    worn out shock bushing?

    Yeah replacing a shock because of a worn bushing is overkill. However, the bushing should have lasted also. Not sure how the geometry changed with the suspension lift, but it might have put additional stress on the bushing and the shock (also from larger/heavier tires/wheels). IMO the stock...

    3.73 gears are in the esky.

    Love my 4.10s :). I test drove the lower ratios and did not like it. How does it suck on the highway? Seems ok to me, but keep in mind I have the 4l60e.

    Trail grapplers

    Are you trying to put a spacer kit on top of another spacer kit? I do not think that the OE Z71 wheels will accommodate those size tires. Nitto recommends these widths 8.5-(10.0)-11.0. Not sure what the OE size is.

    worn out shock bushing?

    Wow, you are still running the factory shock with that much lift. How many miles with that shock? IMO replace that shock with one that can accomodate the lift and also I would think it would be close to being replaced any way. If you are thinking about replacing the bushing, do you have a...

    Poor Gas Mileage After Tune Up

    Check the spark plug gaps, confirm connections are tight, and throttle position relearn was done correctly.

    Oil consumption tests done

    Did you switch to synthetic when you first bought the truck then started having consumption issues? Again just curious, because when I first bought the truck I switched to synthetic. However, it started having weird grinding type noises shortly after. I did some research and found there may...

    02 gmc yukon, question about leveling or lifting?

    You'll need keys and spacers to level, but check the NBS section as noted by SPL.

    4l60E does anyone think its the sunshell please help!

    Go have it checked out. No way to know what the problem is by your description. Our 4L60E took a dump at around 50k and it turned out to be a sprag that was covered under warranty. Good luck.

    2012 LTZ falls on its face...

    That is how the 6-speed tranny feels and it is a common complaint.

    New look!

    Looks good. IMO without the running boards the front bumper looks like it hangs too low and looks funny.

    Does a CAI really improve engine performance ?

    I did not notice any gains (power or mpgs) from CAI or exhaust alone. The throttle response was better and it sounded awesome, but no noticable gains. Yes the engine is like an air pump, but if you increase the amount of air flowing through the fuel will also be increase to keep the sustain...

    2012 LTZ falls on its face...

    The 6-speed tranny is funky itself. Assuming you have bigger diameter tires/wheels the odo is off adding to the apparent loss in mpgs. Blackbear will take care of it :Handshake:...

    bad-ass suburban seen in nola

    Yeah they only attach to the tow hook points. Not really intended for protection, looks good though. Creeto, still have your rig or did you sell it?

    2011 3.42 gears VS 2008 3.73 gears --bigger tires

    Did the 08' have the same 6-speed tranny? Just curious. Cost is about $800 per axel.

    4" lift on 33's next to a 6" lift on 35's - pic's

    Looks good to me. IMO any higher does not look right.

    installed the 3.5" lift on sat... here's pics

    Read in the other thread that your rig is 2WD so no CVs. Never mind the additional pics, but thanks anyway.

    Rough Country 3.5 inch lift - thoughts?

    Geez, if you go through the thread, there are some issues. Sounds related to larger/heavier tires though. Fix was beefier bushings, upper control arms and ball joints.

    Looks good. Do you have install pics? Curious of CV angles.

    EBC brakes - what color?

    Greenstuff with their slotted rotors. I have 33" heavy mud tires and they work well.

    2014 cadillac escalade

    FYI Infinitis are not junk. Yes the FX is small and can't compare to a truck for size, but that does not make it junk. I had a G35 coupe for nine years, daily driver, and 50k miles. Same engine as the FX35 and just regular maintenance, no issues the entire time. I also had a QX4 which had...

    Level and 33" Nitto Mud Grapplers

    Looks good. Raining... Find a good offroad spot and use those mud tires :p! Yeah that is what I thought when I first saw the pics, blacked out grill would look awesome.
