    How to replace the actuator in the front axle in your 4x4 OBS

    Not sure if the sensor is different on 96's and up but on 95's and down the actuator sends the signal when it reaches full extension, not a sensor in the diff, so the light on the floor board lights up when the actuator is all the way out. The 'push button 4x4' trucks (96 and up) the light...

    How to replace the actuator in the front axle in your 4x4 OBS

    Often times the thermo actuator to lock the front hubs in the front axle goes bad. Symptoms include after shifting into 4x4 the light never lights up to notify you, and you don't have 4x4. The part can be had for $65 or so online here: AM-AutoParts.com. I paid $130 from a local part supply...

    How to buy a new (used) Hoe

    if you can get it to a rack or a set of jackstands get the front wheels off the ground, grab them and attempt to twist, if you feel play in the front end expect to go through the whole rigamaro: pitman/idler arms/etc: every 85-100,000 miles these trucks need the front ends gone through. in the...

    Jenna bear tune's

    I don't know as I've not got a tune from them, but as a tuner I can tell you what most tuners do to stock vehicles to gain more power. Timing, timing, timing. There's not a lot left to tune if you have no modifications to the engine. They wouldn't be changing the injector tables as, you have...

    Work Log for my 1995 Yukon

    Thanks guys i've finished both sides now and I'm VERY happy with the look, it's not perfect but it's a lot better than the rusty gold. (it took me a while to get the rust out on the passenger side..) I"m going to move on to my bumpers today I think and remove the chrome wheel arches and see how...

    Work Log for my 1995 Yukon

    Yea, just ditching the body side molding to me was a huge +++. I'm also removing the rust at the bottom of the doors as I go about doing this, so it's a double bonus, looks less old guy and gets rid of the rust. Want to take the chrome fender things off, afraid of what is under them... Might...

    Ditched the pinstripes, body side moldings- the easy way

    I struggled to get the body side moldings off my vette, now I know the easy way thanks to a parts desk guy: That is an Astro Pneumatic Tool Company Smart Eraser Pad... It's as cool and works just like it sounds, you erase pinstripes, adhesive and double faced tape in no time with it! Okay...

    Does anyone have two sets of wheels/tires for summer/winter use?

    I'm not 100% but i'd check that again if I were you, are you sure the ABS and TC doesn't operate off speed sensors in the hubs? if so, there shouldn't be any issues.. Anyway, you don't need a techII to change things up, just a copy of HP Tuners, if you were nearby I'd take care of it for you :)

    95 and back: anyone doing LQ4 swaps?

    I will certainly take tons of pictures and document the swap when it happens. It will probably be later this winter as I want to get the outside of the truck fixed up a bit first (get rid of the rust on the bottom of the doors etc) and the things that need to be done to keep it runnning/driving...

    95 and back: anyone doing LQ4 swaps?

    Electronic throttle bodies don't scare me, I'd probably opt to leave the throttle body and do a DBW pedal conversion on my 5.3, along with the "piggyback" harness that keeps both ECU's.. i'd love to do a guage swap but I don't care to mess around with interior stuff that much. As it is I'm...

    Turned out to be too good to be true. motor was 1 hour away, called and told him I was bringing everything i needed to start the engine to test it (white lie) he agreed that was a good idea and I was going to come over tonight. He called back one hour later with the story that his son had sold...
