    Horrible sway

    Well that's certainly not helpful! Nonetheless it would not hurt to check all the Caliper slider bolts to make sure they are properly lubed.: Unfortunately .. it's not darting hard to one side under braking but checking all the slider bolts ... can't hurt. :)

    What to use on running boards and bumper plastic

    Hey ... I've used that stuff before for general cleaning and stuff! Apparently an Auto Parts store is not a good place to buy it! I paid at least that much for a lot less! Any chance you know how to get rid of the "Chestnut color on the water reservoir bottle?? I read about someone doing it a...

    Denali front license plate bracket removal

    Round hole in the bolt head with three tabs, seems to be made of aluminum. No front plate but the bracket is still there. In NV the law requires a front plate but it's been mentioned when I was pulled over for other issues and on one occasion I was specifically targeted because of no front...

    Huge hesitation, mechanically inclined. Please help

    Absolutely ... "no disagreement here" frankly ... I think the "TC" on these things is kinda slow. :) If your quick with the steering wheel and the throttle ... you can beat it! Making a hard left ... I thought for a sec ... the brakes were being applying?? But I got the wheels pointed straight...

    Stalled. Fuel Pump?

    Most likely ... they have never seen a "Vapor Lock" situation before??? To be fair seen I have been dealing with FI motors ... I have not seen that issue either??? But the "popping sound" from the rear?? The only thing that makes sense is an "Evap Issue" and the vehical "said" that was the...

    Huge hesitation, mechanically inclined. Please help

    Well I would hardly say this thread makes you look dumb?? I'm impressed with your ability to "troubleshoot!" "Tackle" one of these issues at a time. If you've calibrated/replaced the "Knock Sensor" and it's still pulling timing??? That's not right??? Maybe it's the PCM/ECU?? Can you just...

    Stalled. Fuel Pump?

    I'll defer to the clip on the Evap system I linked! One of those "Black Box" mysteries for me, that as long as it works ... I don't care. :) But that said the "Popping noise" and you say you always fill it up ... it sounds like an "issue/failure" with that system (Evap) to me???

    Huge hesitation, mechanically inclined. Please help

    Well there is certainly no harm in "walking away" when you come up against a wall. Yes ... yes they do! If the system "thinks the vie is outta control ... it cuts power and applies brakes to regain stability. Most likely you would not be checking "stuff" that you don't realize is there. :)...

    Stalled. Fuel Pump?

    Hmm, well the dealer has had it three days and can't find anything wrong??? Did they happen to add in "They all do that." :) But on a serious note ... did you happen to take note of the fuel level in the tank when the issue happens?? 1'2 a tank or more and could be vapor lock??? I've never had...

    Fuel Lines - Can Someone Help Me With a Part?...

    Hopefully someone can chime in and confirm?? It looks right to me but I've not looked at that system?? A viable Plan B ... print out that picture and show your guy.

    Spark plug help

    WOW that is "seriously" messed up!! As close as I came to that ... would have been had I chosen to work on my neighbors 5.4. I did some research and saw "broken Spark Plug Extractors" coming up a lot??? Apparently with those motors "Broken Spark Plugs" is expected??? I declined doing the job. :)...

    Horrible sway

    Does it do the darting thing under "braking" or all the time???

    Sway bar bushings size

    I think this is the kit you need?? It would be an upgrade to the stock bushings which are softer, so even new they would have more give. You can call Summit or Energy Suspension for more info. :)...

    how to disable air ride

    Hmmm ... most likely someone that "knows" will chime in later because, I thought you needed to add a reistor somewhere to disable the system??

    Look What Ran Into Me, Or What I Ran Into

    Just last night on HWY 50 came as close as I ever want, to hitting a freaking Horse!!! 4 lane Highway and I saw a Ford on the opposite of the road going gotta slow?? So I lifted and a freaking horse shot the gap???? Fortunately I was doing about 55 and not 70 ... stupid horse!

    Troubled 03 yukon

    I'm stuck on the dual TPS?? Have I missed something??? That aside ... it's a enthusiast forum and near as I can tell ... the best way to tick people off is to proclaim that "this" choice sucks whatever "this" may be?? :) Intermit "issues" are some of the worst problems to deal with. And those...

    Belltech 5321 2" rear leveling kit installed today

    What are and size are those wheels and tires??? And ... I just that LE the Sheriff's Departments are using those out here (NV)??? The NHP seems to use the Ford Edge ... creepy looking things in NVHP Colors ... or maybe it's just me?? I freak whenever I see the Ford Badge on a White Edge!

    Belltech 5321 2" rear leveling kit installed today

    Sigh 22's are factory ... how things have changed! I'm thinking 18's or 20's for a street setup with a 2/3 drop. We have real winters out here (well not by Minnesota standards) here snow ice and stuff but lots of "dirt roads and stuff" everywhere. Our 2004 Denali is certainly not a "Rock...

    For the hunting setup?? Do you still run 22's, or a different wheel size combo??

    Denali front license plate bracket removal

    If you want to save the security bolts?? You need to find out what that weird looking security bolt (head is) is?? I've jacked mine up (two of those bolts) they seem to be kinda soft .... aluminum maybe??? I'm gonna take a drill to them this weekend ... tired of looking at that thing.

    07+ Brake upgrade on a 00-06 NBS, is it worth it?

    Yeah kinda what I was thinking?? The rotors were turned and they look good ... but something is off??

    Horrible sway

    Hmm well ... they are not Sport Cars ... but having said that ... it sounds like "something" is just not right??? Back to basics ... put her up on 4 sturdy jack stands, with the wheels off and inspect and tug on stuff. The sway bar ends on the rear suspension sounds like a likely suspect...

    07+ Brake upgrade on a 00-06 NBS, is it worth it?

    OK ... O7 upgrade are on my things to do list. I also have "Black Brake Fluid" and I get a "pulsing on the front brakes??
