    High clearance bumper on Yukon

    New daily

    If you've never had a 4x4 with a straight front axle, know and understand that bad ball joints, tie rod ends, bushings or loose bolts will make your life miserable. A good steering stabilizer will mask some of the issues, but you will want to make sure that the front suspension is is good repair.

    Trading an 01 tahoe for a 90 k2500 suburban

    Not sure I could convince the wife to go for a trade like that, but I would consider it. Would probably have a hard time saying no if it had the 6.2l diesel in it. A banks turbo or the turbo setup off the 6.5 and they aren't half bad.

    Motor Mount / Tq Converter damage after accident - how to prove?

    Creeping along in traffic is not a situation where I would expect the shock from impact to result in damage to the torque converter. The frame was tweaked/bent, motor mounts broken, and possibly trans mount broken/damaged? I would look at the possibility of wires or connectors being damaged by...

    Disc Trailer Brakes and Integrated Brake Controller "workaround"

    Isn't electric over hydraulic disc or drum brakes the more common of the electronically controlled trailer brake setups? Even if it is not, I would expect that, unless there is a warning that I overlooked in the manual, there is no issue for the built in controller on the 2500 to control those...

    Silence of the Hub

    When you apply the heat, make sure that you have the parts kit ready. It has the two rubber boots and the rubber sleeve for the end of the one bolt. I don't typically use a thread locking compound on the caliper mount brackets, and I've never had an issue with a mount coming loose on or off...

    Silence of the Hub

    Sounds good. Why RED locktight on the guide pins, especially when you do not mention using any on the caliper bracket bolts? I am betting that your next brake job will become a bit of a PITA.

    New to GM and have questions

    Welcome and congrats on your purchase! You've found your way to the 2007-2014 section, but the answers are still basically the same. 1) LT and LS, at least in these trucks, will refer to the various trim levels of the interior and exterior. LS is the most basic trim level and then there are...

    Friday was a sad day RIP Avalanche

    That sucks! The frames in the NNBS is a lot more stout than the NBS. That's why they weigh so much more. Don't forget that the oil pick-up in the engine and transmission are in the bottom of the pan, if the engine was able to run while the truck was on its side, you may have sucked some air...

    Another fresh new paint job from macco

    For $1800 you could have bought all of the materials, watched a few youtube vids, drank a bottle of jack, and done at least a comparable job.

    I think I got a lemon

    After 4 or 5 owners, it is no longer capable of being a lemon. You have what is known as a poorly maintained pos.

    Cross Rail Position for Best Economy/Performance

    Short answer, no. Longer answer, still no. Your Tahoe/Sub/Yukon or nearly any other car for that matter are, to varying degrees, bricks that punch a hole through the air as you drive. The net, and very simplified, result is that you get a higher pressure area at the front of your car and a...

    You will probably not notice a difference.

    2008 Escalade or 2011 Tahoe ?

    Unless either is exactly what you are looking for, I would keep looking. Also, unless you are miserable at negotiating, those prices are OBO. Even if you are terrible at negotiating, those prices are still OBO. The difference between the two are 6.2l, AWD, a "higher" trim level, verses 5.3L...

    Shock Replacement

    If your existing shocks are bad, then the simple act of replacing them will give you an improved ride going down the road. If they are not bad, replacing them with the same thing, is a waste that will net you nearly nothing. If these are the 10 y/o original shocks, then you are probably due...

    Can you install a 2 speed transfer case in to a vehicle with a single speed?

    You have a transfer case with awd or 4hi only? You want to swap to a transfer case that has 4hi and 4lo? Or are you wanting a doubler with the electronic equivalent of a twin stick? Either could be done, but would be a headache. Shouldn't have to flash the ECU. Maybe TCU, but could probably...

    TPMS rubber seals

    TPMS o-rings aren't a problem, until they become a problem. $13 is worth peace of mind. Besides, the hazard services don't always cover parts that are not serviced during tire installation. It's usually buried in the fine print.

    Interior Door Handle Part Numbers?

    GM#19299865 Copied straight from the actual box. Camera on phone is spazzing or I'd attach a pic. 1 box does 2 doors. Payed $21 at dealership, but that was employee pricing.

    Engine tick

    Sounds like it could be an exhaust leak.

    How the hell do you replace wiper blades?

    FWIW, I never had an issue finding the correct wipers in the Rain-X or Bosch brand at either Walmart or any of the local parts stores. I bought the incorrect style a couple of times before I caught on that you have to pay attention to more than just the length of the blade. For the Rain-X...

    "Service Trailer Brake System" and no backup camera at the same time

    Sorry, I didn't have anything to contribute. Thank you for updating your thread with the cause of the issue. :happy160:

    Can I put a non E85 engine in my VIN 0 2009 Tahoe

    If nothing else, you should be able to use the long block and all of your accessories. I believe that there were some sensor differences, and the PCV is slightly different, but I do not remember the specifics. You may be able to get away with just a short block. I would send the heads through...

    Crate motor... worth it? anybody tried it?

    They used to have a website with info, couldn't find it with a quick search. I looked into it early last year, and it was something like the $16k you mentioned for the labor, and the donor truck was extra. For an '09 I think that it was 12k+ for a donor. For current donor prices, just look at...

    Crate motor... worth it? anybody tried it?

    A Duraburb conversion would be nice, but, iirc, it was nearly a $30k conversion for them to do it. Also, the last time I looked it was for 2009 or 2010 and older only. Sourcing your own donor might save you some money. You are over thinking the mileage thing a bit. Look up some of the...

    Hello new guy here. My kid got stuck in seatbelt, cut him out. Now what?

    Seatbeltplanet.com Did you just cut the webbing and the mechanism is ok. Then, they can re-web the seatbelt for probably less than a replacement. They do quality work. They do not service, repair or restore retractor mechanisms. If you do not see what you need on their site, give them a...
