    Lowering kit delete 05 yukon

    My mind is blown. Sure enough RockAuto has lower control arms for coil spring front suspension in an 04 Sierra. Never seen a gmt800 with coils. Very neat.

    DOD Delete Theory

    Please link - lot of folks have been through this thread already that have obviously never seen it, myself included.

    First Overland / Camping Trip HUGE Success!

    We do a fair amount of wheeling. The Land Rover gets used for the more hard core stuff, but if we're camping also then the Tahoe is 100% the way to go. Nice to just drive it places as well. The Rover gets trailered any more.

    DOD Delete Theory

    Oh, duh. I was thinking it only shut down the intake valves for some reason. Long time since I had a DOD motor open.

    Only 4 custom length push rods, right? Because only 4 cylinders shut down until you get into the LT motors.

    Why is it so impossible to get a gas tank

    Look into bulkhead fittings. May need a tube or a check valve on the inside to keep fuel from coming out, but I'd be willing to bed you could plastic weld the old fitting shut and put a bulkhead fitting back beside it. Doubt either mechanic is willing to do that - that would be an at home job...

    OP, I am excited for the outcome on this. I'm with you - I don't see why it wouldn't work. Lots of folks seem concerned about the ticking lifter having caused damage to the cam, but I doubt that would be the case. Lots of hydraulic lifters out there with ticks that are not wiping their cams...

    Headers on 2001 2500

    The 1500 Silverado headers will fit the 2500 Suburban chassis. There are just too many options for them to list all of them in their listing.

    catalytic function not clearing (should I do more parts cannon)

    Just a PSA to everyone reading - do NOT use eBay injectors even if they are labeled AC Delco and come in the Delco box. Chinese fakes in Delco boxes cost me a motor last year. Stuck open and hydraulic'd the motor on restart, bent a rod.

    4wd to 2wd

    Over the summer I did this on an off roading trip after breaking a CV on my Land Rover. I wheeled the rest of the day anyway and the hub did end up separating enough you could see a very noticable lean to the tire when I pulled it on the trailer. When I replaced the hub it has separated more...

    Suspension Uogrades: Leveling Kits vs Lift Kits

    There's nothing wrong with a leveling kit inherently as long as it's installed well. At 3", you probably want 2" shock extensions which can be had for about $20 on ebay. Did you have a front end alignment done after the 3" keys were installed? Not all alignment shops are created equal. This is...

    Partial List of Front Torsion Bars

    Pulled a set out of a 99-02 Z71 Silverado once - don't recall the number or exactly which year, may still have them. They were the same number and not marked differently for LH and RH.

    Tahoe TBSS Intake manifold swap

    You will need the TBSS fuel rails. Reuse your existing injectors, they fit fine with the TBSS intake and fuel rail Get the Corvette fuel filter to regulate the pressure. This will make your firewall clearance a bit tight for fuel lines, but it works. You'll have to bend the fuel rail inlet up...

    GMT800 Coolant hose "Y" connector

    I run green in everything just for the simplicity of only stocking one thing on the shelf. Won't hurt a thing.
