Show exact fitment for 2010 base/ luxury. Makes no sense.

That is a Platinum/Premium hood trim thats why. It is slightly longer to fit to the edge of the bumper.

Would the ss's fit? In the pics it looks black around the mesh but its not. All i did was pull the black plastic by the hooks and install the mesh in its place.

this Pic is where the mesh was supost to be. I also have this grill but i didnt want to cut the stock grill.



Where i put the mesh. In person it looks much better here. It also is not black around the mesh in real life thats just a shadow

I utilized my new console cup holder!

Just installed my new center console/jump seat in my 2011 SSV a couple of days ago. Cup holders...what a luxury!! Armrest.... wow!! Until now I only thought such things existed in "those Tahoes". Lol.

I installed the mesh behind the grill and at the bottom of the bumper. I didnt like the inserts because of the 1" chrome border so i installed them behind the bumper.

Grille looks good! What brand is it?

Yea thanks. Went to dealer today and they said with many GM models the cross ref shows the "fit" but between different trim level they don't always line up. I bought off eBay already painted for $90 bucks. Since I installed he won't take back. It'll do for now.

Perfect IMO

Sitting at Sears getting rotate/balance and centerline thrust alignment.

 

[08grey]

Center line thrust?

 

[iLikeEggs]

Center line thrust?

Yes. Your mileage may vary on the terminology. When it comes to alignments, you have:
Simple front- set the toe and let it go
Center line thrust- front end is set to the center line of the vehicle, determined by the rear wheels and some vehicles simply just have toe adjustments.
4 wheel thrust- adjustments to wheels on both axles.

Simple front end toe alignments generally apply to older, older vehicles with solid front and rear axles.
Modern rear wheel drive vehicles can have not just toe adjustments but camber and caster as well.

Most front wheel drive vehicles have rear camber adjustments. A 4 wheel thrust alignment is performed where the front adjustment are made when the rear is set to zero, then rear adjustments are set to specs.

Our Tahoe's and Yukon's require a center line thrust alignment. This involves setting the toe to the geometric
Center line of the vehicle, followed by camber and caster, if needed. All four wheels will get an alignment head during this process. Yes, you can adjust the toe by itself and it will be correct on the readout. However, if the toe is not set to the center line of the vehicle it may track off center while driving down the road. Think of how a dog runs and starts turning sideways while he runs.

His front feet are straight but his body is not lined up on them. Ever been behind a van or truck/SUV going down the road and it look like it was riding kind of crooked? That a hastily done alignment or the old "set the toe and let it go" job. The front toe was set but not checked to the center line of the vehicle.
And lastly, the first thing that any alignment tech should do before they start the alignment is to center the steering wheel.

I always thought that was due to a bent frame from a wreck and that was the best they could do with it. Good info to know!

Got mine all cleaned up. I have made friends with the manager at the car wash over the past couple years. No other cars there so he had all 6 of his guys working on my truck. They spent 45 minutes on it. Best it has looked in a while. Felt terrible I only had $4 to tip with. I will make sure to take a $20 with me next week.

Starting swapping out the stock headers for some Gibson headers. Was making great progress on the passenger side while my buddy worked on the drivers side. No matter what we tried we could not get the 3 bolts that connect the header to the cat loose on the drivers side. We tried several different tools and even heated them up with a torch and nothing.... Called an exhaust shop and asked if they could squeeze me in just to break these 3 bolts loose.

Drive to the exhaust shop and leave them the truck. Come back 2 hours later and they are putting a torch to the bolts/nuts. They got 1/3 loose. Said give them another 1.5 hours. By this time it's 3:30pm. I asked them at this point how much they'd charge just to do the whole damn swap? Guy comes back with $430. I got him down to $360 which is still probably a bit high but I said F it just get it done. So left my truck there and I'll pick it up Monday.

Forgot to mention the reason they said they needed another 1.5 hours was because the nuts were fully seized and they were going to have to cut them out. The guy said in all his years doing exhaust work he'd never seen nuts seized up that badly.

I eagerly await your thoughts on the headers. I am debating on getting them or waiting until after the supercharger...

 

[Deephaven]

I did arh before the supercharger. I can't say that without boost they did a ton, but it was noticeable. I did them before the sc to shorten the install time as doing them together would be more overwhelming.

 

[Deephaven]

Sounded better though.

Before and after

My wife has been complaining about a clunk she hears every now and them from the front and after driving it myself a couple of times last week, I was beginning to suspect ball joints.

Well... While doing oil change on Saturday, I noticed that the sway bar end links had pretty much disintegrated themselves. Got some Moog's from O'Reillys, put them on and no more clunks. As the truck just hit 137K, I'm sure new ball joints wouldn't hurt, but I'm going to hold off on those for now. Main worry now is whether I have rear main leak or not.

It drops a drop or two every now and then and a couple of oil pan bolts looked like they could've been the culprits. Was able to tighten most oil pan bolts 1/8 to about 1/4 turn, so we'll see...

 

[Bruizza]

I had a similar issue I noticed on Friday. End link on the driver's side front was gone. Totally gone. I had been having a pretty bad vibration issue and fixing this solved it thank god.

Installed G5 tails and realized I need to get the LED 3rd brake like tinted to match.
