    Strange Glitch wit Pressure monitor, shuts off after driving 10-20m.

    Prehistory. My right caliper was shut (or pipe was clogged) it caused super-heat in the right passenger side to the point it melted central plastic cap. Also it caused to pressure monitors shut off until it got cooled down. I fixed the issue. Changed caliper, central hub, everything on the...

    Planning to buy Supercharger for 07 5.3, need an advice

    I guess I will go with Whipple because everyone says it's reliable. What transmission I need to maintain that supercharger?

    2007 Tahoe LS full rebuild project

    About issues with brakes. So far - no brakes accidents, I think new hose+caliper did the work but I have a feeling that the truck is underperforming. I was thinking - oh that is breaks again, but no smoke or heat from brakes. Will test it on a highway today.

    2007 Tahoe LS full rebuild project

    Was a tough day. Replaced front right brake line, switched to ACDelco bearing hub kit, then knuckle, then front brake caliper.

    Bought some cheap 2din touchscreen and threw it in a garbage

    So.. long story short, want to be cheap, get ready to pay... any times you want. I got 2Din "Dual" brand GPS piece as a temporary... and it was too temporary. Died during the installation. I didn't even tried to return, tossed that thing in a garbage. Purchasing the latest T version with...

    Wheel project: Black or color-match?

    Certain designs designed for specific colors. For example, my new rims would look suck if they would be black, or polished metal but the mix works just right. Wheels you got, have specific style and color serves them right. If you want another color I would change the wheels.

    Wheel spacers

    2.7+ tons with wheels spacers doesn't sound good. Better to get ET 35 or more.

    Wheel project: Black or color-match?

    I would keep it as is. These wheels would look cheaper if you will paint them.

    2007 Tahoe LS full rebuild project

    I just tried out the look. The hole thing has to be taken down before to paint. Planning to paint into 2 steps/2 days. Roof + bumpers & hood, other day - the rest.

    Spyders are here and I got some LED lights (hopefully they won't melt the headlight) Tomorrow the bumper from hybrid suppose to be here I will try to install it just to look at the rig (before go down the road with changing the color, planning to visit DMV on 13th to set the papers for it)...

    Just picked up the Lower air deflector from a hybrid version. There was no hassle here with purchasing this part locally. Nice and tall version of the deflector. Hopefully bumper will come before Saturday so I could try them on this weekend.

    After complete suspension replacement, crazy things started to happen

    Thanks for your advice. I purchased everything except the axle itself (it cost ~$1400 and I will purchase it if problem won't fade away with new bearing, seals and arms). Will work on the truck this Saturday/Sunday.
