    Loose steering, I’ve searched, googled replaced front end parts and multiple steering gears

    I did that to get to the point I swapped every front end part on the truck. At 67 I don’t do as much myself as I used to. Shop not far let’s me buy my own parts and they install. I watched those guys fight swapping lower control arm bushings. I am so glad I didn’t try to do that myself. I...

    99 Tahoe rear break upgrade recommendations?

    This is always a good topic, options change over time. I would guess a lot of us have kicked around swapping rear drums for disc. My concerns are ABS and proportioning valves. Emergency brake cable too. In the case of my 2 door. I have my rear brakes working good but when it comes time to...

    Cunningham steering shaft. Thanks for the comments on EVO vs none. I gleaned from you comments deleting EVO doesn’t necessarily mean lighter steering. As far as the Cunningham steering shaft, it’s like a Jeep, no rag joint. I also wondered if a power steering pump could be running too high...

    Loose steering, I’ve searched, googled replaced front end parts and multiple steering gears

    Earlier this afternoon I called Bluetop just for grins to get their take on my issues. Talked to a really nice guy. He offered to tear my box down and find out if anything is wrong with it. In other words make a Blue Top Box out of it for same price as buying one off their website. At least...

    Loose steering, I’ve searched, googled replaced front end parts and multiple steering gears

    Yes, after I had everything replaced I had Alignment and Brakes in Houston alignment the front end. They are supposed to be the best on this side of Houston.

    Loose steering, I’ve searched, googled replaced front end parts and multiple steering gears

    I’ve searched this site and several more over the years. Along with Facebook groups, Google etc trying to fix my steering on my 97 2 door Z71 with 4 inch lift. I’m not above missing something along the way either. I’ve had this truck for a long time, my guess 15 years. I’d guess I’ve put 15k...

    CV Axle for 97 2dr, does it have ABS ring

    Just found another YouTube vid I hadn’t seen before. Lost track of how many videos I’ve watched trying to figure this out. In this last one found, said if your sensor is in the wheel bearing you knock the ring off. They even knocked off the ABS ring in the video. I think I have this figured...

    CV Axle for 97 2dr, does it have ABS ring

    I kinda figured if I had rings and could get them off without to much damage I could reuse. I did quite a few Google searches and YouTube also. Watched a couple of videos of rings being cut off. I could never find anything vehicle specific. I need to hit you tube again on CV axle replacement...

    CV Axle for 97 2dr, does it have ABS ring

    None of the searches I did came up with anything on ABS ring for 97 Tahoe. So thought I would post a question. I need to replace CV Axles on my 97 2dr, 5.7 gas, along other worn front end parts. I want to get all parts ahead of time from Rock Auto before I tear it down. My truck has ABS...

    Paint for interior panels GM paint Code 13 D

    I would have thought my searches here on the site and google would have turned up a Duplicolor or SEM part number or paint color name etc. that would match 13D. I think GM called it Slate grey but I could be wrong. I have an email into Duplicolor but have not heard back. I read in one of my...

    After 7 long months I just got my Tahoe back from the paint shop

    Your truck came out really good. Looks really good, my guess base coat/clear coat. I need to get my 97 2 door in the shop. I’m going to do paint, seats, carpet and headliner. Trying to figure out where to take it. It’s currently Matte Black, but single stage matte doesn’t last forever.
