    Repair Of Front SwayBar Frame Mount

    Ha, I didn’t think about that. I sprayed down the mount with etching primer, then good auto black paint. Driver side was rusty but solid. Ended up giving away the truck to a friend in need couple years later. He’s still pushing it.

    Repair Of Front SwayBar Frame Mount

    The passenger side is where the AC condensate drain discharges. It provides a constant supply of water that drips down into that sway bar cup. My 07 went a couple years ago. Did the same repair with rockstar results

    Adding Rear Sway Bars

    I second the Helwig. On advice from here I replaced both front and rear sway bars in my 2011. Huge difference. As stated by others, not sure how this will effect a two door.

    2011 Z71 Front end pics/bull bar/fogs/grill upgrade

    I really like the look. I have a 2011 Z71 in silver, and that front trim piece (the one you painted) is in very bad shape. Did you do anything special to paint it? How did you do it?

    Sway bar attachment rotting out

    Not only that but it gets clogged with rust and debris as well. I wire brushed mine, used etching primer and good automotive paint to help keep them from deteriorating. Also, the AC condensate drain discharges over top of the passenger side mount providing a constant supply of water. Like you...

    Sway bar attachment rotting out

    I had this exact problem on my old 07. There is a replacement part, if I can locate it I will post it. I took the truck to a collision place and they cut out the old mount, cleaned up the area, welded in the new mount, and it was good as new. Part, shipping and labor was under $400. I don’t...

    Mechanic Recommendations Needed : Wash DC area

    In Woodbridge VA, easy access to 95. Caton Hill Auto. Independent, family owned and established over 80 years. I lost my previous mechanic when I moved. Tried a few different shops and then ended up at Caton Hill. They are busy and sometimes it may take a bit to get an appointment but they...

    Can my VIN be wrong???

    If you PM me the VIN, I can put it through Carfax and tell you what comes back. If you haven’t already gotten that info. Glad that the ECM, door sticker and windshield match. That’s a headache you don’t need.

    Can my VIN be wrong???

    OP…… it very possible this is as claimed by others a revin, or clone. Good thieves will make minor alterations to a VIN so that it appears correct in the first 6 characters, keeps the check digit correct for year of vehicle, and has altered last 6 characters which may or may not correspond to...

    Vacation question: Anyone use a luggage hitch?

    I have used several different ones to haul scuba gear to Florida for cavern/cave diving. They all work depending on your preferred methods and need of water proofing. My biggest input would be weight limit. I have seen these carriers lined with scuba tanks which is a fair amount of weight...

    P0300 random misfire

    I was having a similar issue in cold weather. Truck would start, run about 1 min then cough, sputter and throw codes for a few minutes and then smooth out. It was only cold start, and went away once engine warmed. For me I traced it to the intake manifold gaskets. Always got P0300, but had...

    Switching to Z71 rear suspension

    I went from an 07 Tahoe LS to an 11 Z71 Tahoe. The stock height Z71 is only about 1.5 taller, and to me it makes the truck look better than an oversized station wagon. The previous owner did a level lift on the 11 so it probably sits 2.5-3 inches taller than a non Z71 stock Tahoe. I recently...

    Stolen, recovered, not cluster issues.

    Good morning, To me the answer should come from what was damaged during the theft? Did they tear up the ignition, steering column, or any other electrical dependent system to take your truck. What was damaged under the truck in the process of cutting out the CATs because they didn’t care about...

    Springs and sway bar two part question

    Just a quick follow up…….. thank you all for the great advice. Got both front and rear Hellwig sways, along with a Spohn adjustable Panhard. My lift isn’t much but it did displace the rear axle to the passenger side enough for me to notice. Everything is in and the first ride was...

    Springs and sway bar two part question

    I put a front Hellwig on my 07 when the mount broke and was repaired, but I didn’t have the truck long after that. Never had a chance to evaluate it.
