Tom, if you do not mind of course... Maybe we could make a sticky for tow rigs?

Could I also pose question about replacement tires? I have a 2003 Yukon, 87k on the clock, looking to change the tires.
Stocks replacements on all four corners now, but looking for an upgrade.

What exhaust do you have on it?

I upgraded to some 17" "take-off" wheels and tires from a Z pickup. Lots of folks want to put on the bling-bling wheels and the factory stuff ends up in the parts dept. You can get some really good deals if you ask around at diff Chevy dealers. I think it was about $700 for the 4 wheels and tires..brand new!! Will need to get some new rubber in the next 6 months..I do a lot of driving for work and these are starting to get down. The exhaust is a Corsa or Borsa, some name like that. A real GM approved accessory that dealers offer...sounds good!

Get a Westers tune before spending $$ on CIB and exhaust.



Westers [ QUOTE ]
FACT, a customized ECU or PCM with recalibrated performance calibration is the CHEAPEST and usually the ONLY way to increase the performance level of your computer controlled fuel injected gasoline or diesel engine. These "chips" are located in every vehicle's onboard computer system. Whether it's gasoline or diesel--we can turn up the boost, make that transmission shift right, remove speed and rev limiting, while improving fuel economy, and improve overall driveability.

We've spent considerable time developing high mileage calibrations for your GM and Ford car and trucks.[/QUOTE]
