    Help -- I'm considering a BLACK Tahoe!

    If you like black I have found that the metallic blacks show a lot less dirt and smudges then your standard glossy blacks. I have a metallic black on my SRT8 and we just added a "Carbon Flash Metallic" GMC Acadia to our fleet and for black they always look clean. My wife just made this...

    Help -- I'm considering a BLACK Tahoe!

    I love black, infact every car in our family has been black for some time now, but IMO the General puts very cheap paint jobs on their vehicles. If I had to chose now, I would go white. My .02

    Ditched the 20's, got some z71 rims!

    I prefer the 20's but sounds like the 18's fit your lifestyle better, but aren't the stock 20's polished and not chrome?

    escalade rims

    They made stock 22's in '05? I have Escalade 22's off an '07 on my Denali w/ no problems. I thought the new GMT900's required a different offset then the prior generations?

    I have to ask......

    You can probably get away w/ just the last, but I think I remember doing all of them.

    I have to ask......

    I had the same problem. What I did was loosen the clamps and take some scrap pieces of wood (used 2 pieces of baseboard pieces stacked) and wedged it between the tip and the rear fascia, then tightened down. I was able to get the clearance needed. Not the most scientific approach but it...

    Z-71 suspension?

    Did you test one w/ Autoride? There is a big difference between a Tahoe with, and a Tahoe without. If you are trying to determine wether to get a Z71 or regular Tahoe based on ride, you would technically need to test drive all 3.

    Finally...pics of the painted GMC emblem!

    Fit perfectly, no cutting and the color matched good. I don't have any pictures, but I will try and post some. I bought 2 GMC decals for the Acadia and it cost me $12, at that price it's definitely worth a try. Painting will take you a LONG time to get it taped perfectly and even then, you...

    Magnaflow general question...

    Did mine w/ no lift and had it done in just over a half hour. Easiest exhaust system I have ever installed. Good luck!

    New wheels - do I need TPS sensors?

    You can use your old sensors, but the vehicle will need to be "reflashed" to adjust for the change. My dealer did it for free.

    Z-71 suspension?

    I'm a Denali man, so I could be wrong, but if I was opting for a Tahoe/Suburban I would go w/ the Z71 b/c I believe all of them come w/ the 4.10 gears. Guys w/ 4.10's claim to get better MPG and have more low end power. Besides, the exterior and especially the interior looks are so much better...

    Finally...pics of the painted GMC emblem!

    True, but even w/ black and white vehicles I was never able to find the "exact" color for my vehicle, nevermind a more unique color.

    I have heard of some shops that are able to put the factory color in a spray can for you.

    Finally...pics of the painted GMC emblem!

    Yes, the GMC emblem just clips on to the grill. I don't know the correct terminology for the type of clip, but there are about 3 or 4 long plastic pieces that have a clip "similar" to this: The plastic pieces holding the emblem to the grill have a middle section that needs to be...

    Performance mods worth it?

    I've done intake, exhaust and programmer and the programmer is the only one to give any "significant" gains in power. However, what you are looking to do, my suggestion would be GEARS!!!

    Finally...pics of the painted GMC emblem!

    Well, that's when it was about a week or two old so it was easy, now would be a different story. Just FYI, if you do decide to change your grill or if someone wants to tackle this project, you can seperate the emblem from the grill. You can even do it with the grill still on the vehicle, it...

    Looks nice! Painted mine immediately after getting the Denali a year back. I also did the same on my previous '07 Yukon XL, but it was white.

    Tahoe Hybrid Question

    I was told by the dealer that it was easily removed and they had already done it for previously.
