    Well Tach gave me a heart attack tonight.

    So the wife is the main driver of the Tahoe. My old Ford is my work truck, and I drive the Tahoe on weekends. So she says about an hour ago, " hey I ordered us the appetizer basket from the restaurant up the road." Fair enough so I hop in the Tahoe and immediately the low fuel light is apparent...

    How cold is it where you are today?

    While the midwest doesn't get as cold as say Alaska, it is a bit chilly here today. Thermometer at my house said -19F (-28c) this morning when I left for work. The old work truck took a bit to build oil pressure lol. Cold start today Wish I knew how to post videos instead of just YouTube links..

    My Hotrod Project

    It got brought up in Tonys build thread, so I figured I should start my own. That way I don't pirate his thread. So back story, my uncle likes to buy cars he is going to "do something cool with". Then after the project is almost done he loses interest. Or, if the outcome does not look like it...

    Started a new job

    Well, after 15 years of industrial maintenance at the aluminum foundry I have moved on to a new job. Not that the old place was bad, I just felt that management had made a few decisions i couldn't look passed. So now i rebuild fuel pumps and injectors for a big diesel manufacturer. Better pay...

    Air conditioning clutch air gap

    Anyone know where a guy can get different shims to sent the clutch air gap on the ac compressor? The gap on my Silverado is .040 and spec is .020 to .035. Just got enough gap to not pull it in unless tapped.

    Be careful out there at work

    Off topic of vehicles, but there was an accident up the road from my work last week. And since it is the same line of work we all had to go over the details to help prevent a similar accident here. Guy was killed ( believe me when i say luckily instantly) his first week on the job. Make it...

    Sun roof circuit question

    So in the last week my wife has left her sun roof open 3 times since it has been decent during the day. However, at night we have been getting drizzle and im not about to deal with electric issues if she keeps it up. So since i am at work and thought about this... i dont have the owner's manual...

    Not the Tahoe, but need to rant.

    IQ tests should be given before you are allowed to use an impact gun. Planned on doing brakes and stub shaft u joints today on the f150. My lug nuts said that is a hard no. Last place they were loose was the tire shop when i had new fronts installed. A 4 foot pipe on my tire iron wouldnt budge...

    Z71 plastic trim removal

    I tried a quick search but didnt get real in depth. So what is the thought on removing the plastic rocker covers to slow the rockers from starting to rot away? As i am sure they trap garbage and hold it in place. From what i can tell from the underside they look ok right now. And, if i can keep...

    Boredom leads to back road 1/4 mile runs

    I labelled the 2 sheets because the printouts both show the tahoe. I didn't feel like reentering the info. Truck is a little faster. But that may be just be the difference between the L33 and L59 because all the rest of the driveline is the same. Weight may play a small difference too. And the...

    Headlight wattage question

    Hey guys, on my 06 Tahoe i planned on putting some better bulbs in than it has currently. Pretty sure it has Sylvania blue coated bulbs now, and i have to run with the fogs at a minimum to see the road decent. And most of the time i have the highs on even in town. I can get some 80 watt lows...

    Wiper arm stand up for snow?

    I dont know how i never noticed that the Tahoe wipers only pull about 2 inches away from the windshield and don't have a way to keep them there. When did chevy start that? My old Blazer stood straight up and even my old 95 f150 work beater has locks to keep them off the windshield in icy weather...

    This forum is well laid out

    Well, ive been on this forum for a while now, and it is well put together. Ive been getting most of my info for the Silvy here as well because let's face it, there isnt too much difference between the platforms. But, i recently joint the Silveradoserria forum, and it is not as well organized to...

    Operating system update for e85 compatibility TSB

    So i stumbled across this TSB for a software update for the Tahoe to improve e85 compatibility. Talked to the local dealership and they said they can do it, but it met the deadline long before i bought the rig. So if i want to do it, i have to pay shop rate for time, about a half hour. Has...

    Who needs a high dollar cold air kit

    Airaid MIT for a 02 6.0 in a 2500 Sierra on my 06 Tahoe. Stock box and filter. Outside temp was 38 so barely over a degree difference at 60.
