    Locker VS Posi

    Eaton TrueTrac is a great way to go. I have 5.13 gears and an Eaton TrueTrac differential and I can launch into dounts on dry pavement if I am so inclined. I don't thrash it all the time, but so far it's held up to daily driving and occasional thrashing. Drifting in the wet is a blast because...

    Tahoe 6-Speed T56 Conversion

    My hunch was right, the master cylinder did fail. After I got the first version of this swap done I exchanged messages on instagram with a guy who has a LS-swapped C10 that is running a T56. Coincidentally, he explained to me that he has had several Tilton master cylinders fail on him. I...

    Tahoe 6-Speed T56 Conversion

    Latest updates... The swap outlived my 2004 Tahoe - a nasty hail storm several years back totalled it into a golfball that looked a little bit like a Tahoe. I put the same T56 parts into a 2005 Avalanche for a short while but parted with the Avalanche as I really like the Tahoe platform...

    Back In The Game Again

    Thank you to everyone for the warm welcome. This Tahoe community is one of the big reasons I got another Tahoe. I have already torn into this Tahoe on Sunday and here's my checklist of where I'm at as of lunch break today:

    Back In The Game Again

    Howdy from San Antonio! A few years ago I parted out my my slammed 6-speed 2004 Tahoe after a hail storm turned it into a golf ball and then the spider gears in the rear axle shattered. Since then I've been itching to get another family hauler with third row. Throughout all my searching I...

    Yes, another like mine. I've been driving and abusing my T56 Tahoe for over three years now. Here is my original thread on it: http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/tahoe-6-speed-t56-conversion.58929/

    Tahoe 6-Speed T56 Conversion

    Hi ccreddell...the swap is done. I've been enjoying this swap for two years since when I posted this in February of 2014. Thanks! :) The mileage is better when I can keep my right foot out of it and not shift at red line from every stop. Driving it with the 6-speed is way more fun than...

    Project---------------Tahoe

    I'm bummed to hear it man...I was hoping there'd be another Tahoe out there like mine. The last I heard from you you were having back issues...so I'm really glad that you are up and moving around.

    Project---------------Tahoe

    I've recently seen the ebay listings for these superchargers. I've read about the different heads and front accessories needed to make them run on our engines...seems you've done the same too. With all the parts you've had to pick up I'm wondering if it's cheaper (and easier) to either 1) buy...

    Fix My Clutch Fire Sale: COMPLETE Front Coilover Conversion

    Murphy's Law reared it's ugly head on me. I've been collecting parts for the coilover conversion on the front of my 2004 Tahoe for a while now. I bought a used coilover conversion setup from Bomba02 minus Atomic's brackets because I had my own. Low and behold, while the shocks were being...

    Bomba02

    I bought a set of used coilover shocks from Bomba02. I got great communication before and after the sale along with a tracking number. The parts were safely packed and were in great shape. I would definitely do the deal again.

    Poopercage

    I could not pass up posting here...the title of the thread, or the handle of the seller, totally cracked me up! And that's got to be worth some good Karma for poopercage. :)

    fender flare installed! pics!

    I'm wanting to do some tinkering with my existing fender flares but I'm really hesitant to remove them as I may not be able to get them reinstalled as sturdy as they are right now. How exactly did you install them?

    Back after 2 years

    If you part it out then hit me up...I would like a crack at getting that blower, depending upon the price.

    Front bump stops

    I've heard that they're designed to be ridden on, that it's part of the design. I believe the proper name of them is "jounce stops"...and their intent is to act as part dampener and part bump stop. The problem here is I can't find anything concrete to confirm this. My 2004 Tahoe rode on the...

    Sway bar help!

    I hope I'm not threadjacking, but I recently went with the Hellwig 7702 front and 7701 rear. They're *really* beefy and the rear is nice because it's adjustable. I've put a good number of miles on them since the purchase and install and I'm pleased. The rear sway bar has three spots to mount...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    What did I do to my Tahoe today? I drove it hard for a good cause. My wife was scheduled to be induced at 6am this morning. The hospital rescheduled the appointment to tomorrow due to being overly busy in the delivery department...so this afternoon I used my Tahoe to try to get my wife to go...

    Build Vs Buy (5.3 to 6.0)

    Good point...never *ever* *ever* forget to slap it on the ass. I like that advice. :)

    Build Vs Buy (5.3 to 6.0)

    I suspect that the increase in torque/hp is implied between the two which is why no one has commented on that much. Since you bring it up, it really depends upon the build you're planning on doing. If you're only going to rebuild a 5.3 to stock specs versus buying a crate 6.0, then I'd pick...

    Build Vs Buy (5.3 to 6.0)

    This is a topic that is near and dear to my heart. I've been planning a wild LS build for a long time now so I've been researching LS rebuild options for a wihle. Your power levels should be really be easy to hit if you go with some basic upgrades. Dyno-proven gains of up to 100hp above...

    Clunk in the steering

    Thanks for posting a followup on your success...I'm glad you got this sorted out. I've been considering doing this on my Tahoe. I had a clunk sound when turning, but the car lot I bought my Tahoe from agreed to replace the part of the steering shaft prior to the sale, so that fixed my clunking...
