    33 inch tires on 2 inch rc level kit?

    The problem with putting the biggest tires that you can onto a 1/2 ton truck isn't rubbing. I read a thread on another forum where dude mounts 38" mud tires on a BONE STOCK 1500 z71 and asks about changing up the gear ratios because his transmission started slipping. Anyways, he said the huge...

    Shake and steering problem

    @Tiffani371 Did you sort out the problem? I don't know if you like to turn wrenches but you can remove the steering stabilizer & test drive. If I understand you correctly, when making steering adjustments it feels like the wheels get stuck in the new direction that you put it to? The steering...

    NBS replacement Fob/Remote Access

    "Cheap & easy," as they say. It's still kind of a big deal to have a 2nd set of working keys, espc around here.

    Help with lift

    Whenever the modified TB keys are installed, you will torque the adjustment bolts in .25" or enough to get some tension on the keys, put it back on the ground & see what you have between the UCA and the frame stops. If you have plenty of clearance still, and want to squeeze a little more lift...

    NBS replacement Fob/Remote Access

    Replacement remote fob & ignition key arrived in the mail today. Went out and performed the remote relearn on the new fob 1st, then the original. They both function properly so we loaded up & drove to Home Depot real quick while I was on a roll. Took the old, single, properly-worn ignition key...

    NBS replacement Fob/Remote Access

    When I'm cruising in my truck, I'm holding the steering wheel either pointed at 11:00 to keep it straight, or the opposite at 1:00 oclock. The s/w is clocked appropriate to the linkage which would be straight ahead 12:00 o'clock but it seems a dead spot has developed. Usually that's because a...

    Brake Flex Line Replacement - Tips / Tricks / Photos

    I'm not worried about the line being in a tight spot. I can't exactly spend a whole day cutting lines, reflaring to modify the fittings to accept a kit that should plug & play anyways.

    Brake Flex Line Replacement - Tips / Tricks / Photos

    @corvette744 I was really wanting to go with Goodridge for the flex hose replace on my Yukon as I've had good results with them on a diff't make, but if I'm going to have problems with their setup I may as well look for another manufacturer. I do most of my maint @ my apartment & I don't have...

    Shake and steering problem

    No mention of it in the Haynes paperback. RockAuto has a listing for the steering wheel position sensor. It also lists a steering stabilizer, which my truck doesn't have so I don't accept that as a confirmation. I'm gonna double check Chiltons online and search the forums again. If any members...

    Shake and steering problem

    @Rocket Man how knowledgeable are you on this steering wheel position sensor? I found a GM service bulletin that included my 2003 Yukon but the last time I looked under there I didn't see any wiring or connector to the column/bearing area. I think this is where my problem would be since the...

    Newly acquired 04, needs first oil change, but?

    thats a lot of miles. Did the previous owner provide any records of maintenance & preventative maint? You need to refresh every single fluid & filter in that rig. If you have the owners manual it should have just about everything listed somewhere towards the back. I have PDF from the w/s manual...

    finally got the lift done!

    Gosh dang that looks sharp; the tire/wheel combo is impeccable. I dig your new avatar ;) Hey, are all of the moving parts on your truck still original? When I installed bigger tires I noticed the steering became sketchy. No problems @ 1st but after a couple months a lot of play developed in...

    NBS replacement Fob/Remote Access

    Appreciate it. Have any of you added a steering stabilizer? The steering in my truck has gotten super-sketchy & I'm not seeing any obvious failures or faulty joints. I installed bigger tires back in August & it drove fine before & even a while after the upgrade. Unless the idler assembly is...

    NBS replacement Fob/Remote Access

    @Bigbeardenali1992 There isn't anything obvious located on the Durango key to distinguish it from the GM? I will go back & do research on that part as I didn't recognize mention of any such thing while shopping or I would have taken that into consideration. Good heads-up Update per item...

    NBS replacement Fob/Remote Access

    LHJ011 model# keyless entry remote. The Yukon that I bought back in April came with only 1 of the original remotes & single ignition key. I've been meaning to buy a 2nd setup for my spouse & emergencies & finally got it on eBay yesterday. My neighbor was knocking on my door Thurs night asking me...

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

    Talk about a lucky break, I'm jealous. Scouring Dallas CL for the past 2 weeks looking for a similar bargain on a rear-brakes only setup. I won't be out of the woods financially 'til mid-Jan

    2002 yukon fluid change help

    I discussed this in your other thread, hitting on all of these points & then some. Absolutely no reason to be starting new threads with questions that you already have the answers for. included all of the chemicals necessary as updated by GM bulletins. Spark plugs should be the Delco 100k mile...

    Transfer case problem?

    2001.. that's about right. If you do some interweb searching, you will come to find that a lot of people have the front driveshaft "that turns" in older trucks. When the case was upgraded around 2003-2004 a design change to the internals allowed for a free-spinning front driveshaft while in...

    New to the site

    GM calls for 75/90 synthetic in the rear diff & 80w conventional in the front unit. If you find RPO code g80 in the glove box sticker then the rear diff on your truck has a locking unit. In that case I would use what is called for. Conventional is used in the front as the axle tube seals leak...

    ZW7 Premium Smooth Ride

    Only zw7 specifically has the Nivomat self-leveling, self-adjusting, self contained shock. I've put in a lot of hours shopping online and a lot of times you will see shocks and/or springs that correlate with multiple RPOs, but zw7 rear shocks & springs are all their own, as is the electronic...

    ZW7 Premium Smooth Ride

    Your shocks are garbage. I need to get mine replaced as well. If the back of your truck squashes down easily, or bounces they need to go in the trash. Those shocks are pricey though. I have to do something after Xmas but I'm hesitant of buying this Nivomat zw7 model used. My truck only has 128k...

    finally got the lift done!

    @zraffz I gotta admit he did such a d@mn good parts upgrade that it distracts from the more important suspension & driveline geometries as a result. I am keenly aware as I also upgraded the torsion bar keys not long ago & simply leveling the front up to the stock-height rear end reduces that...
