    Interesting Oil Tech Videos

    4000 miles give or take 500. My problem is I only put about 600 miles a month on so it takes me six months to hit that. With my previous vehicle (the Jeep) I usually did oil changes twice a year, once in the fall and once in the spring. With the R&P and this Tahoe, I may shorten that up a...

    Interesting Oil Tech Videos

    I'm intrigued by the whole Valvoline Restore and Protect thing. At first I thought this guy was just a shill for Valvoline but he seems to be trying really hard to distance himself from those rumors lately. Plus, everywhere you go online (theres a great thread over on Bob Is the Oil Guy) people...

    4l60 vs 6l80

    That's what I did almost every day before I got my tune. It's just not a long term solution. The aggressive downshifting is just too much after a while.

    4l60 vs 6l80

    You won't lose any top end with 3.73's, especially with a 6-speed transmssion with a lockup converter. I've swapped three Crown Vics from 3.27 or 3.55 to 4.10 and never lost any top end and that's with a 4-speed auto (well, one had a 5-speed manual). Granted the Ford 4.6 modular has a slightly...

    4l60 vs 6l80

    My 2012 with the 6L80 was awful with it's 3.08's. I owned the truck for precisely three months before I absolutely had to do something, so I spent a good chunk of change on a DiabLEW tune. So far, the tune has worked wonders and the truck is actually pleasant to drive now. It's not quick or fast...

    Blobs' 2014 Tahoe SSV Build & History

    Truck looks great, I like what you've done with it. Is the leveling kit on yet or did you just stuff those big meats on at stock height? Either way it has a great stance.

    PPV Poor Turning Radius

    At the end of the day, it's a Tahoe. You can't change physics.

    2009-2014 6L80 better than 2015+?

    Seems very logical Chris, I appreciate that and agree 100% with your course of action. Problem is most days I don't have time to take a dump, let alone pre-emptively change out my torque converter so...we wait.

    Who has the most miles on their 07-14 SUV?

    That I can't help you with. My transmission shop just included one they said was billet with a reman 6L80 for a total of $5500. Ouch. That truck is now gone (not because of the trans but because it started to ROT OUT at 8 years old).

    Who has the most miles on their 07-14 SUV?

    They disintegrate with heat and age, sending metal fragments circulating through the rest of the transmission and subsequently destroying it. Poor design/construction and transmission shifting activity programmed toward smoothness, fuel economy and easing the harshness of the AFM system is what...

    Who has the most miles on their 07-14 SUV?

    It seems to me that if you can avoid rust and corrosion issues (like someone else said this depends on where you live), and you do a good AFM delete and address the torque converter, there's not really much keeping these things from going indefinitely. Kinda like a Crown Vic and other very well...

    [FOUND] Wanted: PPV steelies with caps

    Will do! I ended up getting a set for a K2 with the black caps, and then I bought a set of the chrome caps because I can't decide which is going to look better.

    Tailgate / Liftgate compatibility

    I messed up big time yesterday and backed into my garage wall with my truck. I dented the tailgate up badly. I am looking for a replacement and finding a lot of "power liftgate" ones. My truck came with a manual liftgate. Will a power liftgate bolt in assuming I retain my manual lift struts or...

    [FOUND] Wanted: PPV steelies with caps

    Sorry. I'd consider GMT900 or K2 versions. None of what you posted is what I'm looking for.
