    Anyone have one of these? How is parts availability? Are they reliable?

    Sway Bar Links and Suspension Lift

    Well I did it. Flipped the bar and the stock length links worked. What a pain getting everything in though. The truck handles much better with the larger front sway bar. I was having problems with the truck wanting to yaw in turns. Overall much better the tahoe tracks steady down the road.

    Sway Bar Links and Suspension Lift

    I have this posted on another forum but I thought I would ask here as well for more input. I have a 99 two door Tahoe with a 6 inch RCD suspension lift. I was going to install a thicker front sway bar to help with oversteer issues. The links on this suspension kit are longer to accommodate the...

    What did you do to your OBS GMT400 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    I had a guy build it locally. He does stuff for land rovers as his business. I told him what I wanted and this is what came out. He was pretty pumped with how it turned out and hoped he would get opportunities to build some more obs bumpers.

    What did you do to your OBS GMT400 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Put some lights on my new bumper. They still need aimed. I might put a third one on if these don't drain the battery.

    Ok now what

    Well I have always considered getting a new throttle body but I was never sold on whether or not it made that big a difference. Thanks foreverfalcon40, I contacted your buddy and I'm going to buy his off of him.

    Alright I've got the PCM swapped and everything is running a little bit better now. I even activated the tow haul switch which will be a nice feature when driving through the mountains, the truck can be kind of a dog trying to get up the mountains and it's tough on the transmission with the...

    Ok I have two options: 1. A cam and a custom dyno tune for around $2000 installed Or 2. A new built up 383 for around $4000 which I would put in.

    Ok now what

    I was going to do a tune once I completed the cam, heads, or both. These are the cams I was looking at: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/crn-109811 http://www.summitracing.com/parts/lun-20080660/overview/make/chevrolet http://www.summitracing.com/parts/cro-00462/overview/make/chevrolet...

    So I just installed a new exhaust system with thorley headers and so far have really been impressed with the improvement. My truck moves effortlessly now with my larger tires and the transmission does not have to hunt for the proper gear as much. So my question is now what? I still want to...

    Exhaust system with a shackle flip

    Got the headers installed with complete exhaust. Truck sounds great, but there is a problem something is banging around in the highway. I'm not sure where it's coming from yet. Otherwise I am really happy the truck no longer feels bogged down due to the tires and lift. Now it's time to start...

    Steering will jerk while cornering.

    Problem gone!!!! This is such a quick and easy fix I wish I had done this long ago.

    Steering will jerk while cornering.

    I have the same problem and stumbled upon this thread today. I ordered the sensor and it will be here for me to install this weekend. I hope this fixes the problem. My issue is exactly as described feeling like you're hitting a patch of black ice then the truck making an aggressive turn into...

    Exhaust system with a shackle flip

    The lift I put on as an RCD knuckle lift with Bilstein shocks all the way around. You'll notice in the picture the red bushing that was a replacement after the exhaust was cut. The heat from the exhaust melted the bushings that were in there and had to be replaced the exhaust then was slightly...

    Exhaust system with a shackle flip

    Is there any issues/benefit to using a reducer? My headers have a 2 1/2 inch collector and I am thinking that 2 1/2 inch is too big and I might want to use 2 1/4 inch pipe instead.

    Exhaust system with a shackle flip

    Well, I have finished off lifting my suspension by installing an ORD shackle flip on my 99 two door. Next up is the entire exhaust system. I am posting this to see what other people with a 2 door and shackle flip did with there system. Once installed there is not a lot of room out the back...

    Noise disappears in neutral

    Well after looking everything over again today we came to the conclusion the issue is in the transmission not either of the differentials. So its off to a mechanic next week.

    Noise disappears in neutral

    Ok I am a little ignorant on this 10 bolt swap I just want to be 100% before I buy this weekend. The axle I found is a 14 bolt 9.5in ring gear 6 lug with posi and same gear ratio. The spring perches line up as well as the shock mounts. Do I need anything else from the donor car other than...

    Noise disappears in neutral

    In doing a SF 14 bolt swap I know you need a new U joint, is that it? I have also read you need new U bolts. If so, why?
