    I need some insight on a motor swap

    This is the motor I'm looking at, just for reference. If I choose this route, what would be the next thing to look at? And when you say upgraded rear end, are you talking about the rear suspension?? Sorry for all the questions but also, now I've heard the 4l60e are trash, would a rebuild kit be...

    I need some insight on a motor swap

    I currently have a 06 Yukon XL RWD 5.3 vortec, she has 227k. I'm wanting to do a motor swap but I'm having trouble finding a solution, I know if I get a performance motor, the transmission won't be able to handle the torque (please correct me if I'm wrong). I know it can only handle 360ft lbs, I...

    This is great cause it gives me a list of stuff to check on mine (minus the 4wd, mine is a 06 Yukon XL, RWD, 5.3, 226k) I think my crank is starting to have wear, i know its not good, probably getting a new motor come tax season

    Engine ticking

    So I did end up getting a stethoscope and noticed a ticking when I listen to the exhaust manifold, there's also I ticking, almost rapid, when I let off the gas. I haven't found that one with the stethoscope. I can try and get a video up of it later today when I'm off work, but does anyone have...

    Engine ticking

    I mentioned the suspension and alignment just cause Ive made posts in the past about my suspension and so I figured I'd update anyone who might've seen it, but as far the ticking, I noticed it maybe a week or two ago and it's gotten louder, I agree it could be the best $8 I ever spent

    Engine ticking

    I don't doubt that inspecting the cam would be best, but I don't have the time to take it out or the money to take it to a shop. I would love to do a cam swap but I want to make sure I put the correct rocker arms lifters and push rods

    Engine ticking

    I have the 5.3, I know I do have some broken bolts on the exhaust manifold I need to take care of. I will definitely get a kit like that, besides rocker arm play is there anything that I should look out for? Weather it's play or worn parts in a certain area

    Engine ticking

    So I'm not sure if anyone who reads this has seen my other post, but I got the front end suspension changed and aligned, but now I have a ticking from the engine. I know the only way to know for sure is to tear her apart, I'm hoping it's the rocker arms or a lifter, it won't let me upload a...

    Easy way to replace heater core?

    I have seen some videos of people just pulling the passenger side out to get to the heater box, I might just have to do it like that. On the rear controls, speed 2 does not work, only 1 & 3 work, would that be the actuator or the resistor? Sorry for all the questions but also when I have the...

    So I'm about to have to do the dreaded heater core, does anyone know any easy way to replace the front heater core without removing the whole dash or disconnecting everything and so on and so forth. I know this is going to take a good bit of time to do but I figured before I get started maybe...

    Suspension from Walmart?

    These are the brands I'm seeing on the Walmart site at least, years ago I ordered Detroit Axle for my blazer and didn't have a problem with them, if I can get something better I will obviously, but I'm also trying to save some money without cheaping out

    Suspension from Walmart?

    I understand that, the site says it orders and ships from Detroit Axle but just with it being Walmart, I'm expecting a "Great Value" suspension, I don't wanna have to replace it 3-6 months down the road

    Suspension from Walmart?

    Has anyone ever ordered suspension from Walmart? I'm wanting to get Detroit Axle from PartsGeek which has the same suspension for a few hundred more, but do y'all think it'd be worth it going through Walmart? I know you get what you pay for but it's also the same brand, I don't know, what do...

    So on my way to work it rained a little before, the roads weren't really wet, but damp I guess. But at a light when I pressed the gas "Traction on" came on on the message board and i didn't see the traction control light on the dash and truck didn't move for a second, I didn't even hear the...

On driver side rear I'm at 34 1/2" Passenger rear 34 5/8" Front driver 34 1/16" Front passenger 33 13/16" And I believe they lowered the torsion keys, easy fix on the front, especially after I replace the front end, but what could cause the back...

    Leveling kit and spindle lift?

    That is good advice, I'm going to get the front end done first, and count my rear springs and compare it to my buddies to see if how it was lowered, I'd rather not buy new springs if she don't need them
