    Found some springs on Craigslist

    PM sent Nnaboy. Disregard the question about them being used. I wasn't paying attention. I see now that this is a common question on the forums but I'm still glad I posted it. I appreciate you guys. Y'all help me love my truck even more.

    Found some springs on Craigslist

    What about lowering shocks? Is that a better option than shock extenders?

    Found some springs on Craigslist

    Awesome! Thanks for that. I'll post pics when I'm done. I'm still on stock wheels and tires though.

    Found some springs on Craigslist

    Thanks, y'all. I'll start digging up some shock extenders and I'll get it alligned ASAP after I get it put together. By the way, nice truck 06. Where'd you get those slim roof rails? I took mine off but it looks kind of crappy with the nubs. I'm thinking about making a nice roof rack delete...

    Found some springs on Craigslist

    They're Mcgaughy's 3" rear coils. He wants $75. He says they've been on for about a month but it was too low for him. Do you think I can drop the front enough on the stock keys to make it ride level? Will my original shocks work? I'd like to install these soon but if I have to wait until I can...

    ATX and Volant

    I don't know for sure, but I'd check that truck accessory place on 183 just south of Burnet on the Southbound side. I can't remember what they're called but it always catches my eye when I'm driving by.

    Question about wheels

    If I buy new wheels, how do I make sure the tire pressure monitor still works? I know there are pressure sensors in my stock wheels but I don't know how they hook up or mount to the wheel.

    Emissions in Austin

    JK, I know you don't have cats on your hotrot truck. I'm curious, when you get your truck inspected, do they use the sniffer or just plug into the PCM and check for codes? I like the idea of getting headers but I don't want to rig Cats up, I just want to bolt it together.

    lots of noise when steering/turining in 4wd mode.

    That's what I figured. Is there any way to lock it? Doesn't really matter to me cause I don't have it. I'm just curious.

    Just got my side moldings done

    You can only see one side at a time. :buttkick:

    Seat covers

    It has cloth. That's why I'm worried about sweating on it. My old Toyota has sweat stain srpeading all the way to the passenger side. The Hoe is too nice to let that happen. I have a Mexican blanket on my seat now. People are like "why do you have a poncho on you seat?", it's funny.

    I just ordered some Ford torsion keys

    Okay, I got my ford keys. Where can I find a 1" spacer? I think ebay only has 2" or more spacer right now and I don't want to lift the rear that much. I'll put the Fords on this weekend and start trying to find some rear spacers. I won't be getting it aligned until after I get the rear set and...

    lots of noise when steering/turining in 4wd mode.

    Probably not a locked differential, it can compensate for the difference in the distance that the front wheels are travelling. However, the front wheels and the rear wheels are also traveling at different speeds when you're turning and if none of the wheels can slip then there is nothing to...

    I debadged my tahoe

    NAPA auto parts was the only place around here that had one. They wanted $40 for it though so I just used some Xylene. It didn't take very long but it looks really good. I may take the roof rack off tonight. It's funny, I got this truck and so far all the mods I've done are taking things off...

    I just ordered some Ford torsion keys

    I like body lifts but not for the Tahoe. I'd like to get some 32" or 33" tires under it. It will look good. I'll definitely check into the coil spacers.

    Seat covers

    Any recommendations? I like to lift weights and grapple and I get very sweaty. I want to protect my cloth seats, especially after I work out. I have buckets in the front with the armrest and the seatbelt coming out of the seat. Does anyone make a good fitting protective seat cover?

    I just ordered some Ford torsion keys

    I was just going to turn it up in the front enough to level it with the rear. Can I get enough out of the keys to allow me to put spacers on the rear and still get it level? That would be a pretty sweet poor mans lift.

    rear axle noise

    First jack up the rear and try to wriggle the wheels. If one of them has any play then it is a wheel bearing. I'm not suggesting that that's a common problem on these cause I don't know what the common problems are but that's the first thing I would check in trying to figure out the problem...

    Stock 16s

    I'm thinking about getting them powder coated black. I can get the painting done free but I'll have to pay to get the tires off and back on. What do you think? I'll be putting some beefier tires on in the near future.

    04 Yukon side panels

    It was hot outside here last weekend. I just pulled my side molding right off. It was easy. It took a little effort to get all the tape off but I had both sides done in about an hour. I used Xylene to help loosen the tape. Worked well but I should have worn gloves. That's my recomendation.

    I just ordered some Ford torsion keys

    I won them for $26 + $10 shipping on ebay. Hopefully I get them soon. I want to put them on this weekend. Now I just need to find a deal on some meats.

    Is my front axle about to fail? See pics.

    I can't see the pictures, I think they have my computer set to not show them at work. However, I've built differentials before. Don't worry about the metal. Just clean it out and don't worry about it. It's normal break in wear, especially if they're turning all the time. I bet if you clean out...

    4 wheel Low with Stabilitrac

    How do you engage 4wl if you have stabilitrac? The manual says it won't engage if you have stabilitrac but there's a button for it. Anyone know what's up with that?

    How many cat's?

    I was just thinking about future exhaust mods and in searching I found the LPP LT Headers and y pipe but I have to have a CAT to pass emmissions. What would be wrong with setting it up with the OYP and putting one bic cat right after the Y pipe?
