    Dash Hole?

    Thanks for the link. I put an aftermarket radio in my Yukon, and have wondered what to do about the useless panel in the backside of the console...may he ordering from this place.

    Torsion Bar Ride Quality

    As other have said...if you want a decent ride, but reduce leaning in turns (sway) for better handling, keep the torsion bars small and add stiffer (anti-)sway bars, and good shocks . When you go over a bump on only one side, you'll feel it because sway bar will affect both sides (right & left)...

    Hard To Find or Discontinued Parts?

    Untrimmed zip-ties are also unlikely to cut your hands...although I still trim most. :rolleyes:

    Hard To Find or Discontinued Parts?

    I believe some have had issues getting the lines to seal to other components. FYI...NiCop also will not corrode, but is softer than Stainless and easier to seal. I have not seen pre-bent lines from NiCop though, so that may be an issue.

    2025 colorado/canyon wheels on our gmt800s

    More detail on 2019 & newer Ram wheels: They have slightly less offset than the GM wheels, maybe 10 mm. Not enough to put the tires outside the body, but in my case (using 275/65R18 tires) they are flush with the outside of the body, a look which I really like. Here's another photos I posted on...

    Good brake and rotor kits

    I think I'll wimp out and just use the GMT900 brakes. Current brakes are not bad, upgrading to the GMT900 will be an improvement, which should be sufficient. It looks like the Ram wheels have less offset than the GM wheels, which is why the tires are basically slush with the body, which I really...

    Good brake and rotor kits

    I have 2019 Ram 1500 18" wheels on my Yukon... anyone know whether the 2019+ calipers will clear these wheels? (why? they were priced well with Falkens in good shape, and I like how they look on the truck, and they are different than other GMT800s out there). My pads are still "OK", but I will...

    CB mounting locations

    I routed my co-axxial cable through the same grommet that brings the parking cable into the passenger compartment. This was a little tricky and I used a length of RG-174 cable with SMA connectors at the radio end, and an qualilty antenna base at the other end that accepted an antenna with a...

    Bump Stops

    We bought our (previous vehicle) 2001 Suburban K1500 with 90,000 miles and both were "used up". I'm convinced that the previous owner, which was a small company, used that Suburban to tow about as large a trailer as it could, and I imagine that a load-distributing hitch caused them to be...

    Help with Bell Housing Bolts

    Thanks for the tip. If I have transmission problems, this will help. If I do, I'll probably get a Stage 1 from RPM Transmissions, who are in my town. They have a great reputation for being solid, and the price is about what it would cost from a shop.

    2nd Gear Starts - Random

    We had a S-10 (4-Cyl, 5-Spd) and the bed-liner had provisions for putting a 2x4 across, behind the wheel wells. We used to put two decent-sized bags of sand (~50 Lbs each) in that spot and it helped greatly; you probably would not want to do that on a Camaro.

    2nd Gear Starts - Random

    Interesting... pre-electronic transmissions, especially RWD vehicles, this was something one did to try to keep from spinning the wheels. Several of my vehicles had this ability. Thanks for sharing!

    2nd Gear Starts - Random

    That's weird... I doesn't feel like it's normal. If it was, it would stay in 2nd gear (or whatever gear it starts in). It certainly feels like an anomaly.

    2nd Gear Starts - Random

    It's never "acted.up" in a spirited start, so.the jump isn't very harsh. Each time it's done it has been on a gentler start, last time my wife was driving and she's typically much gentler than me. Having said all that, kind of like you describe, feels like a downshift.

    Thanks; I guess I missed that.

    Engine hours meter reset question

    I think there's just a bug that goes active for some reason, and it resets at, seemingly, random times. I say "seemingly" because there's probably something(s) that triggers the reset, but I haven't really tried to figure it out. Mine reset a few weeks after I bought it, then again, and it...

    Oil Filter differences

    Interesting details;wonder why the difference in pressure before the bypass opens. I've been using the K&N oil filters for some time. After I had issues (not on my Yukon) getting the filters out, and had to resort to extreme measures, I decided the extra few dollars for the K&N nut was worth it...

    Heater Blower Recommendation & Warnings?

    You are correct for some parts. I worked for Delco Remy (then became Delphi, then poof!) in the alternator group, spending 3 years (1998-2001) as the aftermarket lead product engineer (think reman). We remanufactured as many as 3 million units a year; the largest being the CS130, which when it...

    Engine hours meter reset question

    The engine hours resets itself every once in a while. I think mine has reset 2 or 3 times in the 3 years I've had it, maybe more than 3, I don't really pay any attention to it any more. I did some research the first time I noticed it had reset, and found information that others had experienced...

    My truck

    57,000 miles? Great buy, even if you need to replace the engine. Curious (and ignorant & too lazy to look it up) - which engine does it have?
