I haven't read all the replies, but FYI I called Red Head spoke with them and got a new steering gear and it's been great. They had great advice on the system.
I have jb6 brakes with the larger drums for towing. I went through similar issues for years trying different things. I went completely through using top shelf products. They are awesome brakes now!!! I tow a boat and other utility trailers.
1. If you have not, change your rubber...
I had to use extra long(over 3") screws to get mine to work. About 5 months ago, I found an upper and lower at a salvage yard but the bolt bosses were cracked. I drilled them out some to accept an oversize screw. I contacted LMC since they used to carry them but their supplier quit making...
I agree and did so with the original unit. A Pulley Adjustment tool helps with adjustments. It got me some more miles, but eventually wore out. The first unit I replaced the OEM unit with was WORSE than the original!! They ALL were worse! So, again, yes--adjusting the unit can be the...
I posted this in an older thread but thought worth doing so in a new thread since it's made driving the Tahoe a lot more enjoyable.
I had installed 3 steering gears in my 97 GMT400 Tahoe in the last less than 2 years. They all had excessive play. Both NAPA and O'Reillys sell the same...
An older thread but I thought worth posting. I bought a Red Head today. Tried 3 other remans--just don't work right. They are making it with a medium stiffness so that it will work with evo and non-evo power steering. I have evo in my 97 Tahoe but am looking at deleting it if I have...
Thanks, I emailed them and they said they could do the "traditional" tune. Which is not user adjustable for things like going between towing vs not towing.
HOw does your Blackbear tuned ecm differ from before when you had the stock?
Does anybody have the info on the wiring changes for direct battery hookup? As I recall everything for the lo beams goes through the DRL system. Is the DRL portion bypassed? Also, and hate to be asking too much but is the mod under the dash? I want to stay legal and have noticed how...
Caster/Camber. Good info from ASE. Not toe. I suspect others have said breaks, bearings, tire inflation, etc.

ONe thing to check on are the rear brakes if it happens while braking.
I have a pull to one side or the other...
OK, so I am one of the few, but don't know what a NBS master cylinder is? Somebody please let me know.
I have a 97 Tahoe that's in great shape with 18" tires and lots of upgrades. Don't drive it much--about 5K/year. I have JB6 brakes. The best thing I did to improve stopping power was...
