Sweet. I get to be a baller. I'm looking into exhausts but I have to get the wife's approval (her vehicle). If I got 18.9 on the hwy then I would be content. I've taken this truck on hwy trips (250 miles) before and I usually get 16.6-16.9 with the speed at 80.

Unfortunately the wires I got from NAPA were $85. :mad2: I just stuck with .040 on the gap so I guess we'll see if I get any increase in gas mileage. The truck had 120k on it....I hope to see something for a full days worth of aggravation.

Fellas, this has been one of the worst days of my life when it comes to working on a vehicle. I just switched out the wires but I've come to the conclusion that these wires suck. They have the hardest time clipping onto the coil and I cannot get it to clip on a few of the plugs. Instead of...

AAAAHHHHHHHH. I just started putting the new wires on and I couldn't get it to clip onto the plug. I look inside the wire and my new wire is broken. Some more driving.:mad2:

Man, I don't know but it seems like its going from bad to worse. I get to NAPA and give my information: Z in the vin# and delphi coil. They decide (based of the computer) that my tahoe is a flex fuel...even though I don't see anything on it that says flex. They give me some wires that are...

Wow. I love it when an easy job becomes instantly hard.:nonod: I just finished changing all the plugs and it was ok except for the plugs that are closest to the firewall (driver and passenger). The passenger side was the worst b/c I had to get under the vehicle to get the plug back in. The...

Why did you go with them to begin with? I don't know alot about this stuff for these trucks but it seems like Black Bear is the route that the people on these boards take.

Yeah, the ac delco plugs are 6.99 each. I just wanted to put the OEM plugs in it. Also, I didn't have to pay for the plugs. Ultimately, it will still be cheaper than the $350 the dealer wanted to change the plugs.

I just bought a set of plugs to install tomorrow after church. I'm hoping for an increase in gas mileage as the truck has 120k on it. One thing: I bought ac delco plugs........sorry guys, I know the recommended plug from this site is NKG but the truck is just a daily driver for my wife.

^I couldn't hardly hear it from the inside. Thats nice.

I would definitely stay away from a $1200 paint job. I had a 1988 Mustang GT that was quoted $3000 for a color change to black. I could probably drive that car into the cargo area of our chevy beasts. Not to mention, black is one of the hardest colors to paint. It will show every flaw on...

I won't get into the whole "everybody was drunk" but still drove home talk. I've got kids and it pisses me off to hear about drunks driving the street....anyways. I knew a guy that drove home drunk with a friend passed out in the passenger seat. He got up the next day and went out to his...

I like that sound! My question is this: How does it sound on the inside of the truck? I want something that will not cause a huge increase inside....I also want to avoid a drone.

Was there drinking at this party? If he was drunk then he might not even know he did anything.

The Tahoe has 120k on it and the transmission fluid has never been changed. The dealership thinks that it might be better to leave the old fluid in it since it has been in there over 75k-100k. He says the new fluid will cause the seals to leak which will cause low fluid levels which will cause...

The tails on my 99 cobras were tinted but it was done with actual tint. They looked great and were easy to remove it I wanted to remove them. I wonder if anyone makes something like this for the Tahoe?

I'm getting a 2003 Tahoe LT (called it an LS in a different thread...my mistake). I was looking on MSN Autos and they say the motor is a 4.8 rated at 275 hp. According to the sticker on the engine, my Tahoe is a 5.3 but MSN makes it look like the 4.8 is the only size available. I'm sure MSN...

Thanks for the input. My mom-in-law just came over and I took the opportunity to check it out. I almost laughed out loud because the guy said the plugs are hard to get to. It looks like a truck to me....I feel like I could camp out under the hood with all that room. Totally different than...

Everything these days have coil packs (as opposed to the old distributors). On my old 99 cobra the packs were right on top of the plugs. That was what I was asking the dealership. I guess we were both right. Did you need any special tools (flexible joint) or did you get it all out with...

I will be taking my in-laws (soon to be my family's) 2003 tahoe into the dealer to have the maintenance done to it (fluid changes across the board). It has 120k on it and the plugs are still the original. The dealer quoted me $320 to change them out:eek:. I told him it seemed high but he said...
