So to be clear, this is YOU asking YOURSELF if you can fix your own car. My answer is absolutely! Flashback to 2015. Here’s my Tahoe on the flatbed all broken down and on it’s way to the shop. The problem? I ran over something that tore a fuel line and wasn’t getting any gas […]
4L60e to 4L80e Swap – Installing a 4L80e Transmission on a 4X4
Here, we are going to explore the actual hands on steps in our 4L60e to 4L80e Swap in my 2002 Chevy Tahoe 4×4. The first thing I wanted to do was clean out the lines and the trans coolers of any fluid and possible debris from my old 4L60e. I used a bottle of Kooler […]
The Backstory of my 2002 Chevy Tahoe
I bought my Chevy Tahoe new in Sept, 2001. In December of 2001, I put a bug guard on the hood (in the snow), and I remember being proud of my very first mod ever. Somewhere in those early days, I bought the cold air intake and a performance muffler. I didn’t mod the car […]
Every 30 Min Car Show Ever … (Right after these messages)
Yes, I am picking on Every 30 Min Car Show Ever. Don’t get me wrong, I like these shows, but they are done so cheesy. With their best “SUNDAY, Sunday, Sunday” radio voices and trying to be as manly and testosterone filled as possible. Then they try to make us believe we can slam a […]
I Bought A Turbo for my Chevy Tahoe
Yes, I bought a turbo for my Chevy Tahoe. After a complete engine rebuild and 4L80e transmission swap, I am ready to start building some serious power. I have to be honest, I’ve never done this before, so after scouring the internet for weeks, (might have been months), I decided to just follow Sloppy Mechanics […]
Installing a Floor Winch in a Garage with a Steep Driveway
I’m installing a floor winch in my garage because my driveway is very steep and I can’t get the Tahoe up the drive. If you’ve been following you know that I’ve added substantial horsepower to the Tahoe, and even though I beefed up the 4L60e transmission with upgraded parts, I still blew it up recently […]
Chevy Tahoe 4L60e Transmission Exploded
So, my Chevy Tahoe 4L60e Transmission Exploded recently and you might be surprised that I am happy about the whole thing. My plan all along has been to swap out the 4L60e for the much stronger 4L80e and add a turbo to the truck. With the turbo, the Tahoe will have more than 500+ horsepower […]
Installing Gauges Glow Shift Tahoe
Installing Glow Shift Gauges was a pretty involved process, but if you’ve done performance mods on your engine, definitely WELL worth it! Hardest part will be finding a spot to go through the firewall. Luckily for me, I already did this when I installed my aftermarket amplifier. I made a full video on where to […]
Long Tube Headers Sound, How loud are they? (Video)
My biggest question about getting long tube headers was, “how would they sound”? Would they be too loud? I found several long tube headers audio bytes on YouTube, but rarely did I find one with a before and after clip that actually sounded clear. Most were recorded with nothing more than the guy’s cell phone […]
Installing Long Tube Headers & Y Pipe on Chevy Tahoe GM Truck (Video)
If I made it this far, anyone can! The actual installation of the long tube headers (for me) was much easier than getting all those old rusty exhaust parts off. Now the only question, will it fit? I remember reading online mixed opinions on where to start. Should I start with the headers and work […]
