    Front suspension overhaul

    I did my front struts at 110K and 170K. I’d do the struts. Even if you just use Monroe. The 4W alignment will cost you more than 2X Monroe struts. Plenty of good options on your struts. I used Bilstein B4600. Regardless whether you do the shocks, don’t forget the bumps. Whenever the struts go...

    03 Tahoe first mod

    Yep “dubs” = 20. But I’m OG so maybe I got that lingo wrong. (DW laughs at me when I try to be Youngblood hip.) Good looking wheels. Keeping the diameter same on mine was important to me too. I probably will stick w this setup but I see some smoking deals on FB marketplace from time to time on...

    2004 Yukon XL Denali aftermarket Subwoofer Amplifier Install

    Powering the Amp Update : This weekend I finally got around to disconnecting the OEM amp from my 8” Polk Audio subwoofer and wired up a dedicated 1-Channel 300W subwoofer amp from Crutchfield’s store brand (Sound Ordnance) in my 2001. Don’t try to punch thru the firewall grommet on a GMT 800...

    Rear shock swap??

    Monroe and Bilstein both have a spring/strut kit but once you buy both you are in Nivomat price territory. If you can find a good one in the junkyard and just replace one, that’s a really good workaround till you get new. Good luck.

    03 Tahoe first mod

    I’m running 275/60/18 and same, has the 31-inch diameter to keep the Speedometer accurate. I don’t know that I’ll ever upgrade to Dubs, but it’s good to know.

    Need LED Turning SIGNAL HELP???

    Simple universal solution to resolve all LED flasher (and brake light/cruise-control) problems. Step 1- Remove LED and install incandescent. That is it. Seriously, I don’t understand the resistor workaround. It converts electrical energy into thermal energy, i.e. Heat. You end up with same...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    I thought long and hard about that cubby but ended up installing that same amp under the cup holder because was concerned about heat buildup. Are you going to install some type of louvre vent to get some air on there? Since the cooling fan is on the bottom you might want to ride it up just a...

    New '23 LS bare bones&and some questions

    Nice rig. Great outcome for a lemon-problem. Lemonade, right? Is there a workaround for the idle-stop? Best feature in DW’s Acura MDX is a push-button override.

    Tahoe saved our lives

    Glad everybody is OK. Fortunately you have the wisdom to see this for what it is: a life-changing event of good fortune. But we make our own luck, right? You made this good outcome by raising kids smart enough to all be buckled in; and selecting one of the safest autos on the road, with modern...

    Have any of you done the high-beam all headlights on mod? 4hi/6hi/8hi

    Ive also heard this works. Take the black ground wire from your low beam bulbs to ground (on the frame) is what I believe works for 4-Hi. Not 6-Hi, not fog lights. Seems like this must bypass a relay that opens the low beam circuit when high beams are on. Would be great to let us all know how...

    2001 Tahoe AC issue

    I replaced the failed AC Clutch Cycle Switch on my 2001 at 155K miles in 2016. I also replaced the Accumulator, Orifice Tube, and new Freon charge at same time. I really should have replaced the Compressor - it failed a few years later. So maybe look at the AC Clutch Cycle Switch? It was only a...

    Mechanic in DC/MD/VA area

    Old thread, I know. Bump. Years ago in 2010, I used Auto Solutions in Leesburg, VA for work on my 2001 GMC Yukon and found him to be honest, fair and proficient. My wife knew his wife; good people. True story - We were fixing up my truck to trade in on a 2010 Acura. He did a lot of the 100K...

    Attorneys Saying my 2023 Tahoe LT is a lemon and they ill represent me and get $100K over what I paid

    “We will make GM buy your used car that is running fine for $100K over what you paid for it.” And “Hello kind sir, of the goodness of your heart and wisdom. I am of the disfortunate nation of Farawayistan where my integrity persevering nephew has just has contacted 4,765,291 dollars $...

    This ACdelco Engine air filter with 27,500 miles, 4 years old..

    Filter is dirty / clogged after 4 years of hard work and it’s a filter problem? No words on this one.

    I Need An Education On Window Tint

    Hypothetically speaking … if you roll down your windows, turn the interior lights on and put your hands up on top of the steering wheel the officer is not going to say a word about your tint. He might want to chat w you about 86 in a 75 but out here in Arizona it’s pretty hard to get a speeding...

    Your opinions on this deal? Extended bumper-to-bumper warranty

    That’s a fair deal, but I would ask for 7/100 since you already have 7 years. 6 means you are leaving with a new truck and a 6 year warranty versus a new truck and 7 years. (Don’t mention the refund you will be keeping though). It’s as good as fair can be. When wife’s Acura RDX was sidelined...

    Need some GOOD Led headlight bulbs

    It’s been out for a year. Fairly common issue, but that’s a tough environment for any electronic component. It’s my next project. Remove the upper dash cap to access the sensor. Remove and replace. Might repaint the Pewter dash cap while I’m at it, but my dash is in good shape so the upside from...

    2000-2006 exterior LED bulbs

    LED tail light aka stop light will disable your cruise control. I have a thread up on this. Any flashing bulb will also do wacky stuff if you switch to LED, hyperflash. I use basic incandescent for everything except hi and lo bean headlight, reverse backup light, and center high stop light.

    Need some GOOD Led headlight bulbs

    I have these in my 2001 GMT800 Yukon. Had a problem w one bulb, sent a pic and they sent me a new full set. That was 6 months ago. Working perfectly now ever since. And come to think of it, since my ambient light sensor is failed, they are always on even in the Arizona summer heat. Huge upgrade...

    Didn’t Bernie Madoff say the same thing ?

    Monthly payments

    My recommendation is bring a spreadsheet like this with you, two columns bid and offer. I don’t have any problem with dealer asking for local market mark-up’s above MSRP but I sure think they should be transparent about them.
