https://www.puredrivetrainsolutions.com/chevy/p/8l90-transmission-upgrade Are there any other 8l90 rebuilt transmissions and converters that are recommended for “off-roading”? Over landing really. My prerunner has an 8l45 so that will event need something done to it as well. That trans was...- Fifty

2019 Tahoe Torque Converter Replacement
Yea. Sadly no one wants to deal with the serial numbers of the parts (I’m super tired, I can’t remember the parts name) that has to be updated in the tcm or what ever it is with the trans swap. I’ve even contacted some of the rebuilt trans companies that do up rated transmissions, asking them...- Fifty

2019 Tahoe Torque Converter Replacement
@NickTransmissions I’ve been trying to find a trans shop that is familiar with the 8l90 for about 2 years. I’m in the east bay area of California No one. SoCal yes, but that’s a 14 hour drive each way. Can anyone recommend a shop in the Bay Area? My 2015i has a 2nd gear flare when it’s...- Fifty

Adding front bump stops?
Ok. Sorry for the delay. I cut an inch out of the timbren mount. Hoping that would be enough to work, and it would give me more data. Yea. Still terrible. And the sway bar, even with the their extension parts hit really bad . So I reached out to Perry’s bumps to see if they could sell me a...- Fifty

If you measure from the center of the wheel to the fenderwell; it eliminates the different tire options.- Fifty

Sway bar link broke… dang it.
I ended up ordering the Dorman “RD” links. At the end of the day they are inexpensive and should have the more durable poly bushings. I also ordered the ac delco gold sway bushings. All the available sway bar links I could find like the cognito or even Camburg were all for the 2500 trucks...- Fifty

Hawk hps 5.0 inbound
Wife said it was 6k miles. But I’m going to say 10k. I got the pads in finally and a day to swap them and flush the brake fluid. Calipers, springs, pistons, slider pins… etc are all in good shape. Those LTS pads must have been faulty. The fronts had about 2mm pad material left, rears had...- Fifty

Mid travel or long travel Yukon Xl?
In my opinion shock tuning is an art. You don’t see many fabricators that can tune and rarely do they higher a tuner to spec out a shock. They usually just call king fox icon etc and say “I have this vehicle and it’s this arm ratio” and the shock company will put a generic valve stack to handle...- Fifty

Mid travel or long travel Yukon Xl?
Ok. This may have been covered already but it’s too important of it hasn’t. The cst kit is a mall crawler type set up. Do not go that route if you plan on doing anything but a slow roll down a grated fire road. It uses shock spacers and sub frame and control arm mount drops. So at the end of...- Fifty

1" or 1.5" Front Level 2017 Yukon Denali
At the end of the day, you should put the coilover spring in spring compressor before you adjust the collar. There is just too much preload on the springs to adjust. My 2015 had one side that the arms/knuckle drooped enough for shock installs, and the other side does not. Its a pita. A friends...- Fifty

Adding front bump stops?
Ok. So I got everything back on and tried the timbren bumps. The bumps are huge and where they contact the lower control arm, it’s skinny. The other problem is the bumps contact the arm at ride height, and that’s even with the coilovers having lifted the front an 1 or so over stock. Ride...- Fifty

I put ZR2 shocks on my Yukon - need advice
If you articulate much off-road or even on road, don’t use the zr2 multimatics on the rear. The shock shafts are thin and the main seal head is weak. They easily bend shafts and even if they don’t permanent disform, they leak from the seal head when bending and wear heavily from bending. There...- Fifty
