    Autoride or Bilstein 5100 shocks?

    I replaced mine because I saw oil seeping out of the top on the rear ones. I figured with 200+k it was time to replace them.

    HELP! Swap in a Vortec 8.1 or build my 5.3??

    For what it's worth, I vote 8.1. I love mine in my suburban. There is not a ton of aftermarket support for it without some deep pockets. But it is a low end torque machine and runs amazing for what it is on my Blackbear 91/93 tune. GM performance finally offers a conversion kit to mount a 6l90...

    Any issues with lux upgrade with aftermarket head unit?

    I did add the mic too. Dark green goes to B1 and the stripped green/black goes to B2. Sorry for the delayed response, I had to find my notes from when I did this upgrade. If I remember correctly, I had to change the wires to get my mic to work. I believe some of the forums and write ups say...

    Why do people say the 5.3 Vortec is slow?

    My wife drives '12 z71 5.3 and I drive an 8.1 Suburban and can see a marked difference in power. Drop the 6.0 and put in the 496.

    Any issues with lux upgrade with aftermarket head unit?

    Pin A1 on the RSE is the Class 2 wire you need to tap and put into pin B10 of the amp harness. I am very pleased with my lux upgrade in my 04; hopefully you will like yours as well.

    Autoride or Bilstein 5100 shocks?

    I have a 2004 2500 8.1 Suburban with autoride and I replaced all four shocks this past summer. It rides well and handles much better now, especially when towing. Wal-Mart.com had the best prices when I was looking for them. The 2500 series Autoride set up is different though, all four corners...

    Wheel Guru Assistance

    These are my oem wheels. The specs I posted earlier are the ones I got from call Discount Tire. I am in no way knowledgeable with regards to backspacing and offset which is why I asked for assistance. The specifications on the rims that were gifted to me are from the manufacturer website...

    Thank you all for your replies. The wheels I have now are oem 16 inch. I believe the factory offset is +28mm and the backspace is 5.60. The new rims are xd82089080718 with +18 offset and 5.71 backspace. I'm not too worried about acceleration, it's a 3/4 ton suburban "quick" is not what she was...

    I have a 2004 2500 8.1 4L85E 4x4 Suburban with stock 245/75R16 tires. My cousin has blown the engine on his truck and has given me a set of 18 inch rims that have a +18 offset. The tires on the new rim set are LT285/65R18 which I believe is just under 33 inches. 1.) What would I have to do to...

    Moving backup cam from mirror to radio

    I tapped the mirror feed in my 2012 Z71 when I upgraded to the HDD radio. The wires on mine where in a foil wrapping. I found it easier to drop the headliner down a little on the drivers side so that I could grab the wires and pull on them hard enough to release them from the tape that is...
