    Predicament.

    So I bought my 99 4dr Tahoe in Sept. from a little local dealer near me. Great bunch of guys, really quality service. I have owned the truck for 5 months now, and the truck is turning out to be a bit of a problem. I bought it with 139k miles and im just about to turn over to 145k. In those 5...

The rims are 24" Giovanna Caracas, with Nitto N420s tires. If you have any information on these wheels please sign up and let him know, his...

    Does this exist?

    Im looking into buying rubber floor mats for my '99 4dr tahoe. I have found some good stuff from summit and weather tech, however I haven't found what I want.

    Leaking Radiator?

    A couple of days ago I noticed that the heat was blowing cold air and the coolant temperature was almost at 260. I filled the coolant tank and radiator back up to get me through the weekend, in less than 3 days the tank was nearly empty again and I brought it into the shop to be looked at. They...

    Removing inner door panel?

    Im trying to remove the inner door panel (the one that is upholstered, and runs along the door and wraps around the handle) do I need to take off the entire door panel or can that piece come off separately? Either way, how is the removal done? Thanks, Dan

    Any 315/75/16 users here?

    I've seen it done on some other boards. Im thinking of picking up some 315/75/16 Procomp Extreme A/T in the spring. Along with a 3" BL they should fit. What's the comparison in size to 33 or 35" tires? Thanks, Dan

    Lift Questions!

    So, the next project on my list for my truck before I get new wheels in the spring is to lift it. I had a couple of questions regarding this process. I do not want to spend thousands on a 6" suspension lift, I can't justify spending that much money right now. My question is, if I buy a 3" body...

    Contemplating something...need some advice!

    The factory sound system in my 99 Tahoe sounds like it might be blown to me. I've never listened to a blown system, but its very unclean and un-crisp. The bass is terrible, I can't have the volume up past 50% with it ruining the sound quality totally. So this is what I am contemplating. I...

    Anyone ever painted their stock grill?

    I've heard the "chrome" requires a loooot of sanding, is this true? Do you need to get past the "chrome" to the primer? Or just scuff it up enough to get hte paint to stick. Ive never done this so does anyone have any step by step instructions? Also, do the same rules apply for the bumpers? How...

    New (to me) Tahoe, Have some questions....

    Hey guys, Just bought a new tahoe today, got rid of my 2002 and got a 99 to put a little money in my pocket. I've already got some plans for this vehicle, but much unlike my last tahoe. My plans go a little like this: 6" or so lift, big tires, probably in the 35 - 37 range. Possibly some rims...

    2WD in Snow?

    Found a 96 2dr Tahoe locally. Im not sure whether its a 2wd or 4wd yet, I'll know tomorrow when I check it out. But anyway, I am wondering how the 2wd version handles in the snow? The winters can get pretty bad up here (VT) so its important that it handles well. Any experience? Thanks, Dan

    SO where is the best place to find.......?

    Im looking for an old Chevy Suburban, in the date range from 1987 - 1991. There are a few in states that surround VT (NH, NY) but I want to make sure (before I make the drive to get one) that I know what I am getting myself into. Is there any other forums for these vehicles? Does anyone have any...
