Took the suburban to the dealer yesterday for a coolant flush and the passenger airbag recall.

Of course with a 160k mile truck they gave me a laundry list of repairs, most of them were minor leaks on various lines. Not surprised on those, but what I wasn't expecting is they mentioned the front sway bar links were completely gone. At least that's an easy DIY.

I've had the truck 6 months now with 100s of miles logged on mountain roads and I haven't noticed "excessive" body roll. Maybe it's just perspective as my previous vehicles were smaller and sportier and I expected the Suburban to have extremely boaty handling.
Should not be "boaty" at all, now take a comparable Ford for instance and there you have your wave rider boat, I don't know how people like them at all. My XL has never been boaty even though I upgraded the sway bars and yes a swift move at 90mph does make a wave but it quickly corrects it's self.

I bet it will feel better after they’re replaced.:)

Now, should i wait to install the piston rings till after i plasti-gauge the rod bearings, or do it before?

I'm guessing i'll probably want to ensure all of the plasti gauge is cleaned up... then final install the bitches.

Crawled under it and remeasured the space I can cram mufflers in.
Time to make it sound nearly stock and still make 500+whp

Had my G80 lock as I went over the speed bump in the work parking lot. truck didn't want to turn and then it let go again. Must have been just the right combination of speed and angle crossing the bump.
It's happened to me once with this 2012 last year I did a hard stop and left turn and she bound up on me for a second, only did it that one time that was right around the time I bought the girdle and cracked it open expecting to find some metal bits in there but there was nothing.
