    Possible trade my truck for an Envoy...What should I do?

    As some of you may know, Ive been considering dumping my 99 Yukon and getting into something newer. There are several issues bothering me. Rust is one of them, and the fact that after all my mods I just got to the level of an OEM 5.3l, and it drives like a full size 12year old truck. I...

    Is anyone else here able to chirp spin out tires?

    So now that I got my truck back yesterday and every damn thing has been fixed on it and it's running great, I was stomping on the go pedal a bit, and heard my tire chirp again. I realized that I missed that for a little while, and it's good to have it back again. I have the g80, 3.42 rear end...

    My turn for AC issues.

    I haven't touched mine for three years. It just wasn't cold enough. Guys in the shop say that the gauges tell them something is clogged. They changed the condenser and orifice tube. Still clogged. Ordered up a new lines kit and filter/drier/accumulator. See if that uncloggs it. I miss my...

    Playing with U-bolts...

    So on a more serious note. I'm a little embarrassed and humbled. As I've said many times, I'm server certified, not wrench certified. As you know yesterday I installed a 2" lift block kit in the rear by myself. I didn't make it 30kms(18.5miles) before I almost tore out the rear axle...

    Difference between superlift and skyjacker?

    I'm looking for 2" blocks for my rear. I'm looking for a complete kit. I was told in a previous post that I want a cast iron block. Here's what I found SO FAR. Why is the skyjacker kit 50% more than the superlift kit? I don't mind spending the extra $$ if it does anything for me. I just...

    What's the difference between blocks and leafs in a lift?

    I was reading THIS thread and I didn't want to thread-jack, so I posted up a new question. My rear end is sagging...it's lower than the fronts. It didn't use to be this way. In less than one year my brand new complete spring packs on both sides have started to droop. I have spoken with...

    Any idea what rims these are?

    These came from my 91K5 full size Blazer. I was in another thread when I got to thinking that I've had these for over a decade. Why not try them on my Yukon. So today I tried. They fit and clear the rotor and spin and everything looked good until the Old Guy Mech walked around. 'Son'...

    What are your stock fender heights?

    As measured from the ground to the fender lip centered over each wheel? Mine are 35" all the way around, on stock rims and tires. I thought that the fronts are lower than the rears from factory giving a kinda raked look? Hence the term leveling, which is cranking the fronts to be level...
