    What Year is Reliable

    I don't know that one generation is "more reliable" than another. It's that each generation has their nuances. I worked on the 400's and 800's when I was in a Chevy service department. With that said, I think both are probably equal in terms of reliability, but with different plusses and...

    Lifts for 2500 Subs or Yukon XLs...what am I missing?

    So I have a guy local here in Chicago that just had the 5 stars pop up. They aren't perfect, but for his price, I am entertaining it. Question is, on the adaptors to go from 165mm to 180mm, do I want 1.5" thickness or 2"?

    Lifts for 2500 Subs or Yukon XLs...what am I missing?

    Yes. However most like to swap on the later Silverado wheels on to the Suburban's because they are very nice looking, especially the 5 spoke ones. Unfortunately you have to buy the spacers and perhaps trim the studs to make it work because of the size difference. There is a local guy who...

    Lifts for 2500 Subs or Yukon XLs...what am I missing?

    The wheels up to 2010 are 16 x 6.5 with a bolt pattern of 8 x 165.1. 2011+ they changed and you can get a variety of sizes like 18x8 and 20x8.5. However the bolt pattern changed to 8 x 180.

    Suburban vs avalanche

    The Avalanche is still an SUV though. It's a Suburban frame and body with the back half opened up and a mid-gate. It isn't a true pick-up. I'm the other way, I like the Avalanche, but would rather have a wide open interior for kids and the dog.

    [SOLVED] Fast blinking after Turn Signal LED bulb swap

    I did all LED's in the front this weekend, and came across the hyperflash issue. So I ordered the load resistors. Didn't know there was a LED blinker relay that could be installed instead. TBH, both are equally easy to do. So it's really 6 of one, half dozen of the other, whichever route you...

    Escalade Vs Denali Vs Tahoe Cluster

    Here is my stock one. Again, the camera makes it look amazing. It really isn't like this. If it were, I wouldn't have changed them. However, you CAN see the kelvin (coloring) difference. I don't want blue'ish. I want white in my trucks. Like I want warm red in my Pontiac's...

    Escalade Vs Denali Vs Tahoe Cluster

    So I ordered from GM Gauge repair, their 5mm WHITE LED cubes and replaced them tonight. I can't say that I am pleased by any stretch of the imagination. This picture I took, makes it look amazing. Trust me it's not and I can't get the phone to adjust to take it as the human eye sees it. I...

    And then I rounded it out with 3k LED fog bulbs; My main beef is with thes fog light assemblies. They're are bolted tight. The problem is, they still wobble. And it looks to me like the adjustment hinge. I may "modify" them when I get a chance to be a sold bolt/nut set up instead of the...

    Finally got all my lighting set, well sorta... Got rid of the old, wore out Halogen front lights and replaced them with LED. I took the plunge because I am tired of ballasts and ignitors on HID kits, so I figured I'd give it a shot... Headlights, I went 6k. I know the pics show a little...

    I've had an 8.1 before. It was an '02 2500HD. I had Magnaflow on it and custom tune on it with HPTuners. However, despite my insatiable urge to modify everything I own, and of course letting a Big Block breathe, one of the things I actually enjoy about driving either Suburban is the peace and...

    Where's all the Chicagoland peeps?

    Same thoughts here. I think it might because the regional forum is a little hidden. Anyway, I am in Elgin, literally down the street from Nicks (I saw mentioned above) on Bowes. But grew up and still have the other house in West Chicago.

    Thank you, I was wondering what that lone one out in left field was. :D

    Yes. My criteria was 3/4 ton, big block, 4.10's, LT. This one came along with less than 100k on the clock, I jumped. We'll see on the monitors. This was a VHS system. :D So they're probably WAAAAyyy out of date. The liners are currently Husky liners. They're all balled/rolled up around...

    Ok, Saturday night I ordered the cube LED's needed for this conversion. https://www.ebay.com/itm/12-Volt-White-5mm-LEDs-with-Resistor-for-Chevy-GMC-Speedo-Gauge-Clusters-20ct/282988698020?hash=item41e370d9a4:g:6x0AAOSwZq5bwDHg

    Tacking on to my original thread. Got the new whip on Friday; Being unloaded off the truck; At home in the driveway; So then Saturday I started my "personalization" of it; Put some LED tails in (they look better at night, it was too bright to get a good view of the light)...

    The Blazer is BACK baby!

    I agree with everyone on bastardizing a storied name on a Cute Utility Vehicle "appliance". having owned many, including S-Series variants, I cried when they announced it. HOWEVER, GM is in the business of pushing tin. Not catering to a small minority of automotive enthusiasts. Say what you...

    I have also ordered all exterior lighting upgrades and a Volant CAI.

    I think that might be a blue one over on the far left. I was counting the circled ones and the two turn signals.

    Escalade Vs Denali Vs Tahoe Cluster

    Here is a static pic I found on the intertubez. So you will need 11 bulbs (including turn signals) or 11 LED's.

    Suburban 2500 search is frustrating

    It's mine, but it's still there in Utah. They were going to replace one of the mirrors for me, and ended up doing both. So they had to wait on parts. When I spoke to them a couple hours ago, it was done. So just waiting on the trucking company to come get it. 2003.

    Escalade Vs Denali Vs Tahoe Cluster

    Here. I see the blue bulb bases you're talking about. So I will be converting to LED based on this.
