    How do y’all feel about towing 3500lbs in Drive?

    I wonder if what you don't like is the behavior while the torque converter is unlocked and then later feeling it when it engages and is no longer slipping?

    What did you do to your 2015-2020 K2XX Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Drove several hours round trip to get cheap cheap carpet and interior trim panels for my C5. I probably need to vacuum and spray down the whole rear hatch area as that carpet was gross but it is salvageable with a carpet cleaner and some effort.

    2018 Yukon Denali with magnetic ride. Ride height question

    You say yours sits perfectly level but then you post a picture showing the same front down rake that all Tahoe/Yukon/Escalades have.

    I keep thinking about selling this because I am going to lose my garage across town later this year and I'll then be trying to park 5 cars in 2 spots especially when 2 of those are crew cab trucks. Then I go and drive it and I don't want to get rid of it anymore. I'm attached to my Duramax (it...

    I've had this 98 C5 for over 10 years and it's just over 79k miles now. I moved on to many other cars and projects because I was never sure how to build it without ruining it but I figured it out now. It's going to stay a street car but be capable of drifting as a backup/every-once-in-a-while...

    Man, that sucks. If it makes you feel better I overtorqued the first of my intake manifold bolts and ended up with this Monday night. Was able to sit a nut right above it and weld the two together but I'm not sure how much that helps you. Lucky for me the threads were clean and I just didn't...

    2017 Air Dam trim or removal?

    For those that don't get it go put a vehicle with the valence right next to the one without and you visually get a 1-2" front end lift out of it and the reverse is true for every sports car that runs a body kit that makes it look slammed to the ground. I can also state that our 2014 Sierra lost...

    Drove it through a short monsoon to go work on the street car. Time for the Corvette to actually make more power than my Denali :rotflmao:

    What did you do to your 2015-2020 K2XX Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Took my door card off to replace the driver window regulator (I had expertly diagnosed a stuck regulator based on previous experience and absolutely zero investigating) only to discover that it was just the stupid foam block that had detached from the door skin and was blocking the glass halfway...

    I've been hearing this my whole life and it has never been a problem. As a matter of fact I've only had blank rotors warp on me ever.

    Competition Mode active

    Competition mode on Corvettes is basically you can slide the rear end without it trying to immediately gain traction and murder you but it will also save you from overdoing that slide into a ditch. It's surprisingly okay at its' job.

    There is always the story of the transmissions that work until you change the fluid which gets rid of all the friction material built up over time.

    Replacement Battery

    My understanding has been that virgin lead scarcity/price is the reason for batteries being trash the last 10+ years. You have to spend quite a lot on an enthusiast lead acid battery to have one that rivals the old days for longevity.

    Replacement Battery

    Somehow I left it out of my post but originally the battery was bought through Smicklas Chevrolet, dealership my friend worked at, and they got bought out and are now Classic Chevrolet. We took the truck to Bob Howard GMC and they were a separate dealership that honored the warranty. I was also...

    Replacement Battery

    Any dealer should be able to honor that warranty and I just dealt with this last year. The new dealer didn't want to do the full longer battery test and the battery would just squeak by on the quick test. We had brought it in for a trans flush and specifically their longer battery test while...

    Lug Nut replacement...

    Just in case anyone else was curious here is the OEM capped variety right next to the OEM solid chrome variety. Both are 22mm but one sucks and one doesn't. I added a capped lug nut to the wheel in the second picture to show how easy it is to tell them apart in person. The capped lug nuts are...

    Lug Nut replacement...

    GM sells solid lug nuts that are nice. I used to be able to pick up a set on eBay for $30-50 but my last set cost me $82 but included a lock set. These are a dramatically better lug nut and I have a rubbermaid tub with hundreds of the crappy capped variety.

    Show off your 2015+ leveled Tahoes and Yukons!

    I think if you are coming from working magride then it will feel far softer in a good way but it may also make you immediately want stiffer sway bars also (like me). Overall a definite improvement.

    I haven't really messed with TPU and under-hood environments but some ABS blend is still my go-to for high temp areas and most car things I print. I feel like when I got into printing like 2016 or 2017 everybody and their dog was trying to steer every new would-be-printer away from ABS as it can...

    2015 buying advice, what to look for?

    My 2015 Denali does speed up and slow down so did they really make 3 different levels of cruise control in 2015? I would also argue that most of the time while I don't mind the adaptive cruise it is absolutely brutal about minor things causing it to absolutely demolish your momentum if you are...

    What did you do to your 2015-2020 K2XX Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    The best deal I could find was from JBTools on Amazon because I had a big Amazon gift card refund to spend. In my specific experience the Hellwig feels much better and I believe it to be a stiffer bar as well compared to the Hotchkis. I had a weak customer service experience and had the wrong...

    What did you do to your 2015-2020 K2XX Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    I got my Hellwig sway bar in a couple of days ago and I am pretty shocked at how improved the ride and handling is. I can't really say for sure that I ever got a fair shake with the Hotchkis but it WAS a positive improvement over my 10 year old stock bar and bushings at first at least. The...

    Tire Noise Reduction -- Any Experiences with Fender Liner and/or Fenderwell Treatments?

    You might think so until you go to clean it up :rotflmao:

    Tire Noise Reduction -- Any Experiences with Fender Liner and/or Fenderwell Treatments?

    I may have to give the extreme version a try but my guess is that it really comes down to how long it sits in the heat and since I'm in Oklahoma there are weeks straight where the outside temp never drops below 90 degrees. I should have also said that the thinner fatmat I've applied over the...
