    Driveshaft replacement?

    I've recently heard a rumor that our driveshafts like to explode around the 105 mph mark. Does this hold any truth? If so...what the heck are we replacing them with? Something like this? https://driveshaftstore.com/Chevrolet-Tahoe-Driveshaft-2012-366970 What is the weakpoint? Is it the...

    P0796 and others, while 59 miles from home

    I now have 7 neutrals. RIP.

    Right front wheel protrudes further than left?

    It's about 1/4", maybe a touch more. Everything is straight, no accidents, camber is even...I don't get it. Anyone else?

    Bypassing airride: parts need to stay?

    My airride stuff is completely gone. Of no use to me. When I did so, I installed resistors on all 4 corners, yet I'm still getting the SSS light. I've removed the sensors/rheostats, and pulled the compressor from the truck...did the compressor need to stay?

    Adjustable trailing arms

    This doesn't seem to be a common mod here, and I'm not sure why. When I was shopping for my Spohn panhard bar, I found that they sell an entire kit of upper and lower trailing arms, so I pulled the trigger. Should be installing them this weekend. Anyone have any advice as to setting them with a...

    Broken headlight adjuster

    I found threads in 00-06 and 15+…but nothing for NNBS. Are the headlight adjusters repairable at all, or is this a case of “now you have an excuse to buy headlights”?

    The KidWagon

    Guess I better start a build thread now that I’ve started modifying my “grown up car” 2012 LTZ with every option I know of, and black on black! I couldn’t believe how hard it was to find a black on black LTZ, and this one fell into my lap 8 miles from me at a dealership. Many will say I...

    07/08 vs 09-14 Corsa catback

    Fun fact! The 07/08 Corsa catback not only uses a different cat-to-muffler pipe (2-bolt flange vs ball/socket flange), but it ALSO uses a different length of muffler! So, if you buy a Corsa catback second hand, only to find out after an 8-hour round trip that it doesn't fit, then reach out to...

    OE rear spring rates?

    I've been searching the Googles for half an hour or more and cannot find ANYTHING detailing the OE rear spring rate. Everything I can find is from aftermarket manufacturers touting "30% stiffer!" with no actual measurement. I'm putting together my own drop kit, and want to be sure I order enough...

    Rear coilovers using Viking?

    Anyone tried it yet, or am I about to guinea pig this? AFP offers the front coilover, which I'll be installing regardless. I wanted to keep all 4 corners similar, so I figured I'd use Viking's in the rear, too. Upon browsing, it looks like you can get the shocks with a smooth body, or threaded...

    2012 Tahoe/Fuel filler-neck flap

    Seems silly, but I cannot for the life of me find any information. Does the filler-neck opening have a flapper in it? If it’s supposed to, mine does not, which would explain why I can’t use the locking function on a gas pump after replacing everything else.

    OE GM Cargo Holder: modified for third row

    Although the cargo carrier will physically fit over the third row rails, it sat atop of them, making it bounce and shimmy all over the place. After a couple hours of measuring and a couple cutoff wheels…we have positive contact at all points! The “holder” now sits on carpet at all points...

    Cast Iron steering knuckles

    Is there some sort of definitive guide as to which years/submodels came with cast iron knuckles? What are the alternatives; steel, aluminum? Looking at a DJM 2/3 drop kit for my new to me 2012 LTZ, and am noticing that it states that it is designed only for vehicles with cast iron knuckles...
