    Got My Tires! - Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T 285/60R20

    The stock Goodyears were past the point of no return and wore the outside edge, even after two alignments. With the onset of rain and snow season, decided to get new tires after 43k. Went with Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T 285/60R20. They are three peak rated and look stunning. They also...

    Kenwood 7” coax in rest doors?

    Has anyone tried the Kenwood excelon 7” speakers in the rear doors? The speakers fit the 2025-2029 models, but do they fit the 2021? Crutchfield doesn’t say, so I thought I would check here. i replaced the fronts with Infinity 6x9s, and now want to upgrade the rear doors.

    Lifter issues - What Oil Did You Use?

    For those that had or have lifter issues (the dreaded collapsed lifter) what oil and filter did you use before the problem? What oil and filter do you use now? I am wondering after a comment made by the dealership mechanic as my truck was in the shop for a #6 collapsed lifter. I have sworn by...

    Front & Rear Diff Lube?

    I would like to do some PM on my 2021 Z71 Tahoe, but I can’t find the type of front & rear differential fluid. Manual says “Consult dealer”, other oil sites don’t have anything listed. Surely someone has changed fluid by now. What did you use? To make matters worse, I can’t tell if I have...

    RPO Codes?

    Where can I find the RPO codes for my vehicle? Before, they were located on a sticker inside the glove box door. They aren’t there now. I’ve looked high and low, and did a giggle search, to no avail. Any ideas?

    Windshield Mounted Rear-view Camera Mirror?

    Saw one of these in a new Sierra, and saw them mentioned for the new Tahoe PPV/SSV. I have not seen the option for the civilian Tahoe or any retrofit kit. Anyone see the kit or option from GM or the aftermarket? Comes in handy when the back is filled up!

    Big Brakes?

    Has anyone heard if GM will offer the Brembo big brake kit on the new Tahoe/Yukon? They are apparently standard on the PPV and an accessory on the new Silverado. Any aftermarket companies developing new kits? I like big brakes and I cannot lie.....

    I Switched Teams

    Uhmmm, not that way. This is sort of a “coming out”, or “coming up” party. When I first got the Tahoe, I always didn’t like having to climb up in the back to get stuff. So I thought I would lower the back and make my life easier. However, after a rear 2” lower/level by springs, the rear...

    Escalade Mirror Disassembly?

    How on earth do you disassemble Escalade mirrors without destroying something? I found tons of info for truck mirrors, tow mirrors, etc. But nothing for Escalade. I performed the Escalade mirror swap. I think the body shop I had paint the caps broke the led turn signal (they charged me extra...

    Fire Extinguisher Mount?

    This has been beaten to death on other forums with other vehicles, but I can find no mention here. So why not start? Please, no responses of “you don’t need those” or “let it burn”-we are past that point. You can discuss that in another thread. So, where do you have your fire extinguisher...

    iPhone XS MAX and Wireless Charging?

    Anyone with an iPhone XS Max and wireless charging--does it work? Does the iPhone XS Max fit in the charging pad enough to charge? Even with a cover? Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks!

    Anyone changed/removed factory running board So?

    Looking for pics of aftermarket running boards or nerf bars like N-fab or Iron Cross or even Amp motorized running boards. Looking for more ground clearance and strength/protection. The factory boards are well integrated, but low and not the strongest. How was installation? Would you do it...

    Configurable gauges and HUD in Tahoe?

    I understand it is an option in the 2016+ Tahoe LTZ / Premiere; HUD and gauges with an 8" DIC screen (as opposed to 4" in the "up level cluster" for us mere mortals). Questions for you with this cluster: any pictures? Are the gauges always visible, or do they come and go with the DIC screen...

    Help--I'm underneath and I can't get out!

    So this is really nothing that serious, more informative. I lowered my 2016 Tahoe and got it just the way I want it. However, I'm not as thin as I once maybe was! Maybe not portly, but I wouldn't be mistaken for slight, either. I kinda get stuck between the ground and the running board. I...

    Denali Gauges in a ???

    So I'm a techno-geek who loves cars. A buddy just got a Denali and I fell in love with the gauges and their configurability. I also loved the 6.2, but that's a different post. So since the dash is the same and I have the color DIC I should just be able to swap gauges, right? Just a bolt in...

    Transmission downshifts--or not

    So this has happened to me a few times now. Slowing down exiting the highway and then making a right turn at the end of the off ramp (without totally stopping--I have a yield); oncoming traffic just starting to go, so if I go now I can get out in front without waiting for the next 20 minutes...

    Rear air shocks - don't inflate

    I installed 2" drop rear springs and only got 1-3/4" drop. After reading around I did Tony's 5/8" heater-hose mod (thanks for all your info Tony!). The original spring isolators were 3/4" thick! I did heater hose top and bottom for 1/4" (1/8" wall each), for a new drop of 1/2". However, the...

    Bilstein 5100s

    I lowered my '16 Tahoe and now the stock shocks feel too soft. I have enjoyed Bilsteins in the past so I am looking at them now. Does anyone know the difference between the Bilstein 24-251976 for the '15+ and the 24-186940 for the earlier models? It seems as though the 24-251976 is a couple...

    PML Differential Cover?

    I really like to look and serviceability of the PML rear diff cover, located here: http://www.yourcovers.com/diffcover_11129.php However, looking at and taking measurements, and conversing with the PML factory, it appears there is 0.030" clearance between the rear diff cover fins and the...

    Smoked Clear Bra?

    Sounds somewhat incongruous, but does someone make a smoked bra film to take the place of clear bra? Instead of a clear Clear Bra, I am looking for a smoked Clear Bra. I find the headlight and tailight covers, but not the entire bra film? I somewhat like the look of a "bra" or mask on the...

    Aluminum Underbody Shields?

    Anyone replace the stock plastic underbody shield (faux skid plate) with the aluminum kit offered by GM (pn 23176881)? How was it/how does it fit? Any pics?

    Stripped "Plastic Underbody Shield" Bolt

    Well, I've had the underbody plastic sheild off my Tahoe several times now. Seems as though they were in an incredible hurry at the factory--for someone over-torqued one of the plastic shield front upper bolts. It's pretty obvious when you take the bolt out. The hole where the bolt threads...

    Accessory Power Outlets with Retained Accessory Power?

    The title is a mouthful of engineer-speak... So I am looking through the owners manual to see if the accessory power outlet in the front console is constant hot or retained accessory power (which I think it is) and I come across this tidbit: "The power outlet near the cupholders for vehicles...
