What did you do to your OBS GMT400 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[the 18th letter]

I did the Cunninghams on my 2 door. Holding up great. Also did the rag joint delete that they sell. Definitely helped with some slop.

Im more than happy with the bushings. I've finally learned not to slam my door now that it closes with a light push. Gonna order a set for my passenger door that's not bad but starting to scrape on the latch.

Bolt In Roller Pins -- Cunningham Machine

On another thread somebody mentioned getting hinge pin bushings from Cunningham Machine and having a bump shop install them. That got me looking at their site where I found these roller pins that bolt in instead of some of the other methods from GM and aftermarket sellers. These are machined...

Why would I need new roller pins? Are these known to fail as well? I've had to replace my bushings at least 3 times in past 20 years but never the roller.

You’ll know when the roller stops turning or the shaft gets bent. The little arm that holds the door open then binds on the roller and clunks.

Listed it for sale today. Hate doing it, but getting in and out is getting to be too much for me with my disability.

I spent the afternoon taking out my rear springs yesterday. This front Bolt was a Pita!
The orientation is a design fault.

I was preparing to take the tank out to be able to get the pin out.
So I asked for advice and the answer was chop the thing off and reverse orientation when re assembling!

I thought yeah that sounds better!
Outside came off easy with the cutting wheel.
The inside by the frame was painful but got there in the end with it.Am on holiday for the week so will take the springs down to get rebuilt today.Going to add a leaf to firm the rear up to assist with load carrying.
Should handle much better.

Have new bushes to go in the springs and that will be all the link rod and suspension bushes replaced.Might look to a heavier duty gas shock. These Munro's are better than the stock shocks i replaced em with so I'll see when the springs are back in!
