    Matte black grille installed

    Hey all. Been a while since I've dropped by so I figured I'd post this up here for everyone's reference. About 18 months ago I decided to black out all the chrome on my truck with plastidip. I did the emblems and grille surround, and it turned out great. Fast forward to now, and two Colorado...

    Any experience w/ Discount Tire's MB line of wheels?

    Anyone have an opinion on Discount Tire's line of MB Wheels? Not looking for bling, happy with my 285-70-17 Terra Grapplers. I've painted my stock wheels matte black w/ plastidip, which is holding up beautifully after about 6 months, but I know as soon as I take my truck in to get the tires...

    Elway Chevy in Englewood, CO

    Just a quick anecdote from earlier today. I know that most of us have horror stories about getting ripped off at the dealership, but today I had a very pleasant experience at John Elway Chevy on Broadway in Englewood. I'm about to change out my front/rear diff gear oil and transfer case fluid...

    Traction control/stabilitrak off issue

    Traction control/stabilitrak off issue **Update: Solved, see 1st post edit** The other day when driving back to work from Home Depot, the traction control off/service stabilitrak lights lit up on the Tahoe. I pulled into the gas station, filled up, and hoped it was a fluke. Upon going to...

    Autolamps sensor overly sensitive?

    I've noticed that the autolamp function on my Tahoe seems to be really sensitive in comparison to all the other cars I've owned with the same feature. Even during relatively bright mornings and evenings, it likes to kick on the headlamps for no reason; I see other Tahoes of the same vintage...

    285-70-17 NTG's installed on stock 17s

    This is the result of me taking a few measurements and answering my own question about the largest tire we could stick on the stock wheels with no lift. When I bought the truck, the dealership had gone the cheap route and only replaced two of the tires. The problem was that the truck had...

    17" tire options?

    Hey guys. Curious about some tire options for the OEM 17" wheels. I guess I'm old school and really don't care for the look of the newer 18-20" wheels on a lifted 4x4. I'm probably going to stick w/ the OEM 17" wheels for a while, then upgrade to either OEM 17" steel PPV wheels, or maybe...

    Fix for P0446?

    Tahoe popped a CEL the other day, the folks at Advanced scanned it for me and it came back as P0446, Evaporative Emission Control System Vent Control Circuit Malfunction. ECM logged the code 3 times. I have found a video on youtube that says Chevy had this problem with 00-07 trucks and...

    Liftgate exterior window switch replacement - I'm stuck!

    Liftgate exterior window switch replacement Stopped by the local dealership and got a new exterior window switch for the liftgate. No idea how, but the previous owner managed to tear the button clean off so I have to use a pen to reach up in there and pop the glass. I have pulled the interior...

    Upgraded to an NNBS Tahoe!

    Whats going on guys. Long time member of the site, hung out primarily in the NBS forum back when I had my '00 Yukon. Still rocking my 02 Suburban but it's on it's last legs at 250K. I had a mildly built 100 series Toyota Land Cruiser (2000 model year), which was a beast off road, but the older...

    What kind of t-case does this thing have?

    Hey ladies and gents. Stopping in for a couple of reasons: 1. Looking at getting rid of the Toyota and getting back into an NBS Tahoe/Yukon (GOD I miss my Yukon...) which leads me to 2. I was looking at AutoTrader and ran across this Yukon, and the ad says it's 4WD...then I stumbled across...

    Rear diff and axle shot at 236K

    Well, dropped the burb off at the dealership to have them diagnose a loud pop followed by a repetative ticking/clunking noise. Turns out one of the brake backing plates came loose and a chunk got torn off, which was making contact with the wheel (hence the repetative noise). While back there...

    I'm baaaaaack!

    Back w/ an 02 Suburban - update w/ pics Whats up everyone! Been about 6 months since I sold my Yukon, which I still miss...but the current economy sort of provided an interesting opportunity for some car-swapping amongst my wife's family, and I wound up with my in-laws 02 Suburban. Sold my...

    Justin - Could tune lead to emissions test failure? Help ASAP!

    *Originally posted in General Chat section, re-posted here for direct help* Hey guys. I just sold my Yukon, and the new owner is saying that it just failed emissions today. By law, I am required to fix it or buy the truck back...which sucks. Colorado just started testing for Nitrous Oxide...

    Littleton CO - 2000 Yukon, awesome shape

    Hey guys. Selling my Yukon and it has to go quick. Bought a third vehicle (stupid move) thinking that business on my wife's end of things would improve much faster than it has. So, I have to sell the best vehicle I've ever owned since it's the only one I own that I'm not upside down on. The...

    *sigh* Sellin' the Yukon

    Hey guys, it's been a while. Went to the police academy (which took 9 months - part time academy so I could work full time while attending), got a new job, got through field training, and bought a third vehicle thinking that my wife's business would take off much faster than it has. Hate to say...

    HIDs Installed!

    Class got cancelled tonight, so as soon as I got home from the gym, guess what I found waiting for me: Opened it up: Opened the boxes inside the boxes, and finally got to the goods: Install wasn't too hard, but I was working in the dark with a flashlight so it took a little...

    Nice to see so many lifted trucks on here

    For a while there, we were dominated by the lowering crowd. Not that that is a bad thing at all, we have some SICK rides on here...it's just not my thing, so it's nice to see so many variations of the key/spacer lift and the different wheel/tire/size combos going on. Keep em' coming. :D

    My perpetual mod thread...

    In talking with the wife last week, I have basically decided to mod the crap out of my Yukon as opposed to spending a ton of cash on a new Tahoe or Avalanche. I have alot planned for the Yukon within the next year (maybe 2 if the wife slows me down on the spending, lol). I just got my new Denali...

    That figures

    DDM finally shipped my HID kit on Tuesday, after 10 days of waiting for them to catch up. It was supposed to arrive today according to UPS, which is my only day off. Perfect, plenty of time to install it right? Just checked the status, and the package is 45 minutes away in Commerce City on...

    Sierra Grille on a Yukon?

    Anyone know if it would fit? I like the thicker, blockier look of the Seirra's grille. Seems as though it would fit, since the headlamps and turn signals are the same. Anyone know for sure?

    The SUPER EASY 4-Hi mod for 00-02 vehicles

    OK guys and gals, here we are. I read the original 4-hi mod that JK had over at TahoeForum, which utilized quite a bit of wiring and involved a SPDT relay. Well, I read on here that for us guys with 2000-2002 model year Tahoes/Yukons/Escalades, all you need to do is ground out the yellow wire...

    Should I pull off the side molding?

    I'm not really into the whole debaging thing, as my rig is lifted with big tires and looks better with the trim on, IMO. But, my truck is 10 years old, and all of the chrome on the trim is starting to pit and look like complete ass. So, I've been thinking about pulling the side molding off...

    Bilstien 5100s are the shiz

    Finally got them installed today, thumbs up to Max for the help. I buy his lunch and the parts, he hooks me up on the install. Truck rides 10x better now, it's like night and day going from blown stockers to the 5100s. Raised the front back up quite a bit too. I cranked the t-bars a little...
