    Are there any differential gurus on this forum?

    I feel like if you're going to open the diff you might as well replace all the bearings or at least buy a full rebuild kit so you have everything on hand.

    3/4 Ton Suburban Running Hot

    I agree with the fan clutch. Pretty simple fix and cheap too.

    In a bind with my backup cam

    I wonder if anyone makes a high mount brake light with built in camera. That'd be awesome

    Rear Brake Slider Bolts

    As long as the caliper floats properly, meaning it slides in and out just fine with little to NO play in any other direction then I'd say it's fine. As for the slider with the rubber boot on it, i wouldn't worry about where it goes since pretty much every after market slide pin I've seen...

    Rusting Out

    I'm going through the same thing right now. Thinking about grinding/sanding, and painting then maybe oil coating everything. But theres soo many rust products out there i want to get it right the first time.

    E-Brake adjustable?

    There's multiple adjusters on the vehicle, at the rotor/drum which should only be used to set the shoes/drag, along the body on the drivers side just outside the frame rail which is what i'd use to set pedal stiffness.

    Pinion noise?

    Trucks FIXED.... ******SOLUTION****** Pinion nut wasn't tight enough. I didn't have a beam torque wrench and for some reason no one near by carries them so i did it by feel. When i got under my truck i removed the drive shaft and there was noticeable in/out play in the pinion flange. So i...

    Pinion noise?

    What i should've done was measure the preload before taking it apart, then get it back to that number. But since i don't' have a beam torque wrench anyways, I'll try it out by feel for now. From my research online it seems like I'm too loose so I'll go 1/4 turn at a time until it feels better...

    02 Burban, 5.3 4x4 w/ 4L60E - Surging in Over Drive

    It could be plugs/wires. Even though they're new, it's always possible you got a bad part. Also, a bad coil pack could cause this.

    Pinion noise?

    Do you know off hand what the specs are i'm trying to achieve? It's the GM 10 bolt, 3.73 gears, G80, and i believe 8.5" ring gear

    Pinion noise?

    Can i use a beam torque wrench on the pinion with everything else in the axle or would i need to disassemble everything first?

    Pinion noise?

    So over the weekend i replaced the transfercase input shaft seal and the rear pinion seal. I marked the pinion nut and my buddy counted the threads. When reassembling everything, my buddy thought i went past my mark by 1/8-1/4 turn but i thought i was still 3/4 turn short. After going for a...
