking about building my own front bumper, and possibly a rear. Anyone done this before and if so what does it look like and what did you use? I like the look of the winch bumpers...but they are way to $pendy for me, plus i don't really need a winch... i was just thinking of...

    how to install an air bag clock spring??

    ok, a long time ago i took the intermediate steering shaft off to get the grease back to the top. during that process, the steering wheel spun and the air bag clock spring broke. So, since the wife is pregnant, and she now drives the tahoe because she lost her job and just runs errands...i...

    Synthetic oil question

    The full synthetic I run in my tahoe, as well as, sell to my oil change customers is made by American oil. I believe some of it is private labelled under the MAG1 brand name. It costs me like $3.00/qt and is just as good as Valvoline Synpower or Mobil 1(i have the spec sheets every spec is...

    Locking Rear diff question

    I don't think these trucks had a factory "locker" option. I believe it is the limited slip gov lock unit. Which is for the most part a limited slip(it has clutches) but has a lock of some sort but that is only supposed to work at low speeds, if it works at all. My 04 tahoe lt has this option...

    airbag light

    Does your dash say service air bag, where you normally have your odometer? Mine did that after i wrecked my clock spring in the steering wheel. (yeah, i spun the steering wheel shaft too far while it was disconnected DOH!). the only way to really know would be to have someone read the code...

    Exhaust tips

    I got my tip from Summit Racing...they sell a lot of different brands, but i picked up a summit brand stainless steel tip for like $30. I got a single outlet exhaust system, so i have a 3" to 5" stanless tip with a rolled edge.

    Coil over shocks, anyone have them??

    How long are the factory shocks? That would give a starting point for the length of the coil over. How much spring would one need for the front end?

    Coil over shocks, anyone have them??

    Wondering if a person could put a set of coil over shocks up front and get rid of the torsion bars that are stock on our front suspension? I know they make some lift kits that eliminate the torsion bars by putting in coil overs. Just wondering if it is an option with out having to put in the...

    What else to replace when I put in my new cam?

    Can someone explain the difference in timing chains/gear sets?? What is a true roller, vs what was in a stock motor? How is it better? Just asking cause i dont know, and because of the price difference. The cam i am looking at 54-424-11 has a valve lift of .558/.563. (1400-6700rpm range)so...
