    Trakmotive 8033xtt extended travel CVs

    How was the install? I ordered a set for my 06 yukon. They came in today. Got the old one out on the passenger side (needed to be replaced) and started to get the new one in but ran out of daylight and had to get the kids fed and ready for bed anyway. What little bit I did with the new one...

    2nd Row Easy Entry/Exit Broken

    So, I just swapped out my 2nd row buckets for a bench. Problem is, the easy entry/exit feature located on the passenger side seat is broken. Seat won't slide forward like it should. I looked and there's a little black plastic piece that is broken. Went to see if I could cannibalize the part from...

    Nice! Looks like the same tails, too. What would the wheels look like without the cladding? Were you planning on painting them or something? I've actually got 2 sets, one in rougher shape than the other, and I'm not opposed to playing around with the one set.

    I looked into it. We were told that because of where the cracks were that they weren't repairable

    Yep. I believe these originally came off a newer Sierra. I miss my original 20s (cracked 2 of them avoiding getting hit) and I'll probably find 2 more and go back to that look. I do like these a lot too though.

    It needs a really good detailing, but here it is as it sits today.

    A dirty imprint from some random heavy part. The dirt/grease is gone, but the impression is still there. I'm gonna have child car seats making impressions of their own, so I'm okay with it. Lol.

    Thanks for the warm welcome back. I got some time up clean the seats up a bit today. There's a couple small tears I'm gonna repair, and they could still use a bit more cleaning, but overall I'm pleased with how well they cleaned up. Sad thing is, they looked pretty pristine when the salvage yard...

    Been awhile since I've updated this thread. I've been doing little things here and there. But my latest find has me excited! Just picked up a second row bench from another xl Denali. Matching 2 tone pewter/gray leather plus heated seats. I've been looking to swap my captains for a bench since I...

    Another Z55 delete question

    Okay, on my 06 YDXL, I've swapped the front and rear shocks for Bilstein 5100s. I've wired in resistors for all 4 shocks. I've pulled the RTD fuse. Do I need a resistor for the compressor? Need to do anything else?

    2001 Tahoe not shifting to 3rd

    Needs a transmission rebuild. Just went through the same thing with mine. Losing 3rd gear is a common problem with these transmissions once they get older.

    The keys are just about as low as they can go. I plan to crank them down a few more turns tomorrow. That'll likely have at least one of them sitting on the adjustment bar. Beyond that, my only option is to go back to stock (green) keys and crank them up. I'll decide that after I get the back...

    Adjusted the camber today. Driver side needs some more work (ran out of daylight plus hungry kids), but it's better than it was. And the passenger side is just about spot on. Makes a huge difference in how she tracks. Still trying to figure out why 3" lift keys gave me 4"+ of lift. I'll keep...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    What do the angles of your CV axles look like? Just installed ebay "Ford" keys on my 06 XL Denali with Bilstein 5100 shocks, and the front is sitting at 40"!!! Haven't done the back suspension yet, but I'm worried about my CV axles. Don't have much room to crank the keys down. Saw in another...

    Installed keys and front shocks on XL Denali

    Put some 5100 Bilsteins in the front the other day. Got some Ford keys put on yesterday. Sitting at 40" in the front - thinking I'm gonna crank it down an inch later today or tomorrow. Hoping to get longer end links on in the next few days and get the rear done by this weekend (Moog HD springs...
