    I’m back with an Esky this time

    What does it feel like after torque management is turned off? And, what else would you turn off? I’m thinking all the DOD stuff for sure, what else? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Debating on a suburban

    Agree. I have ‘95 K2500 (TBI BBC 454) but I’ve had a GMT900 Denali with the 6.2 for context, and I’d say take the opportunity to look for the unicorn - 2500 GMT900 suburban. They only made them through 2012. Maybe I’m just getting old, and I love my K2500, but the GMT900’s are just so nice...

    OEM Trailer Brake Controller

    Any info? Haven't found much optimism on the www, although plenty of Amazon recommendations that put the following three products together, so someone must be doing this. Any info? Put any one of the following on Amazon, and the other three will show up in a package: ACDelco 20850923 GM...

    No oil pressure at start up, 2001 Tahoe

    You've got to take the front off. I looked at an oil pump too, wish I could have done that at the same time. I was just trying to get the rig back up, given it was my wife's only ride to truck around our kids... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    No oil pressure at start up, 2001 Tahoe

    There was another post that said this could be done without dropping the diff. So, probably could be done. I just chose to pull it all down and power through since it was all pretty easy to get to. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    No oil pressure at start up, 2001 Tahoe

    Ended up being the oil pickup grommet failed. About an $8 grommet did all this. Fixed it, I have some other posts... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    This guy... put this in my 2007 Denali!

    I've seen that video too, pretty awesome 'Hoe. There is a thread talking about all the computer mess that needs to be updated to do one of our NBB rigs that explain why this hasn't been done yet on one of ours. Who wants to start a new business up here in the NW! NW Manual Upgrades...

    Dumb Denali 14 bolt converstion question

    This is AWD, doesn't have the 14 bolt. The BW4485 had a bearing explode a couple months back, and the replacement kit squeaked something bad after I rebuilt it - when I was installing, I had one bearing feel "off" a bit, and thinking twice about just reusing the old one I instead used the new...

    Dumb Denali 14 bolt converstion question

    Short question: would a lift kit for a 2500 be a good route to go if I want to swap 14 bolt rear end and upgrade to HD 2500 front IFS on a 2007 Denali? (This would likely include some other upgrades noted below) Long story: I really like my '07 Denali. The body style and interior from...

    Drop in oil pressure

    Right on. It makes no sense to me how much havoc that little grommet causes when you lose pressure. When mine went there were a couple other warning lights that went off, I think stability control, CEL, low oil. That fixed it all.

    Drop in oil pressure

    Pan. To get my pan down I had to pull a lot of stuff: front crossmember, diff, steering, etc. if you could get your pan off without taking a bunch of stuff off, you're luckier than I. It's like a $5 part but a bunch of big bolt stuff to get to it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Drop in oil pressure

    Sounds like when my oil pickup grommet went out. I have a thread on here somewhere. When it goes, it is just rubber - after years of heat it turns to more like plastic and breaks into pieces... when oil is cold or at high revs enough is flowing to give you some pressure, but when you get...

    BW4485 rebuild - index marks

    I think I’ve solved the alignment of the BW4485 when putting it back together. Trial and error wins out again. I didn’t take a picture, and don’t want to put it back together again so let me try to explain for those that find themselves in my shoes: The sun gear has a notch on the inside...

    BW4485 rebuild - index marks

    Can anyone tell me if the planetary needs to be reassembled with index marks pointing a certain way? 2007 Denali rebuild of the BW4485. upon reassembly, my planetary gear seems to bind up a bit. I haven't been able to locate any instructions regarding index marks for reassembly online... I...

    Nope. I changed the oil/filter, but that doesn't really count. Good luck. C heck back and let us know how it went. And take pics. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    IMPORTANT: The Chronicles of Low Oil Pressure by 07burb

    @CobraKing - I don't. Went to the dealership parts counter on a quiet morning and went screen by screen on the computer with the lady at the counter to make sure I got the right thing. I actually got the grommet and an oil pan gasket, that was it.

    How many miles will we get out of our Yukons / Tahoes?

    08 Denali, 170k. Oil pickup grommet let loose, no oil pressure, fixed that. Tranny is fading fast. What I think (hope) is the t-case just exploded, FML. It must have had the piss driven out of it in another life, but I'm looking at replacing the entire drivetrain. And, because of the oil...

    Welcome to the service Vortex... FML...

    Acceleration, less at higher speeds. Torque converter... I think it's the transfer case, or front diff because it is on the driver side. I sat on the passenger side to let someone else feel it and it was less noticeable. I'm less certain now if it is the tcase or diff. I might just rebuild...
