'99 4 Door Tahoe SAS Build, Taking it back a few years
- Thread starter 4door99
- Start date
Ah, well with that added info I’d say go with BentMarker’s plan.
Fill it with Type F atf might live a smidge longer.
Finally, new rubber!! Cooper Discoverers STT pros, size 37-12.50-17. Sad to say that this is the first set of brand new tires that I’ve put on the Tahoe since I put it together. Went this route hoping for a little better road wear vs. the IROKS. Hoping I didn’t sacrifice much of the off-road ability. Time will tell.
That looks absolutely delicious!!!
I don’t think you’ll notice any less traction with the new rubber in Moab
Yep, It's not Moab that I'm worried about. I think street tires would rock it at that place. Its the local trails. Loose rock and dirt is where the IROKS really amazed me. I'll just have to see with these.

changed the fluid and filter and all fine so far. No more shutter. Shifting well. Have had one full weekend of hard wheeling, towed a couple of vehicles, and coming up on 2,000 miles since the change. Asked several transmission shops about it, all have said there's defiantly wear, but don't fix what ain't broke. So I'm still rolling with it.
Yes Bent! As long as the shifter has the bicycle lever hand throttle.Hey ChadBrad
want me to bring a spare 465?
Done!Yes Bent! As long as the shifter has the bicycle lever hand throttle.
That way if I need it, its ready!
LOL, since '09 when I bought my blazer it's never had "new" tires on it. Chunk them faster than I wear then hahahaha, why buy new? Craigslist specials for me. Anything between a 37 to 40" tire.
Dang that thing looks good! I was just recently thinking that I might need a newer Tahoe or burban with a big block or 6.5TD to build a wheeling rig I can beat on more. I just don't think I could ever let my K5 get an significant body damage.
yep, that truck is looking awesome

If they’re anything like the Nittos I think you’ll be happy. IMO I don’t think the iroks have much if any advantage over the Nittos in the rocks. Plus you drive to trails like I do so I would never run the iroks.
Did you ever get a chance to do a front locker and hydro assist?
No front locker yet. I want to go with an air locker, and its just not in the budget as of yet. But its the very next mod after my hydro assist. The adding of the hydro assist starts this weekend. I'm rebuilding and tapping my own steering box. PSC ram came in this week, and I've about rounded up the rest of the parts.
Pics of my process soon to follow.
