1998 Chevy Tahoe Buildup - Refreshed Ride

Casey Scranton used a mig welder to ensure there are no leaks...

...in the CGS after-cat system from exhaust flange to polished T-304 stainless steel exhaust tip.

A worms-eye view shows the CGS exhaust installed under the Tahoe.

A CGS Motorsports air intake system consists of a powdercoated CNC mandrel bent air tube, inner fender mounting bracket, and a washable, cotton pleated element, enclosed in wire mesh.

A 13mm wrench was used to remove the cumbersome OEM filter airbox.

After inserting the CGS air intake tube into the OEM corrugated rubber tube, Casey secured the stainless steel clamp with a 8mm socket driver.

Casey reconnected the OEM air intake temp sensor (AIT) to the CGS air intake tube.

Casey installed the CGS air intake system in less than 20 minutes. The system was ready to inhale and increase horsepower and fuel mileage.

After laying out and organizing the DJM Suspension lowering kit on Ox's well-used bench top, a quick inventory was taken of parts to make sure everything was accounted for.

Before putting the '98 Tahoe on the lift, Ox took measurements at all four-corners and recorded them before beginning the install.

After removing the off-road wheel/tires, the front OEM suspension was disassembled.

While the front suspension was disassembled, it was a good time to install new upper and lower ball joints.
