    Doors automatically lock when vehicle starts

    There's not really any programming, you cycle through settings on the steering wheel. As far as after market I had one out on since day 1 but can't remember how far back this issue goes. I will try and Google my alarm to see. Thanks

    Doors automatically lock when vehicle starts

    I have an 05 tahoe. I know how to work vehicle settings. I currently have it to lock with speed and unlock in park. The problem is when I put the key in to on or start it, all in park, the vehicle locks. I was looking for some sort of reset or recalibration. I run the risk when my wife...

    Magnaflow vs Thrust Turbo

    Also got to thinking, would I get better sound/performance from a single in/out (or dual out) chambered magnaflow vs a true dual Turbo Thrust???

    Magnaflow vs Thrust Turbo

    Narrowed it to these 2, I'd prefer Magnaflows because I like the sound but my shop (who sells both) suggested the Turbo's (not the Welded) saying they are similar to the Magnaflows without the name recognition and price tag. Although I've listened to clips on youtube and others, are the Turbo's...

    Would you spend the money?

    I am the original owner of a stock 05 Tahoe LS with 4wd. It is an AZ and GA SUV- no rust, never off road or tow. Brakes and tires and scheduled fluid changes have been all that's needed. 125,000 miles. My local shop will do a 2" level, Bilsteins all around, 285/70/17 Nitto Grapllers, on...

    Any advice before I pull the trigger...

    In my weariness I incorrectly put Flowmaster, I corrected the post to show Magnaflow, which is what I meant. I looked into Spindles, my understanding is they are for 2wd only??? Thanks

    Any advice before I pull the trigger...

    The wife just passed along the 05 Tahoe 4wd to me with 122k miles. We are the only owners, all stock, nothing ever done but brakes and tires. So after going back and forth on new truck payment or Mods on my paid for hoe, mods it is. After trolling forever, here is what I hope to go with. I...

    Rear Glass only defrosts on top Half...

    This morning I had to use the rear defrost. From about exactly mid point up defrosted as it should, from that point down, nothing. My wires on both sides of glass are in good shape and connected. Never happened before until today. Is there a fix or am I looking at replacement? If it's very...

    Nissan Wheels/Tires for my Tahoe?

    I was wondering if these would work- “Selling my stock 275 70R18 (33's) tires and 18" wheels off of my titan Pro-4X. They are in perfect condition, no nics, scratches or cuts. I am also leaving the tire sensors installed in them as well.” I’ve seen that Nissan Wheels can be used on the...

    Mechanically ignorant, can u help?

    I'm going to go conservative and have "decided" on the below level kit (going to keep the 16's and get a larger tire when the time comes). Since my Tahoe has about 115k miles probably won't hurt to have shocks changed as well (as opposed to extenders). Assuming this kit achieves the...

    Mechanically ignorant, can u help?

    I follow you both and thanks. That being said, should I just go with a body lift to achieve 2 or so more inches? My thought being it wouldn't stress out the parts the keys/torsion would and I would achieve the height without stiffening the ride. Cost wise, that would be a happy medium between...

    Mechanically ignorant, can u help?

    I have been all over this site and talked with my local shop. I have a stock 05 4wd with 16"s. Not looking to dump a ton of $$ into it but want a more aggressive look Will probably keep 16"s and add a bigger tire). I was told start with a level kit then add a body lift if not enough. So my...

    What can I expect from Black Bear?

    I am original owner of an 05 hoe LS with 4wd. Looking to make some slight mods, body lift, wheels/tires and exhaust. Debating on a tune and narrowed to BB. Vehicle is a daily driver, about never tows anything. What do I gain by a tune except a lighter wallet? 115,000 miles, did a tune up at...

    Broke Cargo security shade???

    Bought a cargo shade of ebay. It appeared fine until I went to instal it. If your standing at the rear of the truck, a tension bar has come out of the the right side end cap. The left side can also pop off but only has a spring. Nothing looks cracked, but it won't retract nor can I put it...

    Another Lift/Level question

    I've still been researching... If I go from 16's to 17's (also depending on tire size) this is essentially the same size, i just get more options with wheels on 17's, correct? It seems there are few good looking (black, black/machined) choices for 16's. Alos, looks like I will just level the...

    Another Lift/Level question

    I have an 05 Tahoe 4x4 with stock 16"s. I don't want to dump a ton of $$ into it but finally am ready to make it more aggressive looking. My shop said the least expensive way without affecting mpg/ride quality and largest I could go without a lift is to go with a 2" level kit on the front and...

    Carpc/car puter

    Exactly what I want A tablet (unless there is an easier solution) is exactly what I want to do. I have a stock 05 Tahoe w/o center console. The factory CD player died, front speakers need replaced. I want to basically do all the same functions (music/pandora/netflix/sling box) as my galaxy 3...

    Tune Recommendation

    I took the wife's 05 Tahoe (110k miles) and got her something else. I am the original owner of it and have kept it stock. Now that I have some miles of my own on it I was debating adding a tune. It runs fine (recent tune-up) but I feel like it could use a little wake up. I know Black Bear is...

    Bump.... Any input regarding my MPG question from page 2? Thanks

    Looking to go from Hoe to Avalanche

    I'm not very "mechanically inclined" but now that I'm comparing Avy models.... I thought I wanted 4wd because, although I've used 4wd once in the past 15 years, it was good when I needed it. Anyway, looking at an 08 LTZ 4wd, it shows MPG on E85 at 11/14 and gas at 14/19. I believe 2wd's are...

    Looking to go from Hoe to Avalanche

    Found an 07 LTZ at a local dealership I am going to look at, 55k miles, 2wd, Sunroof, Nav, rear dvd... Any concerns with an 07 (since that's 1st year of that gen any bugs to worry about). Anything I should be sure to check? It's a 1 owner. Listed at $27900, which I would not pay- Thanks in...

    Looking to go from Hoe to Avalanche

    2011.... I appreciate the input. I have a Tahoe, just trying to compare the differences between it and the Avalanche. The Tahoe, bench seat and third row have served my purposes, don't need a Suburban. Again, Tahoe vs Avalanche...

    Looking to go from Hoe to Avalanche

    Thanks for the input. My kids are 6 and 10 therefore no issue with car seats. I guess I'm weighing the 3rd row vs truck bed. I think having owned both types I used the bed of my truck more than the 3rd row. Now....the 4wd vs 2d locking rear diff???? My hoe has 4wd, never used it by like the...

    Looking to go from Hoe to Avalanche

    I have an 05 Tahoe with 105K miles that I just inherited from my wife. It's great, no issues and paid for. However, I have been in and out of trucks and am looking to get back in. I've decided if I pull the trigger the Avalanche (2007-2011) may be the way to go. I look at as the best of both...
