    Suspension Squats when loaded down

    Well for starters, you're squatting so bad because the truck is missing a couple hundred pounds with the front bumper removed. The 2 inch lift also contributes to the squat. Your truck originally came with Nivomat self-adjusting shocks out back (ZW7 paired with G65). Judging by those photos...

    2013 Denali with 6.2 prone to burn oil?

    My 5.3 has always consumed oil when my wife drives it. She routinely spins the motor up past 3,500 rpms pulling away from every traffic light. I don't drive so aggressively and consequently don't burn much oil if any. The previous owner may have been a cheapskate and ran 87 octane gas in that...

    6L80E compability?

    @NickTransmissions At the very least, the back of the transmission is going to be different as yours is set up for AWD. The output shaft may be of a different spline count. Nick will know all that.

    Useless Information

    Definitely was going to get the snorkel too! They used to make it for our GMT900 SUVs but now only the pickups. On some forms of media he does come across that way or used to so he could appeal to a certain demographic I guess. Most of his newer Youtube videos are more matter of fact and...

    Useless Information

    Huh, my memory was that a better flowing airbox did nothing until the engine was making over 350-375 horsepower. Then again, he tests on an engine dyno with headers and his baseline junkyard engines are making about 375 horsepower at the flywheel if I remember right. I was going to get a...

    Useless Information

    Was that with a stock 5.3 or a modified or larger engine? Recent video? Haven't watched him in a while.

    2015 Tahoe blend door

    If your airbox is the same as the previous generations, it's in the passenger footwell near the transmission hump.

    Useless Information

    Late last year one of my cousins was diagnosed with bone marrow and blood cancer. He went home to be with the Lord two nights ago. My wife, children and I had been driving 200-300 miles a day to visit with him and all the family that drove and flew into town. Trucks ran great through 105...

    [Solved] What/where does this go to?

    The bundle of wires can hook up to your underhood fuse box to power your trailer's "hotel" services, like lights, fridge, battery, etc. Once hooked up, it transfers power through the 7-pin whether the engine is running or not so beware. As for the connector, I "think" it's for the Z55 strut on...

    Passenger Seat Frame Removal & Replacement

    Have ordered a lot through GMPartsGiant. Have had cancelled orders, incorrect or missing items and slow (to me) shipping. They always corrected any errors, just move a little slower than we're used to. I appreciate their website and that of GMPartsDirect and others like them and try to send a...

    Passenger Seat Frame Removal & Replacement

    You ought to be able to get the right part number from GMPartsGiant. The instructions for R&R can be found via subscription at AllDataDIY. Did mine three years ago. Center console has to come out to get at the inner bolts/nuts if memory serves. Not a hard job, just heavy. Once out, we...
