    P1870

    I know it's not good to bring a thread back to life out of the grave but I just have a follow up. I never got around to fixing the code and I just ran it as is since it only happened once in awhile. Well now I think it finally wore out because now it won't really shift out of first gear. I have...

    improving mpgs?

    ya its a 97 tahoe. they're only 285's so going back to the stock 265's i dont think it would be well worth the switch. ik for 33s to 35s you prolly lose around 3mpg and thats a differance of 2" where as 10mm wont make that much of a difference maybe 1mpg and imo not worth it. if doing intake...

    no dome light with door open

    last week i noticed that when i opened my door my dome lights didnt work but when i would use the switch to turn them on they work. gets annoying when you have a bunch of stuff to take out when you get home at night and dont like hitting the switch each time any ideas?

    parking lights

    do they give a good flood of light? my current lights dont give much light off to the sides which sucks being out in the country at night and not seeing too well into the ditches looking for deer that might jump out lol
