    Floor Jack Recommendations

    I have a 3 ton harbor freight Daytona out in my shed/shop that's about 5-6 years old. Lifts my 3/4 ton ram without problems. In the attached garage I have an older (20 years give or take a year or 2) harbor freight 2 or 2.5 ton jack. I forget the brand but it still works great. Lifts the wife's...

    Convert stock ZW7 suspension to Z55 -- Am I crazy!?!

    Why not replace your monroe's with a higher quality strut/ shock? Kyb, bilstein, fox etc. Monroe's are kind of bottom of the barrel as far as shocks and struts go. I wouldn't expect that great of a ride with them whether they're new or not.

    2017 Tahoe catalytic converter replacement

    Location plays a big role on cost for a converter. So where are you located? But first what was/were the codes? How many miles are on the Tahoe and does it burn oil? If it still runs good/normal my guess is a lazy oxygen sensor.

    Any Experiences with The LuK TorCon TC0017 Torque Converter?

    Says $348.79 for it on rockauto when I look it up for our 15 suburban.

    Can I get some real help, just got humiliated at dealership?

    The ac quit working in the winter of 24? Then you still drove it all last summer or at least waited a whole year to bring it to their attention? I'm not being rude. Just trying to get the story straight. If it went out this past winter then that's more then the 2-3 months you were asking about...

    Can I get some real help, just got humiliated at dealership?

    If it started blowing warm air again in 2-3 months why did you wait a whole year with it doing that to bring it back up to them? How many miles are currently on the truck? Or how many have you put on since it was "fixed". Time is never on a guys side as far getting a dealership or mechanic to...

    SOLVED - Questionable noise when cold and under load

    If you don't have emission testing you can pickup universal cats for a lot cheaper and weld them in. Or make the current ones "lighter" and get some spacers for the rear 02 sensors to keep the code away.

    Battery dying on my 2023 Yukon Denali

    Yep. On my ram attached to the battery. Where I have the plug for it coming out in the front bumper. When it's not in use I flip the plug up into the bumper and it's out of sight. On my side by side the battery is buried under the air intake in the front and a bunch of other crap. For now...

    Battery dying on my 2023 Yukon Denali

    I'd get a battery maintainer/tender for it. When not in use have it plugged in. Even if in your current situation you end up getting a new battery. Depending on which one you get. Get a hardwire cable or extension with terminals to wire it to the battery. Then run the line somewhere up in the...

    Crunchy Suspension when cold

    What's cold? Freezing like 32 degrees or 20 below 0? Everyone's opinion is different. Not apples to apples but on my pontiac car when it's -10 degrees or colder it feels like the oil in the strut freezes and will get some good thuds hitting potholes.

    To level on not to level?

    I'm not sure if they do for your rig but bilstein usually has front struts (5100 series I think) that have a clip on the strut that can raise the spring and give you some lift. Usually there's different clip positions so the same strut can give multiple lift heights. Maybe you already that, but...

    To level on not to level?

    How much of a rake does it have as it sits now? Hard to tell from the picture looking at the fender gap but it looks like less then a 2" difference. If you do I'd leave a little rake. Nothing worse then a vehicle dragging a** in my opinion.

    Considering how GM screwed us with the oil, what about the ATF?

    Here's my thoughts on transmission fluid temperature. If the hottest fluid is in the torque converter where is the temperature sensor? It's not in the torque converter. I believe for the 6l80e it's in the valve body area. So whatever your reading temperature wise there's fluid that's hotter then...

    How are your 10 speeds doing?

    I drove a relatives 23 yukon xl for roughly 4-5 hours. I like the 6 speed in our 15 suburban better. The 23 always wanted to be in the highest gear possible. Great for highways but "around town" 30-45 mph with stoplights not so much. To me it lugged (low rpm) the crap out of the motor. In the...

    Preventative Maintenance Plan Guidance (WWYD?)

    If you wait til the transmission starts having issues before changing the fluid a lot of times it's too late. Fluid is cheaper then a new transmission.

    Changing over to LED headlights-My neighbor

    You want the bulbs clocked at 3 and 9 o clock. I know you'll do it the right away and aim/adjust the headlights. Most people don't and that's a big reason why led's get a bad reputation for blinding people. Same with people who put leveling or lift kits on their rigs without adjusting their...

    EGR Delete

    Way back many moons ago when I had a 95 k1500 with the 350 tbi. I had some spare sheet metal laying around. Drew an outline of the egr valve. Cut it out with a grinder. Drilled the 2 holes and sandwiched it between the valve itself and the intake manifold. Or did I just leave the valve off and...

    2005 Z71 Tahoe has Blown Head Gasket?

    You paid $6,780 for this insurance over 2 years?! 265 a month for one full year and 300 a month the next. That's a lot of dough! It's working out for you in this case but no way in hell would I be paying my vehicles worth in insurance in 2 years. Unless I'm not understanding this correctly.

    Transmission replacement approaches

    If by a shop they mean business address. One option is if they ship ups or FedEx is to have them ship it to a "hub" or whatever they're called for that shipping company close to you. Then you just go there and pick it up. I've done it and could have gotten my parts a month earlier if I would...

    Valvoline Restore & Protect experiment

    @kbuskill what oil were you using on your 269k oil change? The one with the 14.63 cst @100? Looks like, and I could be wrong but the other previous ones were mobil 1 ep 5w30? Or at least a Xw30. Just curious why the last one was higher for the cst@100. This spring I ran valvoline r&p 5w30 for...

    17 Yukon XL 6.2 stalling, hard to start, injector issue

    It's faster for a dealership to just replace the engine rather then pull it out and "rebuild it". And who knows what they'll find once they open it up. Kind of the same if a guy was to do it himself. A lot faster just to yank the old out and in with the new. Maybe I missed it but was the oil...

    Anyone in the Middle TN area with an HP Tuner?

    Awesome! No problem bud! Around 10-15 years ago I was on another forum and they had a "stickied" map where members could put their location on it for programming/tuning work. It was an easy way to see what other members were in your area that could do simple programming and what not. I always...
