    Newb towing a travel trailer-Will lift gate open with a manual tongue jack?

    Or should I get a short hitch extension? I’m not worried about the weight, it’s around 4000 pounds max. I’ll be picking up the trailer this week. Probably a dumb question, but thanks for any help

    Off Road Lights triggered by High Beams?

    Where would be the best place to wire my relay trigger to the highbeams? I thought I had read a post on this in the past and cannot find it. Any help would be appreciated. ** should have posted this in electronics, sorry!**

    How to knock the “Soccer Mom” off of your Tahoe/Yukon

    Other than driving on a well-maintained dirt road, all of us non Z71 guys know that our trucks are pretty wimpy out of the box with some serious off road limitations. I’m 90% highway and 10% off road. My main concern was just not getting into trouble. To have a truck that wasn’t a liability in...

    Stealth Off Road LED Install

    I used a pair of 10 inch Sylvania slim LEDs and a Nilight harness. Plumbers tape became the best bracket option. The bolts are hidden behind the bowtie. They are in there solid. Don’t ask me how they work, because I don’t know yet. I can tell you that in broad daylight, I cannot see my highbeams...

    Options for upgraded cornering lighting?

    On a recent hunting trip, I found the shortfalls to stock location 6000k lighting when going through sweeping turns or around corners on and off road. The illumination where they are aimed is fine, just not wide enough. The primary use would be off road at relatively low speed. The options I'm...

    Cheap and easy suspension upgrade

    A nice, actually noticeable little upgrade. If there is any lateral sway at this point, I assume it’s all in the tires. The bushings and end links are quite a bit stiffer than the stock rubber ones. My front sway bar was shiny under the original bushings indicating movement. The new ones seem to...

    Looking for easier ideas for leveling Tahoe for camping sleeping

    I sleep in the back for a few weeks a year when camping. I've been using rocks, wood blocks, etc for awhile. Because of the forward to aft slope of the cargo area, I always end up sliding down to the gate in the middle of the night. My 2x1 inch level has just made it worse. Some places I go, I'm...

    Let's see your aftermarket running boards!

    Tired of the ugly stockers. Something ideal for me would be a black 3" nerf style with integrated step pads. I'd like to see what looks good on our trucks.

    Help with ZW7 Nivomat conversion

    Hi, I have read until my eyes bled. I understand that the standard conversion pre- 2015 has been to swap the rear springs with the Bilstein #199021 springs or Z71 springs (Moog# 81069) to run Bilstein 5100 shocks in the rear. I have already done the fronts. Here's where it gets confusing. I...

    Getting Bilstein 5100's for front. Is upgrading rear shocks even worth it?

    I've done a lot of reading, watched a lot of videos. I know the difference will be night and day for the ride in front. But what about the rear? I have the ZW7 Nivomats, decent shape, no leaks in the rear. I'm leveling the fronts. No extreme duty off road stuff, mostly highway driving with...

    Added a tow hook to a Tahoe LT

    I put just one for now to keep me out of trouble. I’ll eventually buy the correct plastic bumper piece that has the provisions and add the other hook. I went full ghetto and butchered a cover piece from my stock plastic skid plate where the drain plug would be because it’s recessed a bit. Pretty...

    2015 Tahoe LT - Looking to confirm part # for recovery hook

    I have: 23245141 or 22903513 I think I'll need one that has the offset drop and be long enough to poke out from the LT fascia. I saw a thread on this before and can't find it. Thanks for the help.

    Anyone put an E Cutout on a 2015+ 5.3?

    I like having a quiet stock muffler on my Tahoe. I don't like being "that guy" that wakes up my neighbors or everyone at a campsite. I also like a quiet truck when cruising down the highway. That being said, I have a 2000 Camaro with Heads, Cam and Longtubes , an offroad Y with a 4" E Cutout...

    Hypertech Settings

    The purpose of this thread is to post my personal preferences for the Hypertech. I was surprised that there were only a few threads on the Internet addressing this so I just wanted to add my two cents for the 2015-2020 5.3 for others looking for ideas. Your preferences will probably vary...
