    Tire Recommendations: Mostly highway miles + some offroad

    I will definitely do a long term report on these tires. I couldn't find hardly any information at all on them when researching tires. We'll see how they hold up. Casey

    Tire Recommendations: Mostly highway miles + some offroad

    Well, I ended up going a completely different route than I originally intended! I purchased a set of 5 Toyota steel wheels, with 4 brand new Kenda Klever M/T tires in size 285/75R16, with a nearly matching used spare Maxxis Bighorn in size 255/85R16. I didn't intend to get such a gnarly...

    95 Chev Tahoe build

    Thanks for the update! I too have a 95 2 door with the 6.5L diesel. I've got 264K miles and she's still running great! Casey On edit: I just now saw your reply over at GMC4x4.com!

    '99 Tahoe - Expedition Build!

    Very nice! I don't understand why more IFS lift kit manufacturers don't supply some sort of product like this with their kits. I never saw the point of lifting the suspension while leaving the torsion bars exposed and hanging down so low. Casey

    Transmission Breather Tube Extension & Relocation

    Most of the crossings stay around 30" or so. There may be one or two a bit deeper. Here's one Central Overland just did last weekend: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2eTuwG_NJ4&feature=player_embedded Casey

    Transmission Breather Tube Extension & Relocation

    Thanks! I've found the transmission vent tube, but need to dig around a bit more for the transfer case vent. I'm planning a "High Water Mark" trip with Central Overland in about two weeks, and I need to make sure all my vents are taken care of before we hit several water crossings. Casey

    full size pickups show improved mpg

    Hmmmm..... My Tahoe just pulled down her best MPG yet after an 800+ mile round trip to Memphis and back this past weekend: 18.67 MPG! And that's with an 18 year old vehicle with 264K on the clock! Ain't too shabby for a fully loaded full size 4x4 if you ask me. Gotta love a turbodiesel in a...

    Transmission Breather Tube Extension & Relocation

    So the transfer case vent tube runs across the top of the transmission up to the rear of the engine? Just wanting to clarify. Thanks!! Casey

    Is the breather a short tube? I'm having trouble actually locating the vent.... Thanks! Casey

    Dude, I love the sidepipes! I've always loved the '70's looks. Here's my old '81 C20 that I converted to 6.2L diesel, and at the time (late 90's) I ran side pipe exhaust that I got from JC Whitney. Looked and sounded great, but the diesel exhaust sooted up the rear wheels really bad. I...

    Transmission Breather Tube Extension & Relocation

    Back to the top.... Anyone know about the 241 breather? Does anyone have a parts breakdown image for the 241? Thanks! Casey

    Transmission Breather Tube Extension & Relocation

    Quick question: Does the 241 Transfer Case have an external vent? I've located and made plans for extending the vents for the front/rear diffs and tranny, but I can't seem to locate a breather on the TC. Thanks, Casey

    Transmission Breather Tube Extension & Relocation

    Me too. I've got a leaking axle seal at the drum end, so I'm going to replace both axle seals, change the fluid, and extend the rear diff breather all at the same time. Casey

    Transmission Breather Tube Extension & Relocation

    Nice video! I need to do this to my rig soon. I extended all the breathers on my Jeep, now I need to do my Tahoe. Especially since I'm planning a trip in April that will involve multiple water crossings! Casey

    1999 GMC Yukon Build

    As expensive as IFS lift kits are, I see absolutely no reason to spend the money and retain that system. You end up with nothing more than a higher vehicle.... you still have the exact same geometry and wheel travel. I would put the money towards an SAS for sure and end up with a more...

    Thank you for the pic! That's exactly what I was looking for. Now I know how to build my own! Good work. Casey

    home built rear rack project

    Another question: Do you have to open the carrier to pop open the rear hatch? I was concerned with having to unlatch and swing the carrier around every time I wanted to open the rear hatch. Thanks, Casey
