    Just pulled it out of the Paint booth!

    Maybe I just don't get it? Are the red lines around the doors, gas cap, and other body lines intentionally red? Or is that an affect of the paint? Like I said, Maybe I just don't get it.

    Dont spend your money on smooth vent caps, make your own!!

    That's an awesome job. Thanks for posting that. I also am too damn cheap to pay for caps but want them in a bad way. I aslo thought of going this route and molding in some aux. reverse lights or a small LED strip. Either way yours look great. Jon

    Remove wax from plastic

    For those that are reading this in hopes of avoiding this happening to them let me share my trick. I place blue painters tape over all the black plastic near where I will be waxing. Using my Porter CAble 7424 it is very easy to run over the edge of the plastic. By placing the blue painters...

    Remove wax from plastic

    I would recomend using clay bar on it. It should pick of the wax. After it is removed then use your back to black. Jon

    Which Wax is The Best ??

    Honestly more can be said to how the wax is applied than which one you use. I would start looking into a Porter Cable 7424 to apply the wax. There are some many great kits out there form Autogeek and others. The pre wax cleaning and cutting (polish, claybar) will make even lower end waxes...

    Need some ideas..have about $300 to spend on the Tahoe

    I would attend to that ugly sub box. I am one that prefers function over form but you should clean that one up. Some vinyl or carpet would go a long way to making it look a lot better. Jon

    Dropped Big Sexy

    You know that Obama will probably make Suburbans (and large SUVs in general) illegal or tax us for owning them. Not sure on the drop. Maybe it's the camera angle.

    Replacing ATF and Rear Diff Fluid

    bump I also want to change the rear diff fluid but not sure if I need to pull the cover or if there is a drain. I guess I could just crawl under there and look. I was just hopins someone could link to a write up.

    Serious Tech Question

    Performance MAFs have larger diameter and therefore they allow more air into the engine. They are Calibrated to calculate the proper air to fuel mixture based on the larger CFM. Swapping the resistors in your stock MAF will either trick the engine to go lean or dump more fuel. Neither is...

    Serious Tech Question

    for your own benifit do not refer to resistors as "performance". When you say that your MAF is "bad" what exactly led you to this conclusion? Is it damaged? Did you have it diagnosed? If not any of the above, have you cleaned it? It can be cleaned using spray cleaner specifically...

    header help please

    Thanks I'll fix that Typo. I live here in North Texas so I think that I'm good as I live in an area that doesn't do smog tests. So I need the Y-pipe? Jon

    header help please

    There is a local guy trying to sell some long tube pacesetter headers PART # 70-2265 that are brand new. He only wants 125 for them. Here is my question: Will these fit my 2003 4.8 without having to modify the rest of the exhaust? Thanks, Jon

    Wax / Surface Problem

    It sounds like you should strip it off and start over. Washing with Dawn should do it. From what you described it sounds like it is just one area that is bad. If that is the case wash the entire truck with Dawn then clay bar the area that was bad (no reason to do the whole truck unless you...

    cruise control help

    well the brakes light up fine. I did however swap the bulbs to LED versions. Just for a test I'll yank them and relplace them with regular bulbs to see if they are creating an issue. When I say that the cruise is not working I mean that the indicator light on the dash does not even come on...

    cruise control help

    Hey guys, I’m looking for some directions for chasing down a cruise control problem. On my 03 2wd Tahoe the cruise worked fine until the day after I installed my amp using the PAC adaptor. I of course had to remove the dash bezel and to do that I had to drop the steering wheel down to...

    Synthetic Oil

    It is never foolish to switch to synthetic for reasons of logevity, wear, or performance. There is some debate if over the long haul there is a return on your investment if you are looking to increase mileage enough to pay back for the extra cost of synthetic fluids. I run Mobil 1 over RP...

    I Lost her today

    Sorry to hear that. Being that it is under extended warranty will you be getting a "stock" rebuild or replacement or stepping up to something better? I wouldn't know what you would need but surely there are dozens of companies out there with a performace upgraded tranny either for speed or towing.
