    Achieving that "new car ride" again without buying a new car again.

    I replaced the front sway bar end links and the sway bar mounts with polyurethane. I do not notice any noise or harshness from them at all. Probably would with poly control arm bushings, but not sway bar bushings.

    Achieving that "new car ride" again without buying a new car again.

    If you are replacing parts, look into using polyurethane bushings instead of rubber. Better handling and longer lasting. I replaced the sway bar mounts and end link bushings on 2 of my vehicles a few months ago with kits from Energy Suspension.

    Steering stabilizer

    When I was installing the Cognito idler and pitman braces on my 2500, I noticed there were oe mounts for a stabilizer. I looked it up at advanceautoparts and they had one (monroe, if I remember correct) that fit for around $35. It bolted on no problems with it.

    Daytime Running light upgrades?

    The 4157NAK (natural amber glass, krypton gas filled) bulbs are for the drl. The park/turn and side marker bulbs I look for "NA" after the part # which means natural amber glass, rather than an amber coating that flakes off. the park/turn would be 3157NA. Edit: the 4157 is a dual filament...

    Daytime Running light upgrades?

    I replaced the turn/park/drl housing with an aftermarket chrome with clear lens set, and used 4157NAK bulbs. They are the amber bulbs that were used in corvette drls. They are amber glass, instead of an amber coating. They are nice and bright in the chrome/clear housing. The way the chrome...

    What is this? Have looked everywhere online. Oil cooler?

    Replace entire AirRide System or Convert to Passive?? - 2003 Denali

    It was available in the suburban 2500 as well as the yukon denali(1500). I have seen it on extended cab and double cab trucks, too. Too bad they never made an avalanche with it. I would love to have a duramax/allison quadrasteer avalanche! I dropped the yukon off to have the a/c repaired...

    Right after new idler and pitman arms were installed on mine, I put the cognito pitman and idler brace kit on as well. I was going to recommend it, but looking at the web site for cognito I did not see a kit for 1500 series trucks or suvs?

    Autoride delete

    When I had airlift bags (inside of a coil spring), the instructions said that they needed a minimum (I think it was 10psi or so) pressure to keep them from chafing or getting pinched.

    I connot remember, but I ordered it on ebay for around $70 I did not have a hog ring tool, so I fastened the seat cover with industrial zip ties, lol. My chrysler pacifica driver seat bottom is cracking on the side and top of the side bolster, I need to do a cover swap on that too.

    I did the seat cover and foam swap from a second row to driver seat on a 2000 chevy astro van. I bought the entire 2nd row seat from a recycler. I swapped the bottom only, the only thing that was different was i had to cut a hole in the side for the lumbar adjust knob. I added an aftermarket...

    AC BROKEN: Clicking/Whirring Passenger Side When AC Turned On

    Possibly a blend door or actuator (or both) has broke. You would need to connect to a factory level scan tool to look for fault codes in the hvac system.

    Trans Cooler

    Do a google images search for "sierra trans cooler" and you will see how people have mounted them to the hood latch "a-frame" in front of the condenser. For the lines I cut the return line with a tubing cutter and double clamped trans cooler hose to them to feed/return the new cooler.
