    suggestions for power steering gearbox.

    Took the old hoe in to get an alignment last week and was told she couldnt be aligned due to a loose gearbox. After driving 1100 miles to Arizona and back through 50 MPH wind I realized just how bad the steering has gotten. Does anyone have any suggestions for brands of steering boxes? Is...

    Second thoughts on level kit.

    Would you happen to know the height from ground to fender on the stock z71 LOL?

    Second thoughts on level kit.

    Well I originally wanted to install a level kit on my 03 tahoe when re doing my suspension and shove some meaty tires in there but I have decided against going that route for now. I have already purchased everything for my suspension refurb including the bilstein 5100s ford keys, 2 inch spacers...

    Adjustable rear control arms....Help

    Thanks for all the replies everyone I think I was mostly confused because I had seen they were mostly being used in a lowered situation and was wondering why they wouldn't be as necessary in a lifted scenario but now it makes sense! As far as fitting 35's on a 4.5in lift I have seen it done...

    Adjustable rear control arms....Help

    So I have a pile of suspension components building on the side of my bed to soon be installed on the hoe:rockit:. I have slowly bought the parts to finish rebuilding my front end and make the tahoe ready for my future adventures. I have all the parts to do the ford key swap with the bilstein...

    Mini Norcal Mod

    Sorry to revive an old thread but I was curious how the hoe drives after the mini norcal? Are you getting any more rub anywhere?

    Rear Diff cover question.

    Thanks for the feedback! Proform had gotten back to me yesterday saying the cover was slightly less than 3.5 inches tall and after measuring the distance between the cover and panhard bar (approx 3.5 inches LOL) I decided it was too close for comfort.

    Rear Diff cover question.

    Yeah I was scrounging the website hoping to find some details but had no luck so I sent them an email. Hopefully they will get back to me sooner than later. Thanks for the help!

    Rear Diff cover question.

    Okay so not to long ago I noticed my rear diff cover has a couple hairline cracks that are slowly leaking. Being the totally reasonable person I am I feel as though buying a new OEM cover just cant possible suffice :birgits_tiredcoffee. I have my eye on an aftermarket cover...

    What is this noise/clunk in my drivetrain? Slip Yoke?

    After a 1700 mile road trip my Hoe developed a similar clunk in the rear end that only seems to happen occasionally from a slow take off/ start. I would prefer to just add some grease first before throwing money at a new slip yolk but I have seen multiple people state that greasing the slip yolk...

    What is the best sounding exhaust 03 yukon denali 6.0

    Black Widow Venom :head3: Had one welded in the first week I bought it and I love it. The idle is so nice and your neighbors will definitely know when you pull out of the driveway.

    Post your lifts.

    @00'BlueSteel When you were running just the leveling kit with the Cognito UCA's did you have to use limit straps as well? Ive read conflicting reports whether you do or dont need them.

    Light trail modifications.

    Whats up everyone its been a while since I have done much with the hoe not for lack of ideas and things in need of attention. My aging auto ride system probably doesnt have too much life left in it so Im planning to just get rid of the system and going with the bilstein swap But I have a couple...

    Rear Differential fluid....Which one?

    Alright folks the internet has resulted a lot of conflicting information/opinions on whether or not to use a gear oil with the limited slip additive on trucks with the G80 rear diff. The only place to get the oil without the LS additive is through a stealership for almost 30 per bottle...that or...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Today I had a black widow 250 muffler installed on the stock pipes and WOW what a difference in sound. The hoe is sounding great now even the manager at the shop where I had it installed seemed awfully fond of the tone (he sells flowmaster). I also have had a fresh set of mastercraft courser...

    What made you go with an SUV over a Truck?

    I was T boned into a new tahoe by some :manos:. I had wanted to trade in for a truck for a few years now but it was mostly wishful thinking as I didnt intend to part with the camry (was my first car ). I went and looked at a few silverados that were all priced well above what I paid for the...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Ill play along here, I bought my 03 on the 4th and have been replacing most of the standard stuff. The first thing I had to do was change the knock sensors since I had a p0322 code appear on my way home from buying it :893Chainsaw-Smilie-. I called the guy back and asked if he had been getting...

    Ah I see...thanks for clearing that up! I will most likely get some ford keys with z71 springs and new bilsteins soon it sounds like... most of my "offroading" will be washboard dirt roads an such not sand dune smashing or anything too serious.

    So after reading more into these trucks im kind of confused. I read that only the z71 package came with fender flares/ roof rack skid plate etc but mine is an lt and has all these features. I do know mine is the 4.10 geared tow package so I dont know if that version also included the z71...

    Thanks fellas I was pretty smitten when I saw it :love62:. I cant wait to get her to the sierras for some fishing/camping... maybe some beer too :happy160:. What is everyones preference for shocks on these things? Is the stock 4x4 decently offroad capable with a good set of rubber or is it...

    Whats up yall, I purchased a new to me 2003 chevy tahoe with 165000 miles recently after I was T boned in my camry. I had been wanting to trade in for a truck of some sort for quite some time now but I was hesitant to pull the trigger since the camry had been so reliable for me. I guess luckily...
