Chevy Tahoe

[SMKR]

I'll have to look into what a leveling kit costs, they definitely look good with one and some bigger tires. I'll check the RPO tomorrow to see what gearing I have in this Tahoe, it has pretty solid get up and go, enough to throw you back in your seat but i'm curious to know the ratio.

My leveling kits ran between $50-$100. Very economical. I prefer the tallest tire possible to fill as much of the wheel well possible when leveled. That typically equates to a 34"-34.3" tire so in my opinion 4.10s are perfect, buddy had 4.56s installed and I enjoyed driving his for a short ride.

I hate how you can't order a new truck from GM with 4.10s, heck can't even get 3.73s with the 6.2L in the crew cab 1500.

black bear did mine when they were in town doing tunes.

Yes, they did my 2008 GMC Sierra and my 2010 Silverado, Justin does great work, just tough to get an appointment with that isn't 6 months out.

I was going to have Farmtruc Nelson do my next tune (San Antonio) or Houston House of Power. Both have many, many raving reviews.


Yes, turn off AFM asap....

Bear with me for not being up on all the lingo. What's the AFM?

Owned 4 so far.

2007 Tahoe- 99k miles, zero problems

2009 Tahoe - 119k miles, zero problems

2011 Suburban LT, 97k miles, battery and brakes

2011 Suburban z71, 91k miles, have had minor electrical problems, did the TSBs on it for grounding issues, knock on wood, it hasn't had the problem since.


Definitely get a tune, gears if you can and/or go up in tire size... Would definitely buy another

Love the way they look leveled with tires

I had my dod turned off earlier this year and being bone stock nothing was done to the engine tune other then adjusting how the transmission shifts. It picked up 2 mpgs and it drives so much better now.

Check the VIN. I think DJ said it was an 0 in the VIN that signifies it.

There is a 0 halfway into the VIN.

Picked up an 09 Tahoe LT with 87k miles for a damn good price.

I had an 07 LTZ...go rid of it before it hit 50k..To many electrical problems/cluster problems

I have an 07 Ltz with 150k. Have had a few sensor problems recently but nothing that I couldn't fix. I wouldn't think twice about buying another one.

Weren't you building a 70s era Burb a while back?

Yeah, haven't had much time to work on it with the kids and whatnot. The in-laws moved so I lost the shop it was in also.

I'm working on the motor in my Impala now, and I'm thinking once it's done and back on the road the burb will get its spot in the garage.

I will mortgage the house if I have to.

And I will be in line. Loved the excursion I drove for a bit and considered picking one up a while back but the wife wasn't having it.
