    US Powertrain - anyone use them before

    Got a little vibration in the front end at highway speed. Got down there and grabbed the drivers CV shaft and the bearing in the front diff is bad. Rather than tear it out and play the save a buck game I priced a reman unit with a few companies. US Powertrain is $995 comeplete.

    03 Burb won’t start

    Came out to go to church and it wouldn’t fire. It was about 1/8th tank and parked on an incline so I rolled it backwards to level surface and still nothing. Just cranks and cranks and cranks. Cycling the key in an attempt to pressurize the fuel system results in a hit maybe from one or two...

    Still harsh after Bilstein 5100s

    Just did leveling keys and Bilstein 5100s this morning and my burb is still harsh and shit hitting rough patches and the occasional bump. I got stock replacement for the rear and the 0-2.5 inch lift for the front. Thoughts? Could it be bushings? What about those jounce pads. Those are not touching.

    Lifter ticking.

    It starts ticking when cruising on the highway. It comes and goes. Any tricks? In wanting to do a 6.0 swap but I was hoping to get that done in spring.

    Another "which Bilstein shock" thread

    I know I'm getting Bilstein 5100. What I don't know is the length. I don't want to lift the rear any. It's a z71 burb. I am going to order eBay keys to level the front out. Should I add those jounce things too? I imagine I'll need 1.5 minimum in the front to level it. Also when if at all should...

    Got some new wheels and tires

    I took the plunge and did it and glad I did! I wasn't sure they style would match the year. I think it turned out great! Cosmetically next will be DEPO projectors and matching bumper lights and new z71 emblems. Mechanically it's going to the shop Friday for a quote on replacing all front end...

    Poly vs rubber bushings

    the time has come and I'm ready to redo my suspension and tires etc. who has used the poly bushing kit? I know it will increase harshness and road noise but by how much? Do you feel as if it was worth it?

    Photoshop request...

    Can someone photoshop the z71 midnight edition wheels on to my suburban. I'm having a real dilemma right now. I need tires soon and I'm not sure I want to stay with the snowflakes and have them powdercoated gloss black and buy tires OR buy the midnight edition black wheels with the good year...

    Replaced two actuators and still not working properly.

    I've replaced the mode door actuator and drivers side temp blend door. Did the recalibration procedure and nothing changed. I have the other two actuators for the recirc and passenger temp blend but I'm not putting them in until I know they're bad. Anyone in the Knoxville area have Silverado...

    HVAC actuators - need part numbers.

    Anyone have the part numbers for all four? I keep getting different ones when I look them up on the Dorman website. Im replacing all four because all four went out nearly simultaneously.

    My favorite Tahoe I've ever seen

    Browsing Craigslist just for fun the other day and came across a guy selling this. I instantly fell in love with it. I have the same vehicle but a suburban. Kind of gave me a new direction with my burb. Still doing the atomic coilovers and such but for wheels and bumper guard setup. I text the...

    6L80/90 conversion?

    Came across these guys while looking for options to control a 6L80 in an older vehicle. I don't hate the 4L60/65 I just don't think it won't last long behind a 6.0 pulling much. This is all hypothetical though. Thoughts? Let's discuss. I'm no expert by any means but these guys are working on...

    HVAC nightmare

    back story - recently replaced my front evaporator core for my a/c in my 03 burb. It's dual zone but not auto. EVERYTHING worked as it should prior to this except the air wouldn't blow cold. I disconnected my battery during this and it was disconnected for about 18 hours total. First my fan only...

    10 ply tires on a 1/2 Suburban?

    The time for times is quickly coming. I'm seriously considering the Falken Wildpeak at3w but they only come in 10 ply for a 285/70r17. Curious as to how much mpg I'll give up and how rough the ride is. I'll be adding Bilsteins at the same time.

    Z71 Suburban with 2" lift and 285s

    Looking for pics of Suburbans with that setup. I'm getting closer to buying atomic performances coilover kit and doing a complete bushing replacement. Trying to decide if 2" inch lift on 285s is to much or not enough.

    Replaced my front evap core. Blower motor only works on high.

    Just as the title says. Spent two days replacing my front evaporator core. Got it all back together last night and the blower motor only works on high. Think it's just coincidence that the resister went bad at the same time I was messing with the wiring or what should I check. Just found out...

    Who is running the new 18inch black Z71 wheels?

    I'm wondering if anyone has these on pewter? Almost time for new tires and thinking I may get some new wheels too. I'm not a huge fan of all the flashy fuel wheels or those types of wheels. I prefer the OEM look I guess. Thanks in advance

    body roll baby

    I've confirmed all of my bushings need replaced. Seriously. They're terrible but what can you expect with 250k on the clock. Anyway. As I replace those I wouldn't mind upgrading my sway(anti-sway) bar to decrease body roll while cornering. Would a 2500 swaybar help?

    What connects there?

    Behind the oil fill tube there is a metal line that something is supposed to be connected too. Any ideas? I noticed it while putting plugs and wires in today trying to get rid of a miss.

    Denalis that don't have 22s? Anyone?

    Who has taken their Denali the other direction? I think denalis look good but I'm curious to see if anyone has maybe leveled one and put some 17s or 18s with all terrains etc.

    4L80e swap - who has done it?

    Having some transmission issues. Shifting weird and not downshifting etc. I changed the 1-2 2-3 shift solenoids today. Problem comes back intermittently. Probably going to try the pressure solenoid and if that doesn't fix it I'll make a boat anchor out of it. Before I shell out $600-1000 bucks...
