This can't be normal..

I know Tahoes aren't known for great MPG, but 11mpg makes me want to drive off a fucking cliff.

Do you think these long pipe headers with built-in catalytic converters will pass emissions inspection?

Crazy add on, I know, but I’d like to fully rebuild my exhaust on my 5.3 Tahoe including less restrictive mufflers and a dual pipe system.

Assuming no issues with the rest of the system, do you think these cat’d headers will pass emissions?

Maryland state emissions that is.

Tips on fishing the Chesapeake from shore?

Back in June I had tons of luck using night crawlers, blood worms and shrimp on bottom rigs. Caught a ton of catfish, croakers and spots. This was mostly between Fort Smallwood, Sandy Point and around the Naval Academy.

Took mostly July off and have been back to fishing the same spots with mostly the same bait. However, fishing for hours, mostly evening and night, and I've caught nothing the last 3-4 times I've been out. I've noticed the tide has been a bit rougher, but otherwise I try to fish at hide tide, cloudy weather and often after storms and still nothing. The last time I’ve noticed a ton of algae and a sort of slime all over my rigs. Is there some sort of bloom affecting fish?

Would love some advice.

Max size tires with 1.5” spacers 2021 Tahoe?

Hello!

I have a 2021 Tahoe Z71 with the standard 33” 275/60R20 tires. However, I’ve installed 1.5” hub-centric spacers on all wheels. No lift kit nor any other modifications other than a DFM disabler.

Could reasonable jump up to 34” tires? Possibly 295/60r20?

Anyone increase their tire size without a lift kit? Would love some feedback. Thanks!

Catastrophically broken or a bit of JB weld to fix my DCS367

Hello all!

I was recently cutting through a stud with some pressure on it. I guess the pressure was too much and killed my 20v max reciprocating saw (DCS367). I don't know what the piece is called, but it's part of the head that holds the blade in place. The tip broke off. Still seems fairly stable without it, however.

Is this tool toast or would a bit of JB weld do the tick? Or does anyone have other thoughts?

Thanks!
