    OEM Style Fender Flares

    Anyone have any insights on the OEM style flares from Bushwacker or Monkey Autosports for a 2DR? I know both sets will fit, but the Bushwackers are about twice the price so I’m wondering if there’s a good reason for that, or if they’re basically the same thing. Also, if anyone has seen them and...

    Bought A '98 Yukon 5.7..

    No sweat, it’s good to see that folks are still interested in trying help either way; this forum has gotten kind of cold recently. I just keep screaming battery cause this guy said he doesn’t have a lot of money or time to spend, but it seems like he’s trying to find the most difficult...

    Bought A '98 Yukon 5.7..

    I think you're talking about the fusible link. That could be a cause of the vehicle simply not starting and everything being dead, but wouldn't be the cause of symptoms common to a severely drained battery (ie. dim lights, chime whine, no starter response, etc.) The fusible link (like all...

    Bought A '98 Yukon 5.7..

    Sorry if I'm stating the obvious, but have you checked the actual battery? Just cause you can get it to 12V on a recharge doesn't mean that it's able to hold that charge or that its got the CCA left to start the truck. Have you tried jumping it off a battery that you know is good? If the...

    VARGA Rear Disc on 2 Dr Tahoe

    I’m pretty sure the Varga brand was made mostly for VW applications; I have a buddy that had a pair on a 71 bus in the front, otherwise I’ve never seen em’ before. Maybe try and look on a VW forum about sourcing new ones and pad sizes...or just save yourself the headsche and go ahead and...

    Central lock switch not working

    You can also try looking at the small kick panel under the E brake pedal, all of your locking wires run through there. Check out the12volt.com , they have pretty good info on wire colors and locations for most of the locking/door functions.

    Positive Junction Box on Radiator Shroud

    It's basically just a carrier for the fusible link that makes it easier to replace in the event that it goes bad. Ideally you should keep it, but you can always replace it with a regular inline fuse (50A I think) if you really want to get rid of the box. An inline fuse isn't quite as effective...

    Battery looses charge

    Just to add to this: Make sure that when you're looking for the draw, everything - I mean EVERYTHING - is off. When you start pulling fuses you're gonna have your drivers side door open, which is going to show a draw so throw some tape or something over the door switch. I had a draw that was...

    Gear Ratio questions

    96 2DR 4WD running a 383 with stock (rebuilt 4L60E) trans and was thinking about finally changing out my gears and maybe swapping in a 4L80E. I feel like the motor really isn’t giving off it’s full potential and was wondering what gears/trans/motor combo folks on here are running and are happy...

    WANTED: Denali or Escalade center console

    Anyone one have a line on someone selling (or selling themselves) an OBS Denali or Escalade center console that's not $300+? All the ones on eBay are BIN's. Don't really care about condition as long as all the pieces are there. Thanks all.

    95 chevy tahoe multi-function switch

    Gotcha. I had a similar issue but mine was turn signal related. If you feel so inclined, you can take the whole switch out and disassemble it. You'll see a small box on the end of the lever that (once you open it up) will have a bunch of little metal fin connection points. They get dirty...

    95 chevy tahoe multi-function switch

    When you say "work in sync same with my cruise control" do you mean that when you switch on your CC your wipers turn on as well, or do you mean that the whole switch will work intermittently?

    COMPLETED Big 4 Upgrade w/ additional grounds PICTURES

    So after asking a question in a previous thread (http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=71819) about doing the Big 3 and replacing the fusible link and potentially adding a Battery to Frame ground - that went unanswered, I just went ahead and did it. I actually did the Big 4, and...

    Big 3/Fusible link question

    Doing the Big 3 (actually 4) upgrade and was wondering what advice anyone has for replacing the fusible link, what folks think the safest/best replacement option is. FYI I'm replacing all the factory wires with 0GA except for the batt + to the fuse box that one's getting a 4GA upgrade...

    96 2DR Center Console Swap

    Anyone tried or had success swapping in the center console from a 99(ish) Escalade? I want to change out from the half way (stock) console to one that separates the cockpit into 2 sides all the way from the dash back. I've seen a couple people do it with modified F150 ones, but who wants a...

    Help and Suggestions with suspension replacement

    Gee thanks, I was totally planning on getting a looser shock to help tighten the ride. Anyone with some worthy advice instead of a half cooked sarcastic reply?

    Help and Suggestions with suspension replacement

    Looking to replace the suspension in my 96 2DR 4WD, no major issues except it's just too loose and worn at this point so most of the time my hoe bounces around the road like I'm on a trampoline. Best I can tell, the current suspension is all original factory with the exception of the shocks...

    Headers and Tuning

    Those Doug Thorely's look nice though they're a little out of my price range. I looked at a bunch of the JBAs and according to the specs none of them had the fitting for the EGR or Oxy sensors but maybe that was just a misprint. As for the emissions, you would be right about the 383 not...

    Headers and Tuning

    There's no specific reason that the 383 isn't as you put it "emissions legal", the output is slightly different but still well within the thresholds for a 350. The issue with long tube vs. shortys passing emissions has more to do with the oxygen sensors on the downstream, having to reposition...
