    Need transmission advice please

    I think 1350 is a pretty good price for a rebuild, especially if its a performance rebuild. I had mine rebuilt for 2200. That was a full performance rebuild, i had them put in all new high performance bands, clutches, a beefed up sunshell, higher stall convertor, new planetarys, billet servos...

    Funny Trans Story...

    I had the same issue with putting a used trans in my truck, the shop i took it to was gonan charge me a little over a grand to put a used tranny from a silverado in it. I said no thanks, I didnt feel like having to pay the same price in another few years, so i took it to a performance shop and...

    Rough Idle and running VERY rich

    So today on the way home from work my truck decided to piss me off. Its idling pretty rough, it sounds like it has a cam in it and its running extremely rich, when you stand within 5 feet of the exhaust you can smell straight fuel. Im thinking its an ignition problem, its not throwing codes...

    Chrome fender trim removal?

    Thanks man. With the rear blocks i didn't have to extend anything at all, and the blocks i got were nice because they were tapered so the rear drive line angle wasn't ruined. For the front i have heard 2" was a lot as well, i haven't had any issues yet, the only thing i don't like is the front...

    Performance Ignition Kit??

    hey sunlit im running an msd cap and rotor too. How did yours fail? When i pulled mine apart to do the intake manifold gasket i was kinda surprised that there was already some carbon buildup on the terminals on the inside of the cap, I haven't even had it on there for more then 6 months.

    GMC front end.

    Sorry i know this is a little late but i was out of town haha. I got the front end but im still debating on if i want to put it on or not, i guess i need to just try it out and see, if i dont like it ill put the old one back on and get the new one painted to match.

    Chrome fender trim removal?

    The only thing is depending on how long they have been on there you might have marks in the paint from the chrome strips, my truck did unfortunately, but they aren't noticeable unless you actually examine the fenders

    Squat???

    Its spreading here in Virginia too, its really popular on the lifted super dutys and rams, all the HD trucks seem like they have it now, I personally dont like it, an inch is ok, it reminds me of a baja truck, on certain trucks though. My yukon goes the other way lol, i was raised on vehicles...

Cause mine sure is, every time i look at it its got a new crack or something is split, its so irritating, and i want a new front end, but then i gotta get it painted, its so much work for that. Does anyone think...

    Good shocks?

    Just thought id share this, im probably gonna go with the rs9000s because i really like the fact that they are adjustable, and i tow every now and then too. But the pricing between summit and rock auto is ridiculous. Rock auto has them for 86 bucks a piece, at summit they are 110 a piece, i...

    Good shocks?

    Hmmm maybe i will give those a shot first, since they are a little cheaper then the ranchos, and if i dont like them then I will try the ranchos.

    Good shocks?

    I was looking at those. That might be the best option, at least for the front for now, the rear is ok, leaf springs are stiff enough. I just think the ifs is too soft for my tastes. They sell the controllers for those shocks separately dont they?

    Good shocks?

    Alright im gonna start off by saying rough country shocks are extremely soft. I got nitros all around and the front bounces like there arent any shocks there. It rode better with the old oem bilsteins. Ok so what are some good stiff shocks i can get for the Yukon? I like a really stiff ride, its...

    secondary aux fan

    what about just running it to a switch? For the price of that oem fan i really want to do that to, but i think it would be cool to have it on a switch, does anyone know how much power that fan draws?
