    Worst shipping ever. Almost everything I receive has Zero packaging and gets damaged.

    Was just about to install the AC compressor I bought last year and found the compressor clutch pulley has scuffs on it and does not spin evenly. The reason I did not install it last summer is RockAuto shipped me a condenser in the retail packaging that got damaged in shipping multiple times. Now...

    Upper Rad Hose

    Bought a Gates 22209 from RA and the fit is probably not for my truck it's so far off. Just bought a Dayco 71881 from Pep Boys so I could see it first, (RA sells it too), and the fit is perfect. FYI

    Brake Booster

    Did I never notice my OEM booster hissing inside the engine bay when I press the pedal or is something wrong here? I also mentioned this multiple times with the previous ones and nobody said anything? Just installed the Cardone and it does the same thing. Also the pedal return is super slow...

    Brake Booster arm adjustment/ pedal travel

    Just got a Cardone brake booster. Have realized the arm can be adjusted for pedal travel. Does anyone know the correct way to do this? Trial and error?

    Power Brake Booster - Any recommendations?

    I bought a SKP from RA. Not great quality and as It's leaking and will be returned I won't buy it again. I need to order a replacement and there is no Delco option. Options are: Cardone Centric Prior Quality Built They are all similar price. I'm guessing Cardone as I've seen people liking...

    What do you think of this bend

    Looks like a serious restriction. Nicely pre corroded. Doesn't really show in pictures but I can see and feel it. Other bend is not as bad. What say you? Perhaps I can use the old/original piece instead of this?

    What grease Caliper bolts / slides

    I need to service my front calipers as one is dragging a bit. I have some anti-seize that I think I'm supposed to use on the slides, but what grease should I use for the bolts?

    Terry towels

    I've always used them for compound, cleaner, polish and wax, and prefer them over synthetic. But the quality of what I have found is incredibly poor. I'm still using some I've had for years and anything in the stores look like rags in comparison. I just bought a pack of a brand I'd bought...

    Power Steering Cooler

    Wondering if it's worth adding a PS cooler before I change the pump. Pump only gets weak when I leave the truck running/idling with AC going for 20+ mins. Not sure if my aluminum rad without plastic end tanks is causing/helping this. Truck is lifted with oversize wheels and tires. If I change...

    Aged 3rd brake light

    I'm really not sure what I should do to clean the plastic surround of the 3rd brake light up. I'm not sure how to prep it and what to use on it. Or if it's even worth messing with. It works and doesn't leak so I'd rather just mask it up unless I'm replacing it. What would you suggest? EDIT I...

    Brakes. WTF am I not doing / doing wrong?

    New MC was bled and installed. I bled the brakes, then ran the ABS bleed a couple times. Then I bled all the brakes again. Pedal sucks. I even tried one man manual bleed with the pedal thinking there may be something in the MC. And then pressure bled them again. Pedal still sucks. Just off...

    Master Cylinder reservoir swap?

    Deformed the reservoir while getting carried away trying to get the Motive to seal. Have a MC with a good one that has to be returned. Will I have issues if I pull the good one off and put it on the other MC body that is installed in the truck?

    How to remove trans filter gasket?

    Instructions say use a screwdriver but I couldn't get behind it without damaging the case. I've tried a couple small angled picks but getting nowhere. Have a larger one to try. Any ideas?

    MC replaced and pedal is solid, can't bleed

    I just replaced the MC and now the pedal is solid and I can't even push it to bleed the brakes? MC piston went in and out with no issue when bench bleeding it. I pulled the lines off and checked them to make sure they were fitted properly and they are fine. Fluid will come out of the rear...

    ABS bleed port

    I came across this video last night. I've never seen this mentioned and I have the exact same thing on my 96. No assistant for the moment to see if I get any air out of it after doing the Tech2 ABS function. Thought someone might find it useful

    Delco or Powerstop? Front brake overhaul

    Can't decide whether to buy Powerstop or Delco for a front brake overhaul? There's about $30 in it as the Delco has a core return for the calipers. Also most of the Delco parts are from the 'professional' line. What do you guys think? I screwed up when I replaced the rear cylinders...

    Shop Manuals or AllData?

    Will I be missing much if I buy shop manuals instead of paying for alldatadiy.com? Seller has agreed to $150. Still a bit pricey. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1996-Chevy-Suburban-Tahoe-Silverado-GMC-Yukon-C-K-Truck-Service-Shop-Manual-Set/352718428818

    Rear brakes binding/sticking

    My rear brakes are almost always sticking a bit after I come to a stop and then pull away. Both sides have been doing it for a while. I thought there must be something seriously wrong in one of them but there's nothing and everything is as it should be. Normally seems to happen on one side or...

    Anyone running 33x12.5 tires without a lift?

    What's the offset on your wheels, how bad does it rub, how much did you trim? I really don't want to trim anything and so this may not be possible. My truck has 2" blocks at rear and keys cranked up at the front. Current tire is 32.8x11.2 and these seems to be plenty of clearance. Just...

    35's with a 2" lift?

    Anyone done it? From looking through responses to previous tire size questions it seems even my 285/75/16's (32.8") wouldn't fit, but they do. Wishful thinking, and I'm not even sure I would like them, but wondering if I can put these on my hoe. A dealer will snap these up soon and ask $1500...

    2015 rims on a 1996?

    Someone has a set of 2015 Tahoe 18" rims and 95% Michelin tires for only $400. It would cost me at least 2x that just for a set of tires that I will need very soon. I'm not crazy about them but they look decent. Better if I painted them black. Currently have 17" rims and truck has been...
