    Towing with a Tahoe

    As said above if you can afford it get it. However I usually don't get a 4WD because I don't need it. It really depends on where do you live and where do you tow your stuff. I use my Burban to tow a boat and I live in So. Cal. so I just will never use a 4WD. If you live in harsher climates...

    2007+ who makes the oem brake pads/rotors?

    Wagner brakes use to make GM OE brakes. I can't be sure who does now. As far as brakes are concern I had good luck with the OE pads as they have lasted 50K on my 08 Burban and then I replace them with a GM replacement pad from an online site that were ceramic. Stay away from ceramic! These...

    New Exhaust on my 07 Tahoe

    e-dub. I got a kit for my burb on Ebay. Its a single in/out. You can get it for about $450 shipped if you make an offer on the guys who allow offers. Check with Jenna Bear she also have good deals. FWIW I personally think it would be more economical to purchase a Magnaflow muffler single in...

    Don't know what kit to get????

    The first question is to ask yourself how low you want to go. The lower you go the stiffer the ride. The next question is if you want to spend more money on spindles or just coils. Spindles will give you a stock ride and maintain better alignment then coils will. Coils will handle better...

    Airaid Jr. Installed

    I just installed the Airaid Jr. on my 08 Burban today which I purchase from Jennabear. The istalation is staright forward and takes about 15-20 minutes. Too bad I did not recieve it before my drive out to the Grand Cayon. I guess that OK because now I have a good idea of my MPG on the Hyw...

    Noisy rear differential on my '96 Tahoe

    Thats a tough one. In general when a differential is making noise that you are describing its due to load on the gears. If it was bearings it would make noise all of the time. I have had problems with differential noise on a van before and after I changed out the bearings it still made noise...

    Can I just lower the Rear

    Mcguaghy's, Belltech, and DJM all makes a 2" lowering spring for the rear. Given that you have an LTZ you probably want the McGuaghy's since they have shock extenders to work with your factory autoride shoocks. I think they cost about $250.

    Best time to switch from organic to synthetic oil

    It does not matter when you decide to switch to synthetics. There was an issue in the old days with older cars leaking synthetic oil past the seals. The reason is because on some of these older cars they ran very thick oils and since synthetic oils were thinner and smaller molecules than a...

    LS7/7.0L/427

    Given you have a Denali and you have a 6.0L you already have the basis for a strong engine. The weakness in your engine is in the heads. You can swap them out for a LS2 or LS 3 heads or for more juice a ported head or AFR heads. Get a cam and some special tuning and you'll get in the...

    longtube vs. shorty headers

    Depends on the modifications done to the engine. On lightly modified engine such as CAI, Cat back, reflash the HP gain from headers is small and usually at the top end. You most likely lose some botoom end HP. Long tubes usually have a broader torque band compare to shorty, but if you are not...

    LS7/7.0L/427

    The bottom line is much money is too much money. The LS 7 will bolt in directly, but the electronics is different than your LQ4 so making them all communicate with each other is where it is gonna be hard. Your tranny can't handle all of that power, but you can have it beefed up by a tranny...

    Polishing Help.

    Removing Scratches is a matter of using an abrassive polish to remove a fraction of the clear so that the scratches are not visable. Now deep scratches are never removable. You will need to use the porter cable machine to do it right as doing it by hand does not work very well. The polish you...

    '08 Leveling kit

    McGuaghy's has a 2" rear lower kit thats made for leveling Part #30014 which includes springs and new hangers for the stock shocks. Belltech sells #5321 for Hoes or 5301 for Burbs which lowers 2" in the rears. I am considering to do this, but I'm probably will get the Belltech because I have a...

    What is the 23hp difference between the Denali/Escalade?

    Has anyone thought that the Caddy recomends premium while the Denali uses 87. The octane alone on testing for SAE HP can account for the differences in HP. New for '09 is the 6.2 in the Silverado rated at 402HP. I highly doubt that GM is building different CR engine for the SUV/Trucks these...
