Talking Advice and Recommendations. 07 Hoe

Hello Guys. New to the forum here and thought id share what I've done.

I bought a used 07 tahoe about 6 months Ago and have 101k miles on it now.
Its the LTZ white with black interior

so fare i upgraded the wheels to the 22 inch SS wheels and had them painted to the corvette hyper silver with Nitto tires.

then i Blacked out the emblems and put on a new black billet grill. I upgraded all interior and exterior lights to LED looks sharp.

then i put in HID for low high and fog lamps.

i had the nave and put in a lock pick for iPod integration and added a back up camera.

i upgraded the amp to the stock sub.. best thing I've done yet. no need to change it if your looking for just a little more bass and not sacrifice space. added a 300 watt jl audio and hid i in rear panel.

i changed the solenoid issues for code p0449 that gave me and issue.

runs great and have zero issues.

i replaced all the wood grain with silver and or painted the panels flat black. like the the ones on the door and in front of the passenger airbag. the one around the radio i replace with brushed aluminum from dealer.

i love my truck and have not have all these problems i read on here.

i now have a few questions about service. i hear the tune up is important at 100k but i normally go by the saying if it aint broke don't fix it. is that dumb should i change plugs and wires even though it is smooth as can be? if so how hard is that and what should i buy.

i think it may need brakes as my mechanic said 30% 6 months ago.

what do y'all recommend about brakes and rotors ? i want smooth ones and hate squeaks lol

i did a tranny service and of course always use mobile one full synthetic. i changed two belt ac and something else. not sure but it was recommend when i did my oil change. i also did the rear differential service .


is there anything else i should be doing now.

oh one problem I'm having is the power mirror. not the folding part that works the actually mirrors shake like crazy and can't move up on the driver side with power switch. i have to move it with my hand. moves side to side and down just not up . easy fix? replace whole Thing? not sure..


any advice would help guys.

i also put on a magnalflow exhaust system sounds ok not too loud cuz i didn't want that. i want to order a volant cold air intake system. what you think about that is it a good one? what can i expect to improve with that?


thanks for reading and any advice or tips is really appreciated .

thanks guys and gals lol

If it's a 4WD, might service front diff and transfer case.

Other than looking cool, not sure what an aftermarket CAI adds since the stock system is already CAI.

How about some pics of your rig and all the mods. Sounds nice.
