    Is Dealer Blowing Smoke Up My....?

    on that era the module will only read the light/bulb resistance. and yes some aftermarket lights have junk bulbs. I would look into the plug end where the corrosion happened. Since this post is months old I'm sure you found and fixed the problem by now.

    Fiberglass Front Fenders on Tahoe

    The rear fenders may end up being another application customized by you. Since you would be changing all four corners you have more options as long as they all compliment eachother. It could be a cool project. I have done ground kits like that before and they always make me think i should have...

    91 octane vs e85 in flex fuel Tahoe/suburban?

    I am also in Florida, The part of ethanol that causes condensate is Air. as long as your system is tight and keeps all areas filled with fuel things are good.

    2011 5.3 engine noise, lend me your ears

    It sounds like its more to the front of the motor. It may just be the video. if its more to the front it would be the timing chain tensioner/guides. They are plastic and break when their old.

    6.2 valve spring replacement sign of things to come?

    The repair shop should be able to tell you how many springs were replaced and hopefully why. Without buying it and testing things yourself you stuck depending on peoples honesty. Are you mechanically inclined? You can also scan the engine and see of old codes are still stored. look for bolts...

    91 octane vs e85 in flex fuel Tahoe/suburban?

    In my Wifes 2015 Tahoe Flex fuel What I have learned is E85 is not good in a sitting tank or system. It will condensate quickly and then will rust a sitting system. We run it if the tahoe is always being used. The overnight and cold weather start ups and the smell you get is the condensate...

    2008 Tahoe Z71 Rebuild - DOD Failure - DOD/AFM Delete & Performance Upgrades (201k miles)

    Mevotech makes some nice suspension parts that are real upgrades to GM parts. Also as far as rear end look into Truetracks, they are nice tough limited slips that lock up solid. They use a different oil though, be aware of that. Lastly, look into Tick Performance for cams, they have a nice line...
