Amazon was selling a box of 10 Ancos for about $30. Figured they would last 5 years but then we bought the Sierra and my oldest daughter's Impala takes our size too!

Yesterday we got around to replacing the tie rods on the Sierra. Our Pro-Lift 3-Ton jack stands are barely tall enough to reach the bottom of the frame, we used two on the side we were working on and lifted from under the control arm until the tire was clear of the ground. The ACDelco 3-Ton stands were too short. I think we'll eventually pick up some 4 or 6 ton stands, they can lift above 14 inches.

Everything went off without a hitch until we put the new ones together and checked our measurements. The new ones were over an inch longer! It was then we noticed that the inner and outer tie rods had been cut down. I pulled up the instructions for the Zone 6.5 Lift and sure enough, they said to cut them each down 1/2 an inch. Guess I forgot that part! So we put the old parts back on and will either take the new parts to a machine shop to be cut or maybe I'll get that new band saw I've been pining for five years!

My Torin 6 ton stands go up to 24", but I hardly ever use them. I use my Crossroads 3 ton stands the most, they go up to 21", and I have 2 sets of 2 ton stands.

dropped it off at the dealer yesterday with the hummer motor mount I bought a month or two ago and for a mobile1 oil change
BOY the engine mount sure made a big difference, the engine barely budges now with the gas/brake test, before it would move quite a bit by comparison.
no more take off and downshift clunk.
there may be some slight additional engine idle feel now but I wasn't really paying attention to that before and it's fine with me just lets me know if she is purring good or not.

Really, how much does a guy like you idle? I'd bet not much!

lol, sometimes at red lights, occasionally in a drive thru. Stop signs are questionable....

mine is always idling 1000 rpm > is idling while clocking on teh miles



45 mph = 1050rpm

basically 500-1000 rpm is considered idling 4 bangers idle at 1krpm or so

So here's a question for you all....

Do you have dust caps on your front hubs?

Right after I bought my 2011 Denali used I had to replace the lower ball joints and front wheel bearings/hubs for it to pass inspection. When ordering parts for that, I also ordered dust caps because it didn't have them.

Now jump to my 2012 and I've noticed it doesn't have dust covers either.

Are they supposed to? Do they need them, since the bearings are sealed in the hubs?

 

[Doubeleive]

no dust caps on mine and I am pretty sure the hubs are original still I bought it at 82k, now at 137k so I probably have a couple more years to go still, I check them once in a while there still tight.

Dammit one MORE thing GM shortchanged us when going from the GMT800 to GMT900 platform. Cabin air filters, under hood, footwell and door panel lights, etc etc etc and now dust caps!

Truck went to the upholstery on Monday for new seats and blacking out the interior. They dropped the headliner and said you have a sh*tload of wires under there. I said cut em all. Lol!

I'd love to get my headliner and pillars blacked or greyed out. I hate the white on gray shark look.

@Rocket Man less weight for lower ET.

Oh yeah they did it for the mpg!

They had to pinch pennies somewhere to pay the govt back from the bailout

EDIT: My bad, they didn't have to pay the govt back, lol

 

[RooTBeeRthe1st]

Yeah they do. I have some from superbrightleds.com and they definitely help backing down my dark driveway lol

I used to use them a long long time ago. Nowwa days I usually just find Cree bulbs on amazon or something. Can't go wrong with Cree.

Funny you mention this, I was just thinking the same thing myself the other day!

The 2009 Yukon does not have them, the 2012 Sierra does have them.

I reckon the cap protects the spindle nut from getting rusty.
