2000 Silverado z71 refurb
Yeah the guy I use here locally is really good. He’s been able to align anything I bring him perfectly. No that’s not my rack. That’s the alignment shop. I do have a buddy where I do a lot of my automotive work with both a 2 post and 4 post drive on lift in a 6k sqft shop. I’ve been...- bigdogYJ

2000 Silverado z71 refurb
Today got the alignment done. Steering feels a lot better. A bit of slop in the steering box. I’ll deal with that eventually.- bigdogYJ

2000 Silverado z71 refurb
So probably 2 years ago, when I first looked at this problem I thought we determined the resistor and blower motor were ok. I’ll be sure to check them again. Thanks- bigdogYJ

2000 Silverado z71 refurb
Got to drive the truck around today and something felt really off. Front tires scrubbing pretty hard and just overall seemed like something was binding up. Looking around I realized we must have flipped the center link 180 degrees last weekend while swapping out everything. Oops. Pulled it apart...- bigdogYJ

2000 Silverado z71 refurb
Haha the tailpipe was the handy work of my 40 year old buddy this weekend. He asked what he could help with, I explained to him the tailpipe got tagged on a rock years ago and was tweaked out of alignment. Asked if he wanted to trim it back and help realign it. He said he has a better idea. This...- bigdogYJ

Up on the lift, stripped the front suspension and steering. Then started in with the new parts. Reloaded calipers, control arms, hub bearing and tie rods, pitman and idler... Then the hellwig solid chromoly sway bar (end links not shown in this photo). Then got rear brake rotors...- bigdogYJ

2000 Silverado z71 refurb
Well I have inherited my first truck back, a 2000 Silverado K1500 Z-71 Ext cab long bed. I bought this truck new in 2000 with 7 miles on it because I was a dumb 18yo with a decent job. Lost said job a year later and my dad saved my butt and refinanced it in his name. He and my mom became the...- bigdogYJ

Auto Trak Fluid
I will say I don’t believe this unit was put into 4WD or auto very often during that 200k miles but regardless it definitely was a long time.- bigdogYJ

Auto Trak Fluid
Yeah pretty sure. Last time I changed it it was around 60k miles. Dad drove the truck last 20 years and I’m 99% sure he never changed that fluid. He was a “don’t change it til it’s broke” kinda guy. Currently it’s got 292k miles. So pretty confident it had over 200k miles.- bigdogYJ

Auto Trak Fluid
Fyi just drained the auto trak tcase in the 2000 z71. It probabaly had at least 200k miles. And it was super clean and nice and blue. I was surprised. Needless to say i put the auto trak II blue juice in it.- bigdogYJ

Auto Trak Fluid
I know this has been discussed a lot on other forums but lately I’ve seen amsoil listing their dexron II/III compatible atf (multi vehicle atf) as a valid fluid for auto trak transfer cases that call for auto-trak II fluid specifically. Any insight as to weather the auto trak fluid is...- bigdogYJ

Vibration source chasing
You seem to have attacked a lot of the typical and some not so typical reasons that would cause this. Chasing down chassis vibrations can be tricky. Do you have access to a lift to get the tires up off the ground and run it up to ~40 mph? Maybe have the hood popped to keep an eye on the motor...- bigdogYJ

No Crank, No start. Help!
