    Bad alternator?

    Thanks. Will keep that in mind. My only change was the alternator and it's the first time I've had this issue. Forgot to add that it kicked on a service charging system message. I drove the vehicle (sans trailer) this morning keeping it in first and second, along with 3-2 drop, no issue. Gonna...

    Bad alternator?

    I monitor my gauges pretty regularly since I generally pull several grades while towing as well as run through desert sections. I've not noticed anything that extreme. Prior to that stop I had many gear drops to 2nd over the course of a few hours as I battled a head wind. There was minimal if...

    Bad alternator?

    While towing my TT home on Saturday, my alternator started making a terrible noise. Like a blender eating itself. Out of a fear of being stranded on a hwy in BFE I decided to locate one and replace it. It failed the two checks on the Vatozone scanner. Note, I did not observe any erratic readings...

    There's a 2008 6.0L from a 2500 available for $800 near me...

    I went with HP tuners, had a friend help get it to start (startup air) and then took it too a dyno shop (still debating whether or not I wasted money on that). If you have the time, you can do it yourself with HP tuners (their forum is good resource). Patience is needed for something like this...

    Sure. If he swaps the cam though, eliminating VVT, then some amount of tuning will need to be done regardless. At that point it doesn't matter too much.

    Why do you need the ECU?

    Dang. That's a killer price. I paid $2500 with shipping from IL for my junker LY6 (08 2500). It came from a junkyard that "tested" it. Tore it down to the short block and sent the heads to a machine shop. Been great for two years so far. You end up reaching out to the seller?

    DOD / AFM delete parts

    I went with a Brian Tooley Racing kit a couple years ago. It was only missing a couple gaskets. I forget which, but they were easy to get last minute. I did an engine swap, so my needs may be a little bit different than what yours are. Texas Speed also has a kit. Should be able to chat with a...

    Experience with Dobinsons rear coils?

    I have too, specifically when I had my 4runner. They were a company that regularly came up when suspension upgrades were discussed. Thanks for the name, I've seen that company mentioned before, but couldn't remember them. Custom was another route that I was considering. How much did you pay for...

    Experience with Dobinsons rear coils?

    I'm currently running a 4" BDS lift with the rear shocks and spring spacer that came with the kit. Springs are currently from Cargo Maxx. Compared to the front end, the parts for the rear feel like an afterthought. Does anyone have any experience with the coils from Dobinsons? Looks like there...

    Trans temp gauge

    My transmission and convertor are FUBAR. Transmission guy couldn't even take everything apart because parts are melted together. Is the radiator you have the drop in replacement one, or a universal one?

    Trans temp gauge

    My Tahoe is running a tune via HPTuners as well. Who worked on your tune? Anyone from the HPTuners forum? Also, how is the mishimoto radiator? Is it drop in? I somewhat cleaned out my trans cooler lines and noticed a bunch of metal bits. Am going to pull the current radiator to flush, and am...

    Trans temp gauge

    Never heard of that, looks interesting. Are you using one? Does it stay plugged in?

    Trans temp gauge

    Anyone add a trans temp gauge to the A pillar or elsewhere on the dash? Or have a good link to what someone else has done? I fried my transmission to ring in the new year, and I'd like to avoid it in the future if possible. I generally monitor temps (long trips and towing) through the gauge...

    2012 tahoe engine swap 5.3 to 6.0

    Check onallcylinders.com for engine specs. I swapped my LMG out last year for an LY6, that site was extremely helpful in identifying differences. In my instance, LMG injectors flow better than those in an LY6, so I had them rebuilt and flow tested to use in the LY6. Outside of that I also...

    Frame stripping and sway bar link advice

    An air hammer would be good in the big areas. Compressor will be running non-stop! I've used different types of wire wheels as well, but they can get gunked up and fling that crap everywhere. That's why I like the putty knife or scraper to take care of bulk removal. Makes clean up easier too...

    Frame stripping and sway bar link advice

    I've been doing the undercarriage on mine a section at time. Depends on what I'm working on. That stuff is nasty. My focus is always somewhere else so I don't have an exact process dialed it. Generally speaking though, I always resort to stiff blade putty knife and then simple green as the last...

    Anyone know of a remote tuner who uses HP Tuner?

    I'm looking for someone tune my truck using HP Tuner, know of someone in Vegas or AZ? Or remote? I have the interface and credits for my vehicle, just looking for someone knowledgable to iron out my idle and dial in my tune. Car runs and I've been dialing in the VVE table, but it does not like...

    BDS Lift Kit Delays!

    Order my kit at the end of September last year. Didn't get it until beginning of December I believe. Don't recall exact date. They were waiting on parts. I had a similar experience as far as the communication goes, same answer over and over again. The waiting around definitely sucked, but after...

    Replacement Wiper Arms?

    It's not off the table, but I have other pressing to-do items so $45 would be well worth it to me. Based off internet pics I like the look of the police package arms. The stock ones look so dainty. A couple avalanche forum threads I've come across discuss it but don't go into detail.

    Replacement Wiper Arms?

    Wiper arms on my tahoe are faded and peeling. Anyone have experience with the Dorman replacements? Reviews on Amazon are very mixed regarding fit and finish. Price from Rockauto including shiping is about half of OEM from GM Parts Direct. I'm purchasing some other items so I'd like to get...

    Let's see some pics of some lifted and leveled

    Finished installing a BDS lift kit this past week. 4" in front and 3" in rear with 2.5 Fox DSC's in the front. Because of the vehicle's age, I ended up replacing additional suspension parts which prolonged completion. Only pieces that aren't new are the lower front arms, sway bars, track bar and...
