    Switches, Relays, Wiring

    Re-doing some wiring between the battery and interior switches for aux lights. Here's a question about relays that will hopefully save some copper: Instead of making 3 separate fused runs of wire from each relay to 12v(+) and the additional 3 runs of wire to a ground point - can a guy safely...

    01 tahoe in complete progress full mod from a baby to a monster truck

    Nice work! The over-sized white lettering looks good on a vehicle setup for speed. Very cool

    First detail since moving to Minnesota

    Welcome to Minnesota. The paint will appreciate the wax before all the salt spray through winter. Looks good.

    Just noticed this...

    Thanks Larry. So you believe as well that good quality power cables with clean connections are important. If you have other value to add toward a specific resolution - Most interested in knowing if someone who experienced this issue has successfully resolved it and how. Does anyone know...

    Just noticed this...

    So.. I've done the big 3 or maybe big 5 upgrade to both the 05 Tahoe and 01 Yukon. This made the Yukon very happy. The Tahoe however still has a 14.xxV to 12.xxV drop when the window switch is activated. Any ideas on how to resolve this? I thought about tearing into the window switch and...

    Longer sway bar end links for front - better handling questions

    Did you ever get your end links and sway bar bushings swapped? Just replaced the rear links with longer jeep links to correct the angle after lift and need to lengthen the front links and swap sway bar bushings front and rear. Anyone know the stock NBS Z71 sway bar diameter or stock front end...

    Big wheels kill suspension

    When trying to factor suspension wear vs. rim size. The factor will be choice of offset and tire choice. If they're going with a negative offset from factory and pushing the wheels further from the axle of course this is going to put more stress on things. What offset are they going with? I...

    Flashing Check Engine Light during car wash??

    Appreciate the response. Your crash course is good but not air tight. If water was shorting the MAF wouldn't it trigger P0101 and the MAP sensor take over?

    Flashing Check Engine Light during car wash??

    Agreed. Still gonna double check the coils and basics/not so basics to narrow it down and be certain. Other than a smoker (which I don't have). What's a good way to check for gasket leaks. Is brake cleaner the best to use? Or is there anything else that works well and not as corrosive?

    Flashing Check Engine Light during car wash??

    I've got an 01 Yukon that's had the same issue (P0300) when going through the wash. Not so much the undercarriage spray but going through the drying at the end. The SES will usually flash and then go out or flash and remain on for a 5-6 start/drive cycles. Never thought much of it but would...

    Powder Coat - Calipers

    Hit up eBay for stock calipers earlier last week and very impressed with the rebuild quality. I saw they have the compatible OBS delcos. Cheap. Look like they'll hold up longer than with the non-corrosive parts and powder coat. I dig the red contrast against black or chrome rims. Black...

    Currently slammed, need info on moving to a lift kit

    Looking at ordering torsion bar re-locators as well to tuck the bars up into the frame when I lift. No rush but i'm excited to see how things go visually once you get under-way. I anticipated stumbling blocks for this build - Thanks for the mention about the instructions. The kit just showed...

    Currently slammed, need info on moving to a lift kit

    Mine should arrive today, any minute actually. Other than CV's, everything needs to be replaced up front on mine as well. I've had good luck replacing all the FE components with ebay components on the Yukon instead of moog or OEM. Anyone been able to track down FE components that come with...

    Came across this today for my Yukon project. If you don't feel like doing all the manual labor of the link listed above. They do sell bypass harnesses on ebay for around $35.

    Bypass factory amp

    David, Did you still have the photos of your wiring job? Replaced the 4 door speakers with kickers as well this summer. The stock amp, HU, or tape deck control is causing the rears to cut in and out as it did with the stock speakers and it's time to replace everything. Pounding on the center...

    Currently slammed, need info on moving to a lift kit

    You're right. Torsion keys made sense at the time raising up, fitting the desired wheels. Not a bad way to go if you don't mind chipping your teeth over speed bumps and pot holes. Anyone using the Superlift K329B? Refreshed front end components and dual cardan driveshaft; this kit outta...

    Currently slammed, need info on moving to a lift kit

    Thanks. Look at these angles - you can see the drivers side lower boot is already starting to ooze (clamp is still there despite the photo angle). The previous boots tore up at the axle stubs. Previous Boots: After looking at the Pro-c's, Gauphy's, and BP's I've firmly decided on...
