    1997 Tahoe Brake Upgrades-Easy and Cheap?

    Vehicle, 1997 Tahoe LT 4-Door 4x4: Over the years I have read various threads about brake upgrades to the less than stellar brake performance on these trucks. The more complex upgrades were Hydroboost, and some others. Some years back, I did do an upgrade to Stillen Calipers (no longer...

    '97 Tahoe Headlights Won't Shut Off-Help!

    After turning on the Lights at the Dash all the way, then turning them off, all the exterior Lights shut off except the Headlights. (Tail Lights and Front Marker Lights do shut off) By disconnecting the Battery (neg cable) then re-connecting the cables the Headlights then stay off. Until I...

    Coffee Colored Oil

    Hello All, Did an Oil Change this morning on my '97 Hoe, 5.7L engine, and noticed something I never seen before, as I am the original owner, and have used nothing but Mobil 1 5-30 since the very first change. The oil had a look just like a cup of coffee that you added a little bit of milk into...

    Turtle Wax Endura Tire Coating

    I've tried this product out a couple weeks ago, as there were a good number of positive comments about it in one of the Detailing Forums I'm a member of. Figured what the heck, let's try out this over the counter product and see what the results are? Did my Kia Spectra's Hankook Optimo 727...

    Camber Kits

    When doing a wheel alignment on the OBS 4x4's, is it more than likely one will need a Camber Bolt Kit? Mine's never been done. If so, any suggestions on parts, and where to get them? Thanks, Mark

    Rear Height Difference

    Hello all, With some recent tinkering on my '97 Tahoe due to some new 22" wheels-tires, I was in the process of decranking my front end, when walking around and taking measurements at all 4 corners, discover a difference of rear height of more than 1". Although my Hoe only has 39.8K miles...

    Battery Tender tripping Viper Alarm

    This has been an ongoing issue that could never seem to be cured. Happened with both my older Clifford-Avital Concept 20 Alarm, as well as a brand new Viper 5701 2-way Alarm/Remote Start which is about 2-1/2 years old. (All components and wiring of the Clifford Alarm were totally removed prior...

    Anti-Seize on Lug Studs, yay, or nay?

    Is such a bad idea, no no to do? It's something I've never really done in my life, and was wondering if one would then have to worry about lug nuts working loose? I would imagine one might actually register a slightly higher torque value (meaning if you torqued to 100 ft lbs, it might...

    Wheel Choice Headaches!

    Help! Folks, I honestly cannot tell you how many "months" that I've been so totally overwhelmed with wheel and tire choices, that I'd like to throw on my OBS 1997 Tahoe LT 4x4? Without a doubt, I must've perused-gawked at 10,000 wheels on the market today, most in pics, but quite many in...

    Hello all, Have a couple of questions about these? Can these be rebuilt with new bushings? If so, does anyone know where such can be gotten, to point me in the right direction with common parts stores? If not rebuildable, where can one then get the links without too much hassle? As...

    Slamming. Need some edumacation

    Hello folks. Of course over the years, I've seen countless slammed rods, trucks, SUVs, etc. Pertaining particularily to the OBS Tahoe, how do you folks "slam" a vehicle, then get monstrous wagon wheels to tuck within? I know many slam 2 wheel drives, but I'm gathering that 4 bys are also on...

    22's on stock ride height 97 hoe 4x4?

    Yep, here we go again, thought this might be a better "area" of the forum to post such questions. Vehicle is 1997 Tahoe 4x4 4dr, stock ride height, wheels-tires on board now, are a somewhat ugly 16x8 3 spoke, Michelin LTX 275/70-16 combo. Was thinking the Black Rhino 22x9.5 Pondora in Chome...

    Differential Lube

    Been thinking of yanking the rear Diff cover soon on the 97 Tahoe (with factory limited slip), dropping out Mobile 1 which has been in there, do a nice drain, new gasket, paint the cover, and refill with Amsoil 75-90 Severe Gear Lube. Whattaya think? I'm thinking 75-110W Amsoil might be...

    A/C Characteristics-Behavior?

    About a year ago, I had my AC Compressor, and all other routine parts replaced, due to a leaky original AC Compressor on my 1997 Tahoe LT 4x4 4dr. (39K on the odometer) Compressor was replaced with a new Delphi, (autozone) clutch gap appeared to check out fine at .020", new...

    Best Dash Kits?

    Hello all, I've kicked this around for many years, doing a dash kit mod, and dressing up my '97 Tahoe LT's interior a little bit. I have looked at the Remin Kits, they look nice. Not sure if I wish to use every last piece in the Kit, but one has that option to go as little, or as far as they...

    Typical Wheel Offset for '97 Tahoe 4x4

    Hello All, This is my first post here. I'm thinking of upgrading wheels-tires on my 1997 Tahoe LT 4dr 4x4 to a 20"x8.5" Wheel, and probably a 275/55-20 Tire. I don't wish to get too radical, sort of worrying going further to a 22", and creating either weight, suspension, or other problems...
