    Brake pedal squeaky when cold

    My brake pedal is once again squeaky when I press it. It's been doing it for several years now, but only when it's like low 40s or below. Once the interior warms up, noise is gone. I've gone down there spraying with liquid wrench, but I haven't been able to make it stop. I do have the adjustable...

    Not sure what folks here think about "patina"? A.) don't mind it? B.) like it? C.) it's for the guys that's can't do body work? D.) don't care, my truck is too new. All of the above? LoL Anyways, I watch this guy that does LS swaps on old vehicles and was kinda blown away to watch him put...

    Well, it's time for me to work on this project. I bought this truck like 3 years ago and it's been just sitting. It's a 2500 LQ4/4L80e/NP246/4.10 Suburban LT. There are some details to fix: Smashed hood/clearcoat peeling on the roof Cluster has battery drain Rear fuel level switch I think fails...

    Exhaust manifold paint

    I'm thinking of painting my OEM exhaust manifolds...what is a good paint for that? VHT flameproof (I've used that for transmission cases before), POR-20 high temperature? Saw a much older thread elsewhere someone said high temperature grill paint?

    Dorman 62340XD engine oil cooler lines "Improved Design"

    I was going to reinstall the engine cooler lines on my 06 Suburban (DIY-rebuilt the engine recently and just installed the block-off plate for the time being.) My lines were starting to get a bit gunked up, but I cleaned them up and think they are reusable. I think I'm going to pass these lines...

    TTY head bolts with engine in-vehicle

    Hello. I'm doing a top end refresh on my 06 Suburban LQ4 (lifters, cam, refreshed heads, gaskets). I removed the heads yesterday and found the rear most head bolts are pretty tight to the firewall. I happen to have just bought a 24" flex head ratchet, which was perfect for the job (admittedly ...

    G80 not available with vehicles with optional StabiliTrak

    I was scrolling through a 2003 Suburban trim option flyer and saw this note on the footnote. I didn't know this. I guess it makes sense because those systems kinda work opposite each other. Does this mean that all 4x4 suburbans with StabiliTrak have open differentials? I guess, if that note is...

    LS engine history

    I'm kinda new to engine building (slowly working on my first LS build) and working on cars in general. I'm reading this book called "How to Build High-performance Chevy LS1/LS6 V-8s" by Will Handzel, S-A Design, 2008. It's pretty outdated by now (he gives hints about the Gen IV engines that...

    GMT 800 2500 Suburban Transfer Case Options

    Hi, for the guys with one of these SUVs, was the NP246 the only transfer case offered in these? I imagine they must have offered manual transfer cases in the forest service and firefighter and those kinds of special spec. vehicles, no? Did they offer them with a an electric switched T-Case (non...

    How to re-loom your ECU/engine/transmission wiring harnesses

    Alright, my first real thread :) So the wiring harness loom was missing in a lot of places in my 2006 suburban 2500 LQ4 2wd. I bought the truck like this and the PO was kinda a car guy, pretty clean so I don't know what happened. I guess age is also part of it. Anyways, I'd been putting it off...

    Hello from DFW

    Hello. I'm new here. I've been on the performance truck.net and was active on the gmt400 forum previously. I have a 1999 Silverado since college. I retired from daily driver and bought a 2006 Suburban 2500 LQ4 2wd as a daily about 3 years ago. I absolutely love it. I actually bought a similar...
