    Steering wheel off center

    Six months ago I got an alignment on my Tahoe. It tracks straight, doesn't pull, and drives great, and the steering wheel was dead center when driving straight. Recently I noticed a leak in the steering box. I replaced it with a reman that is tight and doesn't leak. WHen I replaced it I was...

    2007 vs 2009 brake upgrade

    I agree about oem upgrades, I have done similar big brake upgrades on past cars including a Camry, Regal, and Forester, all by using oem parts from other models. Mine is a 06 rwd Tahoe, I have upgraded to 17's, but don't think I will go any bigger due to cost. Fortunately I already have efans...

    2007 vs 2009 brake upgrade

    I preparing to do the NNBS front brake upgrade. I have found many helpful threads and videos. One thing though i have found little info on. Although all 2007-2020 Tahoes seem to use the same rotors and pads, 2007-08 seems to have its own unique part number for front calipers 18FR2246N/18FR2247N...

    MPG & Power Increase? 2001 model

    Don't forget tires! All-terrain tires have a higher rolling resistance which will decrease mpg, power and handling and increase stopping distance on dry pavement, as compared to highway tires.

    2006 Tahoe suspension replacement

    Welcome, my truck is close to being a twin- black 2006 with RWD (yours looks a little more optioned than mine though!) I am replacing my rear leaking Nivomats with Bilstein 4600, have liked them in everything else I have put them in. Also swapping the springs with Moog 81071 springs. The 81069...

    Looking for thicker OEM Sway-bars

    Thanks for the responses. I saw both of those. The picture of the Mevotech you linked to looks nothing like our swaybars. If you look at the interchange part number, it matches a Chevy Astro with RWD. If you look up other pictures of Astro swaybars, they match that picture. So there is a mistake...

    Looking for thicker OEM Sway-bars

    I have upgraded swaybars on pretty much every vehicle I have owned, but am perplexed by the huge markup on the bars these days, their price increases over the years seem to have substantially outpaced inflation (though I have no doubt that Hellwig, Eibach, Belltech, Nolathane, etc bars would be...

    4x4 rear axle in a rwd Tahoe?

    Thanks guys! And thanks Marky for the edit! This car is not my daily driver but more of a weekend and vacation cruiser so 3.73's should be about right. I am also running slightly smaller diameter tires, so it will be about equivalent to a 3.80 with the stock size tire. It sounds like the GMT900...

    4x4 rear axle in a rwd Tahoe?

    Hello one upgrade I am pondering for my 2006 Tahoe is a gear swap. 3.23's paired witha 4.8 doesn't exactly result in breathtaking off the line performance, not to mention all the downshifts at highway speed. It is looking like an axle swap might me more economical way to get 3.73's in there than...

    Third Row Seat Compatability Question

    My 2006 Tahoe came without the third row seat. It has the mounting points on the floor, and since plenty of people seem to be selling their lightly used seats for cheap I figured I'd pick some up. I was watching some youtube videos to make sure I understood how to mount them, and noticed they...

    Front Impact Sensor Interchange

    The Airbag warning light is on in my 2006 Tahoe, and it is throwing B0104 “Discard Front End Sensor 2 (Right)” so looking at the right sensor, it looks like either part number 10370149 or 15103522 are listed for 2005-06 trucks. Part 15057506 is externally identical, but is listed for 2003-04...

    Mystery Mirror Connectors

    Mystery solved! I finally had some time to tackle this, and what it looks like, is that the wires that I posted at the beginning of this thread were the internal wiring from inside the mirror itself, and when they replaced the power mirror with a manual mirror, they just yanked the wires out of...

    Mystery Mirror Connectors

    Alright thanks guys, sounds like there is definitely something funny going on here. I will pick up a new mirror and then from there work to get it connected to my car. Is there any wisdom in regards to a used OEM mirror vs a brand new aftermarket mirror?

    Mystery Mirror Connectors

    Nope, no wiring diagrams, if you have any you could share that would be great! So from looking at pictures it seems like I need a couple of 10-pin male connectors, with a few inches of wire. Does that sound right?

    Mystery Mirror Connectors

    So I am brand new to the forum and to the world of Tahoes. Just picked up a 2006 Tahoe 2wd with 109k miles and almost (but not quite) no rust, for a really good price. However, it needs a bunch of stuff like a water pump, AC compressor, rear shocks, etc which I have no problem doing myself. The...
