    Tow mirrors... Which to get?

    I used some kite string to make a slip knot, and then the Mrs. was able to get her hand in there and get it over the connector and pull it tight. I then pulled up on the string while inserting the new plug. Took a while, but it eventually worked. I had taken the door panel off to see if I could...

    Tow mirrors... Which to get?

    Took over an hour, but finally got the passenger side mirror on. The wire in the door didn't extend up like the one on the driver's side seems to, and my fat hands didn't fit into the hole very well :banghead: Thank goodness my wife's hands fit in there to slip a string around the connector so I...

    Tow mirrors... Which to get?

    Thanks for all the feedback! I ended up ordering a pair of the 1A mirrors http://www.1aauto.com/mirror-pair/i/1amrp00601?f=546516&y=1998 I'm not a big fan of the later model mirrors, and def not the Dodge style. I loved my 2012 F150 tow mirrors. I've been using CIPA slide on mirrors for a...

    Tow mirrors... Which to get?

    I'm trying to figure out which tow mirrors to get. The prices are all over the place, and I want to make sure I don't total crap since my Suburban is mainly our tow vehicle for the RV. I don't really care for the later styles with the integrated turn signals. Something that looks generationally...

    Heat and clicking brake after replacement

    Thanks, but the hoses look pretty good. I've put a couple hundred miles on them now and the pulling & clicking have nearly disappeared. I'm not sure what was going on still, but I'll keep an eye on it for a while longer. I don't normally drive the suburban more than once a week, so I'll make...

    Heat and clicking brake after replacement

    Yes I was thinking brake line, which is why I replaced them to start with. It helped with the shiftiness when braking, but a hard braking is still pulling to the left. I'm 90% certain its the front brakes because it pulls the steering wheel pretty good. The pull is also only when applying the...

    Heat and clicking brake after replacement

    Ok, I need some helpful suggestions to figure out what's going on. I just replaced all brake components from the hoses our on the front end. I also put in new bearings since I had to redo them anyway to put on the new rotors. I used all AC Delco Professional Durastop components including the...

    The Stupid Axle Questions Thread

    Thanks! I've found a lot of videos, but they're all either newer trucks, or 4x4s which all have a different setup.

    Heavy Towing questions

    So 7500-8000 lbs RVs are no joke territory. Is that the brochure weight? If so they're usually on the low side of accurate. 650-800 lbs TW is not realistic for that weight range either, probably more like 900-1200 lbs, plus another 100 lbs or so for your hitch system. 12-15% TW is typical for a...

    Where does the factory HD Trailering Equip Harness go? (1999 K1500 Suburban)

    I used this video to install my Tekonsha P2. I also had a 7 pin installed by the PO, but they didn't hookup the power or brake wires. The biggest pain was drilling the hole through the firewall to fit a small grommet...

    The Stupid Axle Questions Thread

    Ok, more questions... I think I have just about everything I need to replace my front brakes. Reading the service manual it shows the use of a puller to remove the disc from the spindle (2WD). These things are much bigger than the pullers I have. Are there any shade-tree tips on doing this that...
