    2007 Suburban 2500 Suspension torque specs?

    For shocks, good and tight works. Just a few ugga-dugga's on the 1/2" impact is good enough. You're just trying to hold it in place, squish the tabs close to the bushing and viola! You don't want to squeeze the bushing to death, it needs some movement. I would assume it has a metal insert to...

    Is Dealer Blowing Smoke Up My....?

    Electricity doesn't care if it's OEM or aftermarket if all things are equal. If you went from LED to incandescent, or regular bulb to a HID setup, then you may have issues with the circuitry based on load, etc. But, again, if like for like was replaced, then I don't see how an OEM one will...

    Fuel efficiency drop in newer models ?

    Another thing to add is this: most new engines have a richer running break-in period from new. Based on miles and time. The calibration is set to this to help protect the motor, seat the rings, etc. After 5k you will probably see more realistic numbers.

    Fuel efficiency drop in newer models ?

    CAFE requirements have probably driven new calibrations "for cleaner exhaust" that is usually achieved by burning more fuel and incorporating timing changes (it's absurd, but true). I'm sure there is additional weight on these newer vehicles due to increased crash protection requirements. And...

    Child windows over ride?

    Depending on the year, I don't think there's enough room in the door to go all the way down with the wheel well curvature

    It thank it's time to put it on a lift and look it over. CV axles possibly. Haven you tried moving the front tires to the rear and see if it follows?

    Of all the options presented, I have done both on my 2017. Used a RANGE for 100k. It worked just fine. Then bought HP tuners and turned it off because I wanted to poke around more in depth. I have a RANGE for sale of interested. PM me if you want more info.

    Update: Brand new Tahoe left me broke down in heavy traffic

    I'd say you are the current golf score winner on this topic if it is bearing related. What a total bummer....

    How did you check the trans? Idling, hot, on level ground in park? Does the vibration change with RPM, or just speed? Have you tried running it through lower gears (keeping it in 2nd, then 3rd) to eliminate 4th?

    Yukon vs Wagoneer Comparison

    Very nice write-up. Thanks for sharing. I had a wagoneer rental for a week this summer. I was impressed with the driving characteristics and the smooth power of the motor. The 8 speed trans was butter. I personally hated the center stack that controls everything via a touch screen.....just...

    2022 Denali 6.2 Oil Consumption Test

    Request 5w-30 and stick with that would be my recommendation. It's an oil they keep in bulk for most other older and commercial vehicles.

    LZ1 Hybrid 6.0 into Normal Truck

    I'm assuming you have the 6 speed trans, and 3.08 gears are a pooch......good for cruising nonstop to Florida with the wife and 2 suitcases. My Denali has the 6.2L and 3.42 gears and I can tell you that it'll tow a 5k trailer fairly well, but only up to 5th gear depending on wind drag. More...

    Pictures of Michelin defender on 22 rims

    I can say the Bridgestone Alenza tires on 22 inch wheels ride nice when new......but that doesn't last long. By the time they are near their end life, the ride is complete garbage. The lack of sidewall makes for a rough ride as well and will kill the front struts. (2017 Denali, 160k, 3rd set...

    LZ1 Hybrid 6.0 into Normal Truck

    Interesting concept. Personally, I don't have any experience with any hybrid GM setup, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. A lightweight 6.0L is a sweet option for something outside the hybrid vehicle. What size load are you towing? What's your axle ratio? It could be as simple as a gear...

    Wassup. Finally gotta fix some things

    I don't know that I'd be excited about "finally needing some work." Personally, I'm not ever excited about "having to fix" anything, but I do enjoy doing good preventative maintenance. I'm assuming that's what you are implying? Welcome to the forum.

    2022 Denali 6.2 Oil Consumption Test

    No, that's not normal. But unfortunately, since COVID, everything in this world is an overpriced POS in my book. I've owned 5 yukons with 6.2L engines and none of them ever used oil (except for one that cracked a piston, 2009 model which was a lemon in my book). My newest is a 2017, so the...

    Looks awesome man! Thank you for sharing. I've been thinking of similar ideas, but yours looks great. I will keep this in mind for next year's adventures.

    8L90 1,2 Shift Issue

    Could be, the line pressure was probably increased for tow/haul. When was it serviced last? I'd recommend a drop the pan, replace the filter, and fill with new fluid. Has it had the TSB fluid flush performed? If it's mostly the original fluid in the pan, you may have issues due to that...

    Lifter tick or normal noises?

    Definitely sounds like a lifter tick. There are lots of posts here about that. Various options for repair as well. The high pitched noise is hard to decipher - you might have to crawl up on the front and move yourself around to see if you can find the most prominent area. Then post back and we...

    Coil Replacement… They should be ashamed.

    Interesting on the miles. I have 160k on my 2017 and it has original coils. Plugs replaced at 100k, original wires. It's odd to me to see coils go bad at such a young age. I know it can happen, its a man-made device, it just seems odd based on all the LS engines I've put shit tons of miles on...

    Coil Replacement… They should be ashamed.

    That's pathetic.......and they wonder why people call them Stealerships. My conscience is too clean to run a business that way, but man if I ever change my tune, I can make some good cash preying on the uneducated/uninformed motorists.

    07 Tahoe adding 100v plug outlet (like 2015)

    I just hillbillied mine in with 2 wires and a fuse run from the battery, through the passenger door area (checked for a non-pinch area first), then in along the weather stripping, along the dash bottom, and screwed to the console trim panel. It's a Schumacher 410 model with (2) 120v, and (2)...

    Importance of y pipe

    An X pipe at minimum is what I would suggest of you wanted to run true duals. There is exhaust balancing that happens with an Y or X pipe. Plus, true duals with no cross pipe of any kind can sound stupid, or like a 4 banger if one side is muffled (side exit tips are usually prone to this...
