    Baer Brakes again.

    That was my next step, but needed to change the knuckles. Believe me, the truck stops so much better with the Baer brakes, but this aspect has driven me nuts. Baer did offer to turn down the spindles if I could not get it done locally. Their customer service department has been great.

    Baer Brakes again.

    We examined the old bearing for numbers, none. I took them to a really nice machine shop in Blue Ridge, GA today. Chad had the new Timken hub sets turned down to Baer specs in no time. What a nightmare this has been, but seems to be light at the end of the tunnel. I will put the new hub sets...

    Baer Brakes again.

    Answered my own question, and maybe I can help others. The unit is sold as a unit and Timken does not provide part numbers to do a rebuild. Seems like nobody does. My only option is to have the new spindle turned down on a lathe to the correct diameter to accommodate the Baer rotor. Don't buy...

    Baer Brakes again.

    I have a unique situation, my 1998 K1500 Suburban is equipped with Baer brakes, rotors and calipers. The spindle in the front hub is 12 mm smaller than stock. So the bearing in one is going. I have a new Timken hub ready to go in but have to pull the spindle out of the old one and put it into...

    New to me 99 K1500

    Well I am happy to report that it was the cap and rotor. I replaced them this morning and it cranked right up. The cap had a bracket that you had to put under the distributor, then run the cap screws into this bracket. That is why they were longer on one side. That was a pain in the rear to...

    Here is a picture of the inside of the distributor cap and rotor as well as the weird screws used to put it on. There is a ring of liquid around the inside of the cap. Corrosion on the rotor.

    While waiting for the tow truck, I ran the my scanner and there were no codes. Not sure on the CPI to MPFI. Was going to do that, but would really like to get it running first. I was baffled when no codes showed up and the CEL never came on either. The fuel pump was replaced about 3 months...

    Going to check all the obvious in the am. Wires look new. Fuel pump is running, but have not checked the pressure yet. The filter was very dirty.

    It was running fine then the miss started, more pronounced in turns at first, then just started running like crap.

    Going to check that today, what is acceptable? The filter was really dirty and very hard to blow through.

    It does have a K&N air filter. I know these can foul the air flow sensors, as they did in one of my old Mercedes W124's.

    Well the white on died on me yesterday. It started normal, as I drove down our hill I noticed it start to miss. It stopped and was running fine for a half mile or so, then it started missing a little again. Finally it started missing and losing power. I was on a dirt road and it would not go...

    New to me 99 K1500

    Just picked up a 1999 K1500 Suburban LT to compliment my 1998. It's all original down to the radio, but has new tranny and fuel tank as well as pump. Is going to need tires and a front seat bottom cover or two. These are getting harder and harder to find in really good shape. Will be holding...

    Baer brakes and hub

    Called Baer and found out they pull the spindle out and machine it down so their rotor fits over it. I have to buy new wheel hub bearing kits, pull the spindle and put in the ones currently on my truck. Mystery solved.

    Baer brakes and hub

    That is possible, the issue is the inner hub of the rotor will not fit over the plate with the lug nuts in it.

    Baer brakes and hub

    Anybody know where I can find some spindles for this truck? I need drivers and passenger side, the one's on here are very different or modified and will not accept the original calipers. I need to go back to O.E., will make my life easier.

    Baer brakes and hub

    Those are 18 inch rims from a late model truck, original 16's won't go over the rotors.

    Baer brakes and hub

    I have on my 1998 K1500 Suburban a aftermarket Baer 14 inch brake rotors and Baer 2 piston calipers. I have a wheel bearing going so I thought I would change the assembly, pretty easy with the right tools. So, I go down get the hub assembly, bolt it on and the Baer brake rotor will not go over...

    Help Needed with Passlock?

    So I pull the distributor and it has a 6 on the little arrow, does this mean I have the wrong distributor or that it can be used in a six cylinder engine also?
