[@robgaskins6505]

I know this is out of date but I wanted to say that I have a 1999 Tahoe 2 wd with the 350. Absolutely the best vehicle I have ever owned. I have 321k on it now. I have never had to go into the motor or tranny, only alternator and starter and serpentine system. I sprung an unknown leak on the rearend and burnt up the rearend. $350 salvage yard cost for replacement rearend. A weekend of swapping the rear end and back on the road for 40k so far. I wouldn’t trade my Tahoe for a brand new one.

[@Gods_Patriot]

Try new non OEM intake manifold gaskets, rip out the spider injection, and keep the fuel filter replaced yearly as well as keeping your tank above 1/4 at all times to keep your fuel pump alive as long as possible. These trucks last forever after a few mechanical fixes

[@jeffmay7263]

The very FIRST thing you should do to your 1500 Like that is take the Rust starting wheelwell mouldings off your wheelwells..All they are good for is holding dirt, grime and road salt and causing Rust to form. 2nd is invest in a set of weather tech floor liners. 3rd is change your exhaust to a true dual exhaust. 4th change to new headlights like you stated.

Cut a hole in the bed above the fuel pump, and use the piece to make a little door with weather stripping. Some people get lucky and don’t ever have to replace the fuel pump but mine failed more times than I can count in my 96 and also buy a lifetime warranty fuel pump if it does go out so you can take it back if it. And never let you fuel gauge go below half a tank lol

Thanks for the video and the very practical tips for enhancing a truck. I have a 1992 K1500 Suburban with the 6 speaker factory stereo and first thing I did when I bought it is upgraded to a modern Kenwood with Bluetooth etc. so I can answer phone hands free and stream music from my IPhone. The console in my truck is bigger than the 96/99 trucks and my 4 x 4 shifter is on the floor where I like it. I have purchased Anzo headlites and park lites but haven't installed them yet. I'm surprised you didn't mention changing out the taillights for plug and play LEDs as they are inexpensive and easy to change out. My Burb came with the RPO NZZ - OFF ROAD pkg and surprisingly 225/75 16 tires as I guess they weren't part of the Odd Road Package. I have bought a 2015 GMC factory 18 inch rims and a set of 265/70 18 inch tires but again haven't installed them.. I will be checking on you suggestion of the front stabilizer and leveling kits but will not be lifting it at all.

Have you ever considered swapping you center console for the Cadillac Escalade center console, it has duel cup holders and more storage towards the front. And it matches your trim

[@TRUCKOCD]

Bryce Lytle either the 97-99 Escalade or Yukon Denali console, they go all the way up to the dash

[@TrucksandWater]

I will look into it!

[@ctusser]

Nice Truck! The stock torsion keys can lift the truck 2” if adjusted. You don’t want to go any further than that or you’ll max your suspension so it won’t have downward travel if you hit a dip the front tires will loose contact. Also the reason the front and rear wheel-wells have an inch difference is because the truck is designed to have an inch of rake, it is not designed to ride level with the frame but for the wheel-well gaps to look level with an inch of forrake.

[@1willubhave]

Some trucks have a cup holder insert instead of the CD holder insert and it makes way for a great stash compartment under it

Yes it does

[@codydunn242]

Just so you know the body is level with the frame but the reason it looks like it's squats in the rear is because the opening in the front is higher the new rear wheel well opening by the front wheels to turn and still go full suspension travel without hitting the fender.

Maybe upgrade the master cylinder to one from a 2000 era chevy truck, do a relay mod to the headlight harness, twin piston brake calipers that bolt in, escalade console and many more mods before or better mods than what you have.

#5 make your truck trackable? No thanks. #4 Real men don't fear the clutch. #3 Okay, I'll give you that one. #2 Is part of #3 no question. #1 You're almost right. For the headlights, having them all LED is a bad idea for winter as they will get covered in snow and reduce your vision to nada pdq. To do them up right you could try this mod. Pull the stock wires and replace with 10 ga. Run relays for both high and low beams. Put in a crossover so all four come up on high beam. Use HID lights for your lows and LED's for high beams. Snow will melt off the HID low beams, instant on for the LED highs, you won't cook your switch with the relays and your voltage drop in that circuit will be dropped putting more light out front with the heavier wires. It's your truck, if you're happy with it then that's what counts. Carry on.
