    HO Alternator

    Well, I put a yellowtop in last week and it's helped a lot. I still have some dimming issues when I listen to stuff with a lot of bass, but the volt meter was dipping down to 11.5 at times. With the new battery, it never gets below 12.5 while idling and 13 or so while driving. I'll have to put...

    Engine Size

    Hmmm... I can't even remember now. I went to a bunch of different sites... if I can find it in my history later, I'll post again.

    Engine Size

    It's a gas truck. I thought it was the 5.7L 350, but I was getting all of these options on web sites when I was looking at alternators... I think that's right though. I just wanted to be sure before I ordered the wrong part. Thanks. 1999 Chevy Tahoe. The eighth character in my VIN is an R.

    How can I tell if I have the 5.7L 350 or the V8 400 4BBL. I entered my VIN on a web site. The results came back saying I had the V8 400 4 BBL. But I thought I had the 350 this whole time... I do know that there is a black thing on top that says "Vortec" I need to get a high output...

    HO Alternator

    I'm thinking of adding a high output alt to my 99 Tahoe. Any suggestions? Also, I'm planning on getting a Yellow Top battery. I'm uncertain as to whether or not a stock alt is okay on this type of battery. Will a HO alt be okay on a stock battery? I can't replace both at the same time. I would...

    Empty Space for Factory CD Player

    Just wondering what other people have done after replacing the stock head unit. The CD player is a separate unit (under the A/C controls) For a while I just left it, but I needed to remove it not to long ago and decided to just leave it out. Now I'm trying to figure out what I can put there...

    Big 3 and Alt/Battery Upgrades?

    Thanks YukonMud. I don't listen to my stereo much without my truck running, so I guess I'll probably be okay. I'll probably do the big three either this weekend or next. I'm glad I can hold off on the deep cycle battery and H. O. alt. They're a little steep.

    Big 3 and Alt/Battery Upgrades?

    Here's what I have: 99 Tahoe Premier DEH-P980BT 2 Kicker K650.2 Componants ^running on ZX250.2 (85w x2ch @4ohms) Kicker CVT 12" ^running on ZX400.1 Viper 5900 SST (not sure if that matters) I'll be changing my sub to either one or two CVX 12"s soon. If I do two, it'll be 1500rms, if...
