    4.5" Back spacing

    Most of the lift kits I have been looking at for my 2000 LT Hoe says you can't run your factory wheels. The wheels need to have 4.5" back spacing. Has anyone put a lift on a 2000-2006 Tahoe and used their factory wheels ? Can I use wheel spacers to get at least 4.5" ? :confused:

    Engine gasket/seals replacement

    I told the wife if I got rid of it and got something else there's no guarantee that it won't need a transmission and transfer case rebuild. At least with the old Hoe I know what I've got. I'm not car poor but the Tahoe is my daily driver/ beater.

    Engine gasket/seals replacement

    I know they at least have to drop the transmission to do the rear main seal and jack the motor up off the motor mounts to get to the pan gasket. Their idea is when you fix one oil leak it will put more pressure on the next weakest gasket. Kind of the least path of resistance theory. That's just...

    Engine gasket/seals replacement

    My mechanic said I had a rear main seal leaking and a pan gasket. 2 years ago I had the pan gasket replaced when I had the transmission rebuilt. My old Hoe has 150k miles on it but I like it. Last summer I had the transfer case rebuilt. Shop wants to pull the motor and put all new seals and...

    Factory Wheels Back Spacing ?

    Can anyone tell me how to find out the back spacing on factory wheels? I actually have 2012 Z71 wheels on my 2000 Tahoe. The lift kit i'm looking at says I have to buy aftermarket wheels because I need 4.5" back spacing. I was wondering also if I could achieve that by using wheel spacers with my...

    Lifted Spec's and Pics

    4.5" Back spacing ?? I looked at a 6" Tough Country lift for my 2000 Tahoe LT and it says I need wheels with 4.5" back spacing. I have a set of 2012 Z71 wheels on it right now and I was wondering how to find out what my back spacing is ? I would like to throw some Fuel wheels on there with like...

    Fan speed #1 not working

    LOL, I just logged on today for the same-ish reason. Mine is not working on 1,2 or 3. But 4 & 5 work fine. There's probly some kind of relay stuck under the dash somewhere but I'm not sure.

    Tow/ Haul mode

    I also did mine yesterday. My Hanes book didn't tell me that there is a funky bolt that holds the top cover on. It looks like a male torx. You have to have the bottom cover off to get to it. I did get a 4mm socket on it to take the broken piece out ;-P. I went back with a regular screw. this...

    Tow/ Haul mode

    My mechanic told me I should pull the shifter boot off from the steering column and I would see the orange wire in there. I actually ordered a new boot from gmpartsnow.com for 20 bucks and the column cover set because mine wasn't staying snapped together. I'm planning on tearing in to it this...

    Tow/ Haul mode

    Thanks, I went and talked to a friend at the Chevy dealership today and that's what he thought too. He didn't see where anything they had done while rebuilding the transfer case could have caused this issue. I mentioned "orange wire" and he said yea it's orange LOL. Glad I joined this forum...

    Tow/ Haul mode

    I just had my transfer case rebuilt, got it back Friday. I drove it to Indy this weekend for the NHRA Nationals and I tried to use the tow/ haul mode while going up some hills and it never changed my shift points nor did my little tow/ haul mode light come on on the dash. Anybody got any ideas...
