Wish I could find a deal like that in Sarasota. It's hard to find a parts truck for under 4K. Three Tahoes online right now and the cheapest one with 200K is $4500. The other two have 235+ miles and the dealers want $7500-8000. I scan the ads weekly, and rarely see one for under $5000. There...
Welcome to the club. I've tried every solution that has been recommended for the chatter and none worked. No one here seems to have the solution. I just went ahead Friday with putting the friction modifier in to see if that works. ATK must be using something that is not to OEM specs, since...
Good idea. I may call PPG or SW paint suppliers and see who they recommend. Unfortunately, it's not a matter of finding a qualified shop, rather, it is finding a shop that is willing to take on the work.
Seems like a different beast. Never thought of that. Sarasota is the capital of everything high-end and pricey. The only thing that is expected is that I will pay dearly for a quality paint job and get zero customer service for my dollars. Every shop in this city acts like it's doing me a...
Replaced my oil pan gasket, adjusted my front coilovers up 3/8", finished my AirLift setup with compressor and remote, replaced leaking Raybestos rear caliper that was only 4 months old. This week doing complete tune-up, trans and intake service. This past week I went to two local body & paint...
So this problem with the ATK/LQK G80 differential has resurfaced with my 2003 Yukon XL. Here's the history in chronological order:
Dec 2019: ordered reman g80/GT4 differential from Jegs (ATK reman)
Jan 2020: Had my mechanic install the diff
Mid-Jan 2020: Went through the break-in process and...
I had no problems getting mine from Summit Racing, but that was 3 months ago. The U.S. market is still having supply-chain issues throughout the automotive industry, so that is probably the case with the calipers.
As others have said, wheel spin is the enemy. My father-in-law grew up in the 50s driving two-wheel jalopies on Florida beaches (before FL was overcrowded with condos, obviously). He taught me how to drive on sand. We did all of the aforementioned things to stay atop the sand. Here's another tip...
Sound like grounding to me, as well. That can do weird things to the electrical sys. Although, I had a few of those symptoms when my ignition went bad at 203,000. But within a day or two, it just quit starting. I got a 2005 complete column from a salvage yard for $75 and just swapped my...
Definitely go with the BB tune. Justin does a great job with the tuning and depending on where you are you may be able to get an in-person tune. I didn't pay anywhere near $600 for my in-person tune, but had to drive 4-hours round trip to meet up with Justin. Maybe $600 covers the AutoCal for...
I was driving on wet roads and grossing 10,000 lbs with my trailer today after one of Florida's afternoon showers. I did finally feel the ABS activate as I braked over some slick asphalt.
I wasn't saying that the ABS won't activate. I was saying that even on hard stopping the braking it is so superior, I don't think it needed to activate. I'm in a dense traffic area and haven't been able to get out of traffic or in a good situation to try a true panic stop. I will try to...
No pictures of the grinding. But the picture below shows the areas to grind. The larger area is what I refer to as the shoulder, the smaller arrow is the raised casting. You can see the radiused area is where the wheel is closest. That radius is already there, but needs to be beveled back...
Okay, so I'm ready to give a more complete review of the 2020-2021 upgrade to my 2003 Yukon. I have had the system installed for two weeks and have driven 473 miles as of today. As I mentioned in an earlier post, this won't be a comparison to the high-performance aftermarket big brake kits...
I think you can go up to 1/4" without losing support. I've been running 1/4" spacers of the rear of my Yukon Xl and towing a 4000 lb. trailer several times a week (for a couple of years) without any issues. You really need to look at how much wheel stud there is beyond the lug seat. 0.14"...
Sorry, I haven't been online today. I went with one from BuyAutoParts. I purchased it from Amazon. Was about to buy one from Detroit Axle, but their reviews were terrible and they required a core to be returned. Was about $80 more expensive, but it looks brand new. They explain in detail what...
