    MPG Stinks after front dif and transfer case replacement

    The Range AFM delete is on my list but I wanted to make sure my shop couldn't just do it for me before I shell out $200. You think an o2 sensor/wire could cause such a mpg loss? You know, come to think about it my son walked behind my truck last month and said it smelled rich. hmmm I also...

    MPG Stinks after front dif and transfer case replacement

    What are the symptoms of AFM going bad? My truck only has 68000 miles on it, I thought Id be immune to this problem for at least a bit longer?

    MPG Stinks after front dif and transfer case replacement

    I haven't a clue but always suspect it, and thats the problem with this Wizard of Oz behind the curtain BS that too many of us are made to endure or succumb to. Im a hacker at heart, and I truly believe if you want something done right you have to it yourself. Unfortunately doing things...

    MPG Stinks after front dif and transfer case replacement

    I dont currently have a scanner but maybe one of the auto parts places will plug up for me real quick....but with my luck I can just about guarantee that no o2 code will return. That would be way too easy. lol

    MPG Stinks after front dif and transfer case replacement

    Test complete. Took it to a parking lot and drove in the tightest circle possible in both directions. Nothing! No squeaks, no binding no lurching notta! But something did come to mind: When replacing the transfer case they said the the O2 sensor wire was wrapped around a drive shaft. They...

    Just finished mattress insert for camping

    Dont get me wrong, thats a mighty fine job but,...Im getting claustrophobic just looking at it. I had this immediate vision of paramedics and fire trucks surrounding my vehicle, radios blaring, disturbing the morning peace and serenity of other campers while they cut my morbidly obese ass out...

    MPG Stinks after front dif and transfer case replacement

    I'm on it John! And thank you for the suggestion! I'm slammed most of the day today but I surely can find time for this test and get back to you with the results asap. I'm 100% positive that its not in 4-wheel drive but I'm pretty sure that even in 2-wheel drive the frt diff binds a bit and...

    MPG Stinks after front dif and transfer case replacement

    Ok, had my son place his cell phone under the truck while I drove slowly over it... My front drive shaft going to the transfer case is turning. I'm not in four wheel drive. Is this correct operation?

    MPG Stinks after front dif and transfer case replacement

    Where is the best place to get it? Been looking online but results are far and wide. Can it disable my AFM? You wouldn't happen to have a part number or link would you? Thanks again James!

    MPG Stinks after front dif and transfer case replacement

    Holy cow.. I dont know why this never occurred to me,....the possibility of the first shops "mental midgets" installing the wrong differential altogether! (wrong gear ratio) Is this even possible? Would it even drive? The last shop supposedly checked it... my gear ratio is the 3.73 ....I've...

    MPG Stinks after front dif and transfer case replacement

    Thanks for the reply swathdiver, I've been looking to get a good scanner. Most of them I've been looking at really can't tell me much more than what the DIC already does. What scanner would you recommend? My differential is not engaged but squealing is still there are dry pavement. I don't...

    MPG Stinks after front dif and transfer case replacement

    Hello everybody, loving this forum and all the people who make it great! Thank you! Short version: I have terrible MPG now after a front differential and transfer-case replacement. Went from 16mpg in city to 11.1. Long version: Last winter I took my 2007 Tahoe into the shop to have them...

    Upper Strut or lower strut?

    Thats a beautiful truck iamdub! Im still confused. While shopping for kits I see them with just the lower strut spacer, just the upper strut spacer, or a mixture of both.

    Upper Strut or lower strut?

    Hello all! I have a 07 Tahoe and Im about to level it out. I've seen people use both upper strut spacers and lower strut spacers, and now I've seen people use a mixture of upper and lower front strut spacers to achieve there overall level. Are there any advantages to using both upper and lower...

    American Automotive 2.5" Leveling kit (Bad Quality)

    Ordered this set of leveling spacers off Amazon from a company called "American Automotive". Although the sticker inside said "Road Fury truck lifts" so Im not really sure who exactly makes them. The welds are horrific, they look as though they were hot glued together and painted... I dont have...
