    Diff drop compatibility.

    I'm trying to find some diff drop spacers for my suburban to help correct cv angles. Does anyone know if the ones sold for the silverados/Sierras will work?

    So I having a couple of odd braking issues. This weekend I was braking hard to avoid sliding down a steep snow covered road. My Anti-lock brakes kicked on but I was not able to actually stop. I ended up putting the ebrake on and that was able to stop me. While braking I got a message that said...

    My father just got his Silverado front and rear end re-geared from 3:42 to 4:10 and he gave me his old parts. My suburban has the 3:08 gears. Does anyone know if the gears he gave me are compatible with my truck?

    Struts with lift? Or OEM size with spacer?

    I have a 3 inch lift. I just put new rough country shocks on the rear. I still have oem shocks on the front with a top and bottom spacer. I'm going to replace the struts with new ones and saw that rough country has an already lifted strut. Is it better to go with an already lifted strut or an...

    Temperature of stock thermostat?

    I am having thermostat issues and want to replace it. I've seen a few that say they are 194 degrees and say that is the oem temp but then I have seen other thermostats that say they are 208 degrees and say it is the oem temp. Then I called the dealer and they said the one they have is 212...

    Aesthetically pleasing brake controller

    I don't have the stock brake controller so obviously there is a blank space where it should be. Does anyone know of a brake controller that would fit in that spot and look oem or close to it? I don't like how the ones that mount under the dash look.

    Does this look like a transmission leak?

    I had my transmission rebuilt about 25k miles ago because the torque converter went out. I crawled under my truck today to see where my transmission thermostat was because I want to install a bypass to keep it cooler while towing…anyways I saw fluid on this aluminum plate above the cooler lines...

    Do you know what this part is?

    There is a part above my transmission pan that is a rod with a rubber boot covering it. It looks like the boot has broken. I’m wondering if it is something I should fix or not worry about it?

    I'm guessing my trans is dead?

    This weekend, trans started slipping and going into random gears so rpms were all over the place. It didn't overheat, the temp was at about 190 to 200 on average but when the random shifting thing happened the temp climbed really quick. I stopped and had it towed home yesterday and looked at my...

    silverado fender flares for tahoe/suburban

    I'm looking for some fender flares for my suburban and am wondering if anyone has these or similar ones that will fit? If not, I wonder how much modding would be involved to make these work?

    33" tire width on stock suburban 18" wheels?

    I'm going to put new tires on my suburban. I have a 3" leveling kit on front and 3.5 on back. I want the biggest tire I can fit with little to no trimming. I have read that's a 33"? What width tire should I get for the stock rims. That will stick out maybe an inch or so but nothing too dramatic...

    New upper control arm question

    I installed new upper control arms to go with my lift in front. I'm not sure if they should be this close to the frme when the tires are down or is that just the nature of it with the lift? Or did I not install them right? Or will it be resolved when I get an alignment?

    Questions on Suburban lift.

    I want to lift my 2015 Suburban. I think 3.5" at the most since I dont think that will require any major cutting for drop brackets etc. I want 32 or 33" tires. My question is for that little of lift should I do anything other than top and bottom strut spacers in front (2.5" top and 1" bottom)...

    Maybe overthinking but I feel like my suburban runs too hot...

    Backstory: I had a 2004 suburban with the 5.3. The temp Guage always hung at 210 no matter if it was hot outside, I was towing, whatever. My 2015 suburban seems to run really hot. For the most part it stays at 210 unless iget the RPMs up around 3k then it climbs to about 220-235 before cooling...

    burp coolant system, truck running hot!

    So I replaced the thermostat, water pump pulley, coolant temp sensor, leaking radiator hose and coolant reservoir tank. My 2015 suburban (5.3) still gets up to about 3/4 or higher on the temperature guage before cooling down. I'm guessing there is air somewhere in my cooling system. I have tried...

Is this normal or is there something wrong with my engine? (Yes i know there are only 5...I thre w the other ones away before i took the pic. They...

    Anyone know what this pulley is?

    What is this pulley? It wobbles back and forth while running. It has a lot of play, I can wiggle it when stopped and seems to be making a lot of noise.

    Roof rack plastic part number

    Does anyone know the part number of the plastic cover/trim that hoes over the stock roof rails (see attached pic)? Also if anyone can point me to some documentation on how to fix that would be great. The car wash damaged it.

    Oem trailer brake controller install

    Is there a way to add the factory trailer brake controller to my 2015 suburban. I don't have the Max tow package that includes the stock controller but I will be towing with it. I can add an aftermarket one but the factory looks cleaner if it is possible.

    Is my thermostat bad?

    I just bought this 2015 Suburban LT about 3 weeks ago and I feel like it should be running hotter than it is. It seems to stay right about the line above 160 or the 1/4 line on the gauge. My 2004 suburban ran right about half way. Is my thermostat bad or do these newer ones just run cooler?

    Towing capacity comparison to nbs

    I just totalled my nose 2004 suburban lt and am looking at upgrading to a nnbs suburban or Tahoe. Everything I've read says that the standard ls and lt 4x4 is only 5000lbs towing capacity? Is that correct? I think my 2004 5.3l was like 7000lbs. Why the drop in the newer models?
