    NP246 Rebuild - Experiences? Clutches necessary?

    I got my parts from All State Gear and all of the bearings are Nachi and made in Japan. I've never had an issue with Nachi bearings. I believe I have Nachi bearings on my rear wheels, actually.

    NP246 Rebuild - Experiences? Clutches necessary?

    Question. Does anyone know if it's worth it/necessary/possible to install the "updated clutch return spring" in an NP246 without one? I got all my parts, but keep seeing this come up on websites...

    Do our trucks have variable voltage at the alternator?

    I just installed a new (not reman) Remy 145a alternator and it whines like a somabich. I figured maybe it's gonna break in. Nope, wines. Returning it. But one thing I noticed was that randomly my volt meter showed it sink to 12V similar to my 2014 Silverado does when the charging system sees...

    Recommend Me A Transmission Rebuilder in the Atlanta Area

    My truck has 200K+ on it with an untouched transmission. I mean... it's time.

    Recommend Me A Transmission Rebuilder in the Atlanta Area

    My 4L60E was starting to exhibit some shudder between 1-2 and it'd seem to slip (almost like the TC was in and out of lock) in 4th gear. I decided to chuck a parts cannon at it to see if I fix it with the usual solenoid, accumulator, and servo outpatient surgery and see what happens. The 1-2...

    Maybe Y'all Have An Idea - Whine Follows RPM

    So... I have a whine that follows engine RPM. It sounds JUST LIKE when you put an aftermarket stereo in and have a bad ground and get RPM whine through the speakers, but I disconnected the amp I have installed and the noise remains (and the noise was there beforehand anyway). I have, for other...

    Awd not engaging

    Are you potentially slipping into 4LO?

    Are keys and new shocks needed to remove rake?

    To level my truck side to side and at the height I wanted it, one key is cranked way more than the other. Measures great on level ground but... don't expect the keys to be adjusted exactly the same.

    What is normal fan/fan clutch behavior on cold start?

    Yeah, my only issue is this is my land vehicle and occasionally I need to back out in offroad situations or backup up steep hills. Otherwise I wouldn't care as much.

    What is normal fan/fan clutch behavior on cold start?

    Interesting. Well... I guess I'll warranty and replace it just in case. I have bigger problems... today my trans started slipping in reverse if I hit the gas more than just slightly above idle. Ug...

    What is normal fan/fan clutch behavior on cold start?

    What is normal fan/fan clutch behavior on cold start on a cold day? Mine seems to be locked up with the fan spinning on cold engine and stays this way until I drive for a few miles (you can hear the fan spinning full tilt and blowing air with engine speed). Once I'm out driving, it seems to...

    Stupid high prices on Eskys' and Denali's

    I don't have an Escalade or Denali, but a 2002 Tahoe LT with the locker and 3.73s that's never left Georgia. I paid $4800 for it, rebuilt the front suspension and changed fluids, and put some take off 2014 wheels on which already had damn near new Bridgestone K02s on them. I was just offered...

    Duel battery/radio question

    Consider getting a Odyssey. Optima batteries haven't been that great in the past few years.

    Anyone feel the Bilstein 4600s aren't that great?

    I have to wonder if my bigger, heavier tire/wheel setup is to blame, though. It wasn't an issue with the stock shocks but they were "smooth ride" shocks.

    Anyone feel the Bilstein 4600s aren't that great?

    I've been doing some experimental bump testing and am highly suspicious of only the front right shock right now. I'm going to warranty out one of them, see what happens.

    Anyone feel the Bilstein 4600s aren't that great?

    I engaged Bilstein and they're giving me things to look at all the way through the sector shaft of the steering box, which is a rebuild. I don't have steering issues, though, I have tire bounce issues. They said I can warranty replace with RockAuto if I want, so I probably will. I almost want...

    Anyone feel the Bilstein 4600s aren't that great?

    I got that P/N from RockAuto - doubt they were counterfeit from them. Price was lower than elsewhere because it's RockAuto, but I earned it back in shipping cost, so... a wash mostly. I have my torsion bars set so the height of the front has both sides of the LCA contact pad just touching...

    Anyone feel the Bilstein 4600s aren't that great?

    I have brand new bump stops, sway bar end links, and all of the ball joints and bushings in the front suspension are replaced except for the sway bar bushings, which appear to be fine. I will replace them anyway, but this is a tire bouncing up and down not body role issues.

    Anyone feel the Bilstein 4600s aren't that great?

    I installed Bilstein 4600's on my 2002 which has oversized BFG AT tires on 2014 Silverado wheels. I mention that because the tire/wheel combo is certainly heavier than any stock wheel configuration -- otherwise, that's the only difference from stock when it comes to suspension. Well, that and...

    Duel battery/radio question

    It doesn't matter which battery you connect your amplifiers to UNLESS you are isolating one battery for vehicle-off reserve (running the stereo with the engine off) OR you have an isolated high end battery (like an Optima Yellow Top or one of those car audio batteries) and want to run the system...

    Front/Driver 4WD Half Shaft Loose/Wobbles

    It's like the bearing is not supporting it. Last night, I did some investigation and pulled the stub shaft out, looked it over (looks fine), felt up the new bearing to see if maybe it's broken (it seems fine), and checked the CV axle (I think it's fine, too). Reinstalled the stub shaft and...

    Image Dynamics ID8 Subwoofer Fits In The Factory Box, Sounds Wonderful

    Like everyone else on the face of the planet with a Tahoe/Suburban, my factory subwoofer was toast. Did some research and went with this Image Dynamics ID8 for $90 (purchased from a small business). It fits in there like it was made for it (no cutting required) and sounds great with the 230...

    Check Your Rear Axles!

    Replaced my rear axle bearings and seals the other day. One of them was leaking a small bit so... did 'em all. Found a bad axle on the driver side (see photo). Not sure how it happened, but it happened - truck has 193K. Passenger side looked brand new. Anyway, went looking around for...
