Hello everyone,
First post here. Just purchased a 2010 Tahoe LS 4x4 5.3 FF, 105K, and am trying to set it up to tow my race cars, but I'm getting a little confused on what exactly I have and what I can do. Hoping y'all can help clarify and guide me. I've been getting mixed information all over the web.
Relevant RPO codes:
ZW7 CHASSIS PACKAGE,PREMIUM SMOOTH RIDE
YD6 SPRING,REAR(BASE EQUIPMENT)
I've read that the ZW7 shocks are supposed to be self-leveling and come with softer springs and are not great for towing, but I don't know if I have the self-leveling or not since I don't have the G65 RPO for self leveling. Can/should I add helper bags to the rear for towing? Or would I need to change to conventional shocks and springs to do that?
Other related RPO codes:
G80 AXLE,REAR,POSITRACTION,LIMITED SLIP
GU6 AXLE,REAR,3.42 RATIO
Z82 TRAILERING PACKAGE(SPECIAL)(REESE TYPE HITCH)
VR4 TRAILER HITCH(WEIGHT DISTRIBUTING PLATFORM)
NQH TRANSFER CASE ACTIVE, TWO SPEED, PUSH BUTTON CONTROL, ALUM
YD3 AXLE FRONT (BASE EQUIP) FOR SCHEDULING GVW PLATE
YD5 SPRING,FRONT(BASE EQUIPMENT)
K5L EQUIPMENT ENHANCED COOLING PACKAGE
KC4 COOLING SYSTEM,ENGINE OIL
KNP COOLING SYSTEM,TRANSMISSION,HEAVY DUTY
With this setup would you recommend any additional equipment/coolers? I live in Nevada, and it can get very hot over the mountains. Very new to Towing and new to Tahoes and with all the misinformation out there I just want to be sure before I go ordering parts.
Thanks everyone.
