    Braking

    That's odd... The ACT834 wasn't showing up anywhere a month ago when I was looking for brakes. I looked high and low... I know it seems like operator error here but I swear, I looked, and looked, and looked. And I even mentioned it in a couple threads here that it was odd that Akebono made...

    Question about ZW7 Smooth Ride (Nivomat) shocks

    At this point I don't believe the Nivomats are even supposed to be on my XL. I started the thread because I thought maybe somebody had switched out my suspension when it was supposed to be Nivomats; I was looking to return it to the stock setup. But until I get more answers on how ZW7 and G65...

    Question about ZW7 Smooth Ride (Nivomat) shocks

    Stopped by the salvage yard today; 2 of the 3 Tahoe/Yukon models had Nivomats (no Suburbans or Yukon XLs there). Both RPO stickers for those had ZW7 & G65...

    Braking

    Do you have a RWD? What Akebono pads? I wanted Akebono ProAct pads but I found out they don't make a rear pad for 4WDs. It's not in their applications guide and I can't find it anywhere online...

    Factory Service Manuals - Anyone have them?

    I bet you're impressed! I had an issue finding some more in-depth DTC info I was looking for so I asked if I was just missing it. After he looked he said he would check other manuals. A day later he sent me a link for the 04-06 Silverado manual. 24,000 pages of very detailed info. The specific...

    2WD Z71?

    I agree ... the great recession led GM to shit the bed on just about all accounts. Quality is down, dependability is down, innovation is non-existent, concern for the customer is 100% gone. Ford had their issues 5 yrs earlier and came out of the recession strong and their product today shows...

    Emergency CV axle repair

    Not that this is really all that applicable, but my dad has a Polaris Ranger he uses heavily for his farm and construction business. Rangers are notorious for blowing CV joints. He's been running on a blown cv-joint for about 4 years now; loud clicking and popping all the time and terrible...

    Factory Service Manuals - Anyone have them?

    I already have the pdf download from ebay seller seriousctbuyer... I'm a bit overwhelmed right now. First of all, my 5 year old Win7 Pro laptop (it's actually a Dell Precision which is used to running high-demand software) struggles to open the main file, I think the size is crashing it. The...

    Factory Service Manuals - Anyone have them?

    Last time I checked, yes, I had it in my watch list but didn't know it was the legit manual. I currently have a message in to the seller to verify that it's the correct, factory manual. It sells for $25. He says it's "searchable by various systems"... seems like a heck of a deal if it's the...

    Fun in the snow

    A little info on tires... a good winter/snow tires is a softer rubber compound so it remains pliable in cold weather. That same soft compound wears out much faster, especially on dry pavement. A winter tire driven in the summer won't last long. All-terrain tires are a compromise between life and...

    Factory Service Manuals - Anyone have them?

    That site makes my skin crawl... description is very lacking... there us reference to some special software w/ a "1 year license" in fine print at the bottom, no mention of pdf files... and "we only accept paypal" (I read that as "we don't want to be subject to a credit card charge-back when you...

    2WD Z71?

    I think you're right. I recall something called "Offroad appearance pkg" for RWD vehicles

    At my wits' end with oil leaks

    If you're pulling the pan, you should probably do the problematic pick-up o-ring while in there. Cheap part, pain to replace bc you have to pull the pan, so do it while the pan is already off.

    Car sickness

    IMHO, having only the info presented in this thread, it seems more like something has changed with your daughter than something related to vehicle-changes. Did she ride with your mom and aunt before?

    Heater only works on high

    Not the fuse, odds are 90+% that it's the resistor. Be prepared if you have automatic controls (the knobs with digital temp display); the local joints want ~$70 for their brand resistor. My went out 2 months ago and I nabbed one from a scrap yard for $20. He wanted $45. I told him I could get...

    Used G80 have any value?

    $100 isn't even worth my time listing, processing payment, boxing up, and shipping... unless somebody here would have a need for one. Are you saying the guys that run the yard took them or somebody else did? I can't fathom going out and stripping carriers for $100-200 on ebay... by the time you...

    Used G80 have any value?

    I don't see how people are selling these things on ebay "Rebuilt GM G80" for $150 The rebuild kits are $200... unless they're not replacing all the parts... Some of them w/ R&P gears for $225... I have a fully functional G80 I pulled from my Yukon I thought about selling. The spider gears...

    Thinking of purchasing an older ESV.

    This! I think they also made a Yukon XL 2500. That would be the "in-between" on creature comforts. Chevy is base options GMC middle options Cadillac high-end options If you can find a loaded 2500 Yukon XL it will be very similar to the Escalade minus some of the aesthetics (fancy wood trims...

    Catch Can disappointment pics inside

    Yes, sometimes you can certainly tell that something is getting past the first can, but having a 2nd can doesn't quantify, in any way, how much is getting past the cans. And having none show up in the 2nd can is not definitive proof that nothing is getting past the first. Do you see what I'm...

    Shifts hard into drive and reverse.

    And if your U-joints are good, pull the caps off the rear joint and rotate your differential yoke... Do it rotate more than 1/8"? If so, you have worn spider gears etc in your diff. I just replaced mine and my clunk is finally gone!!!!

    Catch Can disappointment pics inside

    Adding a 2nd can is actually a terrible way to see what is getting by the 1st. Most catch cans work by a similar principle, even if the execution is slightly varied. If the process by which the byproducts are removed from the first can doesn't fulfill the job entirely then logic says a 2nd can...

    Question about ZW7 Smooth Ride (Nivomat) shocks

    The plot has yet again thickened... It occurred to me that I have only been looking at Yukon XL models, because that is what I have. Out of curiosity I plugged in a 2004 Yukon. While the 2004 Yukon XL model has Nivomats for RWD vehicles and the blue shocks for the 4WD, the 2004 Yukon has only...
