    Borgeson Steering Gear

    Well it took awhile to get 'round to it" but finally had the Borgeson steering gear and steering shaft installed. Installation was a bolt up. No problems at all. The steering no longer has any play whatsoever, BUT the steering effort has increased at least 3 fold. While I did not measure...

    Borgeson Steering Gear

    According to their tech support the close ratio title only applies to some other vehicle, not the Yukon so the 3 turns lock to lock remains the same. I also ordered the U-joint steering shaft to go with the new steering gear which eliminates the rag connector. Stu

    Opinion on best spring/shock options ?

    Bilstein go a long way to control the float. I have them on my 99 Yukon and I couldn't imagine the truck without them. Stu

    1999 Brakes

    When I bought my 99 Tahoe, it came with a complete maintenance file that show'd a fresh set of Akibono brake pads installed 5K miles before I bought it. OK, I thought the brakes were OK, not the greatest, but OK. I'm a retired Mercedes mechanic (30 years) so I knew the brakes wouldn't be up to...
