    Well , I went and done it !!!!!!

    Most definently I was in the Wrong place right time , or something like it . The rocks never stopped . I knew something was going happen . Hell it looked feasible on Google . I've been driving these roads (learned here ) since 68' , and always wanted to try Como the back way in . I was fed up ...

    Questions for those in the "NO"

    I tore my 01' Tahoe up last night . It didn't deserve it , but I did it any way . I've looked for a thread about swapping in a K2500 running gear . Can that be done ? If it can what will I need , and what can I get from the local P-n-Pull "

    Well , I went and done it !!!!!!

    I decided I'd had enough of Lock-Down so I got in the Hoe and went for a ride a lonnngggg ride . My Old Man took us kids to a Ghost Town called Como in 72' . We live below that mountain and I have always wanted to "TRY" the back way in . Great drive , saw an Antelope , but not much else (It's...

    These Springs or Those Springs ?

    I'm still looking and considering : 1] New Springs 2] . It would help if I could find the Tech. Info on those rear springs . I've also looked at the Monroe Shocks with the coil springs . They give about 550 extra lbs. each . The thing that concerns me are the spring rates . I don't want a sloppy...

    These Springs or Those Springs ?

    Sounds like a good idea , Steve ! I haven't found anything that OEM . I hate that jacked-up rear , In the 70's here in Nevada we called them "Stink Bugs" . Yeah , 215,000 mile springs and weak Rancho 5000 shocks is not a good combination . The Tahoe has some piston slap for the first couple...

    These Springs or Those Springs ?

    I hope you're all well as can be . Out here in "Rural" it's harder to get near people , if you know what I mean . Sparsely Populated comes to mind . When we get an all clear I'm going to sell / trade the Tahoe for a Suburban . In the meantime I have to put springs underneath it . I've...

    Woot ! Another suspension thread !!

    Thanks , Dub ,, I have an old compressor for a Air Ride system from an 86' Custom Cruiser but no controller for in-cab . I don't know if it pushes enough pressure to raise/hold bags up . Any idea how much psi. is needed ?

    Woot ! Another suspension thread !!

    Thanks , great idea ! Too bad I sold my hitch set-up about 5 years ago (I don't need this anymore moment ) . Reese and Curt are my 2 Go-to's .

    Woot ! Another suspension thread !!

    Mainly I want the truck to be pretty much level . Like it is , I'm blinding UFO's Ride not being "stiff" I wouldn't know how to act . Out here you can cut tires on rocks QUICK ! Many years ago I took to running 10 ply All Terrain KO's . It ain't fun getting stuck in the desert because you cut...

    Woot ! Another suspension thread !!

    Thanks , I was disappointed to see how that tail end sunk with an empty trailer . It's got all of it's original springs .

    Woot ! Another suspension thread !!

    I've been sitting here reading some of the posts . I've got a 2001 Tahoe w/215k miles . I haven't found much for my dilemma . So , what's going on is I have a 16' utility trailer , I hooked it up with the Tahoe , no load on the trailer and the Tahoe squatted just over 2" . It has Rancho 5000...

    Another OBD II question

    Thanks for the great info . I got on-line as soon as I saw the replies . Of course I found ELM327 . I kept digging and there was another one I found it's called a "Blue Drive" , bit pricey but a lot of reviews for the good . When I went on Amazon and found the ELM unit , and a lot of hand-held's...

    Another OBD II question

    Merry Christmas folks ! I have done some research here about BT / App Diagnostic "tools" and it's left me with a few questions . What I'm wondering first of all if these ELM BT are still good for Androids , or has there been a better mousetrap been built recently ? Concerning the TorqueApp for...

    Question about Premium Ride Suspension

    Out here in the Nevada Desert , often 5,000' + in valleys even , I like the A/C etc. but Old School is can be a lifesaver ! In an hour you can be nearly 100 miles from nowhere . The desert here is some times Monochromatic in a sense , but awe inspiring at the same time . The gearing in my K5 was...

    Question about Premium Ride Suspension

    Thanks for the info ! I just got rid of a 2011 Ram 1500 , I've had K5 Blazers , 94' Tahoe , 96' Bronco , 78' Dodge W250 , and maybe a few more . trucks ,,, too many to list . The Ram was throwing tantrums with the Tranny (here $5k P/L) . The 4.7L was not enough with even a decent load . The K5 I...

    Question about Premium Ride Suspension
