    Front Diff Identification

    I have a low mileage front diff that is supposedly its from a 99 Yukon with 3.73. Is there a way to tell what gearing it is without tearing it apart? There are no clear markings that I can find.

    Stupid Fuel Mileage Questions

    I don't run my A/C much but when I do I don't notice any difference. I have a tonneau cover and I can't tell a difference in MPG when its opened or closed.

    99 Tahoe GU6 G80 into 98 Z71

    Rear end in my 98 Z71 GU6 G80 has been going bad for the last year slowly. Didn't have the time, money or knowledge for a rebuild so I found a bargain GU6 G80 out of a 99 tahoe with 60,000 miles and did a pretty straight forward swap. Brakes on the 99 axle are larger than what was on my 98...

    heavy tapping at cold start

    My 98 does the same thing, I just let her warm up before pulling out. Normally ticking goes away at idle after 15-20 seconds and goes away for acceleration at 1-2 minutes. Only happens when it hasn't been ran for 8 hours and is a bit worse when its cold. Winter weather usually she gets 10-15...

    Defrost Blend Door

    http://www.gmt400.com/forum/showthread.php?2292-Defrost-blend-door-keeps-falling-out&highlight=blend+door I've seen this thread along with a few others. It just seems to me that there has to be a way to repair that blend door without ripping the entire dash out.

    Defrost Blend Door

    To the right of the gas pedal, the actuator is hooked up to 2 doors. The door closer towards the top is not working. Looked under and found that is was connected to the actuator but it looked as if the door was off. I fiddled with it and it came disconnected. For the life of me I cannot get the...

    What is this?

    Mine hasn't fallen out yet but its not working. Looks like you have to remove the dash to get to that door. You should have 2 of those, one for each door. The actuator hooks up to those. Anyone have experience on a repair that doesn't require pulling the dash?

    Brake Grommets for master cylinder

    My grommets are loose as hell on a new rebuilt master cylinder. Luckily to don't leak unless you move the reservoir with your hand. Never did look into buying new ones.

    Coolant

    I don't run the dex cool either, although I have heard that after a class action lawsuit the formula was changed so it no longer did damage. It was used in my wife's Malibu and its junk, pure junk. I haven't flushed in a while and I don't remember how much. I might take that task on next weekend.

    Need new shock recomendations...

    I run all 4 bilsteins on stock suspension just not the 5100 series. I paid $50 for each rear and $70 for each front. Best shock I have ever had.

    Front end vibration

    A little bit. I'm thinking its the U-Joints also. Think I'll throw some on before the month is over. I can't think of anything else and the U-Joints are about the only thing that haven't been replaced in the past year.
