    Tow button and higher stall torque converter

    Thanks all....I think a tune is exactly what I need....I'll need to verify with the transmission builder that it won't void my warranty.

    Tow button and higher stall torque converter

    I tow a 7000 pound boat and had to rebuild my transmission. I had them upgrade the transmission and they also added a 2200 stall torque converter. now when I drive if I press the tow button nothing changes in my RPM shift timing….shifts at same rpm whether in tow/haul mode or not. The light...

    Moog vs Mevotech... Hub bearings? Need reviews Asap

    What did you end up doing about transfer case noise? They all have a pin hole leak so I hope you addressed the pinhole as well as the other issue. I’m sure you have a pinhole unless previous owner fixed it

    2005 Tahoe BDS 4" lift

    Why not just go with the Rough County 6" lift that is mostly bolt-on except for the grinding and cutting on front diff?? But no, sorry...no experience with BDS 4" lift.

    Trakmotive 8033xtt extended travel CVs

    Whatever happened? Did you complete the install? Did you watch my video...I addressed the way I got mine to fit...it was a bear, but it works.

    O2 sensors

    I did a video on what tools to use to replace them. I replaced all four on mine. They were all installed on the truck the same day at factory...if one goes bad the others will follow. Might as well replace them all if you are able to financially. Using a scan tool that can show you live data...

    Lol. I’m don’t have evidence…I wanted to know if anyone had any longer term experience.

    Rev-X Engine oil

    I've been using Rev-X engine oil treatment for about a year now each time I change the oil in my TAhoe....it's awesome...it's expensive but it seems worth it to me! Has anyone else tried it before? I'm not being paid to endorse them but I'm curious if anyone else has had any experience with...

    Trakmotive 8033xtt extended travel CVs

    Did the key kit require spacers? I still think the extended axles were worth it even if you don't have a 6" lift.

    Does anyone know a way to measure actual torsion level/lift??

    I found an explanation on where to set torsion keys while reading the installation instructions for one of the expensive lift kits. I forget which one...look at the various installation instruction pdfs for the premium lift kits (not rough country) for our year trucks and near the end it will...

    Post 6” Lift- Bump Stops Riding on Lower A-Arm

    Yep...jounce stops are always supposed to be in contact with control arm bracket. Certainly you can adjust the keys for more lift but they should still touch.

    CV Axle Question

    I have a 6" RC lift also. At first I had the 2" spacers installed with my OEM CV axles but then I changed over to Extended travel CVs for a 2008. Because that axle is longer than the OEM 2004 axle I could ditch the 2" spacer and still have a little more travel to go along with my Cognito Upper...

    Suspension/Handling upgrades after leveling

    I had a torsion kit on mine and added new upper control arms from Cognito plus limit straps and was finally able to get it to align but by then I was like I might as well get a Rough Country 6"...so that's what I did. You can always spend $$$ to improve your torsion lift ride but it will never...

    33" spare tire fit

    It's a super weird size because I was too cheap to buy another rim. I wanted to reuse the rim that came with the OEM spare tire. So the tire I bought to go on the spare OEM wheel is a 295/75R16. It's close to same height as my 33" Yokohamas but in hindsight I should have just bought another...

    What do you mean "do the front clip"?

    33" spare tire fit

    Mine is a 2004. That’s true, I could relocate the brake cable to front of panhard but the tire still hangs too low for the trail. At least I know I have an option if I just have to have the third row seats back in truck

    33" spare tire fit

    Well that was a fail. I couldn’t wait until Saturday. The tire diameter didn’t touch the cut hitch and it barely touched the brake line on panhard bar. But the thickness of tire was having problems going much higher into the truck. It was hanging kind of low and I didn’t trust it against...

    Front end refresh - am I missing anything?

    also...more I thought on it...If your upper and lower control arms are worn out and your inner/outer tie rods, etc, etc...then how are the wheel bearings? Once you get the steering knuckle released from the control arms then you'll need to transfer it and the old wheel bearings onto the new...

    Front end refresh - am I missing anything?

    Alignment is set but when you're driving down the road the tires can be tracking straight but if the steering gearbox is worn, then the steering wheel will have play in it from side to side without steering the truck...to keep truck in the lane and tracking you'd have the truck's toe, camber...

    Front end refresh - am I missing anything?

    unfortunately the most expensive part....the steering gear. And the cheapest, easiest parts...the jounce bumps. With the truck running move your finger back and forth gently. If steering wheel moves side to side without moving the front wheels then there's play in the steering gear box. You...

    Popping from front end? Tried everything..

    last thing...since you've checked everything else check the front wheel bearings. I know failure modes for wheel bearings are noises and vibrations but just check...you've checked everything else
