    Which is a good fuel pump for a 97 yukon?

    Yep, this thing, it's good insurance. And I know it's too late now, but it's good to have an empty tank because that thing is HEAVY.

    95 tahoe 4x4

    You would need a way to disconnect all 4 wheels from the drivetrain, or else you might cause damage. Although I never understood how that could cause damage...

    Debating a change...(lump in throat)

    Its not a question of how much you're going to get for the truck, but a question of finding the right buyer. One of us would give you quite a bit more for a good 2dr than the average joe thats just looking for a cheap truck. But I agree with sunlit, why not get an OBS 3/4 tonner? You get extra...

    Random hard shifting

    I believe you're correct. Once the valve body starts to get a little leaky, the transmission develops that trademark 1-2 bump. I drove mine like that for 35k before i had it rebuilt for an unrelated issue. I'm not sure what the fix is though....

    Brake booster up grade

    I'm not too versed on the subject, but there's not much you can do there, unless you switch to the hydroboost system. Maybe somebody else will chime in.

    So what do you guys think of this?

    Theres always the possibility of you missing that one damn part that's impossible to find as a separate piece, I would be a no go on that.

    Wheel Bearing going bad? Lots of grinding noises

    the noise change with suspension movement? Find a wide, empty road and try werving at around 10-15mph. If the noise goes away, then its probably your front wheel bearings. The ABS light is a good indication of that too. It could also be your rear pinion carrier bearing. Happened to mine a few...

    Bad Bearings :(

    Seems pretty logical. Thats a ton of work to repair though...

    Bad Bearings :(

    ^ holy crap! Well hey, at least the crank didnt cause too much damage to the block in that situation. I would love to have an old school 'burban... Would this be a bad thing? its got about 1/4"

    Bad Bearings :(

    I guess it's just one of those weird situations... Only 135k on the motor, decently taken care of... Just a freak breakdown I guess.

    Bad Bearings :(

    Yeah, Its got about 1/4" of movement up and down if I pull on the gear. Is that no bueno?

    Bad Bearings :(

    Alright, so I took some good pictures of the bad distributor gear today. And to answer Phone man's question: No, it was not a Chinese one, it was the original distributor that came with the truck. Heres the carnage: DSC04581 by CenzoBear, on Flickr DSC04582 by CenzoBear, on Flickr DSC04583...

    Bad Bearings :(

    My question is this though, how can you tell all that from only removing the distributor? I've checked the truck, and nothing else was even touched. Not even the oil pan! Not to mention the mechanic didn't even change the oil for me (which he knew had bits of dist. gear in it, and most likely...

    Bad Bearings :(

    The bottom end is great (knock on wood)! No knocks, taps, oil pressure still at 20lbs at idle... Thats why I'm so confused. Pictures to come when I get home tonight.

    Bad Bearings :(

    The other day I was taking a drive from Chicago to South Haven when I heard a loud bang, lost all power, and all oil pressure. Freaking out in terror, I put it in neutral (to avoid any more damage), and pulled off to the side of the road while i still had some vacuum in my brakes left. Well I...

    Upgrading Exhaust

    You could look into Borla and Gibson exhausts too. Not too many people know about them, but they're really nice as well. I personally think the bola's sound really good.

    whats the problem??Sputtering, rough idle, changed fuel filter/pump...

    The flares and window visors on mine are all OEM stuff. The fender flares I believe also came on the Z71 package, but I know for a fact that they're ridiculously hard to find. There aren't any places that steadily sell them unfortunately... (or any that I know of at least) I know LMC had some...

    what cam works best with a 5.7l vortec?

    Bottom line (and painfully simple); These motors can't take too much of a cam, or anything for that matter, without needing some very expensive conversions. Ex: the marine intake. Ive seen guys using the LT4 (i think) hot cam, and the RV cam with decent results and not too expensive. But...

    whats the problem??Sputtering, rough idle, changed fuel filter/pump...

    They do look similar. I believe your wheels are chrome though. Mine are some crazy bare aluminum finish.(came with the ducks unlimited conversion package) I like the chrome much more though. And new plugs, wires, cap, and rotor are a good start. Your problems may very well go away once you...

    What's my next step?

    I would say upgrade the injectors if you haven't yet and get a blackbear tune. Gears will cost in the neighborhood of $1k, I would only get them professionally installed. What ratio do ypou have right now? Gears aren't really needed until you start running heavier rubber, I would wait until the...

    Finally done!!

    If I had a black truck I just might've thought about copying your look. I really like it :mexsmoke:

    Vacuum line help

    Yep, that actually vents fumes from the gas tank back into the manifold to cut down on unused emissions. They've been known to be very finicky, so I wouldn't play with it. Very costly to replace too...
