    Tunes for Hybrids?

    I'd really like to get a tune for my new 2009 Escalade Hybrid at some point to get a little more pep out of it and potentially increase my mpg's but wasn't sure if you had an offering for us Hybrid guys. So I wanted to reach out to find out what my options were. Thanks!

    Lockpick GMX560 vs iSimple ISGM651 - which should I choose?

    So I've been doing a lot of digging since picking up my Escalade and it seems like these are the best 2 options to upgrade the factory radio and provide me options for hooking up my iPhones/iPads to the stock radio. I wanted to get feedback from everyone as to what they think the better unit is...

    ISimple devices for 2009 Escalade

    Been doing a little bit of digging on the forum for solutions for hooking up my iPhone to the factory radio and from what I've found iSimple seems like the way to go. I had a few questions and hoped someone here knew about these things and could help me out. Does it keep the XM working and...

    I'm back from the dead

    Hey guys.. technically I never left but became more of a lurker than a poster as I got tied up with life and thus neglected my Tahoe. Just picked up a 2009 Escalade Hybrid tonight so I'll be a lot more active as I look for ideas and decide what I want to do with my new ride. I don't have any...

    Need help locating a part number

    The trim bezel around the window switch on both of my back doors is cracked and I'm trying to find a replacement. I can't seem to locate one for the life of me. Any of you guys know which part this is?

    Replacement key fob and Disarming my alarm

    So my daughter likes playing with our Tahoe keys and decided to put them somewhere that I can not find for the life of me. I would like to get a replacement one for as cheap as possible. There are tons of them for sale on ebay for like 20-30 bucks. I wanted to know how easy it is to reprogram...

    Cleaning out the garage

    Started cleaning out the garage this morning since I plan to move in the near future and came across a few old things from the Tahoe. I figured someone here on the boards may be interested in some of this stuff. I am not looking to make a ton of cash on any of it, I figure if someone wanted...

    Effeckt 2001 Tahoe

    Saw the new section so I thought I would add mine in. Still have more in store for it but it's been on the back burner for awhile as I'm moving to a new place shortly and also occasionally working on my K5. Here is how my truck looked stock when I bought it. (I say stock but it came with...

    WIW - Someone approached my wife in a parking lot..

    Someone approached my wife in a parking lot and offered to buy my wheels. Apparently he has the same ones with some defects and can't seem to find them anywhere. I for one have never been in love with my wheels and want to go a different direction but it was always something I figured I'd do...

    Replace bumper lights (turn signals)

    I looked here before I did it to see how they were removed and was surprised not to find a write up of it here. It would have been nice as I ended up removing half of my grill and wheel well looking for ways to access the clips to take it out. So anyways here is my write up to save the next guy...

    Electrical issue - battery draining in my K5

    I don't drive my Blazer more than once a week. Sometimes 2-3 weeks go by before I can take it for a drive. I have a weird issue where my battery is draining. It happened to me about a month ago. The battery that was in it was from the previous owner so I assumed it could have been bad. I took it...

    2/4 Lowering kit help

    I've been mulling around the idea of lowering my Tahoe finally. I have decided that a 2/3-4 drop is where I would want to go. I have a couple of questions though - which type of kit should I go with? From what I've seen via searching it seems that the McGaughy's kit is the preferred kit...

    Apple TV

    I know it's not car related but I'm selling it as I don't use it and I want money to put into either my Tahoe or my K5. I have a 160 GB AppleTV for sale. I currently have it listed on craigslist. I bought it a few months back used for $250 and used it lightly in my bedroom. I have all of the...

    My 1972 K5 Build thread - 56k = NO

    Started to clean up my K5 I picked up earlier this month. Thought I would share the progress with you all since it's going to be taking up my time and money rather than the Tahoe for awhile. I haven't done much to it as of yet due to finances but thanks to my buddy having welding skills he and...

    Premade sub enclosures for rear fender wells?

    So my Tahoe came with 2 10" subs and while they are not anything amazing, I feel like they do the job well enough for what is essentially my family vehicle. My only issue with them is that the box takes up needed space that I could really use in the back. I want to put one in each fender well. I...

    Bug guard for NBS Tahoe/Suburban

    I doubt this will sell on this forum but figured I'd throw it on here anyway. My Tahoe had a bug shield on it when I bought it and I removed it right away upon purchase. It wouldn't even fit with the HD hood I now have anyway. I don't want to ship it obviously as shipping would cost more than I...

    Phoenix Meet 3/27 & 3/28

    I wasn't aware of a meet on this date but I saw it mentioned in Tybardy's signature. So I looked in the events forum and didn't see anything there either. What's going on those dates? Fill me in!

    Suspension help/advice

    I'm still mulling over exactly what I want to do with my suspension and figured I'd throw this up to get your guys advice. I know this will make RT happy but I've pretty much all but ruled out lowering the truck. I really like the clearance I have after having cars for so long. My preference...

    Twins

    Finally met up with my brother when both of our trucks were clean at the same time (well mostly clean, mine is a little dirty) and took some pics like I've been meaning to do. It was starting to get dark when we started but I figured I'd take them anyway. Here are our twin rides:

    Evolution of Effeckt's Hoe

    Figured now that I have done a few things I would make my own mod thread. Here is how my truck looked stock when I bought it. (I say stock but it came with the 22 inch rims on it when I bought it) Since then I debadged it and removed the moldings Then installed the...

    What color should I go with?

    Okay so my truck is going into the shop next week to get my 2500HD hood, SS grille, vent caps, and SS bumper painted the color of the truck. I was retarded when I ordered the SS grille mesh for the bumper because I didn't check to see what color came with the grille. Needless to say I have...

    Suspension help needed

    So after owning my vehicle a bit I've noticed the suspension is starting to feel like it is either getting worse or it's my imagination. I knew it would need help soon when I got it but I am getting to the point where I am wanting to do it sooner than later. When I am driving and hit an uneven...

    Bolt on exhaust or welded?

    I have seen a lot about exhausts here and have basically gathered that Corsa is best and that Magnaflow is also a really good option. I assume that everyone that is getting them is buying them online and bolting them on. I also know a lot of people will just head over to an exhaust shop and have...

    Help me decide!

    Alright so the time is almost here for me to put my hoe in the shop to put all of my stuff on. I've almost got my claim for the hood reversed and my grille is supposed to arrive any minute now. What I have been waffling on for some time now is whether to roll pan or not. I love the look but I...
