    Rear seating has poor design for legs

    They prob never drive. They r special needs but very high functioning but not likely to drive. So we will chauffeur for a long time. Thus the vehicle issues.

    Rear seating has poor design for legs

    But....told wifey that I would have to have a shed in order to fit 2ft longer vehicle in garage. If she wants xl length bad enough then I get my shed. Ha!

    Rear seating has poor design for legs

    Short kids? Haha. I have 2 boys 6'1 and 6'4 and I'm 6'2. And a daughter and then whatever friend tags along. It's become more of an issue as they grew. Younger and shortter no big deal. But now I have to rethink things a lot. Mentioned minivan to wifey and she truly frowned on a thought of...

    Rear seating has poor design for legs

    Very awesome idea! We've been kicking around captains chairs on a short box or sizing up to suburban to solve the 3rd row issue. No final decision yet. That would mean parting with my yukon I've put lots of work and thought into or keeping it and selling my car, thus having 2 larger vehicles...

    Rear seating has poor design for legs

    Suppose I get a unit with captains chairs that allows good access to 3rd row. Then the 3rd row person still has their knees up....no way around that, correct? My hope was a newer unit had lower floor.

    Rear seating has poor design for legs

    So I like my 2001. I hate the 3rd row design that your legs are in your nose because the seats sit so close to floor. I thought I saw models with that issue changed and have been looking again and can't find them. We're taking maybe getting another tahoe or yukon but the lack of head...

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

    So....the knock sensors are under the 2 round black covers that have the white wires, correct? And why would I see oil on the front portion of that flat rectangular cover plate? I did valve covers a couple yrs ago and still get seepage in the middle flat portion under the butterfly. Edit: ok...

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

    We've had 3 lines go on vehicles in our house due to rust over the years. I dont understand as much of a safety item the lines are that they arent stainless from the factory. Seems like it should be a requirement???

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

    There's a lot I don't know. Like what's a valley pan gasket? But what I do know is many have had the fittings go bad at the heater core. One of yours looked yellowish and it may be something to consider. Just my $.02. But really...what's the valley gasket?

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

    Mine is the mid I believe. 3 settings...35ftlbs...75ftlbs... 210ftlbs. I have a 350ftlb kobalt electric but that is large to handle in small spaces.

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

    My best friend and his buddy helped me. I need to name them big red and little red. My late father in law used to say you're cool with the right tool. Well, I'm not cool but these are the best. Just got them last year. Oh my...what a blessing they are. The little light is way better than you...

    Oh my. I'm so glad I didn't get those. I've had my eyes on them for a long time. Just couldn't part with the money.

    Production update?

    That's my thought as well. There might be some inventory that they are pulling from but there cannot be any significant volume of vehicles produced. These trucks are loaded w/ features and so our products would be needed for most, if not all, of these trucks and we "aint makin' nothin'". Don't...

    Brake line leaking . 2002 chev suburban LT

    Ok. One other question. Some say that it leaks at the m. cylinder and they get brake fluid all over. Is this in certain situations w/ poor seal or....??? how can this be prevented other than using it dry and keep filling the reservoir?

    Brake line leaking . 2002 chev suburban LT

    I'm not familiar w/ the motive. I do the "helper" method. I researched on amazon. Seems nice. So, if you DON'T fill the container w/ brake fluid you just run it dry and keep checking reservoir and if low then release motive air pressure and top off reservoir and start again? So do this maybe...

    Production update?

    Interesting. I work for a company that supplies GM and we are producing zero or next to zero for them. In fact hardly anything for anyone. Maybe a little for Toyota and some other oems but auto is dead right now.

    Steering gear box leak

    They might take the core. Didn't contact them. I wanted the dust shield because I believe it serves a purpose albeit maybe a minor one but spending what I did on the rebuilt one I didn't want to introduce problems to it. I'd have to pay return core shipping so its not a huge deal....but still...

    Steering gear box leak

    Got it !!!! Got old arm off and dust seal on new. Whacked it all around hard. Hit impact again. Came right off. Problem I believe was diameter of removal tool that didn't cover all of the shaft end. I didn't realize the problem it would cause or I would have sandwichwed a piece of steel...

    Steering gear box leak

    Pittman nut is off. My impact and Napa puller won't get arm off. It actually deformed the gearbox shaft end with me cranking on it. If I don't get core refund...then oh well I guess. I'm over this project. Arm removal options: 1. Heat? 2. Massive wacks? 3. Grinder wheel and cut? That's thick...
