    Best oil pump manufacturers

    The engine in my 94 was original, windage tray was fine. The junkyard engine I wound up putting in it with 162,000 miles and was original to the truck, was fine. The 99 Denali, 96 Tahoe and 96 Silverado I owned all had the original engines and I never had an issue with a windage tray. Maybe you...

    NP246 stays in 4hi and won't disengage

    Hey guys I've got an interesting problem with my Suburban. 1998 GMC K2500 Suburban, 454, 4L80E, NP246 auto 4wd transfer case. Ever since I bought the truck and used the 4x4 in the snow here in SE Idaho it's done this. What happens is if you leave the truck in 2wd, then go to 4hi and drive for...

    Is a Quick Ratio Box Right For Me?

    Pretty close to what I got. Mine is stock in the back with cranked keys in the front. I didn't crank them all the way but enough for a gangster lean I guess. Not much, maybe 2.5" if that. I'll go for it. If I rollover I'll blame the GMT400 group. Thanks guys!

    Really? On my 94 I never had an issue with it or any 96+ Vortec engine.

    Best oil pump manufacturers

    If it's a pre 94 truck, I'd highly recommend adding in a windage tray. As far as I know it's a bolt in swap, but when it comes to oil pumps I've never had an issue out of melling. I had a high volume one in a motor where the head gasket blew and contaminated the oil with coolant and even after...

    Is a Quick Ratio Box Right For Me?

    I'd figure out how to rebuild it myself before I trust another reman or rebuilt part. When I worked at autozone my manager would always get pissed off when I'd say rebuilt and not re-manufactured. Got a lot of people to buy 100% new parts that way. Personally I think the quality of reman stuff...

    But then I can't go drift in the snow like an idiot! I guess I'll probably get the Borgeson one. Rockauto has always been dicey imo when it comes to buying stuff from them and I try to avoid them if it's possible. What size tires and lift are you running?

    Is a Quick Ratio Box Right For Me?

    I never touched the steering box on this Yukon. I'm pretty sure it's even the original possibly. It sat in a field for 4 years before I bought it and fixed the blown up rear end.

    Honest to God I don't really mind what brand it is as long as it'll last and not have any slop or leak. I just said the cardone because it was cheapest on the website.

    Is a Quick Ratio Box Right For Me?

    Gotcha! My truck isn't really that lifted imo. I cranked the keys in the front to level it out but that was really it. It doesn't have a 6" lift or anything crazy.

    Is a Quick Ratio Box Right For Me?

    The Lares and Cardone are both "New" boxes according to rockauto as well as all the ones I listed off a couple posts ago. I don't run anything remanufactured if I can avoid it. Had too many issues out of reman stuff in the past.

    That was one I was considering, but its the 12.7 quick ratio.

    Is a Quick Ratio Box Right For Me?

    Yes, the Cardone 977540GB. My other options are Lares, AAE, or Edelmann. None of my local parts stores carry new steering boxes for that truck that aren't upwards of $700.

    Water getting in, HELP

    More than likely you could have rust behind the top of the windshield that's allowing water to flood in by the windshield seal on the top. If the windshield has ever been replaced they take their razor blades and gouge the metal up. Then the scratch marks get rust and then from there it rusts...

    Is a Quick Ratio Box Right For Me?

    Yeah, in the research I did I found the stock box was 3/3.5 turns, and the quick ratio is only 1/2 turn less. So I'll just go with a stock replacement from RockAuto.
