    '97 Steering Gearbox Replacement Guidance

    Yeah it's real subtle. I'm not convinced 100% it's not something I've done but will look into it soon. Like I said, I just notice it has a little play before it responds but still magnitudes better than I'm used to with my old rudder... It's not finicky at all imo. The only thing that's...

    Sway bar link angle and popping noises..etc

    It's obvious that the body lift shouldn't have anything to do with the sway bar or end links. Pretty sure my lower control arms must be lower than they should be in order to get the sway bar and tops of end links to not be at such an angle. Just noticed my lower control arm bushings look...

    Sway bar link angle and popping noises..etc

    Not sure what to think regarding finding the reason I was getting 12 and 6 play before. When I tested with wheels and tires on initially, I just jacked the truck a bit on driver's side, and got the play. I then put a pry bar under the tire , moved up and down, and was getting movement and some...

    '97 Steering Gearbox Replacement Guidance

    The Borgeson quick ratio for my 93 truck is 3 full turns lock to lock so very similar to what my 93 had already. I think it feels totally the way it should . I mean, the responsiveness of the truck actually steering vs being sloppy can take some getting used to especially at high speeds . Like...

    Front diff need modifier?

    Thanks..... Wasn't sure if I could fill it with something then drain..... I have only used the 4wd for a few minutes since this has been installed/drained/refilled so I feel pretty good it'll be ok if I can get everything clean. Nothing crazy looking inside as far as corrosion or anything. Not...

    Map Sensor Code Dying at Idle

    Have you been through the manual to see if there are any clues? Here are a couple pages from the 95 emissions manual

    My A/C isn't working, I've replaced almost everything.

    You can try downloading the electrical manual for the 1993 here. I don't see one for the 1994 but "should" be similar. https://www.gmt400.com/threads/88-98-service-manuals.43575/ looks like page 153 on should give you the theory of operation and there are some tests later on. There is a...

    Sway bar link angle and popping noises..etc

    1993 GMC Yukon 350 tbi 4wd I know the bearing isn't loaded now but I can't make it feel weird at all. Feels like I would expect a new one too. Guess I could reinstall it and see what happens. I'm alone so it's difficult to catch what's going on. I was thinking that too because when I could get...

    Stock ride height

    Yes, sorry. Was talking about the side I'm working on... of course upper and lower... Thank you. Was kinda wondering the same thing.

    Front diff need modifier?

    Hijack>> Is there a method for flushing the front diff? My 93 has one I picked up from the scrap yard because I needed one to match my rear and I remember it having some water in it with milky sludge when I drained it.. . Pulling the driver's side seal today, I looked in there with a scope to...

    My A/C isn't working, I've replaced almost everything.

    Not sure what vehicle we're talking about but , with mine, I wouldn't rule out the control/head unit...there are simple enough tests to verify it and relays are doing their job....

    Stock ride height

    I did not iirc. Would that mean having to loosen both control arms, getting the z height where it needs to be with bouncing, then re-torquing control arms?

    Stock ride height

    I had just edited my post when you were responding I guess... I found what I did from my post on another forum...does this sound right? I then put the axles in and the tires back on, and put the truck on the ground. When I measured the z height, it was off by 2". So I adjusted the torsion keys...

    Stock ride height

    I'm trying to revisit my dealing with the z height adjustment a couple of years ago when I did a bunch of front end suspension replacements. Looking over my posts it's reminding me that, once I had my z height set and dropped the vehicle, my z height was off a couple of inches. I remember...

    Sway bar link angle and popping noises..etc

    Hoping I could get some direction. I had some pretty good front end wobble happening while on the highway. Really bad above 60mph. Started noticing it more at in town speeds as well.... Lifted driver's side and got pretty good 12 and 6 oclock movement. Passenger side seemed good.... Assumed it...

    Diesel sound when blipping throttle

    oops 5.7 TBI.. Looks like cts must have helped. Everything strong now.. Didn't help my new bouncy feeling ride at 60mph +... Need to check my front... CV axles been spewing for some time... Maybe the 2 year old top tier Detroit Axle wheel bearings... yup...was driver's side wheel bearing ...

    Repairing ac system

    If you borrow a strong one, it's probably good to open up the unused connector cap a bit to not pull vacuum too fast... I borrowed my neighbor's 6cfm Robinair and it has that option....

    Diesel sound when blipping throttle

    Hmmm...just caught the cts reading 24c consistently.... Wonder if that's been my bouncing/bucking feeling at highway speeds too.... Will know soon enough... Thing is stuck in there good iirc...

    OBD1 ABS codes

    Looks like I can summit on my phone fine.... Hmm... Wonder why my desktop acts different... I'm sure gm parts giant does something funky too but it may be a different screen...but it worked just now when I put in that part number...maybe I'm mistaken with them doing it... Maybe I'm crazy...lol...

    OBD1 ABS codes

    Yes... Like if I wanted to select/ copy and paste a part number to look around online, the copy selection is grayed out lately..... Maybe some new copyright, digital rights thing?? Or I'm just hacked...lol Summit even pops up a window when you try to select the part number. Knowing you may go...

    OBD1 ABS codes

    GM 25089349 (pc-160) is not the correct holder for the ABS warning light. It's large for the other lamps.... Guess maybe it's GM 25089349... Anyone tired of not being able to copy text from other sites? Summit, gm parts giant, amazon, ebay....... Or is it only happening to me lately?

    Diesel sound when blipping throttle

    I'm at a job and reversed with a quick blip of throttle and heard a diesel sounding knocking. Not really a knock but diesel sound coming from engine bay...Top if guessing. Did it blipping throttle forward too. Held brake and blipped throttle and can duplicate it pretty often.... Any ideas what...

    93 5.7 cat delete o2 sensor light

    Have you downloaded the emissions and driveability manual for your truck? It'll have a bunch of useful info, including where the o2 sensor is intended to be from factory depending on your model. Apparently it varies quite a bit which is surprising to me. Pay attention to the series,engine...
