    Black Bear tuning Question

    Mine is also an 07 with nearly identical mileage, and I see the same average MPG. Keep in mind that the 07-08 trucks still have the old 4 speed 4L60E transmission, whereas the 09+ trucks get the 6 speed 6L80E. Two extra gears means a taller cruising ratio in 5th and 6th gear, and higher MPG...

    Bump for wheel info. Sick truck.

    muffler questions

    If you want a somewhat quiet exhaust, a super 40 flowmaster is not the way to go. A 50 series would be a better choice. The MagnaFlow 12579 is also a popular muffler option here. Very quiet until you get on it. I'll be getting one soon. Search YouTube for sound clips.

    Yes and no. For the most part, improving fuel mileage on these trucks is a moot point. You can do all you can to optimize it, but seeing any kind of substantial gain is equivalent to chasing a unicorn. It has more to do with your driving habits than any other single factor. If I put my foot in...

    Matte black grille installed

    Derek, sorry to hear about the nox thing, let me know what's going on with it and I'll try to answer your questions. I'll pm you.

    Tahoe Small Push Bumper

    Looks like possibly an older Setina PB300 or PB400. We had two different heights on our Expeditions, I remember they screwed up and put one that was too low on one of our new vehicles and it completely blocked the grille lights. They ended up just moving the lights higher up.

    Matte black grille installed

    Thanks Steve, your truck looks great. How is your grille holding up? Any issues with the clips popping out over time or anything like that?

    Matte black grille installed

    Word. Thanks guys. I think I'll leave it as-is until the chrome gets torn up, then deal with it as necessary. I recorded a quick video earlier today that went over the process and compares the OEM grille with the replacement. I'll add it to the original post.

    Matte black grille installed

    Hey all. Been a while since I've dropped by so I figured I'd post this up here for everyone's reference. About 18 months ago I decided to black out all the chrome on my truck with plastidip. I did the emblems and grille surround, and it turned out great. Fast forward to now, and two Colorado...

    Traction control/stabilitrak off issue

    The ethanol percentage reset solved my issues. They haven't returned at all in the two months or so since I did the reset. TPS issues, while crappy, are an entirely different problem. Glad you got it fixed for free though, that's always nice. :pepper:

    Looking at 2007 LT Tahoe...

    Holy crap dude...that's wicked. Yeah, trim up the bumper a bit to clean it up and you should be good. The tip will clean up fine with a little elbow grease. Surprised that it melted like that if there was already a 1/4" gap there.

    Has anyone tried these LED's in their fogs?

    Post pics when you get them installed man. I'd be interested to see how they compare with the other ones you had.

    Dealer tried to rip me off

    Yeah, that's horseshit man. I'd definitely let GM know. I've seen service advisers take one issue as reported by a technician, and then use that as the basis for coming up with all kinds of additional crap to eek more money out of you. Oil change/coolant flush = loose tie rod + alignment = black...

    Oil Leak Around Valve Covers

    Valve cover gaskets are seeping a little. Doubt it's PCV related if it's doing it on both sides. Unless they are really leaking badly (which yours don't appear to be) I wouldn't worry too much about it unless you want to rip everything apart to replace them. Just keep an eye on it.

    Lighting

    I have run HID kits in several of my vehicles with decent results, but not the Tahoe. The stock housings on the GMT900 tahoes have "decent" cutoff with HID kits...but far from ideal. They are perfect candidates for a projector retrofit though, lots of options and tons of people have done them so...

    Looking at 2007 LT Tahoe...

    Nice ride, Hawg! Mine is also an 07, and the rear defrost tab just broke off on mine too...just in time for more snow last weekend. Murphy's a *****, lol. All told though, I bought mine with 113k on the clock and have put about 11k miles on it since I bought it nearly a year ago, including trips...

    Problem with Traction control, Stability system, ABS system.

    I usually unplug it for a half hour or more just to make sure it clears out. I've even left it overnight on a few occasions when I was working on other stuff that needed to be finished the following morning. 30 minutes should do the trick though.

    cams and turbo question

    ^ Agreed. I know it seems like a monumental task to do an engine swap, but if you're set on spending the time and money on a forced induction setup, get the 5.3 dude. You don't have to spend major cash on a crate motor or anything - there are scads of long blocks that can be pulled from...

    Extending HomeLink Range?

    I remember reading about this on the Pirate 4x4 forums a couple years back....full wavelength antennas don't do anything for you if the equipment isn't set up to take advantage of it. Most consumer-level electronics that use transmitters are set up to use quarter-wavelength antennas. The problem...

    Rear main seal leaking. Help

    It's generally helpful if you read the forum headings before posting, and put your questions in the correct section for the year of your truck. This is the 07-14 section.

    oil pan gasket

    Seriously? Damn. Clearly they changed the layout substantially for the NNBS trucks then. It was a simple job on my suburban.

    oil pan gasket

    It's just a few bolts and a cross member, isn't it? Get some ramps and pull it yourself. A ratchet, oil change supplies and a new gasket should be all you need. Unless I'm missing something, it's not labor intensive at all. I guess if he's busy then it's his loss...but the job isn't that hard...

    I guess my mods worked...

    Defer to state laws, brotha. Here in CO, even having reds/blues installed facing the front (whether they are even wired to turn on or not!) can land you in serious trouble. Too many folks impersonating cops around here a few years back. And I agree about the double edged sword comment. People...

    P0446 Can't Fill Up Tank

    Make sure the vent line/filter are installed properly, or you may still have issues. Did you run the line up the filler tube so that the filter was as high up as possible? I replaced mine last summer and the problem has pretty much been solved. Certain types of gas pumps still make it act...

    Looking at installing leveling kit 2010 4x4 tahoe any info?

    Both. I had the tires for a week or so before putting the leveling kit on, and they only rubbed slightly...but with the bigger meats I think it looks better with the front bumped up a bit.
