    You guys are awesome & helped me fix the brakes now I need to replace 2 more things.

    The pitman is not that difficult to remove and you can get a good AC Delco or Moog unit for about $40 from Rock Auto, dealer will be more expensive. It helps to have an air gun b/c there is a large amount of torque on the nut you have to take off...then you need to put it back on. The pitman...

    '99 Tahoe - Expedition Build!

    Absolutely, glad it helped. I asked the same questions you are when I was first getting into this hobby. With that $1500, you can have a blast with that truck and potential mods. Let me know how everything works out.

    '99 Tahoe - Expedition Build!

    If it were my truck and I was running that tire size, I would crank the torsion bars just a little bit and leave it there. Adding a suspension lift won't actually increase your ground clearance. In fact, you'll actually have to lower your torsion bars below the frame so your break over angle...

    '99 Tahoe - Expedition Build!

    To get to 4", you will have to decrank your torsion bars about 1.5" using the RCX lift. This will actually kill your ground clearance up front b/c of the angles. Depending on the type of wheeling you do, this can be good or bad. What size tires are you looking to run with?

    '99 Tahoe - Expedition Build!

    Rough Country lift - 6" I don't recall what I paid, but expect to spend $1k - $1.5k depending on options. If you have the np246 transfer case (Auto 4wd), you should purchase their custom front driveshaft which is about $400. If you need a shop to install the kit, I've heard guys spend $500...

    Looks good Sunlit. Some new toys arrived today!!! As you guys may remember, I used the Samlex 600w Pure Sine inverter on my trip. Well, I decided to upgrade to the commercial version of their Pure Sine inverter line and jump to 1000w. This inverter, from everything I have read, is an...

    I would be interested to see a comparison between the various pads Hawk manufactures and their competitors (EBC) make. The hardest part is finding good data so people can make decisions on actual results....as we all know, there's a bit of bad info floating around out there; even my data is...

    do i flush or just drain the tranny + tcase

    Elmer - you can "flush" through the trans cooler as long as you do NOT use ANY cleaning agents. I swamped my trans a few months ago and needed to clean all the crap out of it. The cleaning agents are nasty stuff...don't ever use it unless it's a brand new tranny IMO. I found a reputable...

    '99 Tahoe - Expedition Build!

    Fixed it...ground issue with the relay between the two batteries. Big update today: I just tested out the new Hawk Super Duty (SD) pads; I had been running Hawk LT. Even though I'm running 3/4t calipers (larger piston then 1/2t), I decided to go with a 1/2t pad. The 3/4t pads need to be...

    It would take me awhile to draw everything out. However, once I put a meter to everything if the problem still eludes me, i'll create a diagram and show you. B/c I didn't change anything from when it worked until now, once I find the problem, it should be an easy fix...it's just finding the...

    '99 Tahoe - Expedition Build!

    150amp fuse on the main line feeding the fuse bus in the console blew, put another one in and it blew instantly. I have the ground from this bus going back directly to the battery. I then removed the main power and ground wires to the bus assuming the positive had grounded itself. Even though...

    Working through an electrical bug right now running through my center console. Gauges are screwy and I think it's affecting my big relay between the batteries.

    '99 Tahoe - Expedition Build!

    Sounds good to me. I'll keep my eyes open for your build thread and I look forward to it. If you have any questions or looking for advice, feel free to ask. I went a specific route with my truck, but there are a lot of other great ideas for how to improve the 4x4 capabilities of these rigs.

    That is very true. My tbar cross member was absolutely destroyed. It took me hours to safely unload the bars originally b/c the cross member was so smashed in.
