    Need Help Understanding Gear Ratio and Bolt Pattern

    Hey Guys, The time has come to replace my stock tires and rims. 2001 Tahoe, 5.3L V-8, no modifications what-so-ever. I'm at 4wheel parts looking at tires and rims, trying to put together a package, and I can't even get past the first page. Can somebody explain to me what the bolt pattern...

    Upholstery: Cloth to Leather

    Hey guys, Back again with the intent to spend spend spend some more! This time, it's trying to replace cloth seats with leather seats. I've heard that it can be cheaper to get the cloth covers removed and replaced with leather covers. I've also heard of just having the seats swapped out...

    2001 Tahoe...Help me decorate

    I also have a question regarding paint. It seems as though there are a few different ways to sand the vehicle, different grades of paint, and what not. In trying to see through the BS that I'm sure I'll get from some of the places I go to get quotes, do you guys have any suggestions? I...

    2001 Tahoe...Help me decorate

    Went to the JL Audio site, but from what I saw, all they show are the measurements of the box, and electrical spec's. I did see, that they made boxes with the subs already in them...but they are ported, which kinda goes against what you were saying. Maybe I just don't know what exactly to look...

    2001 Tahoe...Help me decorate

    Please don't apologize. Longwinded or not, that is some good stuff. What kind of box should I get? Is there a particular company I should buy from that specializes in building boxes, or is that something I would have to get the installer to build? Anything specific I need to tell whoever...

    2001 Tahoe...Help me decorate

    That helps a lot! But I have more questions, yet again! First, let me get it all straight. A JL-W 10" wouldn't quite be the full bass....would a 12" do the trick? And where would I get the right box? Are the 6.5 perfects the right size to replace what I currently have? Are there 4 or 6...

    2001 Tahoe...Help me decorate

    SO, general consensus is not to go with $1200 job. I've called around to a few other places and been quoted around $2000. I heard about black showing all the flaws of the body. Luckily, I don't have any body damage, dents, or dings (at least I didn't when I left it) Do you guys think I...

    2001 Tahoe...Help me decorate

    Thanks Polecat. The Smoked out tail lights are sharp. I looked at the grilles at street scene, but I couldn't find something that was just one piece. I guess what I'm interested in is just one piece to replace it all, I no longer want the bar that goes across that has the bowtie in the...

    2001 Tahoe...Help me decorate

    Hey Guys...I'm kinda new to the forum, and very inexperienced when it comes to vehicles. I know that parts of this post should be in different forums, so forgive me moderators for not breaking it up into pieces. I'm getting pretty close to coming home from Iraq, and I want to use a little bit...

    How do I change

    Is there anyone who can share with me where the evaporator coil is located and what it looks like? A picture, if not asking too much, would be great! Obviously I'm fairly new to this, but I own a 2001 5.3 V8 with 112K and I'm guessing the previous owner never did any of these things. Sounds...

    shocks?

    I'm in the same boat. I am without a doubt a novice when it comes to vehicles, but my dream car has always been a tahoe and now that I own one, I figure it's time to get to know it really well. One of my biggest gripes presently is that every little bump or imperfection in the road that I...
