2011 Tahoe LT 2nd row bench for bucket swap
Looking to swap the 2nd row bench in my 2011 Chevy Tahoe LT for a pair of buckets. They are Black/Ebony Leather (mint condition), non power, non heated. Anyone have a line on where to get a good set, at a decent price? Anyone have buckets but would rather have a bench? What could I sell this... -

I have a unique problem on my 2007 Tahoe with a Z71 package and 200 000miles
Check the U-Joints? 200,000 miles, probably need replaced anyhow. :)- lamerem

Rear end clunk and shifting when turning!
Okay, slight update here! I was driving behind the wife today and noticed more than usual side to side motion on the rear of the Tahoe. Would this be caused by worn Sway bar bushings and/or links? I planned on replacing these anyway, but should I be focusing on another part that would cause...- lamerem

Shock & Strut information NEEDED!!! HELP
I don't have the air ride, that would be the Z55 RPO code. I actually (according to the RPO sticker in the glove box) have the ZW7 RPO code meaning Premium Smooth Ride Suspension. What this is, (or was supposed to be) is a Nivomat Self Leveling shock (it levels itself mechanically without air...- lamerem

Leaking Transmission lines to the radiator!
Do you think the flare on the original line with clamps will be enough to keep it from blowing off at 75 mph?- lamerem

Leaking Transmission lines to the radiator!
Decent idea, but I'm not sure I want to constantly stress the rubber hose into bending at the radiator. Could lead to further issues down the road. But I could probably use that fitting on both ends of the rubber hose. Then have the corresponding female fittings on each side of the trans...- lamerem

What are you guys running for brakes
If your wife brakes hard then maybe look at cross drilled and slotted rotors. I plan on using Duralast Gold Rotors from Autozone as they are a high carbon steel as opposed to normal and factory low carbon steel. They are also Z coated and resist rusting around the edge and hub areas (for you...- lamerem

Leaking Transmission lines to the radiator!
Oh do you mean a piece of hard line with a hose barb on one end and a nut on the other? Then just put a male end on the other portion and flare it. I could use brake ling fittings, they withstand a heck of a lot more pressure than the transmission cooler lines. This is a fantastic idea, I...- lamerem

Shock & Strut information NEEDED!!! HELP
Update Just called another dealer (one I actually like to do business with) and he said according to the VIN the truck has a conventional shock absorber in the rear, not Nivomat. So do I assume the springs are normal? I called Autozone and the sell the Bilstein 5100 shock 24-187237 and he...- lamerem

2011 Tahoe Problems...?
I can address a few of your questions: 1. The operating range of an automobile alternator is (13.3v - 15.5v). So while you are on the upper end of the spectrum you certainly aren't out of order. The standard alternator puts out high, and can only be fully tested under total load. ie...- lamerem

Leaking Transmission lines to the radiator!
I have a 2011 Tahoe LT 4WD. Noticed some leaking around the crimp on the lines from the transmission to the radiator. I could replace them for $80 but I'd like a more permanent fix. It is just a bad design, I don't like the crimps. I have seen where a fellow cut the hard line right before...- lamerem

Rear end clunk and shifting when turning!
This may be due to the shock issue in my previous post but wanted to give its own identity. This only happens at one particular intersection. I come up to the stop sign and the pavement slopes downward. As I am turning right onto the level pavement from the sloped pavement the rear end...- lamerem

Shock & Strut information NEEDED!!! HELP
Not quite sure what happened to my last to replies. But I'll recap! ---------- Post added at 06:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:35 PM ---------- Spoke with GM today and confirmed the truck has the ZW7 option and that it was originally built with the Nivomat Premium Smooth Ride...- lamerem

Shock & Strut information NEEDED!!! HELP
On the phone with Chevrolet right now and the rep says the truck was built with Premium Smooth Ride suspension. Yet the dealer looks up the VIN and prices me out normal shocks for replacements. Ugh, the shocks on it now are blue ACDELCO and look 4 years old. So here is a great question...- lamerem

Shock & Strut information NEEDED!!! HELP
It's weird to me how the dealer seams to be pricing out the normal shock according to my vin number though. I would think they would see it was Premium Smooth Ride, right? Some folks have said if the truck was equipped with Nivomat from the factory and then replaced with regular then it would...- lamerem

Shock & Strut information NEEDED!!! HELP
Alright new to the group, but here it goes. A couple of suspension questions. I have a 2011 Tahoe LT 4WD! Roughly 75,000 miles on it and runs great, a little bouncy and have a thump noise when the rear end shocks get extended to far. My diagnoses shocks are worn and warrant replacement...- lamerem
