      I know this is out of date but I wanted to say that I have a 1999 Tahoe 2 wd with the 350. Absolutely the best vehicle I have ever owned. I have 321k on it now. I have never had to go into the motor or tranny, only alternator and starter and serpentine system. I sprung an unknown leak on the rearend and burnt up the rearend. $350 salvage yard cost for replacement rearend. A weekend of swapping the rear end and back on the road for 40k so far. I wouldn’t trade my Tahoe for a brand new one.

    The very FIRST thing you should do to your 1500 Like that is take the Rust starting wheelwell mouldings off your wheelwells..All they are good for is holding dirt, grime and road salt and causing Rust to form. 2nd is invest in a set of weather tech floor liners. 3rd is change your exhaust to a true dual exhaust. 4th change to new headlights like you stated.

    Cut a hole in the bed above the fuel pump, and use the piece to make a little door with weather stripping. Some people get lucky and don’t ever have to replace the fuel pump but mine failed more times than I can count in my 96 and also buy a lifetime warranty fuel pump if it does go out so you can take it back if it.
    And never let you fuel gauge go below half a tank lol

    #5 make your truck trackable? No thanks.
    #4 Real men don't fear the clutch.
    #3 Okay, I'll give you that one.
    #2 Is part of #3 no question.
    #1 You're almost right.
    For the headlights, having them all LED is a bad idea for winter as they will get covered in snow and reduce your vision to nada pdq. To do them up right you could try this mod.
    Pull the stock wires and replace with 10 ga. Run relays for both high and low beams. Put in a crossover so all four come up on high beam. Use HID lights for your lows and LED's for high beams. Snow will melt off the HID low beams, instant on for the LED highs, you won't cook your switch with the relays and your voltage drop in that circuit will be dropped putting more light out front with the heavier wires.
    It's your truck, if you're happy with it then that's what counts. Carry on.

    Nice Truck! The stock torsion keys can lift the truck 2” if adjusted. You don’t want to go any further than that or you’ll max your suspension so it won’t have downward travel if you hit a dip the front tires will loose contact. Also the reason the front and rear wheel-wells have an inch difference is because the truck is designed to have an inch of rake, it is not designed to ride level with the frame but for the wheel-well gaps to look level with an inch of forrake.

    If you don’t look directly in the lights you won’t be blinded? Don’t think that’s how it woks. It’s kinda like when a cop shines a flashlight in your eyes and you can’t see anything on the other side. I think they teach you in driving school not to roll around town with the brights on which if the truck is lifted at all it doesn’t matter cuz the low beam angle still hits everyone in the eyes. Basically just don’t have bright ass blue led’s

    Honestly, these truck look a lot better with a 2 inch lift, I put another leaf spring in the back when I replaced my U bolts. Then I turned my torsion bars up by 2 full turns. Cheaper than a lift kit, and its almost the same thing.

    Well you picked a good truck, honestly I don't feel comfortable taking advice from a guy who wasn't born when the truck was produced (you don't look 25). That said you did a good job!! They're great trucks, I've owned 3 and still own a 95 with well over 200k. Mine is a work horse. Step or brush bars as some call them are a Excellent addition, especially if they match the front brush bar. Also change the torque converter to one from a chevy blazer of same year or tranny and it makes a big difference in acceleration (keeping up with traffic these days, research it). The above statement was a compliment with a opinion on something to add to your list

    1. Headlight high beam x2
    2. Headlight low beam x2
    3. Turn Signals x2

    Thanks for the video and the very practical tips for enhancing a truck. I have a 1992 K1500 Suburban with the 6 speaker factory stereo and first thing I did when I bought it is upgraded to a modern Kenwood with Bluetooth etc. so I can answer phone hands free and stream music from my IPhone. The console in my truck is bigger than the 96/99 trucks and my 4 x 4 shifter is on the floor where I like it. I have purchased Anzo headlites and park lites but haven't installed them yet. I'm surprised you didn't mention changing out the taillights for plug and play LEDs as they are inexpensive and easy to change out. My Burb came with the RPO NZZ - OFF ROAD pkg and surprisingly 225/75 16 tires as I guess they weren't part of the Odd Road Package. I have bought a 2015 GMC factory 18 inch rims and a set of 265/70 18 inch tires but again haven't installed them.. I will be checking on you suggestion of the front stabilizer and leveling kits but will not be lifting it at all.

I love the push button 4x4 and the 3rd Dr. I just did a full 3" true duall exhaust no cats double H pipe thrush single chamber mufflers with 5" chrome tips on 90s I'm probably going to delete the trush bottles they sound great but just not loud enough for me.

    Good looking truck but it definitely ain't no "must dos" cuz I got a 92 k1500 and that mess ain't top of the list stuff. More like throwing on some vortec heads and do some needed valvetrain/intake/fueling upgrades to make some real power. It's all fine and good to have a cool truck but when you get your ass drug by a damn Civic then it ain't worth shit
