    Mirrors

    Dumb question. Can the mirrors remain folded in without being harmed? I haven't thinned/culled the herd(fleet) since acquiring the Tahoe, and swapped out the Cherokee in the storage unit and inserted the Tahoe. The Jeep fits easily. Tahoe, tight squeeze and the mirrors required folding in to...

    U-Joint Recommendation

    I'd bet money mine in my 81 c20 are factory originals.

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    I'll be doing mine soon, along with the filter, and gasket.

    Front end refresh project

    Yeah, you're just trying to free the stuck snap ring pieces. Once one is freed and removed, the other one will almost remove itself.

    The idea of using the tool to press the ujoint away from the broken snap ring was to relieve some pressure, break the rust bond, etc. If anything, let the penetrant sit in the area to creep in.

    2008 Chevrolet Suburban discontinued hoses

    Might have to just replace the rubber portions with appropriate type of hose and connections

    Besides heat, perhaps use a smaller diameter cup/socket and press that side away from the broken snap ring.

    2005 Tahoe 4x4 ZW7 G65 Shocks

    Saw the bilsteins last night after all my research, I am not changing the springs. But, if I get a wild hair up my butt and decide to replace the entire suspension to be like Z71, then I may go bilsteins, but most likely kyb monomax. Since I don't see any stock to Z71 swapping in the future...

    2005 Tahoe 4x4 ZW7 G65 Shocks

    I don't plan on changing the springs. I'll check the shocks like you mentioned.

    2005 Tahoe 4x4 ZW7 G65 Shocks

    I need to replace some items under the vehicle such as brakes, suspension, and that includes shocks. Vehicle doesn't ride horribly, but it seems like it could use an upgrade. Was going to buy KYB Monomax, as they really improved the ride and handling on my '81 C20. Did a little more...

    Exhaust Manifold Bolts

    Yep, I've heard the same thing. Heat it up gutenhot! and melt the wax/crayon on the threads and let it wick

    I've heard it's very effective. Trick is to get it hot, apply the wax and let it wick into the threads, and a crayon is what I've heard is the easiest because it's already small diameter and can get into tight areas

    Exhaust Manifold Bolts

    I've read that using wax frees up stuck fasteners better than anything. Heat it up, let the wax wick into the threads, and comes out easily. Haven't had to try the method, but will if I run into that situation.
