I tackled rust around my wheelwells and rattlecanned to protect my sheetmetal until I can afford to have it done right.

imma try this but you are running front autoride shocks or no? whats the setup and how would the RTD make a difference in ride without the autoride shocks up front?

i have djm lca with bilstien shocks up front. It better due to the fact the steering isn't so soft anymore. Before wheel would shake and move a lot more then it does now. I noticed the difference right away which helps with the ride. Also tracked better not all over the place when I hit bumps because there was resistance on the wheels now. Before my wheel was soft easy to move. Way better now. Hope you follow that lol.

Ordered corvette servo.

Same here!

Also ordered idler/pitman arms, lower ball joints, LCA bushings, sway bar bushings front and rear, $78 Thanks RockAuto!

and front shocks. ~$70

Last weekend I replaced rear shocks and front sway bar end links. Already feels better than it did with blown air bags all around.

Pretty normal prices AFAIK. I don't think anything was closeout priced.

Part Number Part Type Price EA Core EA Quantity Total
2003 GMC YUKON XL 1500 6.0L V8
MEVOTECH GK6541 Ball Joint $ 10.09 $ 0.00 2 $ 20.18
MEVOTECH GK6658 Control Arm Bushing $ 8.50 $ 0.00 2 $ 17.00
MEVOTECH GK6534 Idler Arm $ 11.59 $ 0.00 1 $ 11.59
MEVOTECH GK6536 Pitman Arm $ 11.53 $ 0.00 1 $ 11.53
MEVOTECH GK6408 Stabilizer Bar Bushing $ 4.31 $ 0.00 1 $ 4.31
MEVOTECH GK6476 Stabilizer Bar Bushing $ 3.98 $ 0.00 1 $ 3.98
Shipping Ground $ 7.18
Order Total $ 75.77

Energy or MOOG would be better, but damn those were cheap.

2 lower ball joints $20
2 sets of LCA bushings $17
pitman and idler arms for $23
Poly sway bar bushings Front and Rear for $8

I totally forgot about their normal 5-10% promo's couldve basically shipped free. CA tax free.

If i bought that stuff at my local monument autoparts I would've probably spent over $200... They wanted $20 for just front sway bar bushings...

Fuel pump

Replaced my Fuel pump today after work it took about 3 hours by my self start to finish not that bad of a job.

The Yukon was getting hard to start after it sat for a couple hours and in the mornings so I had a good idea what it was the cause.

And it seemed to be getting worse as time went by.

I read somewhere a bad fuel pump can effect the MPG also I see if get any better MPG now.

I put a Factory GM pump the last one lasted 170K so this new one should do the same.

Holy shit. These are all parts I need to replace since my new suspension tweaks since I'm sitting at 180k. I'm glad you posted here. I was thinking I'd spend just that on a pitman arm. I still haven't replace a busted front swaybar end link since my local autoparts store can't seem to stock the right size.

I've checked the local custom offroad performance shop in hopes of finding a set of quick disconnect links but no luck. My O'Reilly shop has a Moog part but the link sleeve is too long. I'm just thinking about cutting the moog part to size with a hack saw since I have the old link for a size reference and its an aluminum sleeve. Short work for a hack saw.

I'm just tired of my Hoe handling like shit in the corners.

I should have purchased uca ball joints and bushings. Damnit. That would put me around $100. I got moog end links on Amazon. Much cheaper on rockauto.
This is the hd version with poly bushings $11

Wouldn't you like to have longer links with your lift? ~2" longer links would probably be ideal.
