    Lift options?

    Get the Bilstein 5100’s. They are adjustable and ride great. The RC kit will work on the Z71 however they require cutting the shock mounts which will require replacement in the future

    Rear End Help

    Could lift the rear an inch or so with a shock tower spacer but you'll be left with a weird rake angle when unloaded. How about this, Bilstein 5100's which will greatly increase damping and add in that adjustable sway bar you can find somewhere in these forms. Between the two you could reduce...

    Potential buyer… issues online from loud minority or reason for concern?

    I've seen a few friends buy up beaters from that era with success. Id hardline the front brakes, nylon hose the rears and be on the way!

    GMC v. Chevrolet - Does Brand Matter?

    AT4 has a locker in the rear diff, Z71 is LSD. I prefer the Chevy interior but my recommendation is to agree with the wife...

    Rough idle on my low mileage 2021 tahoe

    Is the sound coming through the speakers, bad grounds and EMI can cause faint noises. You said HVAC was of but was the AC compressor selected off? Could be a restriction in the AC lines or coolant moving through the heater core. There are little microphones you can tape to various places...

    Rough idle on my low mileage 2021 tahoe

    I’m no expert on these trucks but I imagine you couldn’t hear the fuel pump unless it’s about to fail. If I’m not mistaken the fuel pump primes each time the keys near the vehicle. Does it make strange noises you can hear from outside the vehicle? Does the swooshing increase with RPM? Check...

    Lifted/Leveled 2021 - Postem Up

    They are great, wish I had installed them the day one. They are heavily damped which is how they get the rough reputation but I think these big body trucks need all the damping they can get. That’s part of the reason I got 18” wheels when I went to 5100’s, to smooth out the sharp bumps. My...

    Neighbors 2021 truck stolen

    We were behind a wall obstructing visual contact with running aircraft masking whatever noise they made. It was a tow behind deckover style trailers so no markings apparent and some badass winch. It would have taken less than a smoke brake to witness but damn if they didn’t pull it off. Also -...

    Neighbors 2021 truck stolen

    I believe there’s a wiring mod that relocates the horn’s wiring harness somewhere less accessible from the grill. I do like @PPV_2018 idea of blasting them with a second horn. Maybe wire up a circuit which will activate a second horn if the wiring harness is cut. A buddies Centennial Edition...

    Rebuilding Suspension? Nope it was the Rear Diff. Fixed

    The diff fluid changes are not covered however if after the third fluid change the noise remains they will cover the parts change if you remain within warranty. @coachhomer Id change out that diff fluid before diving into a front end rebuild. Two quarts of gear oil and easy access to the drain...

    Rebuilding Suspension? Nope it was the Rear Diff. Fixed

    Could also be the rear diff, there's an SB out addressing a moaning sound when turning.

    Lifted/Leveled 2021 - Postem Up

    Bilstein 5100 at the highest position with K03 285/70r18, +18 offset. I'll likely end up lowering it a bit.

    3.5” lift and bilstein 5100’s

    If you are going from the Rough Country 2" spacer kit to Bilstein you'll need a new set of strut mounts since the shock bolts get cut during the RC install. KYB SM5896 (2) KYB SM5974 (2)

    Full Screen CarPlay?

    Its not going to be a super smooth seamless experience but it definitely serves a purpose. I use the android operating system of mine to run Stremio + Debrid. Basically puts an android tablet on your screen.

    Full Screen CarPlay?

    Interesting, I have a different model Ottocast but it will only display in the standard airplay viewing area. Did you do any additional configuration or hardware to get full screen?

    My 2022 Tahoe Bose Audio Mods

    Rear pillar speakers are same as front corner speakers. Don’t think five channels will be enough to replace factory amp with. Each speaker needs to be driven independently to avoid integration issues. If I were to attempt a full factory amp bypass I’d use this...

    Full Screen CarPlay

    Navikits has a module which will replace the entire screen with whatever input you feed it. No touchscreen support so not exactly what you are looking for but its the only way to get full screen anything.

    What did you do to your 21+ T1XX today?

    I’ve got the auto stop eliminator and also recently installed the DFM disabler. No conflicts between the two. Both products are in-line devices so no software modifications with either.

    What did you do to your 21+ T1XX today?

    But also… big hit! Thought about going with some ZR2 17” wheels to avoid this type of damage but since this is not typical supposed I’ll just go with a $200 eBay pull off replacement instead.

    Ventilated Seats on Tahoe RST

    Also in Houston, #1 complaint with mine is the lack of ventilated seats. It’s like GM is punishing me for not getting the option by secretly toggling the heaters on or something. Never had a sweaty back issue an any other vehicle. Been thing of putting together a parts list together for a retrofit.

    DFM disabler released

    There’s no user configuration which will disable DFM in these trucks ie sport, trailer, L9. Apples and oranges between a Yammy v6 and these v8’s both in the method used to drop cylinders and primary / secondary balance effects. Little evidence to show this is a modification to improve...

    DFM disabler released

    When I got this truck at 7,500 miles there were no perceivable changes when DFM activated, after locking out the exhaust resonator I could hardly hear it working. Now at 43,000 miles I absolutely can hear and feel the DFM activations, this product fixed it! I simply removed the lowest three...
