    Mechanic info check, rear suspension shot

    Well, I took your suggestion, and gave a truck/spring shop a call. They said replacing them is cheaper than rebuilding them. They wanted about 400ish per spring. I can get the pair on wrong auto for 460ish plus a hundred in shipping. I'm thinking of putting a for sale sign in the window.

    Got a steering wobble??? Check you dampener!!

    So, it's been awhile since I've posted here, and this one made me LOL. Since the day I owned the suburban 2500, I've had a steering shake. Thrown countless dollars, and effort at the problem, never having a resolution. Well recently I switched mechanics. He and I were having a discussion about...

    Mechanic info check, rear suspension shot

    Hey all, so I'm trying to get by another 6-8 months on the 2500. I had a clunking in the rear end and took it to my [relatively new to me] mechanic. I'd like to get your opinion on this and a break down of what he said. "You need both rear leaf spring assemblies. All the spacers are gone, and...

    Hey ya'll, been awhile...here's what's I got;

    That's kinda the info I was looking for. I never knew that model existed, nor the specific years, so that sounds spot on. I'd love to do a fly and drive from a salt free state too....

    Hey ya'll, been awhile...here's what's I got;

    I'm 99.9999% 2wd, but I do like the 4wd in the snowy winter. That said I only use it when it's really bad, and when I get to less bad roads I just click back in to 2wd.

    Hey ya'll, been awhile...here's what's I got;

    Hey all, so I've been driving my 2500 now for 4 years. I have put the better part of 80k on it, and probably spent about the same.. :doh2: Anyhow, it is starting to disintegrate and is generally a pile of shit at this point. The thing is, it's never left me stranded, and provided i dont leave...

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

    NOPE! Hence my use of the word 'supposedly.' I was hoping that someone would either support or debunk it, if only for my own curiosity.

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

    The guy that rebuilt my trans told me if ever I am in a situation such as you described, to do the reverse in 4WD. That, supposedly, will take the brunt of force and put it on the transfer case, instead of the trans. It made sense at the time, but then I started pricing out transfer cases for...

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

    Been awhile since I posted anything on this thread. Been in a 'spending money on the burb' trend lately. I think between a variety of services things are kind of getting worked out, so I'll likely keep driving it until the body disintegrates or I sell it. Got new tires on it a few weeks back...

    Sigh. The stealership strikes again

    Yep. And I actually have a lot of these parts already on hand to move forward. So I'll take it to the mechanic and say "go." It'll be like a grand or whatever, but it wont be 4 grand. I dont mind paying for good work....but a grand to bolt on a 150 dollar part (at rock auto the ACDELCO 251713...

    Sigh. The stealership strikes again

    Correct. And I took it to them to investigate coolant and ps leaks and so they found that. I had expected to pay 120 for the diagnosis, but the service advisor waived it I think because I had brought it in last week and then had to pick it up with nothing done because they were closing due to...

    Sigh. The stealership strikes again

    1.8 hours is book for the water pump. And the pump is a 150 dollar part.....so over a grand to bolt on a part?!?!

    Preferred ball joint press?

    I'll be damned, I guess I never paid close enough attention. When I replaced the lower control arms on the envoy it was reasonable because they were rusted out. That said, for 400 bucks, I'll just use the press lol.

    Preferred ball joint press?

    I've already broken one of those...so thats out...

    Preferred ball joint press?

    Indeed, however on the 2500s, there is no lower control arm. I'll assume the 1500s do. I know my old envoy did. But on the 2500 burb its a torsion bar suspension, so you MUST press in a new ball joint. God I wish they had bolt on BJs.

    Preferred ball joint press?

    Hey ya'll...do you guys have a preferred ball joint press? I had to put on a new ball joint over the weekend and it was a bear with the unit I rented from oreilly. I just felt like it was going to break. Do you guys have units that you like and work with HD type equipment?

    4HI just engaging whenver it feels like

    Hey all...haven't been around much. Just trying to get by in life. Surprisingly the burb is still kickin. Anyhow, weird thing that has happened a few times in the past months. 4x4, specifically 4HI, just engages when it feels like it. Doesnt happen often, but this morning was my 3rd event in a...

    FLRSGM10 Their website kinda sucks and doesn't really have an option for you to put in your vehicle, and then it spits out what model you need. But the GM10 is what you need for the 07-14s.

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

    Default timeout is 15 minutes. It can be programmed to a variety of timeout lengths from 5 minutes to like 30 minutes. The seller didn't actually ask me about the timeout length...which they could have because I had to provide them model/year/motor/fuel so they could program it before it...

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

    Installed the flashlogic remote start this evening. I was outside for about an hour, and I had some other wiring to redo for my mic that lives on the visor. That thing is pimp as hell. For 120 bucks, it's an effin no brainer. 3 taps on the lock button and she starts.....3 more taps and she...

    Tuning, what can it do for shift points?

    I've been considering a tuner for a bit now, and black bear seems to get the most thumbs up. I dont really care about power so much as I care about shifting. My transmission has been rebuilt, and seems to work fine - however I have some odd shifting occurring and I feel like its...

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

    Well I finally took a little christmas cash and bought the plug and play flash logic remote starter. Knowing my luck, it will be 50 degrees+ for the remainder of the winter, and I'll never use it.

    Can the bose amp be adjusted at all?

    Weird thing that has popped up lately is that my stereo sounds like the bass is way up ALL THE TIME. Like even at low volumes, it sounds like its cracking due too high of gain. Is there any adjustability to the bose amp? It sounds like someone has monkeyed with the crossover or something like...
