    Oil filter seized, destroyed

    never had one that bad before. I would never stick a screw driver through the case as that will certainly rip it. Maybe apply alittle anti seize on the filter threads when putting it on?

    I forgot what a PITA it is to drop the transmission pan NEED HELP w 2 Manifold Nuts

    I've heard that you can get the pan off without removing the exhaust. I was going to do a trans filter, plan and fluid swap this summer. I just picked up a 2011 Suburban 4wd with the 6L80e. I've had the dorman pan (with drain plug) new filter and 12qts of Maxlife waiting. I def don't want to...

    Differential damage due to tire tread?

    Agreed, they used it to sell you a tire but ideally they wanted you to get two. Couple of things: - Tire size means nothing... overall actual tire size for the same "labeled tire size" are different from one manufacture to the next. This is why they do not recommend mismatching tire brands but...

    Accept Buy-Back or Not

    I have a friend who is dealing with a similar issue with the Honda EV Prologue, buyback/lemon is through corporate and not the dealer. He's been back 4+ times and over 31 days loss of use for issues with the infotainment locking up or going black and some axle issues. They offered him a deal to...

    16" PPV brakes and aftermarket wheels clearance?

    I ended up swapping to 15mm spacers and adding Dorman Extended studs. I still would like to know what offset for a 22" wheel as the goal is to go larger with no spacers in the future. Looking to swap these off once the tires are worn down.

    Installing "2021 PPV" style 6-Piston Brembo Front Brakes on a 2007 Yukon Denali

    Just an FYI I swapped out the stock wheel studs for longer Dorman 610-530. Reason is I was running 12mm spacers and extended lugs but wanted more than 1/16" clearance from the front wheel and caliper. I would like to eventually get some 22s with no spacers but these wheels are brand new and have...

    Rear Mounted turbo - 2014 GMC Yukon XL (5.3L)

    It's easier than you think. I would opt for a T4, something in the 65mm range on the compressor and a 65-70mm exhaust. You could prob get away with a smaller one but the ebay cheap turbos are usually odd sized with small exhaust housings. Then you just run 2.5" aluminum pipe up to the MAF/TB...

    16" PPV brakes and aftermarket wheels clearance?

    Just picked up a 2011 Suburban LTZ and it had new OE aftermarket wheels installed and new tires. I swapped brakes on my 2011 with the GMPP 16" Brembo upgrade... same as the PPV. I had to use 12mm spacers to have my OEM style wheel clear the caliper and by like 1/16". I picked up some 15mm...

    Looking for opinions on Head Unit.

    Agreed, BOSS would not be my first choice but other brands are way outa the average persons price range. $1000+ for a headunit its nuts. BOSS does offer 5 yr warranty which you won't get with an android unit. Crutchfield will ship out a new unit in 5 years no questions asked. Android units offer...

    2007 Tahoe LTZ 5.3 4x4 Whipple or Magnuson

    Can't comment on these trucks but I have run both centri and turbos on 5.3s in my other swapped cars. A 300k mile 5.3 is perfect for forced induction as long as it has enough oil pressure and isn't burning oil. If your pulling the heads then do lifters and trays for sure, if your pulling the cam...

    Brake Upgrades?

    Did you test to see if your wheels will clear? I just did PPV front brakes on my 2011 Sub LTZ and I had to put 12mm spacers just to barely clear the front calipers. I didn't do anything with the rears yet but generally 70% of the braking is done with the front so I wouldn't think you would need...

    Looking for opinions on Head Unit.

    What mount did you do with? yours looks pretty close to the bezel.

    Looking for opinions on Head Unit.

    $475 and you paid more than my BOSS 10.1". I think the android doesn't play nice with the BOSE sound system with the stock amp. The Androids put out High Level Audio through the speaker connections to the stock wiring and supposedly the stock HU puts out low level signal to the amp. This means...

    2011 Suburban exhaust options? Silverado Exhaust?

    Just picked up a 129k suburban, the dealer I purchased from decided a "fix" to a stock flex pipe exterior braid failing (not leaking) was to cut it all off and cut the after 3rd CAT Ball socket flange off and weld a flexpipe directly to the cat and into the stock muffler with a new flex pipe and...

    Need a Quieter Muffler for Headers

    JBA muffler, I have run two of there catbacks on Rams which drone bad without the stock muffler. Only muffler that is no drone, 304 stainless 3" in and out center but still has a nice tone to it. Inside it takes the 3" and splits it into two (surrounded by sound absorption) and then brings it...
