Right, you have a Salisbury 12-bolt which is supposedly stronger than the older 14-bolt. I do not know if they will drop right in.
If I had your truck, I would drop in the Salisbury 12-bolt 9.76" gear, the one used behind the 6.2s. I think you already have 1415 u-joints too.
So what do you want to see, rpms at speed with a given tire and gear ratio?
The 2500 Suburbans and Yukon XLs have 3.73s gears with the 6L90, for the purpose of this discussion it's the same thing, gearing is the same in the two transmissions.
The NHT equipped GMT900 pickups with 6-speeds have...
In this generation of vehicle, when GM redesigned the cooling system for the transmission they installed a thermostat on the side of the transmission to keep the temps up. Well, this limits their life to about 100K miles. All that heat causes the torque converter clutch lining material to fail...
Don't hear anything either. Hook up your phone or a go-pro under the truck and take a quick drive to capture the sound closer to the source without the wind noise.
More horsepower and torque from the same design and architecture. The 5.3s last longer because they put out less power.
Take a marine diesel engine for an example. At 1800 rpm for a 100% duty cycle it may last 12,000 hours but at 2400 rpms for a 100% duty cycle it might last 8000 hours.
I'm...
You can go to LT265/70/18 and gain an inch in height. Go to a LT275-70-18 and you'll gain a little width and be just over 33 inches tall. Should work without rubbing with stock wheels as we've seen T1 wagons with factory 275-60-20s.
The 2008s injectors are smaller compared to your 2010 regardless if it's a FlexFuel engine or not. The 2008 has higher compression as it uses flat top pistons and a single pattern camshaft.
If this was my rig, I'd swap the 2010s injectors overs, well, the whole intake and throttle body too...
This is usually a sign that your battery is failing to maintain a charge and the alternator and computer are doing everything they can to keep you from getting stranded.
How old is your battery? Has the truck been sitting and or making lots of short runs lately?
Great looking 'burb and love the fishing rig. Love that green color! We used to surf fish a lot when the kids were little and my health allowed it. My wife enjoys driving on the beach so once a year or so we spend a few days in Daytona Beach so she can get her fill of it. I like it too but...
First of all, more tire wear in the center of the tread is indicative of low air pressure and or a mismatch between tire and wheel sizing.
I have run 2 sets of KO2s in two different sizes on my trucks but not your size. They did get noisier as they aged and were so loud towards the end of...
I have an '09 and those codes don't appear in the shop manual for it. The U0100 does show up in the shop manual for my 2013. It says that the first code is probably the offending module that can no longer communicate on the network. When I pull up that list, U0013 is not on it.
When we...
Welcome Barry from Florida!
Did you modify any of the trucks in any way? Ever take them off-roading and such? How are the older ones holding up after 20 years and 300K miles?
Yep, inspect the plugs and wires and wiring to the coil and look for injector leaks on #2. After that, time to look inside and see if the lifter is partially collapsed or if a valve spring broke.
I'm weary, GM parts usually don't fail like that. My daughter had her girlfriend's mechanic boyfriend replace her cooling fan once. Upon installing the 3rd fan motor I was asked to come outside and have a look. The kid was shorting out each new fan by wiring them up wrong and of course...
I looked at 1, 2 and 5. I think you have a blown head gasket on 5, it's washing the piston clean. I'm not well versed enough with LS engines to tell if those cracks are in the material or carbon build up or casting slag.
There's a leakdown procedure that can tell you where the compression...
Had business over in St. Petersburg and spent a few days over there. Took the southern route on the way back to minimize time in the big storm front that passed through and that worked. Truck is covered in sand, it's still piled up on the grill louvers, the opening to the tow hooks and of...
Don't need the additives. Hard start in cold weather is normal with E85. It's not due to a problem with the fuel or your car, just the nature of the beast (E85).
Mine will do it on the first remote start when it is in the 50s or colder but not the second.
If yours performs worse, you might...
Between Vero Beach and Tampa here in Florida is a road called State Road 60 that joins the two towns together, about 3 hours apart. We find ourselves on this route regularly to pick up and deliver our grandson. Well, we met his mother on SR60 last night and a few hours later along the same...
How much of that 3,400 miles was above 3500 rpms giddy ups?
When my wife drive my truck, it uses oil. When I drive it, no oil of consequence is used up. I get 3 mpg or better than she does generally.
A quick search shows 18H4204/193647738 for a rear disc brake caliper seal kit.
The front piston seal kit has a different part number, for 2 pistons instead of one 179-2262/23276875 or 84828462 but the pistons themselves are the same as the one I posted above.
If yours were mine, I'd be...
