    SSV/Need help stuck!

    ??? This truck is an SSV, never… had the alarm go off as I’m told they are turned off to prevent the chirp and lights when in active duty. All it ever done was lock and unlock doors WITHOUT the light n horn. Why would it start out of the blue???

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    I changed out my fronts with the Monroe kit from rock auto. Easy to do, no ride issues with them after 2 years close to 35xxx miles. The rears changed the shocks out as well. The springs were and are still good.

    Yikes, we’re not a communist state, but there are laws that incorporated states don’t have and vice versa. Your what an hour or so from Easton area? If so I can seek ya over from one side to the other on a boat! LOL

    That’s why we here in the great Commonwealth of Pensyltucky have different laws than a state. Slash a tire, pushing up daisy’s or mushrooms. But kill a man get a slap on the wrist and put you go. LOL

    There’s a national tire shortage thanks to the pandemic. I tried to get 4 tires for my sons car stock size 15”. bfg’s I called probably 20 tire shops. None had the size we needed. Wound up with 2 Hankook’s and 2 coopers.

    Has anyone ever had to replace the plastic tabs on the”bezel” that hold the rear license plate lights? Someone wife.org, decided to use the bezel as a handhold lifting the tailgate. Ripped it half off now it’s sitting lopsided. It looks like I have to pull the interior panel to get it all...

    I tried to remove the uca bolt from the spindle, all the nut did was spin with the stud. The stock bolt has a hex key In the middle to hold the bolt in place as you back out the nut. Once u cut the bolt down to what it tells u you have no way of holding the stud from spinning with the nut.

    Just did both sides, upper and lower control arms, glad I did replace them. Passenger side upper ball joint was nearing its life expectancy, so was the lower on the drivers side. However after doing all the arms and tie rods getting an alignment do I find out that the half shaft on the...

    Lowering the front of an SSV

    The lower door seals, to me at a PITA. Would prefer to have em off if they weren’t a part of keeping water from getting inside the truck. They catch all the dirt up under them, leading me to think thats where the rust will start. I pull mine off every now and then to wash the doors properly...

    What’s the difference?

    Besides the type of metal… what’s the difference between the aluminum vs standard control arms. I’m looking to replace mine as the bushings are starting to go and one of the ball joints are shot. Figure do the arms with the belltech drop spindles I got as a Father’s Day gift from my son n wife.

    Not totally sold that the trans is shot.

    I went thru my receipts and things I’ve done to the truck. All of this was done in the past 20k or so miles. Last year I had the intake cleaned by the mechanic I use. He mentioned that these trucks are known for them getting gummed up. I will clean the throttle body again, and the plugs...

    Range AFM Delete and Emissions

    This was a fantastic thread, although it took me a few months to read and ask some ?’s. Does the range device “go to sleep” when you shut the truck off or does is stay on and cause battery drain? I’m sick of the AFM, been looking on a permanent disable but can’t spare the down time to send...

    Not totally sold that the trans is shot.

    After nearly 500 miles of driving, the fluid looks normal and it’s shifting perfectly fine. Hopefully I dodged a bullet here, will keep monitoring the color of the fluid in the coming weeks and go from there. Appreciate all the help you all have posted.

    Dreaded rear windows

    The window wouldn’t go up with either switch. Had no power going to it. Found the wire going to the window was cut and used for something else while it was in service. Once I repaired the wire all is good. Well at least for it working again, the rattle is still there, haven’t messed with...
