    PSA: Check your front sway bar for cracks

    My front sway bar on the Suburban was cracked on the ends... It is just a crimped tube of steel where they go into the end links. Anyway after years of rust and bouncing, I guess they gave up the ghost... When, who knows. This weekend I put in a new "upgraded" Addco swaybar. Solid bar 1...

    Getting the hot air out.

    Looks great! Granted why not just get a cowl induction hood? Just curious. Also I am digging the wider fender flares.

    Head Light Decisions????

    ... A good buffing kit can do miracles! Not the el cheapo stuff you find at the auto supply stores though. You need a real buff with the right clay... Plus a good buffing machine. The clay and buff cheap, buffing machine not so cheap. Just my $.02 from having disgusting headlights at one...

    Anyone remove the ABS controller?

    I run mine with the fuse pulled, wires in tact on the ABS module/brick and I do not have a warning light come on. YMMV

    Anyone remove the ABS controller?

    Big T, I did some research on that and as far as I could tell NHSA(?) is deliberating the topic, but it is not "official" yet. The GMC dealer did inform me that if/when the recall comes about I will be reimbursed the cost of the repair. Which is a good thing. If the status has changed from...

    Tools required for glow plugs and Injectors?

    Get the real deal socket for the injectors. The wrench head pays for itself on a couple of the rear most injectors where the socket wrench will not fit. As for the glows I use a normal 10 or 11mm deep socket, no problem. good luck in the process!

    Anyone remove the ABS controller?

    If it is a road vehicle you need the ABS controller for the proportioning valve inside it. Just pull the fuse and rock it that way. After much research of doing the same thing I decided against it just because of potential brake F/R bias issues. The front brake lines could very well be rusted...

    6.5 exhaust systems & cross overs who's are you running & why ?

    I use the Warpspeed crossover and Jardaine 3-4" exhaust system. So far no rust issues after a few years, but I keep them clean and try not to run in salt. Normal galvanized steel stuff, no SS. Oh and a 5" chrome tip, which is a necessity. Bling! For the money the x-over and exhaust is...

    Another wonderful day!

    I just wanted to start a warm and fuzzy thread for the 6.5s :) I started a new job which requires a lot of travel on the road car/airplane. So far mostly car time and the Suburban has done a great job! Just this morning I drove up to PA which takes about 3 hours and it was just smooth...

    Crankshaft Catastrophe

    once I get paid on the 15th I will be buying/supporting some Walking J product to fund the rebuild :) The PO of my 99 Burb replaced the motor at like 20K... Warranty work, so who knows what happened. Other than that the 96 and 99 run like tops with about 180K on each.

    They took my baby!

    I can agree though. I have had loads of old old old cars and this is the only vehicle which has broken a brake line - ever!
