Daddy Needs Tahoe Help

[tobias]

Guys,

 

My old man is about to pull the trigger on a 4X4 Graystone '08 Tahoe LTZ. $53,270 MSRP out the door for just over $38K.

 

I have a few questions I was hoping a few of you may be able to help me out with.

 

1. Anyone know of a good rear-only lowering kit that works with the Autoride system?

 

2. Anyone have a Steel Gray (16U paint code, I believe) Yukon that would lend me their VIN to identify and buy the rear gate handle cover? I am having him swap this smooth one for the one with the bow tie.

 

3. Is the fuse for the DRL's #32 on the SUV's like it is on the trucks?

 

4. Has anyone installed the OE stainless exhaust tip? Are they worth a shit?

 

Thanks, Fellas!

 

EXTRAS:

Is there anyone in the Charlotte, NC area that might be interested in the OEM polished aluminum 20's? My dad will probably head to the custom wheel shop on his way home from the lot.

 

We may also have some chrome mirror caps and door handles available . He's likely to have them install color-matched caps and handles before he buys it but I have asked him to keep the chrome ones when he does.

Tobias,Wheres your Dad live near Charlotte?

 

BTW...I can get ahold of my buddy at Ground Force and see if there kit works with the Autoride system.

And I think the rear gate handle covers come "paint to match" from GM,So he'll have get it painted.

Just checked my wife's 2007 Tahoe LT, DRL #1 is 30 and DRL #2 is 32. Just like the trucks.

[MS3DALE]

Yep,I just double checked,The handle cover must be painted.

Yeah but if its like the trucks they changed them around for '08. (IE There different numbers for '08)

The Ground Force contact would be sweet! As for the cover, I figured that might be the case but I'll need a VIN anyway, unless someone knows a parts guy!

 

He's going to have the front bow tie color-matched anyway so shooting the cover too shouldn't be any big deal. Oh, are the rear fascia close outs paint-to-match too? Part number, maybe????

 

You kick ass, BTW.

 

Do you have friends or family in that area or something?

[gvbhunt]

Dangit! And here I thought I was being helpful....

Just checked my wife's 2007 Tahoe LT, DRL #1 is 30 and DRL #2 is 32. Just like the trucks.

 

I only pulled 32 on my truck and the DRL's were disabled just fine. I never pulled 30. For some reason I thought It was 32 and 34. Hmmm.

Yeah, well, it should say DRL right on it so it's not a big deal, just trying to give my dad as much help as possible. He's pretty damn handy and knows his way around a vehicle but I always like knowing just a little more than he does!

Nope,Don't know a parts guy,at least not a good one..Ha-Ha!!!!!

 

The part number on the Graystone rear fascia cover is 19155353

On the handle cover...15838850 with backup camera,15915678 without backup camera (I can't remember if the VIN of the Tahoe he was looking at had the camera or not)

 

I have a buddy that lives in Newton (Next to Hickory) I'm down there half a dozen times a year going to the NASCAR races and stuff,Plus I use to live down there also.

Yeah,Let me know next time your gonna' be down there,I go down for all three races (All-Star Challenge,Coke 600,Bank of America 500) plus when I go to Bristol I stay with my buddy because he goes with me,and its only a couple hours away from his place.

I also go down sometimes just to "get away" for the weekend,we go to the big mall in Concord (Concord Mills) to go to Bass Pro Shops,or we end up at the track for the Auto Fair if thats going on that weekend,I was suppose to be down there this weekend for the NHRA drag races but I decided not to go.

Will do! I've been to the Concord mall too. I love Bass Pro.

I love Bass Pro

 

Off Topic - Go figure right

 

About a yr and a half ago they put in a bass pro in Portage up norht have you been there? Very nice place. They also just recently put a cabelas in my old hometown (Hammond) and thats real nice too. Probably a little closer drive for you than NC if your taking a bass pro shopping trip.

 

Also are you sure they are the polished wheels? I have these on my LT, thought the LTZ have the chrome wheels.

 

Here are mine
