    Howdy from Dallas TX

    I have the Hellwig sway bar kits, front and rear and love them. Pics of install in my Build Thread. I want to be sure I understand this wobble. The sway bars may help. You did not say if the problem was there before or after suspension work. Also, you did say this happens only when trailer is...

    Howdy from Dallas TX

    Welcome to the forum, from Oregon. Was the "wobbling" there before or after the suspension rebuild? What do you mean, when you say "wobble"? In the steering wheel? Seat of pants? Both? Etc.... At any speed?

    Scan tool needed for suspension

    I bought this Foxwell NT710 when I thought I would only need a live data bi-directional scanner for my 2 GM vehicles. Then I got deeper in the driveway work and was working on numerous manufacturers vehicles and bought an Autel MK808S and I am happy with it. I am curious about the Top Don...

    I have decided to put tools for sale ads up at CL and FB

    Yea, it sucks, but Linda wants to do some traveling and if I go before her, I don't want her to have to deal with the sale. I have to be realistic. X-rays and MRI have shown a curved spine and two worn discs. Ultra sound has shown some blood flow problems in my legs that meds is taking care of...

    Spark plugs

    Bear in mind, in the future, changing plugs and wires are just like oil changes, transmission services, filters, power steering fluid changes, cooling system services, transfer case and differentials fluids services, brake fluid service and pads replacement, belts and hoses replacements, wipers...

    I have decided to put tools for sale ads up at CL and FB

    Who knows. I could still own them and use them for a year or two more before someone actually buys them. I have already had multiple contacts with "prospective buyers" that CANNOT READ. Common questions: "How much for just the boxes"? "How much for the floor jacks"? "How much for just the...

    I have decided to put tools for sale ads up at CL and FB

    I am getting older by the day, my inguinal hernia gives me fits at times and I have to take breaks more often when doing these jobs. I also want to start taking more trips with my girl and eventually.....I hate to say this.....I will be stopping most work except for simple oil changes and just...

    Scan tool needed for suspension

    The Foxwell NT710 is a manufacturer specific scanner. I ordered mine for my GM vehicles. I believe you can pay for and add other manufacturers too.

    Just bought (now fixing!) 2021 Yukon XL Denali

    Welcome to the forum from Oregon. I own Foxwell and Autel scanners but I don't know what your "bang for my buck" limit is. Also, pics of the wife's new ride, or it didn't happen.

    Tie Rod End Question

    At that point, I would have thought a C-Clamp would bind it enough. If it didn't work with a C-Clamp, then there was not enough clamping force or the tie rod threads were boogered up pretty bad.

    Tie Rod End Question

    You likely scuffed the threads in that area, where the nut tightens to. You can disassemble and drop the tie rod threads out and look. You can clean the threads up with a correct thread file or a correct thread die. Or you can reinstall and because the bottom of that threaded area is tapered...

    Wife surprised me with some swaybars for Christmas

    Yea, I don't have a shop compressor any more. I use nothing but Milwaukee Tools but I do have a 5 gallon compressor that I use to blow out/clean off areas that I will be taking apart and don't want debris falling in holes. The 5 gallon compressor is good enough for air tools for a short burst of...

    Spark plugs

    I knew this was going to happen. I mentioned the wires because, IMO, they take more abuse than the plugs. They are exposed to all the elements and the constant hot/cold under the hood. They are also 10 years old. I did recommend them, only if thinking about it and do the plugs while in there but...

    Spark plugs

    Because of age only on the wires, I would replace them. While they are off, do the plugs too, but that is me.

    2004 6.0 NV4500 Tahoe

    I gotta say that the most fun I ever had with the K5 Blazer, better known as BRUTUS, was the mud runs in Mo. and in Oregon. The other stuff was challenging and to do some of it as a FULL SIZE rig, surprised other people and my self but the mud runs, wins the FUN AWARD, hands down!

    2004 6.0 NV4500 Tahoe

    A winch you can move to either end, s*n*a*t*c*h blocks and fiber line are a set up that is hard to beat. I had all that and then some when I was off roading, trail riding and rock crawling with my 73 K5 Blazer. Been thru Rubicon, Moab, Potato salad Hill and numerous other mud bogs and places...

    Updated Gas vs Diesel Engine and Resale Value?

    You got a whole year to watch the markets and the fuel prices and then figure it out. A GMT800, with a V8 Duramax is the better option.
