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 […]
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 […]
Short vs Long Tube Headers – My Personal Decision (Video)
My short vs long tube headers decision had been going on for at least a year – maybe longer. At first, I desperately wanted shorty headers because I had read how much easier they were to install, and how they just “bolted on” with the stock Y pipe. Then I read about how well made […]
Unboxing GM Truck Long Tube Headers and Y Pipe from Speed Engineering (Video)
I’ll be the first to say, I don’t care much for “un-boxing” videos and I never set out to create one. The thing is that when my long tube headers showed up, part of the mating surface from the header to the head was sticking outside the box. I asked my wife to grab the […]
Bilstein Springs and Shocks Installation (Video)
How to decide on which springs and shocks? So many options, it will make your head spin. Thanks to the guys over at www.tahoeyukonforum.com I was able to decide. There was overwhelmingly positive feedback about these Bilstein Shocks and Springs. If your ride height has been changed, opt for the 5100s, but for my stock […]
Engine Oil Cooler Install and Making AN Hose Fittings (Video)
Oil getting too hot can be the death of an engine. Enter, the oil cooler. I had seen many sandwich plate oil coolers and actually purchased one but was disappointed by the fact that I could not find one with both a port for an oil temp gauge and a thermostat that would fit my […]
Installing a Transmission Cooler (Flex-a-lite) (Video)
My GM truck was purchased with a “tow package”, so it had a stock trans cooler. The stock transmission cooler is rather small, and had almost 190,000 miles on it, so I thought I would retire it. The new Flex-a-lite trans cooler was not that expensive, and I had the whole car ripped apart anyway, […]
How to hook up Electric Fans to the Air Conditioner (AC) Clutch (Video)
This is part 3 (of 3) of my video series on installing a Griffin Radiator and Spal Electric Fans. At this point, the radiator is in the car, and the required electronics are hooked up. This means that the fans operate on a thermostatic control we earlier placed in the radiator. At this point the […]
Wiring Up Electrical Fans for Radiator (Video)
In this 2nd of 3 video series on installing an all-aluminum 2 core radiator with electrical fans, I cover all the required electrical hook ups. This whole process is not hard, but I will say, it requires patience. The Griffin radiator kit comes with a relay and wiring for each fan, but a separate relay […]
