    K1500 8.25 to 9.25 swap

    Yes, I have meant to post them for quite some time. I will see what I can do.

    Transmisson swap

    Transfer case front output is on different side in 85. What trans are you talking about?

    Pilot Bearing Orientation

    The photos are rather hard to see on my phone, but the seal should be on the transmission side. The bearing and all the grease should be behind the seal, towards the engine. You don’t want grease weeping out onto your clutch.

    Bolt pattern swap

    There are custom 6 lug hubs available. I thought about doing this on my square body years back, but decided against it. I think there is a lot of custom work involved - hubs, disc brake conversion, machined axle shaft flange, other? I don’t know all the details as I ended up going a different...

    Rear wheel bearing? - 99 Suburban C2500

    I don’t think you stirred anything up, you made a good point about the bolt failure. The bolt pictured on RA is not correct, not sure what that is for.

    Rear wheel bearing? - 99 Suburban C2500

    There is something funny with the RockAuto listing of the pin bolt. 14012702 shows up on other sites as the proper bolt, but shows a pack of 10 on RockAuto. I would suggest calling a drivetrain supplier or GM dealer about the pin and other parts as two pins are also listed on GM site and I see...

    Rear wheel bearing? - 99 Suburban C2500

    Sorry for the delay and vagueness of my post. I should have clarified you can follow the process shown for 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, and 9.5 although I have not seen a breakdown specific to the 9.5 posted. I think the 7.5 only has clutches on one side, but the governor is similar. One difference between...

    Am I the only one not logical?

    And then forget you bought them. I go through my parts stash from time to time and it is like Christmas all over when I find something I forgot I purchased.

    Rear wheel bearing? - 99 Suburban C2500

    It has been years since I had one apart other than for gears/bearings, so memory is a little fuzzy. I do remember the governor shafts/bushings being a pain to remove, cue expletives. There is a special tool, but you can improvise. Past the governor, I sure don’t recall anything difficult. I just...

    Rear wheel bearing? - 99 Suburban C2500

    Correct, pin limits inward movement while C-clip acting against side gear limits outward movement. I have seen one diff that I can remember with chewed up mating surface between gear and diff case, but not common in my experience. I have seen broken pins and broken retaining bolts cause problems...

    Rear wheel bearing? - 99 Suburban C2500

    Play in a C-clip axle is common like already stated, but 1/4” is definitely not OK. The clips are retained by a step in the differential side gear whose depth is approximately equal to the thickness of the C-clip (the differentials I can remember off the top of my head anyway and I don’t recall...

    Stock ball joint???

    You already have bolts in place. Just remove the bolts and replace with new ball joint. Pretty quick job, but alignment is still recommended.

    K1500 8.25 to 9.25 swap

    Good info @Gobistro00. I did the 9.25 swap with a 6” BDS which allowed me to use OE length 2500/3500 cv shafts. Only issues in my situation revolved around the differential being taller in relation to the lower driver side mount, which you mention, and the size of the inner seal on the knuckle...

    Need some help/advice front passenger side axle shaft bearing and seal

    The axle shaft is held in by a spring clip on the shaft and is inside the clutch gear. You can use a dead-blow hammer or slide hammer on the flange, it shouldn’t be terribly tight. I think GM service manual actually says to use brass drift against axle flange. Seal will pop out fairly easy with...

    Outer pinion bearing.

    It sounds like the issue you are running into is not having the correct shims with the crush sleeve eliminator. You have to set the pinion depth with shims under the bearing closest to the gear and check the pattern without the crush sleeve or eliminator in place. When satisfied with the...

    AC compressor port on back left? Leaking from snap ring - what is it?

    Is your compressor making noise? I would suggest resealing what you have if it is functioning properly. It has been nearly 20 years since I was doing A/C professionally, but reman compressors had much higher failure rates than new or OE did back then. I can’t imagine that has changed much since...

    1995-98 Headlight Switch

    I might be stating something you already know, but some of the SUVs had automatic headlights and not just DRL (OBS 99-00 Yukon Denali and Escalade, maybe Tahoe Limited?) I have not looked into it and do not know if this is incorporated with the DRL module or somewhere else. I think 618 Syndicate...

    Random electrical issues

    I believe you are thinking of the earlier column with the rod and sliding switch. 96 would have the rotary style switch located by the tumbler and is connected by a pair of gears. I would agree with you on checking the ignition switch as part of proper diagnosis. I only offer the suggestion of...

    Random electrical issues

    Check your brake light switch. I ran into an issue on a 96 Tahoe where the engine would not shut off intermittently because one of the contacts in the brake switch had broken loose and would sometimes fall across the other contacts and feed power back through the ignition switch. Especially as...

    Lockup issues?

    Just thought I would give you a little more info on my last experience with the TCC regulator/isolator issue. My own Yukon began the TCC cycling around 45-50 mph and that was the only noticeable symptom initially. When it was driven on longer trips towing a trailer it would start the hard 1-2...

    Antifreeze Leaking Connection On Intake Manifold

    You can replace the quick connect with a standard nipple style connector which are stocked at most parts stores, the threads are the same. Just requires a slightly longer heater hose and clamp. The quick connects have been notorious for leaks since they came out. Also pretty common for them to...

    Lockup issues?

    Read up on TCC regulator/isolator valve issues common to 4l60e. Common symptom is TCC cycling in 45-50 mph range. Repair kits are available for diy if you decide that is the issue. EDIT: I double posted, sorry.

    Search yields too much to sift through with little answers

    Like evil says, stick with the gmt400 9.5sf out of 4x4. The 9.25 front diff from a 3/4 or 1 ton will not bolt in without a lot of work. I have a 9.25 in my 1/2 ton Yukon with BDS lift and it is easier than many make out, but not a bolt in by any means.

    4l60e in 96 Yukon jumping around gears intermittently

    Follow Schurkey's advice, you sound to have multiple issues going on. Determine whether your trans TCC is cycling in that 50-60mph range rather than shifting gears and read up on the TCC regulator/isolator valve problems common to 4l60E if it is TCC cycling.

    A/C Compressor Replacement '94 Suburban

    There may have been some changes in the reman world since I was doing A/C work, but in my experience reman compressors had much higher failure rates than new compressors.
