Blazed's 2011 Tahoe Build

[Blazed]

I'd be willing to bet the majority of the difference you notice is in the tcm tune because the truck is already WAY snappier.
I'm gonna be pretty happy with it I bet. I'm happy so far.

With how it is acting now I think I still want to upgrade gear sets tho.

 

[MACHO]

Yes. IMO I don't think the ECM tune is very dramatic compared to the trans tune. Makes me want to try it without the TCM tune tho, just to see how much difference

Glad you're liking it. If you do the gears I'll be really interested on your feedback after installing them.

 

[Blazed]

The truck is really peppy now I'm happy.
I just wish it was quicker off the line.

I raced my buddies hemi single cab today and it DESTROYED me off the line.

The 3.08s aren't really good for anything I do.

I don't drive highway ever. I think going to 3.73 will improve my MPGs dramatically because I won't have to get on it as long and ill get to 6th faster.

 

[Regency]

Blazed you do realize this is only a tune right?

If you really want to be fast on the line do all minor and major bolt ons.

 

[Blazed]

Yes I realize this is just a tune Marcus. I'm not a dumb ass. I just figured torque management was slowing me down off the line.

I know how a car works. I know what makes it fast and what makes it quick.

 

[Regency]

Right but you're in a 5.3l Tahoe.

 

[Blazed]

I know what I drive as well thank you.

 

[Big Buttons]

I have full bolt ons, cam and springs.... and mine is still a pig off the line... Im doing a converter and gears next...

DJM quality control

 

[NORCAL SS]

you did move over the swaybar to the right correct? drivers side 1 inch over on the mount? just shoot me email ill get you a new one but I see this when people dont move the bar over 1 inch and then it hits the panhard bracket and breaks the endlink.

also now they come with zerk fittings since i Talked to djm about it after they saw i was doing the zerks for local guys on the endlnks. That helps a lot also keeping it quiet and lubbed.

Shoot me pm of order date Ill get a new one coming.

 

[Blazed]

I moved it over but it looked like my truck isn't low enough for how short these are.

 

[NORCAL SS]

They work fine from 3-5 inches. mines at 3 7/8 and ive been selling them with the 3-4 belltech kits for a while and I get guys saying mine broke like yours on passengers side and this happens when the bar isnt moved over on the drivers side mount and or when they put the swaybar on they do it wrong. The swaybar should be sitting on the outside of pass side endlink toward tire not inside.

 

[Blazed]

I wasn't saying for sure that was why it broke it just looked that way because of the marks on the sway bar itself.
My sway bar is absolutely moved over.

I changed back to the stock end links today in my auto tech class and my teacher said he thought the same thing as me. Ill take pictures of where it is mounted and where it was rubbing.

And I just walked back in but the sway bar isn't moved quite an inch but if it was moved any further it would be hitting that cup on the drivers side even more. With the djm end links on the sway bar is pointed up just a touch.

I think I'm just gonna cut the stock end links and weld them the perfect length and side by side so they have the offset.

 

[NORCAL SS]

if you make it longer then will point down. Either way if you want a new link shoot me a pm and ill get it going for you.

 

[Blazed]

I want to shorten the stock links to the perfect length for my drop and it'll still have the ball joints like stock.

 

[NORCAL SS]

Where did you have the swaybar mounted on inner or outer side?

 

[Blazed]

That's the driver side.

 

[NORCAL SS]

DO you have pics of how you had pass side swaybar set up at the endlink? the 5/6 inch kits i have set up dont have this issue and a lot less space there so im trying to see what exactly happened. My truck cleared also in back and im about same height as you.

 

[Blazed]

I'm on my phone but I think there are pictures in my photo albums in the help album.

 

[NORCAL SS]

didnt see it there. ill check later on from.computer
