    Can Anyone Here Pray for my Family?

    Sorry not Tahoe related. On Halloween night, while I was taking my 3 year old out for candy, my little cousin killed himself a couple states over. He was 21 and his mom died of cancer a few months ago. Soon after that he tried suicide, but was found and saved. He took large amounts of his...

    Third Row Touching D-Pillar Trim

    Hey guys- I've got this issue where my 3rd row seat (3 pax), on the driver's side, is so close to the D-Pillar trim that it sometimes touches it, especially if someone is sitting there. The passenger side is fine, a lot of space there. I tried pulling the seat out and re-locking it as far over...

    Liftgate Interior Panel Removal

    Hey guys, I want to remove the main (the big lower) interior door panel on the liftgate, and I know some of you have done this. The reason is lame, I washed it several times with no license plate bolts on before realizing that the plastic "nuts" are hollow and might've let water in to rust the...

    These trucks are TOUGH!!!

    Forget about the ding my neighbor put on the side molding. Driving down an LA freeway at 3 am the other night, this POS truck in the next lane ahead of me ran over & kicked up a piece of plywood like 3'X3' and it popped up and smacked the front of my ride. When I got home I saw in horror that...

    About Wheel Spacers

    Okay, I know already that simple wheel spacers are a really bad idea- multiplying leverage on the lugs, the nuts are farther out on the stud, ect. But what about those adaptors that bolt to the hub first and then have a new set of studs, are those okay? Seems like they would be a lot better...

    How Do You Like This Orange/Black Tahoe??

    Got some pics of this at the local dealership- never seen another like it and can't decide if I love it or hate it. Kinda like it, but not enough to buy it. What get's me though is that, from the sticker, I think this is a factory paint job, and didn't know they had this for Tahoes. Like it's...

    Cool pics of my Z71 with a Denali

    Since I just learned how to post pictures (thanks Gambler) I thought I'd put up the only ones I have of my new ride. I like the black and white contrast. I'll be doing more of my truck after I treat the paint right (clay, polish, sealant, wax). I might use some of these for my...

    First Scuffmark... From a soon to be hospitalized neighbor.

    :mad2: Well, my Z71 is about 10 days old, with about 500 miles, and after all the care I take to avoid dings wherever I go, I get it from the ******* in the spot next to me. I need your help to tell me how this could be fixed and how much its gonna cost before I go after this ****head. First...

    Sal Zaino said this about his product...

    I've seen in several forums, including here, where fellas use Zaino glazes and then top it with wax, and get an incredible shine. There is one black Tahoe in here that just looked incredibly deep after this- never seen anything like it. But... I emailed Zaino to ask about their products for my...

    GM Performance Exhaust

    Is the GM Performance exhaust catback in fact from Corsa? Or is it Borla? Or is it neither? I really gotta know, and the dealerships are worthless for getting this kind of info. Anyone know??? Thanks.

    Regarding the 2009 changes...

    Does anyone know anything about the XM Nav Traffic being offered on the 09's, like how it works and how it is mechanically different from the 08's? I would so upgrade to this if its possible without replacing the entire head unit. Any idea what this would require? Also with the Bluetooth...

    Custom Tune Questions

    Hey fellas. A couple of questions about the tune from, let's say, Black Bear, since that's probably what I'd get. Okay so you do the thing where you collect data from your truck... Would you need to update the tune if you added any of the following mods: 1. CAI 2. Cat Back system 4...

    Z71 On The Way!

    Yep, I got my order in, and am counting the days. I really wish I could've waited to see the change options and standards on the 09's, but I had to make a decision and I need the truck like now. I can wait a month but not 6. I won't regret the 08 no matter what's up later, but I am gonna...

    Special Order Question

    When you negotiate a price with a dealer and then special order the vehicle, what kind of document does the dealer normally give you that specifies and guarantees the selling price? Without something like this, could they raise the price on delivery, if they think they can squeeze more out of...

    08/09 Orders, & motor options

    I understand the cutoff for 2008 orders is in a few weeks, does anyone know when you can start ordering 2009s? And has anyone determined yet whether the six speed can go behind the 5.3, or if the bigger motor will be available on non-LTZ or on 4X4? And if not available til later, then when?

    Dealer Installed Lift for Chevy

    Well, I was at the Ford dealership today- hold on now, I was there to give back my 05 Mustang GT under lemon law. That's another story. ***I just edited here because I don't wanna sound like I was a slick bragger- if it wasn't such a lemon it would've been a cherry the way I took care of it. I...

    Tahoe prices: Actual vs. MSRP

    Hi, I'm new here and have been reading alot because I plan to get a Tahoe very soon. I'm wondering if I can get some feedback from you all about how these Chevy dealerships are in bargaining down from MSRP. Are they making deals or not? Is it gonna be any harder to get a deal if it's say, a...
