    Dustin Jacksons 2008 Chevy Tahoe Build Thread

    An update, my wifes about 3,000 miles into the new transmission and all is good but the front main seal is leaking pretty good. She said the transmission hit 220 when she was driving to visit her mom in Oregon. I called the transmission shop and they asked me to drop it off. 2 days later they...

    2008 Suspension Upgrades - Bilstein's or Height Adjustable Shocks

    @usdlawstudent I just left my air hoses hanging, the compressor runs for a few seconds on startup and that's it no dash lights.

    Bilstein 6112 Review at 20,000 miles

    Bilstein make some darn good shocks that completely change the ride. I put a set of 5100s on Tahoe 6 years ago and put then on my suburban a few months ago. Turned both of them from boats into what I describe as "on rails" just a very confidence inspiring driving experience and they eat up bumps...

    2019 vs. 2007 hub compatibility??

    @want2ride Seems like that could be it, in this picture the one on the right is the 2015

    Rear driver side leaning

    That's interesting. The setup is pretty straight forward, with the rough country shocks the ride height is dictated by the height of the springs, if you went through 2 sets of rear springs and the problem persists I imagine you would have noticed anything wrong back there. How does the front look?

    2015 Suburban front end refresh

    I identified a loose lower balljoint and at 190,000 miles I figured it would be good to refresh it while I was in there. I opted to press in new lower balljoints because in my experience the lower control arm bushings are usually fine and I wanted to save some money. I have aluminum suspension...

    2015 Aluminum lower balljoint replacement

    Thanks guys. I used Moog CK on my 08 Tahoe and things didn’t last long, about 3-4 years. Now I’m running mevotech TTX and timken bearings on the Tahoe. Since making this post I did some research and settled for the brass moog lower balljoints and mevotech (non ttx) upper control arms, and then...

    2015 Aluminum lower balljoint replacement

    Had my 2015 suburban a few months now and it’s always had a shake but could never detect the cause. Today I jacked up the driver side wheel and found all kinds of lower balljoint play. Now I believe I have aluminum control arms and knuckles, are the lower balljoints replaceable or do I need to...

    (Partially solved, DOD delete is completed) Need help. DOD delete went south…

    @thefrey When you consider what's happening inside the motor they can be expected to make a little noise

    Low Oil Pressure

    @XLDenali11 That sounds fine to me, mine idles under the first line and gets around 40 when driving around.

    Dustin Jacksons 2008 Chevy Tahoe Build Thread

    Hey quys, quick update. In September my wifes Civic was totaled so I bought myself a 2015 Suburban at the beginning of October and my wife has been daily driving the Tahoe now. At 213,000 miles my wife got home and said that the transmission said it was overheating and wasn't shifting right. I...

    Help identifying shocks

    Those are goofy load assist shocks that people put on their SUVs when the air system fails or when they sag too much when towing. It’s the wrong way to accomplish a goal in my opinion.

    Transmission replacement approaches

    I'd explore the warranty route first. My first transmission lasted 17 years, I'd be a little upset if the next one only lasted 2 !

    Transmission replacement approaches

    @15burban Thats good info. If you have an engine hoist at home you can order all kinds of freight without having a business or loading bay.

    [SOLVED] Need help identifying oil leak when the car is on

    @thefrey Because the front and rear covers are part of the oil pan sealing situation I was never sure which to install first. How was aligning the front cover with the oil pan in place, or did you loosen the oil pan?

    [SOLVED] Need help identifying oil leak when the car is on

    One time I tried removing a jeep 4.0 motor from a cherokee without removing the front grill and I wasted so much time and bashed things around in the engine bay and turns out it was only 6 screws to remove the front grill and gave me all the space in the world. I learned something that day

    [SOLVED] Need help identifying oil leak when the car is on

    @thefrey I hear you man but it's really not that bad, you just need to get the water pump off which is just coolant hoses, belt, and 6 bolts. After that you just need to remove the harmonic balancer and then you can remove the cover. The harmonic balancer is what I consider to be the hardest...

    [SOLVED] Need help identifying oil leak when the car is on

    @thefrey I haven't gotten around to doing it but since the cover is how you adjust the placement I would take it all off and do it right. Get the cover cleaned up with a new seal and get it centered using the proper tool. Make sure you lube up the seal so when you put everything back together...
