    Expected transmission life span

    My folks have driven nothing but 4x4 GM pickup & suv since I was in grade school... A couple of each in green and a couple more in white. My mothers sister & her son both have 4x4 GM in the 2007 or '08 NNBS, 1)suv used to pull a loaded trailer every weekend and the kids pickup has a million...

    pegged oil pressure gauge, jumpy after replacement?

    If it was me, I would return the sensor and try another 1 if I didn't find any problems with the wiring, i.e. Continuity fault, broken pin, damaged harness, moisture contamination. I would spend about 10-Mins exploring for anything obvious before running down to the store & exchanging the...

    Upper and Lower Ball Joints w/wo Hub Removal

    That's what I was going to say; just unbolt the CV axle from the diff flange and then remove the spindle (as required anyway) with the axle/hub attached as a big a$$ assembly. fWIW, i don't think you have found the better videos. There is a mechanic out of Alaska who does ball joints on a NBS...

    Front end pop?

    Popping noise could be anything. Start with GM TSB 03-08-61-002 It's free & easy. If that doesn't fix it check the body mounts & look up the TSB for that. I use this website as part of my diagnosis for ANYTHING. Always check TSBs for any problems or issues that you are experiencing with your...

    2003 yukon denali build

    Expert body & paint. So this is a Denali with HD front end, right? Do you have photos and/or a detailed journal for the suspension upgrades? You don't see many folks taking a Denali base this route, although this is what I would have done. Being AWD it can go either way, but most of the time a...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    It doesn't need to be rational, you are entitled to think whatever you want. I thought that it was funny, if anything. I'm just glad you said it as I was amused by your perspective.

    Questions on Keys

    I don't mean any offense or disrespect, I'm just trying to talk you out of it while pointing you to the reasons for such. I was pouring money into updating all of the serviceables & maintenance items when I bought a 2003 4x4 back in April. I found a sweet deal on tires that would fit the 20"...

    Questions on Keys

    The TB keys should be a last resort. If you have the money for a suspension kit, that is the way to go. If you type what you are looking for in that box at the top, i.e. "Leveling keys," etc, you should find the results of others experiences both in testimonials & photos as hard evidence. The...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    @bottomline2000 You don't have a build thread? Im intrigued by the deets in your sig. All big boy mods, there. What'cha got in that thing? $20k? Prob more like 30 but that's not important. Just a lot of stuff you ain't gonna do with a craftsman socket set & lowly $20/hr salary.

    Trans Won’t lock up in overdrive

    I don't know if it's the same but my 2003 Land Rover is programmed like that to warm the engine & transmission faster. I think my 2003 Yukon is the same way. I noticed it 1-day last week but we haven't had enough cold weather yet to say if it was anomaly or not. I try to make sure my vehicles...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    The steering of my truck has been pulling to the right-side & today I go back to the garage reponsible for the original wheel alignment back in August so I could get it worked on again. When the tech was done I asked him if he found anything. He said the alignment was only off a little but that...

    Matt00 2003 Yukon build

    @matt00 I just bought a 2003 'Kon back in April. The VERY first thing that I did was drain the trans', replace the filter and pan gasket, & refill the thing with what I thought was the best TF I could get: AC Delco Dexron 6, full synthetic. If you haven't done this, I suggest you not...

    Matt00 2003 Yukon build

    I picked up on a thread @ another forum, pickup had 250K+ miles. swapped-in a corvette servo and lost the trans' not too long after. I asked him if the upgraded servo had anything to do with hastening the trans' failure and this was his response: "Nothing noticeable right away. I'm sure my...

    Matt00 2003 Yukon build

    I'm anxious to learn how the trans' will hold up to the upgraded servo. That sucker has some miles on it, gotta be real careful changing stuff up like that. I mean, I hope it works great and actually extends the service life. I just had a trans tech convince me to leave the original unit as it...

    My 5 Alarm Hoe

    It's not above your skill level. You can find all the info in others build threads & instructionals throughout the various forums, Like performance trucks. I would rather replace an engine than do all of the little tedious/micro/intensive LED lights & cluster mods that you like to knock out. If...

    Engine noise - like a pressure cooker - some coolant loss

    @RET423 Quick & easy. Good call. Like he said, look for signs of oil contamination immediately.

    Engine noise - like a pressure cooker - some coolant loss

    Since the 'Check Engine' was activated previously, there could be new fault codes in addition-to the EVAP that you are aware of. Have you scanned the truck since the WP replace to verify presence of new faults, or just assuming nothing new could have come up? Either way, a few sessions of...

    Leveling kit maintenance

    Get a grease gun and get to all of the chassis grease zerks on the front of your truck. There are about 100 other things you can do while you are underneath there. Give your brakes a good once-over & see what kind of shape the pads & rotors are in; inspect caliper action while a helper presses...

    Grinding cracking pop

    You have a very nice selection of get'er done tools. Is that 1/2" Milwaukee the High Torque model? I had to stop by an engine shop to get help seating a stubborn ball joint into a lower CA. Dude busted out 1 of those 'Waukee HTs and a ball joint clamp. Made such short work of the deal that I...

    33 inch tires on 2 inch rc level kit?

    Some folks are luckier than others. More than a few testimonials from folks blowing the gov lock with stock tire size. Lots more asking for suggestions on carrier upgrades due to busted side gears, sheared pin, etc. I don't like spending my hard earned cash on catastrophic failures that could...
