    pulled the trigger... LQ4/4L80 swap (6.0 vortec)

    Thanks for asking. She's doing better, but still has a ways to go. Collar bones heal slow. I'll call you soon, sounds like he might be the right guy for my swap. I was watching one of the truck shows Sunday morning and they put a Edelbrock supercharger on a 5.3 and it dynoed a 90hp gain. Sure...

    Hey Branndon, glad to hear you've got things going again. Which local guy did you get John Verrete, or is someone else?

    How high without driveshaft for autotrac?

    Last year I bought a 99' 2 door that the previous owner had installed a 6" RCX lift on. It still had the original driveshafts and the stock 3:42 gears. It did fine until I had an offroad shop regear it to 4:56. Vibration showed up front and rear with the lower gears. First thing we did was...

    Body and suspension lift ?

    The Off-Road shops here don't like them either. The want to sell the brands that cost twice as much. Unless your doing some serious off-roading the RCX will do you just fine. The more expensive lifts might give you a better ride but the RCX is really not that rough. Do some searches, there...

    Body and suspension lift ?

    Just do a 6" suspension and be done with it. I have the Rough Country RCX on mine and it handles 35's with no problem. For $1000 the RCX isn't the best lift out there but it is one of the best for the money.

    Going shopping for rims!

    If you end up buying new, take a look at the American Eagle rims. I just bought a set. They are great looking, quality rims for a decent price and the best thing is they are made in the USA.

    What did you do to your OBS GMT400 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    How much lift are you running? 6" Rough Country RCX is all I have. The taller tires clear everything easily.

    What did you do to your OBS GMT400 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Baby got new shoes. American Eagle 18x9 wheels and 315/70/18 Toyo Open Country MT's. Toyo said they are 35.7" tall when mounted but not installed on the truck. They were actually 35" even, mounted but not installed (don't know what happened to the .7"). They only squated 1/4" when installed...

    '95 Tahoe SS

    Here's a couple pictures of one I came across here in town in the mall parking lot. Poor thing hasn't been taken care of in a long time judging from the coat of grime and bird crap on it. Some people are just too damn lazy to appreciate what could be a really cool looking vehicle.

    American Eagle Wheels?

    These are the rims (Superfinish Black) I have on order, should be here Monday. The 315/70/18 Toyo MT's should be here Monday also. I'll post up some pictures when I have them mounted. http://aewheel.com/eagle_alloy_wheels.cfm?id=2360&cat=472

    American Eagle Wheels?

    Thanks Fishin, I did some googling and couldn't find anyone that had anything bad to say. All good comments on all kinds for forums. Don't really want to spend the money for new rims but I really want to go with the 315/70/18 Toyo MT's. They are supposed to be 35.7" tall inflated but not...

    American Eagle Wheels?

    Anybody have experience with this brand wheel (American Eagle)? I am looking at wider rims and I came across a set by American Eagle that I really like but I don't know anything about the quality. The price is on the mid to lower end, very similar to the MB's that are on my Hoe now.

    Need opinions on rims please

    The 17's look proper on your Hoe. NBS 20's just look too ghetto on OBS Hoes.

    how much for your 2 door tahoe/yukon?

    Man, so this is the kind of thread that brings all the 2 door guys out of the woodwork. Their going to have to dig a big hole when I die, I'm going to be buried in my 99' 2 door. I paid $7750 for my 99' a few months ago. It already had the lift, MB wheels & BFG AT's. I added 4.56 gears...

    suspension lift recomendations please

    I've got the 6" Rough Country on my 99' 2door and I have no complaints. Its not a hardcore lift but it offers pretty good bang for the buck. My Hoe still drives and handles just as well as if stock. It does have a stiffer ride than stock though. They have 3 suspension lifts 2-3", 4" & 6" all...

    need advise on bumper color

    Like Toby Kieth said in his song. "My favorite color is Chrome". Seriously though, to whatever you think looks good, that's what really counts.

    Fuel economy

    As mentioned above, getting a Scangauge will really help you adjust your driving habits. In my case and probably most other people, driving habit is the most influential thing to affect mpg. Once I changed my driving habits mpg went up some. I also do alot more coasting now, I love hearing...

    Really clown!?!?

    FWIW, my CD holder serves as my cup holder. When I drink I drink big. 20oz monster drink cans, large travel coffee cup, just about anything fits in there. I like the depth of the CD holder for tall cups/cans. In case you haven't noticed I'm a caffeine junkie.

    1998 Tahoe 5.7 Fuel Economy

    Believe me, I had no illusions of getting the kind of mpg your getting. What I meant about comparing your numbers to my numbers was just the fuel pressure difference between my stock and your modded motor. Is your ultra gauge returning fuel pressure? My Scangauge has the capability to report...

    1998 Tahoe 5.7 Fuel Economy

    Sounds like you have an in-cab gauge to be able to report those numbers. Any chance you could post a picture of the under-hood connection and/or anything else relevant to the setup. I would like to get in-cab indication also. A comparison of my numbers verses yours may be interesting and helpful...
