    Lifter tick and performance cam swap

    I would love to do a 6.0, but I dont think the 4L60E would love it with 3.73 gears and 33's. Also I would want to put a cam in while im doing it. Too much money for a guy living paycheck to paycheck. I could just drive it till it blows and do a bone stick 6.0 and TH400 i guess.

    Lifter tick and performance cam swap

    I have a lifter tick slowly getting worse in my '04 4.8. Looking at a Texas speed cam 2004 GMC Yukon TSP Stage 1 Low Lift Truck Camshaft (208/214, .550/.550, 112 LSA). What I'm wondering is if aftermarket cams are better than OEM for coming apart shedding metal from the lobes or whatever it it...

    Bose AMP and GM RAP bypass

    Sorry, I just saw your post a week later. Have you already done this? I would cut the wires and splice, then just leave the plugs disconnected from the amp. When I later removed my center console I discovered a subwoofer in there. I dont know how you would wire that aside from running a small...

    Odd Bose radio issues. No sound when cold. Randomly powers off for a few seconds. Occasional theftlock briefly then works fine.

    OEM look is overrated. Newer trucks have OEM touchscreens anyway. I replaced a Pioneer touchscreen with an ATOTO Android unit. I bypassed the BLOSE amp and tapped power right off the fuse box. No courtesy timer, no chime, no nothing. Now I have a HU that just works, AND has navigation.

    Looking at getting a new AGM battery from Les Schwab.

    Installed a battery disconnect and checked for parasitic draw. Only 4-5mah (not connected in photo) so it seems ok. I just have to leave the lights off when I parn it, and disconnect the battery when I leave it for 3 weeks at a time.

    Battery Suggestions

    I wonder if an alternator upgrade would help charge agm batteries? I imagine it wouldn't be plug and play anyway.

    Looking at getting a new AGM battery from Les Schwab.

    I didn't want to, but I picked up the red top 34/78. It was the only side post AGM in stock. Voltage was only 12.2v prior to hooking up. Charged it at 10a overnight and it's floating at 12.8 now. Fingers crossed its a good one.

    Noted. The Schwab AGM is definitely the same as a hand full of others though.

    Yeah, easily the same. <rolleyes> Thanks for padding your post count with nonsense though

    Looking at getting a new AGM battery from Les Schwab.

    Thanks! I wonder if Johnson Controls (Clarios) also makes the AGM batteries at Autozone and Schwabs? I've read so many negative reviews on recent Optimas I think I might go with the house brand. I cant find anything online regarding the ones sold through Schwabs, so I might just get it and post...

    Looking at getting a new AGM battery from Les Schwab.

    Again, I'm aware. My ONLY question is are the rebranded AGM batteries any better or worse than the recent Mexican Optimas? I'm really trying to be polite, but that's the only question I'm asking, and the only answer I'm asking to hear.

    Looking at getting a new AGM battery from Les Schwab.

    I'm aware they don't make they're own batteries, thanks. I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with the Grey scwab branded one vs the optima? No big audio, but I do have a cb with a 100w Amp. Engine runs when I'm doing anything.

    Looking at getting a new AGM battery from Les Schwab.

    Ive ran my battery down once before and recently left my truck sitting for 3 weeks with a leaking radiator. Now my battery doesnt hold a charge for a week. I'm short on cash so I'll be putting a battery on my account at Les Schwab here in the PNW. Is anyone familiar with the Les Schwab branded...

    Rear HVAC broken blend door

    Today I pulled the interior trim to swap the blend door motors on my rear HVAC in my '04 Yukon. Ive found that in addition to the motor not working, the temp blend door is actually broken and dangling in the housing. Does anyone have a part number, link, or anything else to help me fix this? I...

    4WD Tahoe LT Question

    Check transfer case fluid often. Careful with the drain and fill plug, they are aluminum and very soft. Pull the fill plug first, if you drain it and cant pull the fill plug you're screwed.
