    How much lift do I have?

    The tires are Mickey baja. What forced me to get tires now (other than wife) was one of the tires failed. A crack appeared from one of the tread down the inside wall to rim, just split wide open. Wasn't off-road or curbing it or anything, cracked overnight... I was surprised that happened with...

    How much lift do I have?

    Thanks! I was hoping that it was just a spacer and not new springs/ Struts, etc. I'm def going to get alignment after adjusting stance. Another thing that threw me off on what's on it was the quality of feel in steering, it's crazy squirrelly. Maybe it was just the tires? Now to find the right...

    How much lift do I have?

    I'm trying to figure out what is on it so I can remove it. She doesn't like the lift and now that she's pregnant it makes it hard to get in and out. I'm about to buy new tires and want to remove the lift or level when I do - I just don't know what I need to remove. If it's just a front level...

    How much lift do I have?

    I purchased this 2010 LT Tahoe for my wife and it has 305/60R18 on it. I'm guessing it has about 2.5 inches of lift on front and by the look of the rear strut, about an inch on the rear. Does anyone recognize what exactly is on here and how much lift it's providing?

    TC-W3 2 stroke oil additive in gas questions

    Ok, so I was reading through the threads dealing with sea foaming the hoe and came across a link to a different forum. This forum was like 46 pages with people raving about adding 1oz Penzoil marine 2 stroke oil to every 5 gallons of gas as ann additive that is better than seafoam. I read...

    tow/haul

    2000 Chevy Tahoe LT, 5.3L, 4WD. Tow/haul randomly turns on and button does not work when I want it too. Sometimes stays on for days and kills my mileage. Is the switch going bad or an actuator in tranny?? Anyone else had this problem?

    Driver Side Window Grinding Noise

    I bought my hoe used and I never noticed it test driving but a few days into ownership, I kept noticing this sliding/grinding noise and a subtle pop at the start of rolling down the driver side front window.... Turned out the seller thought someone had stolen his "for sale sign" days prior...

    my 2000 is running lean

    It's because of techs like you at the dealerships that I'm on this forum to learn it and do it myself. I know GM over estimates their charging times, but a 3 hour job in 10 minutes... You must do so many cause everyone has to come back to have it fixed 2 or 3 times. Thanks for confirming my...

    after break job strange noise

    I replaced all pads and rotors. Blead brakes filled with new fluid. I have now noticed when in a slow (approx 15-20mph) sharp turn, I hear a a sound from front brakes that sound like pads rubbing the rotors, its not a screaching or grinding. Any one heard this before or have a clue what it...

    Funny thing is that was the conclusion i came too so I was all prepared, remove that old bleed screw and went to rush and throw in the new one and no fluid came out... the bottom of the old bleed screw had corroded to the caliper and that was why I couldnt break the bleed screw loose, not cause...
