    What's the verdict on DJM control arms?

    2006 Escalade, 120k miles. I saw in other threads where people complained about the ride/steering quality after switching to DJM lower control arms with 3" lowering. One guy said he was going to switch to DJM uppers to see if it made a difference, but I didn't see any updates. So what's the...

    4L60-E hard shift from first to second gear

    Sorry, that should have said "causing UNmetered air to enter the intake."

    4L60-E hard shift from first to second gear

    Thanks for chiming in. I've heard that about the force motor before, although I've always been under the impression that my problem was caused by excessive pressure, not a lack of it. Still good info. I think most people simply replace the force motor, not knowing they can be adjusted. I...

    Upholstered/wood door panel?

    Niiiice, thanks! I'll start researching those companies. I mostly just want the styling on the doors.. personally, I think the wood looks tacky on the dash because it's a light color and doesnt seem to match the doors very well. Like I said, the doors are really what I'm after. @Donnie...

    How to restore the seats? ?

    Great write-up! I'll definitely be hitting up the folks at Katzkin and/or the shop for a quote. I'm curious about the upholstery on your door in the picture - I'm guessing that was done in the shop also, or was that something you added aftermarket yourself? How much did it cost, etc? I...

    Upholstered/wood door panel?

    Hi all. I'm curious if anyone is familiar with the manufacturer of these mods: The "carpeted" areas of my upper door panels were stained since before I bought the truck, and I'd much rather add the mod above, rather than trying to clean/dye the carpet'ish material. At the same time, I'd...

    Side Mirrors

    Delco part number Does anyone have the AC Delco (or GM) part numbers for Delco side power mirrors for a 99 Yukon? I'm in need of a set, and I once found a bunch of them on Amazon for a decent price (a little under $150 each), but I'd rather not rely solely on their site to verify fitment. I...

    Consensus on upgraded brakes

    Ok will do. I thought maybe the 8400s would not bolt up directly. So I'll get 3500 calipers and a 3500 MC then. BTW Dylan, thanks for the write-up on your truck with the interior lights and such. I hope to do the same to mine soon. You're fortunate to be in Boca, right in Dan Maslic's...

    Consensus on upgraded brakes

    Ok so I take it the calipers and master cylinder are all that's necessary. Should I use the 7200 GVWR parts, or the 8400?

    Consensus on upgraded brakes

    I'll be doing all of the above, though it sounds like the 2500 upgrade will work fine in my application, even with ABS. The motivation for the 2500 upgrade is larger calipers with more surface area on the cylinders. It's my understanding that you can run those calipers with nothing more than...

    Consensus on upgraded brakes

    Hi all.. 99 Yukon C1500 here with 97k miles. For the last 2k miles I've been running with 22 inch rims.. what an upgrade over stock! But now I'm concerned about the brakes. With the way I drive, I'm not too terribly concerned about braking distances and such, as long as the brakes could be...

    New Tranny???

    I don't have much to contribute, except that it's really strange you blew the ENG-1 but didn't definitely find the cause of it. Looking at the schematic for that fuse, it should've been obvious what caused it to blow, or it should've kept blowing. The guys at the chevytalk.org forum are...

    AC Compressor Not Pulling Freon

    The only way you're going to get more than half a can of freon into your system in any reasonable amount of time, is by running the compressor. I personally have never seen the need to jumper the cycling switch (and in fact, if you left it that way and you had a leak, your brand new compressor...

    Another tire/rim question....(yes, I searched)

    You do realize those rims are 6-bolt and the 1999 and older trucks are 5-bolt, right?

    99 a/c low side leak

    It's fairly simple, you just need a valve tool. Evacuate the system, pull the valve, screw in a new one, recharge. Note that you might also be able to get away with replacing the low side cap with a metal one that has a hex shaped head and an o-ring inside, and wrenching it on good and snug...

    Passlock II SECURITY light and truck won't start!

    Let me contribute one other thing to this topic. Like others in this thread, I've postulated that alarm bypass boxes could be used to bypass Passlock. Not the ones that emulate a resistor, but the ones that wrap the TDM by sending the same serial string as a TDM would send down the CAN bus...

    1996 tahoe ac problems

    No, you don't want to replace only the o-tube if it's messy. What would that solve? By that logic, you could simply blow it out. Rather, if it's cloudy there's a reason, and more times than not, it's caused by debris deposited into the system by the compressor (i.e. because of the breakdown...

    Passlock II SECURITY light and truck won't start!

    A follow-up to my Passlock problems. I got brave and decided to change my battery. My 550 CCA that I had in there had worn down to about 490 and it was adversely affecting my ability to spin that big starter around (it would stop spinning momentarily when the computer would advance ignition...

    1996 tahoe ac problems

    You can open the image, right-click, Save it, then email it or do whatever you want with it. Given that your system only needs 36 oz. for a full charge as per spec, perhaps you have a blockage somewhere. "conventional wisdom" says that if your evaporator input/output pipes vary in temperature...

    AC Leak By Right Rear Wheel Well

    If you do replace the line, which isn't a bad recommendation by any means, you might also end up replacing what's on the other side of it at the firewall. In the case of my 99 Yukon and in several others I've read, the factory used hoses with two different types of metal, resulting in threads...

    A/C questions 99 tahoe

    +1. I can't tell what you're "paper clipping" because the picture you sent doesn't show a paper clip. Hopefully it was to the low side cycling switch and not something else. If you heard the motor rev a little, it could be because the computer thinks the compressor was commanded on and gave...

    AC Leak By Right Rear Wheel Well

    You've probably just got a bad O-ring there. Try copping a set of O-rings for your truck and replacing; Four Seasons makes a kit with a few of every kind. Now, as to what kind of oil you should coat it with when you replace it, is a subject of confusion for me. I've seen some people suggest...

    Passlock II SECURITY light and truck won't start!

    Ahh yeah, my version of the guide says it works in all Camaros between 88 and 02. For the benefit of everyone else (i.e. people who may come across this thread via google), I'm going to copy/paste the complete list of compatible vehicles according to the guide I purchased from NewRockies. Note...

    Passlock II SECURITY light and truck won't start!

    You realize that won't work on a 99 or an 04 Tahoe right? Hopefully you had another vehicle in mind. That DIY circuit from NewRockies is only for Passkey/VATS systems - ones that have an "injector enable" line. Per what I said above, I also had to find that out the "hard way" as they didn't...

    ~ A/C questions ~

    The crap you're describing is likely part of one or more compressor cylinders (I believe our compressors have 16) disintegrating and depositing regurgitated metal particulate into the system. It will look like a fine silver powder - think like Arm & Hammer baking soda mixed with water, but...
