    Shock Upgrade

    Thanks for the input. I'm not really looking to save money as I've had the truck for 10 years and never had to put any money into it other than upgrades. I like the idea of adjustable and would like to upgrade from stock. I might try the Ranchos, unless there is a better option for...

    Shock Upgrade

    I have a 2011 Tahoe Z71 with 60K miles and the dealer just told me I had to replace my front shocks. I was thinking about upgrading them to Rancho RS9100XL, adjustable shocks on front and rear. Has anyone tried these and noticed a difference using the adjustable feature, or is this sort of a...

    Finally Jumped on the Oil Catch Can Bandwagon

    Just make sure to frequently check and empty your catch can. I had no issues for the first couple years cause my driving habits didn't change, then the Wu Flu hit and I wasn't driving as much. We then started taking long trips and I sort of forgot about it until my check engine light went on...

    Drag reduction clips

    Thanks, I was figuring I'd have to take a look myself, perhaps he didn't bother to look at the instructions.

    Drag reduction clips

    I have a 2011 Z71 Tahoe and recently replaced my pads/rotors with Powerstop Z23 both front and rear. I got some Drag Reduction clips (part# below), but the mechanic said they didn't seem to fit right so he didn't put them on. Did I get the wrong clips? Is there a trick to getting these...

    Diy catch can install

    The original post said "just cutting that hose and installing the catch can in the middle of it". I was pointing out that a few feet of fuel hose is needed. In your picture you cut the line and used a couple feet of fuel hose, you did not just install the can in the middle of the existing...

    Diy catch can install

    You can't just cut the hose. The 2011 is a hard plastic line. You'll need enough 3/8" Fuel Hose to reach where you are mounting your catch can. Remove the factory line, cut the line at the connectors, make sure to leave enough to slip the fuel hose over and tighten with hose clamps. Hose...

    Paid off my 13' should I trade it while it's worth $$

    I'm in a similar situation, 2011/Z71/43K, in near perfect condition. I paid it off a couple years back, and can't tell you how much fun it is to drive a car without a car payment. I was at the dealer the other day for scheduled maintenance, and saw a new Z71 on the lot. The only difference...

    Found a 12.1 android head unit that incorporates HVAC factory system controls

    I'd stay away, the Android is over 2 year old, 2GB RAM is half of what you get from a $250 Pumpkin unit off Amazon (Not promoting Pumpkin either). Also, there is a ton of stuff your current unit does that this probably won't support (built-in hand free phone, steering wheel controls, connect...

    Get a catch can before any mods.

    Actually it's not that bad. The picture is a little misleading, as I turned the cup and it spread out a little. It's probably at most 1/2 a teaspoon, also I checked the mileage and it was closer to 90. If I continue at this pace, at around 5000 miles I should have around 3 oz. (12 tsp / 1 oz)...

    Get a catch can before any mods.

    Just installed my catch can yesterday. Drove around 50-60 miles today, and opened it to see if it would show any signs of working. See attached.

    Grill mounted light bar.

    Well I finally got my 32" curved Nilight installed after returning the 42". It was a huge pain as it seemed anything that could go wrong went wrong. First of all the 32" curved mounting brackets sit right on top of some raised plastic pieces that need to be trimmed off for a flat fit, use a...

    Grill mounted light bar.

    1st attempt - aborted I have a 2011 Z71, and the 42" (Nilight 42" 240W curved) curved I purchased didn't fit. I was able to squeeze it in place but when you try and make space for the side mounts you run out of space. Perhaps if you remove the bumper and grill, you could make room, but that...

    Tuning out afm and cam swap question

    My 2011 Z71 has 40K miles, do I really need to switch out the cam and lifters or could I just do the afm delete and wait? At the rate I'm going +100K will take me another decade.

    Has anyone installed a light bar in their grill and can you connect it to your high beam switch?

    Brakes: OEM vs After market?

    I have a 2011 Tahoe Z71, with 40K mostly city miles. I'm still on the original brakes, which is amazing to me given the way I drive, and the fact I came from a Land Rover D2 which had to replace pads and rotors every 20k. So my question is, are after market really that much better than what...

    Tuning out afm and cam swap question

    I have a 2011 Tahoe, and after reading here, I'm getting so!d on the idea of a AFM delete, cam and lifter replacement. Can someone give me a rough estimate as to how much it cost? Also, any ideas where to get it done in the DC area?
