    Frustrating Camber Issues

    So after doing a 3/4" Belltech drop kit I had the truck aligned. Even with the 2* camber bushings pressed into the UCAs, I can't get any better than -1.5* of camber (on each side). That's not even in the normal range. On top of that the caster is WAY off, like 7*, but I don't care about that...

    Did my first UOA - high lead - bearing wear?

    Did my first UOA this past changed, the truck has 176k miles now. Runs pretty well all things considered. The UOA is showing high wear, which they note could be bearing wear. That doesn't seem to be a common problem with the LS engines, correct? Anything else it could be? Thanks in advance.

    Need new shocks... thinking of a 2/3 drop... advice?

    So at 175k miles my front shocks are toast. I’m thinking about running some drop shocks (McG? Belltech?) for a 2/3” drop... anyone else done this? Does it actually drop 2/3” and is the ride comfortable? Seems like everyone prefers to do the spindle drop but since my shocks need replacement this...

    Lifter tick when cold? Berryman B12?

    So my 5.3L Tahoe with 170k miles has developed a loud lifter tick when the engine is cold. Once warmed up it is totally gone. This has been going on the past few thousand miles, so it may be related to my oil (I had just switched to Lubri-Moly Molygen 5w30). I've run Kreen through the oil...

    Best octane fuel for fuel eceonomy? (5.3L only)

    Keyfobs acting up?

    So a few days ago my main keyfob stopped working. Then I went and grabbed my 2 spares and neither of them works. Their weird thing is, after I lock the car manually the fobs will work for a little while... making me think something is failing intermittently. Anyone have this before?

    Dark titanium dash color match?

    So the “dark titanium” on the upper part of my dash seems to chip and scratch very easily. It’s looking pretty worn around the radio, even though I use the proper plastic pry tools. I’m hoping to touch up a few spots, was wondering if anyone knows a paint that is a good match. Thanks! Cyrus

    Rotor / Pad Recommendations?

    I'll be coming up on front rotors/pad soon, with the rears not far behind. I don't tow very much, but I can really feel my 22"s when braking (I need something with a little more bite). Here's what I'm looking for: - Good bite (I don't care about dust) - Long lasting - Rust protection -...

    Common suspension wear points?

    Hi all, So my Tahoe has 170k miles and has had 3 owners (it has lived well!). Even with new wheels/tires that were Hunter Road Force balanced I have a slight vibration over 70mph that is driving me nuts. It's nothing terrible, but I drive at that speed for 60+ miles a day so it wears on me...

    So I had a transmission flush done on my 170k-mile Tahoe and now...

    The shifting is very smooth. :D It used to buck a little bit going into gear, and that is noticeably better now. My mechanic (who I trust very much though he's a Toyota/Honda specialist!) says he only runs the flush at 10psi which is about 1/3 of what the factory pump runs at - he said this...

    Best way to do a slight drop and keep the rake?

    I think 2/2 would be perfect for me. All the pics I see of a 2/3 I think a little more rake would look good. Is there any way to do a 2/2 drop? Thanks, Cyrus

    Anyone with a Street Scene hitch cover?

    Just got mine in the mail today, and I knew fitment would be poor. The top corners stick out a little too much and it seems the bottom may be pushing in a little too hard. I was just wondering, for those of you who have it, how you adjusted it? Heat gun? Sanding? I plan to take it a...

    Rusty A/C Belt?

    So looking over my Tahoe today, I noticed the A/C belt is very red/brown. The main drive belt, however, is black. Neither shows any cracks, but I have no idea when they were replaced as I bought the truck with 148k miles on it. The A/C Belt says Micro-V on it so I assume its a Gates belt...

    Door won't open from the inside?

    Hey there, hoping you guys can help me with this one. My rear passenger's door won't open from the inside - but opens normally from the outside. The child lock is off. I pulled off the door panel, and when I pull the ball/wire for the interior unlock mechanism, I can hear it things working at...

    Need help with prolonged cold start...

    So I replaced my sparkplugs last weekend, didn't have any problems or notice any issues. Since that time, when cold, the truck cranks for about 5 seconds before starting. If I leave it in "ACC" for a few seconds the fuel primes and starts normally; it also doesn't have any issues starting when...

    Part # for wheel liner bolts?

    Hey guys, My Tahoe came missing some of the 7mm wheel liner bolts. No big deal I thought - found some replacements on eBay, but they started rusting after 2 days (while the original 12 year old GM parts are still black). Any idea what the part # for these are? Thanks, Cyrus

    New-to-me Tahoe w/ 150k miles - maintenance?

    Hey guys, I bought an ‘07 Hoe a few months back and well... I love it. Planned to just keep it through the winter but plans have changed and I’m going to keep it long term. The first owner had the car to 120k miles and took great care of her (Amsoil everything, great preventative care). The...

    Rear wiper and rear defroster not working... any connection?

    Hey guys, So my rear wiper doesn’t work (you can hear the motor clicking but the arm never moves) and my rear defroster isn’t working. Any possible connection to the two? I’ve checked some fuses, all seem ok. I checked the wiring to the hatch, no burns/frays. The defroster tabs are still...
