    Ball Joint Replacement

    When any of my ball joints go out I just replace all 4 upper and lower control arms at one time. I do beat mine up off road and do not want to break anything when in the wilderness.

    Key fob not working like it did in the past..

    My fobs have been working fine in the past years operating the locks from a hundred or more feet away.. In the past 6 months they seem to only work within 15 feet or less sometime not at all. Both batteries have been replaced and that didn't help at all. Is this a programing issue or do I...

    2011 Yukon XL LT - Overland Build - Input Appreciated

    No I run a tuner on both trans and ecm... 4.88's even with 35s really sucks unless you want to rock crawl with it... But if you want to rock crawl with it then a solid axle will be necessary because the front diff is a weak point. This is slightly exaggerated but, if you want to feel what...

    2011 Yukon XL LT - Overland Build - Input Appreciated

    Most likely he has a 6L80E and with 33 tires anything over 4.10 will be horrible unless you plan on running 37's In my experience running 35's with 4.88 s they will get about 10 mpg highway tops and it will be a slug on acceleration it will also be shifting into 6th gear around 35 mph. It...

    2011 Yukon XL LT - Overland Build - Input Appreciated

    One important factor is does he have a 2 speed tranfer case??? The following advice is based on having a two speed tranfer. With a single speed case it might be better to have the 4.11 gears. The 2011 should have a 6L80E and running on 33's with a limited slip the 3.73 should work out fine...

    Rear side window delete?

    Thank you those videos are pretty helpful. Fortunately I have a lot better fabrication equipment than those guys. I will do my design on CAD and use a CNC plasma cutter to cut things out. I might use hidden hinges on mine if I put a door in. I just need to decide just what I want to do...

    Rear side window delete?

    There will be no reaction since the two metals will never be in bare contact with each other. The rear windows are glued in and I can use the same stuff to hold the panels in place with possibly some extra hardware or clamps if needed depending on what I do with them. My windows already have 1...

    Rear side window delete?

    Aluminum can be plenty strong enough and weather proofing a hatch is pretty simple. The stock window is glued in and could be reinforced with extra hardware if needed. As an industrial design engineer I would have no problem with making this work. So far as the front seats that is not the...

    Rear side window delete?

    As most of you know I have an overland Tahoe... Right now I am just thinking out loud... What I have in mind is removing the left rear window and replacing it with an aluminum plate. I might do the same with the right window or a variation of things below... Here are few ideas of what I am...

    Phantom Coolant Leak...

    I agree the tanks are very difficult to find when leaking. Mine leaked for a while and the trick to finding it is to pressurize the system. and look for air or coolant escaping.

    NNBS Swap out single speed T-case for two speed

    I did it a few years ago on my 2011 it works great. It's a simple swap over. Transfer case, Dash switch and TCM For mine there was no programing and it still uses the same wiring harness.

    New brake rotors, pads & steel braided lines - pedal needs tapping to be firm...

    I have replaced rear brake lines several times in the last few years because I was breaking the lines when off road... Every time I replaced the rear lines I was by myself. I filled the M/C put a clear hose on the bleeder and put the hose in a bottle. Cracked the bleeder a little bit and went...
