    2022 Tahoe Z71 engine temperature

    What should the typical engine temperature reading on the OBD be for a 2022 Tahoe Z71 with the 5.3 engine? The dashboard temperature gauge is slightly better than useless compared to the gauge on my 2004 Tahoe. I think my engine might be running a little cooler than it should be. My mileage...

    Confused about Z71 OEM ft. struts

    Allegedly my 2013 Z71 4x4 Tahoe has Rancho shocks and different springs in the ft. struts, but I can't find anything about replacement strut assemblies specific to the Z71. GM OEM lookup only shows individual parts. Depending on the source used, the shock for RPO 6TJ/7TJ is either...

    GM mud flaps 2022 Z71 compatibility?

    I'm about to put some mudflaps on my Z71 Tahoe but the front GM mudflaps say they don't fit per the GM parts site. The dealership's parts department didn't know what was up with that either. Has anyone here installed the front GM mudflaps on a '21+ Z71 Tahoe? Why wouldn't they fit? I'm assuming...

    I hope I bought the right parts

    I've been creeping these forums for the past couple months while deciding which parts to buy for a basic 2 to 3" lift/level and bigger tires without breaking the bank. Quick backstory, last year a few months before I got deployed, I bought Big Bertha, a 2005 Yukon SLT 4x4, at a decent price of...

    What to look for in an 05 Z71

    Hey everyone, I'm new to the forum but I'm looking at buying an 05 Tahoe Z71 with the 5.3/4L60E. I'd consider myself relatively mechanical, however I don't know all the ins and outs of the Tahoe world. I'm heading out tomorrow to look at a pretty clean 05 Z71 that's listed for $7500 (I'm...

    As of last Saturday went and looked at two different 2022 Z71 suburbans at two different dealers. Neither had rear entertainment which is on the list of must haves. I did a quick search online and saw no 2022 with rear entertainment. Which was present on pretty much every 2021 listed as a used...

    Need help with lift decision

    I'm in the market for a lift for my '08 Z71. I've done a little research and have the 5" rough country lift pegged as the best option. That being said, when it comes to wheels I'm clueless. Currently I have a 2" level with the factory 18" z71 wheels with BFG 33" tires. My goal is to be able to...

    I just bought a 02 tahoe z71 with 126k miles on it, and I noticed it leaned to the drivers side of the truck initially by almost 2 inches if I remember right... I looked around what I could do. Adjusted the keys to full max lift on the drivers side and fully max low on the passengers side and...

    Bought a used 2016 Z71 - tires & level?

    So, I just bought a used 2016 Z71 and I am not a fan of the 20" wheels/tires that are on it and I'm coming to y'all for advice. How do I know if it's been leveled? It seems to have OEM suspension, but I guess after 105k miles it would be hard to tell. I've measured the wheel well heights and...
