    '98 K1500 Front Coilover Swap

    You could have gone with some quotation marks fore and aft with Skeptic- "Skeptic". Just a thought from this ignorant redneck down here in GA. It's all good as they say in de hood. Word.

    98 k1500 Slop in shifter handle

    OEM parts are the way to go. I replaced the shift mechanism and the shifter cable and the movement is crisp and no slop. And the brake to shift is working correctly. Now I need to figure out how to see a deer with the wind blowing. They tend to avoid us after three months of being hunted. I...

    98 k1500 Slop in shifter handle

    Jimmy , the retired old fart said he thinks the Dorman POS shift mechanism is where the slop is and the new shift cable is likely to have been forced some when installing it. He said he always connected it up top in the cab and then when you're snapping the cable onto the ball at the side of the...

    98 k1500 Slop in shifter handle

    Thanks for the parts list. The white clip is pushed in all the way. That's the only way the black outside clip will go back over the white one. I'll call Thornton Chevrolet and see if an OEM shift mechanism is still available. I don't think she was looking at the right parts picture.

    98 k1500 Slop in shifter handle

    Yeah, I had the clip pushed out. You mean the shift mechanism on the steering column when you said shift assy from junkyard don't you? I've considered that too. Dorman has the complete assy. I think from dealer it comes or came in three pieces. A lady I talked to the other day when I called the...

    98 k1500 Slop in shifter handle

    I had my 4L60 replaced, got the installer to replace the main shift cable. The original cable clip had broke at the transmission. I had zip ties on it. The slop was in the movement of the shifter handle before transmission and cable were replaced. I figured that the original cable with 352 K on...

    1998 K1500 CD player not working

    This a single CD player, sits below the climate control. It just decided to not work one day. Don't use it much but I like for it to behave when I want to. Push eject and it does nothing except showing err after pushing it several times. Then I didn't drive it for a while the battery was low. I...

    AC not getting cold

    I've got new compressor, condenser, orifice and dryer from Napa. Flushed all the lines and the evaporator. Added 8 oz of oil to the system where it said to. Charged it with 2.25 lbs of 134 and I'm getting what can be seen in the video. The AC worked decent back in October but the compressor...

    I could be wrong though,ask my wife. That's what I usually say since they tend to think they're always right. Which we all know ain't the case. I can safely say that cause she ain't gon be reading this.

    Yukon Duragrip/US Standard ring and pinion

    Well, I got delayed by other BS but I finally got back on it last week. What's his name,(makes me mad I can't remember his name)at Quick Performance knew I'd been working on this thing a while. He sent me the replacement gear set 2nd day air. I wasn't expecting that. A friend of mine, when I...

    Yukon Duragrip/US Standard ring and pinion

He said he was sending me"the black box" which is gear set made by Motive that sells for about 300.00. The US Standard...

    Yukon Duragrip/US Standard ring and pinion

    I've been taking my time on this since Thanksgiving. I'm curious what Thornton Chevrolet wants for a set. I can get a good discount but I guarantee you it will still hurt your feelings.

    Yukon Duragrip/US Standard ring and pinion

    I'm gonna call them and let them know it's got a whine I can't get rid of. He may tell me to run it some more and see if it gets better. I don't have a problem with that. I've taken it apart four times, there's only been some very fine stuff on the magnet each time. If they'll do me swap I'll...

    Yukon Duragrip/US Standard ring and pinion

    Yeah. New races. I got a package deal from Quick Performance in Iowa. Carrier,R&P and bearing kit. 500.00. I talked to a couple of guys when I first started on it. One at Yukon and one at Q Performance but they just kind of drift away and don't reply. Noisy gear sets happen I guess. Duragrip...

    The painful itching and swelling continue with this hemorrhoid and my truck's rear end. I put new bearings and races in for the pinion. I bought two of each pinion bearings and made me set up bearings. I torqued pinion nut to about 130 and set the preload to about 16, bout midway of the 14-19 in...

    Yukon Duragrip/US Standard ring and pinion

    Yeah,I didn't realize I needed a yoke holder the night I started on it so I looked around saw the clutch wrench and I had bought the beam type torque wrench but it was kinda hard to read it when it was moving. And I cold only go about half a rotation turning the yoke. But I've some cool new...

    Yukon Duragrip/US Standard ring and pinion

    Well,it started up whining again when I drove it the next day. Not real bad but it was hearable. Pulled it back in and tore it apart all the way to the pinion. Decided to go back with a crush sleeve. I checked the pinion preload before I took it out. It had loosened up a little. I got the...
