    Homemade bumper anyone??

    I have been thinking about building my own front bumper, and possibly a rear. Anyone done this before and if so what does it look like and what did you use? I like the look of the winch bumpers...but they are way to $pendy for me, plus i don't really need a winch... i was just thinking of...

    how to install an air bag clock spring??

    ok, a long time ago i took the intermediate steering shaft off to get the grease back to the top. during that process, the steering wheel spun and the air bag clock spring broke. So, since the wife is pregnant, and she now drives the tahoe because she lost her job and just runs errands...i...

    Synthetic oil question

    The full synthetic I run in my tahoe, as well as, sell to my oil change customers is made by American oil. I believe some of it is private labelled under the MAG1 brand name. It costs me like $3.00/qt and is just as good as Valvoline Synpower or Mobil 1(i have the spec sheets every spec is...

    Locking Rear diff question

    I don't think these trucks had a factory "locker" option. I believe it is the limited slip gov lock unit. Which is for the most part a limited slip(it has clutches) but has a lock of some sort but that is only supposed to work at low speeds, if it works at all. My 04 tahoe lt has this option...

    airbag light

    Does your dash say service air bag, where you normally have your odometer? Mine did that after i wrecked my clock spring in the steering wheel. (yeah, i spun the steering wheel shaft too far while it was disconnected DOH!). the only way to really know would be to have someone read the code...

    Anyone running withOUT catalytic converters?

    I run no cats. I have long tube headers and an off road y pipe.. both came from pacesetter. (black bear tuned the rear o2's to be off) The y pipe i bought won't work with factory manifolds. With cash in hand some "old school" exhuast shops will cut out cats and replace them with a chunk of...

    Coil over shocks, anyone have them??

    How long are the factory shocks? That would give a starting point for the length of the coil over. How much spring would one need for the front end?

    Coil over shocks, anyone have them??

    Wondering if a person could put a set of coil over shocks up front and get rid of the torsion bars that are stock on our front suspension? I know they make some lift kits that eliminate the torsion bars by putting in coil overs. Just wondering if it is an option with out having to put in the...

    What else to replace when I put in my new cam?

    Can someone explain the difference in timing chains/gear sets?? What is a true roller, vs what was in a stock motor? How is it better? Just asking cause i dont know, and because of the price difference. The cam i am looking at 54-424-11 has a valve lift of .558/.563. (1400-6700rpm range)so...

    What else to replace when I put in my new cam?

    yep, gaskets were on the list. Still trying to figure out if stock timing set is ok..or if a person "really" needs a performance one. Not sure what could be all that different about them other than price and material they are made out of.

    What else to replace when I put in my new cam?

    ok looking at getting the comp cams cam #54-424-11. I believe it is the high lift version of the 54-412-54. Any way looking at what else i need to install. Hardened pushrods. are they 7.4" long still? New valve springs. Do yellow ls6 springs work w/ this cam or do i need more...

    Comp cam or retune?? help me choose

    Is anyone running this cam that would have some first hand knowledge of its performance and mpg?? Or someone have one that is similar? Still mulling it over. I really want a big boost it power..but don't want to spend a ton of money if it isn't going to be a fairly large gain. Just trying to...

    Comp cam or retune?? help me choose

    I was planning on switching to a 91 tune anyway. just want to make sure the cam is worth the price tag. (meaning there is a big enough power/economy gain to justify buying it vs. just retuning for higher octane) Is a stock timing set ok or do i need a better one?? i see that autozone has...

    Picked up a ClayBar kit today. Any advice?

    Best claying tip i have used yet. Learned from a guy who has been detailing for most of his life. Instead of using the quick detailer as a lubricant for the clay bar. He uses window cleaner. Like the cheap cans of it that you can get at the dollar store. It works quite well. Usually spary...

    Anyone use an engine heater??

    my heat works great...but only once my truck is up to operating temp.. which is like 210. So my thought is, if i can use a block heater, tank heater, lower hose heater..to keep my coolant (and engine oil) warmed more so than if my truck sits over night at -20*..then it should warm up faster...

    Anyone use an engine heater??

    Is there a cabin air filter on a 2004 tahoe?? i have looked before and not found anything, unless there is different location than under the glove box. I do get great air flow out of the vents on a/c and on heat. It just takes a while for the heat to get there and then you can heat yourself...

    Anyone use an engine heater??

    Well, the wife gets the garage stall..and of course her car is the one that came with remote start. DOH!! I was looking at the tank style heaters, as a way to warm the coolant so my heat gets warmer sooner..as a plus side it would heat the block enough to warm the oil a bit. I run synthetic...
