Fosscore's 2006 Tahoe Build Thread

[Sam Harris]

wow!!! $28 for an alignment is truly a buddy deal LOL I can't get out of an alignment for less than $100

No shit! That’s a steal!

No shit! That’s a steal!

I am not sure why I got that special price.? I was expecting a
$90-$100 invoice.

So for me!!

Yeah that’s what cheap for an alignment!

Washed the Tahoe early today and gave it a Lucas Oil Slick Mist wipe down with the time change. Then paid it forward and washed our friends Kia Optima, who stayed with us overnight.

And then it rained.... but at least the paint and wheels are clean and the water is just rolling off.

Took the Tahoe to my buddy's shop this morning to go over the alignment again. Have a very, very slight pull to the passenger side after the front wheel alignment a few weeks ago . Maybe not felt by Joe Public, but I can tell. And there is some bump steer. That has always been there.

My buddy had it on the rack for almost 2 hours and a test drive. $0 for the shop visit as it was still under warranty. So nothing out of pocket was a win for sure!

Everything is in spec in terms of tire wear. Same numbers as the other week I previously posted. We can get the number true to center across the board, but it won’t drive absolutely perfectly straight, have a wider turn radius or the wheel won’t return to center. So the numbers will stay where they are at.

I am splitting hairs here, as it is minor, but was worth a look just to make sure. The tires were balanced and rotated 2000 miles ago. All 4 brake temps after driving are the same. Not one wheels is super heating or dragging any components. So basically all is equal unless it is a tire issue?

And maybe new adjustable upper control arms and a better tie rod angle.

Maybe we can swap a detail for an LED project?

Niiice.. I need one closer to me. I don’t want to drive up to the mountains for the tunnels.. lol.

I’d take your mountains any day!! The ocean and beach, however is an equal trade. And the mountains for me are a solid 12 hours to NC.

Just to get to JAX and the border of GA is 5.5-6hrs.

Enjoy that snow! Still in boardies down here.

 

[Sam Harris]

Damn that’s a haul! Well I’ll do my best to enjoy them for you. Maybe we should trade spaces for a few months a year..?! [emoji16][emoji106]

Nice! I need to video a tunnel run with The Beast. There’s a double deck interstate highway bridge on my way home from work and I love to hit the throttle a few times every night (I’m on the lower deck) and watch people’s reactions. It’s loud as hell.

Lookin fresh as always
