    Is my front diff toast?

    Hey guys chasing down some more strangeness. Jacked up both the front tires and when I spin the passenger side wheel my front diff makes this sound? Is it bad?

    Wheel bearing recommendation

    Thanks everyone, this morning I installed new Timken hubs in both sides. The old passenger side was grinding but the driver side was still good. Pain in the butt with my setup I had to undo the upper ball joint so that I could get my CV axles out so that I could reach the wheel bearing bolts...

    Wheel bearing recommendation

    I suppose it’s worth going with those since they are only about $160 vs the $260 of the kryptonite I just don’t want to have to do this again in 3 years. How long are peoples Timkens lasting ?

    @Doubeleive is the Timken SP500301 the right part number? Interesting it’s not the most expensive option

    Wheel bearing recommendation

    We don’t need another wheel bearing thread but this sections been dead and it’s fun talking with yall. Recently the Tahoes been riding very strangely like not as predictable in the steering and slightly shaky. I got home jacked up each front control arm and inspected the wheels. There seemed...

    Need opinions: 3.42 vs 3.73 GR

    My opinion is to go with the 3.73. I wouldn’t worry about using a 10 bolt rear end I can’t recall seeing anyone having a diff failure in these

    Leaking oil on a 2011 Chevy Tahoe

    I love it when a shop calls to complain about the last person to work on your car when it was them. I had a tire shop say the same thing about my wheel studs being all cross threaded and I reminded them they installed tires for me 2 months ago and they got quiet and evened up replacing my...

    AFM delete on Chevy Suburban

    Yes do both cam and oil pump. Also do the oil pump o-ring, lifters and lifter trays, valley cover, and any other gaskets or seals you encounter along the way

    Lake Speed Jr, Oil Additives = Snake oil (video)

    Quick lube shop talked my wife into adding an additive to the CVT of her 30,000 mile civic. Don't like it but they did a fluid swap at the same time so at least theres that

    2009 Chevrolet Suburban suspension advice.

    @Tired_One Nice work man, it looks like you’ve got your work cut out for you. At minimum I’d consider upper and lower control arms, sway bar end links, and possibly the bearings depending on their condition

    2009 Chevrolet Suburban suspension advice.

    @Tired_One I recommend doing it all in one go because you have to go pretty far in there just to do the struts as it is. Could you please post a lot of pictures of your current suspension so we can give you the best advice?

    Experience with Dobinsons rear coils?

    @bobsburban At that height you might be reaching the effective range of the factory height suspension. When I lifted the rear of my Tahoe, after a certain point the ride got really bad, I remedied that with rear shock extenders to bring the rear shocks back into their operating range so that...

    2008 tahoe 5.3l afm/dod delete issue

    Strange problem to have multiple injectors fail at the same time. I would investigate what the injectors have in common like wiring or ground

    Engine and gearbox swap from four speed to six or eight speed on 2008 Z71 ?

    My opinion of this generation of Tahoe is that you are probably better off keeping the 4l60e. You got 300+k out of the 4l60e which is a more than most people get out of their 6l80e. Just my thoughts

    AFM disable or lifter issue 2012 PPV TAHOE

    The smell part is interesting have you looked around the engine bay to see if anything burned up or a belt?

    2008 tahoe 5.3l afm/dod delete issue

    I would get all the facts straight so that we are working with good information, like what parts he used and if you engine even has VVT. Verifying the timing chain is installed right isn't too hard but you might need to do that and go back through your motor yourself to see if everything is...

    Yet another Yukon with engine tick and low oil pressure

    That doesn't sound great.

    Yet another Yukon with engine tick and low oil pressure

    Sounds fine

    Yet another Yukon with engine tick and low oil pressure

    Not saying the shop did anything wrong but this is why I do my work myself so that I know what happened, the good and the bad. Because when you continue to have a problem you have to go back to the shop and ask "Hey did you replace the VLOM or how did the pickup tube screen look?"

    2010 Yukon XL Body Shifting Under Braking

    I would go though the brakes again and makes sure all the caliper sliding bolts are clean and don't have to much grease on them and replace your brake hoses if they haven't been serviced in a while you could have a restriction in the brake hose

    Shocks and spacers

    @Yukon2007 Those should be ok. Might be worth the money to bump up to bilstein shocks I havne't heard good things about Ranchos

    Just enjoy it, keep up in the maintenance and fix things as they break

    Shocks and spacers

    @Yukon2007 All lift is achieved from longer springs or spring spacers. If you plan on lifting it 2 inches I recommend buying shocks that are designed for lifted Tahoes or use shock extension brackets. If you use stock height shocks with a lift the shocks will not perform very well
