Fired up the Yukon for the 1st time after swapping the front hub, and got some Traction Control & ABS lights. I'm sure I clicked the ABS cable/harness in all the way.

Any suggestions?

What brand hub(s) did you use? Also you're in the GMT800 section but this looks like the cluster for the GMT900.
Timkin, and dang, you're right.


Edit: I'm a dummy x2. Wrong forum, and the harness wasn't fully seated. It's not clicking, but pressed together enough to kill the dash lights.

Admin, feel free to delete, but you can leave the part about me being dumb.

I had a broken manifold bolt on my 06 Suburban since I bought it, and some seemingly hardware bolts that were too long with a stack of washers, PO must have done that.

Removed the one manifold but the broken bolt was sticking out, so got it out with vice grips. I had my welder ready, LoL.

And by chance, I went to pick up some grimey 317 heads for the engine I'm building. And of course, it had broken bolts, 2 with threads sticking out and 3 broken flush. A little patience and some electron arcs, and everything was removed. Will drop off the heads at the machine shop for cleanup, inspection, whatever else they need.

I've heard 799 heads are better then the 317s.

Yes. This is my first engine build : it's a L96 block with new flat top pistons and 24X stuff. This just a stock-ish rebuild, just to get my feet wet. No high performance or anything like that. Static compression is already around 10.5:1 and most other heads would increase compression even higher.

I took my original 317 heads to the machine shop and they said all the valves were warped and bent, so the service quite was almost $700. They suggested I find some other used heads for cheap, then just take them in for inspection and valve seals. These were $75.
