    Hinge pins.......and more

    I'm not sure about the ones for the GMT400s but the ones from CM for my GMT900 has the bolt at the top and a splined section at the bottom that is supposed to be drawn up into the lower portion of the hinge. However, the splined section on the pin seemed to be to small and didn't actually grab...

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    It isn't strut ready, it is air bag ready. The stock air bags from the Trailblazer SS twist and lock into place. You can run them stand alone with a Shrader valve, kind of like the old school air shocks, or you can hook them up to the factory auto leveling compressor with little effort. The...

    Alright… which one of ya’ll hooligans did this one

    The guy that rebuilt my transmission said he loves those guys because they keep him in business. Not to mention the fact that all the oil that gets pumped up into the head, instead of running straight down through the several drain holes in the head, accumulates at the rear of the head where it...

    Hinge pins.......and more

    I just replaced my roller pins on my 2008 Suburban with the ones from Cunningham Machine. The tool is practically useless for getting them out or in because there simply isn't enough room to get the tool in there, at least on the GMT900 platform. I did use the tool after the spring was out to...

    Kbuskill's 2008 Burb LTZ "MOD" Thread

    Pulled and replaced rear axle seals, bearings and reluctor/ABS rings, and parking brake shoes on the Burb as preventative maintenance. Also adjusted the parking brake shoes which made a world of difference in how it holds. I kept having an intermittent ABS light that pops up when taking a turn...

    You must be Juitree's factory rep or something... lol Why don't you see about getting us a big discount on these so we can all play with them?

    Anybody lower a 4WD?

    I mean, if you are going to complain about them, I guess i could take them off your hands. I don't want you being uncomfortable whilst driving your truck.

    Where did you get the fittings? Perhaps, they gave you the wrong size ferrules.

    Recharge A/C procedure

    That sucks that you are still having issues. I know there is a kit out there that replaces the entire length of tubing from front to rear and it comes in like 3 different sections, presumably to make it cheaper/easier to ship and easier to install. My main concern would be the fact that you...

    Kbuskill's 2008 Burb LTZ "MOD" Thread

    They let you keep them. As mentioned, I gave the last one.to my brother but he hasn't had time to see about getting it repaired. The last one was leaking from a crack in the welds. This one is leaking where the tubes meet the end tanks.

    I always liked the foot operated high beams. I have considered adding one to the Burb and hooking it up to my light bar or something.

    SOLVED: extremely high pitched, intermittent, electronic sound

    I didn't watch the video, but yes, the plugs/connectors that plug into the back of the RSE (rear seat entertainment). I originally opened the RSE up to see if there were any bad solder joints but didn't find any so I cleaned the pins and connectors and that took care of the whine. There are a...

    I personally don't think that pre spraying the windshield is going to make a big difference long term, but it certainly isn't going to hurt anything. I like to tinker and re-engineer things as well. If I didn't think I would ever get another rock chip or broken windshield I would probably be...

    Recharge A/C procedure

    Just saw this, and assume you already figured it out but, if you remove that nut in between the two metal lines where it bolts to the expansion valve you will find O-rings on both of the pipes that are replaceable. Hopefully your new plan works out and you have better luck. It sucks chasing...

    Kbuskill's 2008 Burb LTZ "MOD" Thread

    I'm not even sure if there are any radiator shops around here anymore. It being all aluminum, I'm not sure if it could be brazed/sweated like an old Brass radiator or not. I should probably do some research since that is the only issue with it and I don't have to return the old one. The last...

    Recharge A/C procedure

    Hard to say, depends on how accurate your gauges are. As long as the vacuum holds for a while after the pump is off you should be good. I have seen where you can have a leak under pressure but not under vacuum but that is pretty rare. Some people will charge with something like nitrogen and...

    Recharge A/C procedure

    Sounds like you have it pretty well figured out. I usually pull a vacuum for at least 30 mins and then close the valves on the manifold and shut off the vacuum pump and then let it sit for about another 30 mins and make sure it is still holding the vacuum afterwards. If all checks out you can...

    Kbuskill's 2008 Burb LTZ "MOD" Thread

    I am getting ready to replace my Cold Case Radiator for the second time under warranty. This will be the 3rd Radiator since installing the original back in Jan. 2021. The first one ended up getting a crack in some of the welds and leaked from there. This one appears to be leaking from where...

    Bi-LED Headlight Retrofit

    Your results have me itching to pull my Morimoto Bi-Xenon projectors out of my Burb and replace them with some Bi-LED projectors. I have mixed feelings on these because if the LED goes out it requires opening the headlight to replace the whole projector, as opposed to just swapping in a new...

    Kbuskill's 2008 Burb LTZ "MOD" Thread

    I have seen these before, they are pretty cool. I was just curious if the newer trucks actually had the Chevrolet font from the factory or if this was something aftermarket that the owner of that Burb in the JY had installed.

    Kbuskill's 2008 Burb LTZ "MOD" Thread

    Found these front sill plates at the JY the other day in a 2011 Suburban. I'm not sure if these came like this in 2011 but they didn't come with the CHEVROLET font on my 2008. Oddly enough the rears were the same as my originals. Cleaned them and swapped them in... Old one laying on top of...
