    Gas tanks

    Dual tank set-up? 2-dr Tahoe tank in place of spare tire? Aux tank/truck box in bed?

    Can anybody identify this?

    The only remedy I've run across is cutting it off and replacing it with a bolt-on clamp. This route enables you to leave everything intact while doing the modification. They keep the leaves aligned so you don't end up with silly axle wrap while drag racing your buddies...

    do any of the the cold air intakes work?

    I do like the reusable feature. I run my Airaid with a prefilter (in AZ) and it holds up pretty well between cleanings. My 'Hoe is left stock, so as soon as I find a swarm of bees in the airbox I'll replace...

    Clear Tail Lights

    APC carried them and promptly discontinued. Disclaimer on box said they could not be utilized on road-driven vehicles. Pretty much unapproved in all 50 by DOT. I had clears on my stepside and I loved the look, but when I had the lights on they looked like a magenta or rich pink color. If DOT...

    do any of the the cold air intakes work?

    A little larger filter surface area is about it. A little gain in the amount of air being pulled into the motor. I have an Airaid intake with no box that I put in years ago because it looked cool. Wouldn't do it again. A paper Fram filter will do a better job at filtering the air and only high...

    LS Swap 65 Bel Air

    DIY dudes with sick talent can build cars like that for half the asking price. Point being, ever since all these auction companies went big time, every ******* with a pre-1970 vehicle thinks they're sitting on gold bullion. Eff your rusty '67 'Stang "Eleanor", it's worth $2500 in Indiana circa...

    LS Swap 65 Bel Air

    If it weren't for Barret Jackson, you could pick up that car for $12,000...

    Plus size tires?

    1999 Tahoe, 4wd, no lift, running the OEM sawblade alloys. What's the largest tire you could install without rubbing? I have a mismatched set of tires on it from previous owner and want to run BFG Rugged Terrains. The Long Trails are a bit too timid and I don't want the cost and road noise from...

    Inaccurate Gas gauge

    What if the gas gauge needle has a wicked shimmy to it while the vehicle is running? That's what I'm seeing. It reads accurate, but looking at it while it's having a seizure at a rave is bugging me...

    Locking console latch

    The console on my '99 Tahoe has the latch completely missing. No biggie, but I like the lockable Tuffy consoles. They're ugly as sin, but it's a farkin' safe in between your seats. You'll also lose out on cup holder option for your rear passengers. I still may go that route or build a one-off...

    sun visor swings out

    I know older ones have a spring loaded nut, maybe nylon threaded. You would have to remove the visor and check the guts to see if it needs to be tightened...

    compass mirror broke?

    I picked up a Tahoe a couple weeks ago and mine is out of whack, too. Direction is never right. I've never tinkered with one before and mine only has the temp in Celsius. I don't mind doing the calculation, but I also don't think it's worth replacing. May just pick up a black anodized Bowtie...

    1999 Chevy Tahoe LT

    Picked up this 'Hoe in Phoenix this weekend. Needed to go bigger for a growing family and wanted 4wd capability. Bone effin' stock, not even a dash mat or tow hitch. What to do? Still have the step-side, btw...

    1989 Service Engine Soon lamp issue

    O2 sensors seem to be the culprit. Same deal here. Light came on and off several times over the course of a few months. No codes thrown. Replaced sensors, back to normal. For... Now...
