    Shocks/struts in the cold!!!!

    Looking like I’m going to switching over to the rancho’s for the back. I like the option of adjustability. My current set up is just too Stiff in the winter months. Feels like I’m riding on bricks. Even aired the tires down to try and get a little softer run but that didn’t do much to it. Made...

    Shocks/struts in the cold!!!!

    I’ll do some reading on the rancho’s and see. How they work out. This is my first set of shocks I’ve swapped in such cold and I am completely blown away at how harsh the ride is. I’m up in Alaska, by the ocean though so I do deal with some salt.

    Shocks/struts in the cold!!!!

    So I need help looking for a good strut combination for the rear. I decided to post in this specific forum because it does have a 2inch level/lift under it currently. It can get to -50° ambient where the Yukon is, it typically stays right around -20° though. I put some bilsteins in the front...

    Sad front differential??

    Man so sorry for the super late response! You can do a service on the transfer case and the diffs. The front differential has a drain plug just drain it and then fill get the spec fluid required for your vehicle. The rear diff, at least on the three GM trucks/SUV’s I’ve owned of these models...

    Sad front differential??

    Swapped the front and rear ends out and it runs like a dream. Safe to say the front end was going. Kept the unit to be able to tear into and see what exactly happened. But as far as my 4WD goes it’s working perfect!

    Sad front differential??

    Yeah unfortunately I won’t be able to do that. I changed the front and rear units out. Pulling it out of the shop today to see how it rides.

    Sad front differential??

    What’s going on everyone! I’ve been away for a while but I was doing 14 hour days 7 days a week since June! So to give an update on the Yukon. I climbed under the SUV and played with the front yolk to see what it felt like. Turning wise it didn’t seem terrible it had a little bit of a noise to...

    Sad front differential??

    Was just working through the possibility of tires. Was ruling out the ability of balancing tires is all! I could give it a wear pattern check for sure. Never hurts to run with an idea.

    Sad front differential??

    Well I was planning on getting back under the Yukon today but seems I’ve been called back into the office. Which means ill Probably be a few days out until I get back under the rig. Still wanting to get this sorted before fall/winter. Which means I will still be very active on this thread. I...

    Sad front differential??

    Never threw an ABS sensor. When I initially bought the vehicle I had an ABS light on. That was do to a cut or broken wire at the wheel hub sensor on the drivers side. The bolts for the brake line/Abs wiring were missing and so the brackets were loosed which I figured was due to someone at...

    Sad front differential??

    My tires need replaced, I wouldn’t say they’re “trash” but they could Be replaced for sure. Where I am there is no balancing machine so I couldn’t tell you if they’re out of balance but what I can tell you is there is no speed limit on the roads that do exist that is above 40MPH and with the...

    Sad front differential??

    I’ll definitely be getting it back up in the air and disconnecting the drive shaft to spin the pinion. Ill report back once I get it done. Maybe I’ll be able to get to it tomorrow but it’s looking like more of a Monday project. I replaced all the U joints about 6-8 months ago. There’s always a...

    Sad front differential??

    There’s probably some junk rigs out at the city pit I might be able to Score a front diff to swap for now I’ll have to go and see. I was wanting to re-gear for lower gears since im running bigger tires with a little old 4.8 and a leveling kit (that’s how I bought it) so maybe this is just the...

    Sad front differential??

    I haven’t even engaged it into 4LO I’ve only ran it 4HI and AUTO. In fact while on a test drive my brother was riding shotgun and I made that comment on how I didn’t even know if it worked. The dragging feel is strong enough I didn’t want to cause anymore damage by dropping the gearbox into...
