    Stick with OEM calipers or aftermarket??

    Awesome, thanks guys. Warranty said should be covered but dang, I really wanted those red calipers! Eventually she will pass the torch to me and upgrade her way so then I’ll get to mod this hoe out my way!! ScottyBoy, I might be misunderstanding one part about the stock slide pins using a...

    Stick with OEM calipers or aftermarket??

    Hey guys, Took apart the rear passenger brakes and when comparing to the left side they have 10% remaining and the left pads have 75-80 and look good. The caliper in question has major tears in the protective boot and won’t compress full like the other side. Going to replace the caliper...

    Tech 2 or Range AFM Disabler?

    BlackBear - when SpyShops mentions those with the Range still getting failures compared to not seeing those tuned have failures… does this apply to what you guys do? Tune vs. just a Range AFM override? How does the tune differ from what the Range does? Thanks in advance!

    Tech 2 or Range AFM Disabler?

    WOW!! I appreciate you sharing the service reports! It looks like they changed the VLOM while replacing the lifter. And then the upper oil pan started leaking? We are nearing 60k miles on our 5.3L and trying to convince my wife to be preventative about this… So first steps are to change out the...

    Sunroof stuck at times..

    I will try this. Something has me believing that it gets stuck from the rubber seal etc. Thank you!

    Tech 2 or Range AFM Disabler?

    Ok I appreciate the advice and guidance. I didn’t know what VLOM was so I looked it up and found this article from Melling Engine Parts: TECHNICAL BULLETIN GM LS AFM Deactivation Lifter Issues We have noticed an increase in the issues surrounding the replacement of deactivation lifters in GM...

    Tech 2 or Range AFM Disabler?

    I’m also interested in a Blackbear tune over the Range but I wonder about leaving the stock setup in the top end of the motor and not swapping out the hard parts instead of just the soft(ware) parts… thoughts?

    2022 SLT Yukon not shutting down when power off

    What does the manual say? Did you lock it and then go back out in 5 or 10 minutes to recheck the dash?

    Range AFM Disabler or MBRP s5043al exhaust system

    Debating on getting one of the two… I’m actually nervous about the Range and if it would cause issues down the road - damage to the motor by turning off the AFM, thoughts…?? The MBRP exhaust is straight forward and I will add it eventually, but is the Range worth adding first??

    Sunroof stuck at times..

    Any idea how to fix a sunroof that gets stuck on OPEN every 5 or so times we use it and sometimes it just WON’T open when closed…?

    Upgrading the transmission - where to begin?

    UPDATE: So I went a head and changed the transmission fluid and filter last weekend. I read and reread a couple threads on this forum in order to come up with a plan. It helped SO much!! I began with using an oil extractor pump and pulled 4 quarts out through the dipstick. I then went under the...

    INPUT ON TRANS PAN DROP, FILTER, GASKET & FLUID CHANGE

    I was one of the lucky ones who was able to remove it without messing with the exhaust. I had the jack stand ready with the ratchet strap nearby just in case. I did have to wiggle and twist and reset and slide the pan for about 5 minutes and then… voila! The kicker for me was pushing the front...

    INPUT ON TRANS PAN DROP, FILTER, GASKET & FLUID CHANGE

    I don’t know the answer to your question, it’s a good question however, I just did my fluid and filter last weekend using the upper transmission line and it spit out a good 4.5 quarts of dirty a** fluid and the truck hadn’t been started since the day before. I got 4.5 out of the pan so I’m happy...

    Flush transmission mileage ?

    Thanks for the info gooffeyguy. If I were to also be ‘flipping the pill’ then which line from the thermostat housing would be the same as the upper passenger radiator line you speak of? So I may get the most fluid out as possible while already underneath the truck…

    Upgrading the transmission - where to begin?

    Any suggestions for this first transmission filter and fluid change at 54k miles? Dipstick shows her pretty brown. I think I will suck out from the dipstick, and then drain upper trans line exiting radiator and drop the pan for the rest (flipping the pill at this time too). That should remove...

    Flip the pill vs. tap and plug?

    I would love to do this (new Tahoe owner here!!) but would like to watch a video or read a detailed thread if possible. Anything out there like this?

    Upgrading the transmission - where to begin?

    Sounds weird but I’m enjoying the read! Found it - man, I thought it would be along the lines of what I read members do in here like changing transmission fluid every 30-50k, etc. Is AC Delco an acceptable brand for GM OEM replacement? I found their trans fluid for $33/gal Pulled boat in sunny...

    Upgrading the transmission - where to begin?

    Ok, so I will start with the fluid and filter change but what is flipping the pill? LOL I will look in other threads for the how-to. How hot is transmission fluid rated to get up to and still not break down too fast? The rust and corrosion is from her first 3 years in Yankeetown and I plan on...

    Easy place to keep/access vehicle info?

    Ok I can do that - anything that can assist you legends!! This is what I see so I wasn’t sure if the signature showed up! Not very many signatures from other members either…

    Also, is my exhaust pipe supposed to be flattened on the bottom?
