    Dorman SS brake line kit

    Are those the braided SS ones to replace the rubber lines? I know my brakes are squishy, Im sure they will need to be replaced.

    Preparing to replace 4L60e myself.

    Thanks. I remember using 3' of extensions and swivels trying to get at the top bell housing bolts on the Benz trannies. So it's the same?

    Preparing to replace 4L60e myself.

    217k mile Transmission is flaring 1-2 and slipping from 2-3. Although shifts fine when cold. Ive got a bunch of youtube videos and downloaded the service manual in preparation to replacing my trans with a rebuilt unit from RockAuto. I have never done this before on a GM. I worked at a Mercedes...

    Please HELP! Power Seat Motor.

    Update: No luck, I tried using another switch off a junkyard truck, same thing. The motor works, just in reverse. I even hooked up a replacement motor from the junkyard and did the same thing (activates in reverse and nothing forward-except for a click on the tiny relay in the memory seat...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Thanks. Only a few hours. It would suck to do this by hand. The old 10" random orbit buffer did great. Yeah, it came out nice for only using stuff you can buy at Walmart. Apparently ALL whistles are very clean??? lol

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    clay bar, wax cleaner, carnuba wax. Paint is pretty decent considering it's got 13 years and 216,000 miles on it in MD/DC salty laden roads.

    What is this part?

    While using the the random orbit buffer on the Yukon this weekend, something fell off when I went over the passenger side headlight, i heard something fall to the ground. This is what I found, I have no idea what it's for?

    Fixed cluster

    Video I watched for fixing the dim PRND321. (6 total resisters) Mine would not illuminate at all and failed MD safety inspection. Easy as pie. It doesnt take much, one resister just stuck o the tip of my soldering iron, so you may need to hold it down with a toothpick or very small...

    Let's see some depo head lights

    Sure, but it's a Yukon. I like the factory look, like it rolled off the showroom floor. You get teh idea, of the crystal clean look they have. I installed JDM ASTAR Amber DRL LED 3157 bulbs.

    Let's see some depo head lights

    I got the factory OEM look Depo head lamp assembly for the right side. The OEM look parking/marker light assembiles look nice and fit perfect like stock. It has better light output than the GM replacement on on the left, as well as better cut-off.
