the 7 degree taper seems way off for the upper ball join but fits the tie rod hole. I'll confirm the fit of the 10 degree when I get it. I haven't tried the original yet but the new Moog ES409 doesn't stick through enough as is. My used parts were from a 2001 2500HD

Problem with using the old LCAs is the turning radius is cut down because of the stamped LCA. (At least that's what I hear) I have a 7 degree taper that seems like a good fit for reaming the tie rod but doesn't fit the ball joint holes. I have a 10 degree coming tomorrow that should fit that

Okay, I got my parts from rockauto today and went through the boxes to make sure everything was in there. I grabbed one of the tie rod ends to check the fit in the spindle and it only sticks through about two threads even after a tap with a dead blow mallet to make sure it was seated. Looks like...

Electrical issues can lead to mechanical failures. If the pressures are good it's probably electrical, but if the pressures are low and it's electrical it has already cause internal damage. You can chase electrical issues till the cows come home, but a pressure test puts you in the right direction.

I should clarify that the Harbor freight gauge is for testing only. It has 6' long hose that will reach from the transmission pressure port up the side of vehicle and in the window. The permanent gauge cam from Summit.

I got my transmission pressure gauge from Harbor freight. You should see at least 50lbs. at an idle, 75-100lbs. In reverse. Once you start moving you should see transmission pressure go up as more pressure is against the vehicle momentum. Mine will run 50 to 150 driving depending on the load...

Have you tried putting a transmission pressure gauge on it? The pressures will tell you a lot about the inside condition of your transmission

It's always satisfying when you can do your own work, know it's done right and save a ton of money in the process! and I know what you mean about the old hands aching!

I remember on the video the guy said 27" worked perfectly

I still have to get the hoses too.

I ordered my parts from rockauto last night. Moog upper control arms, bushings and moog ball joints for the lowers, new Timken bearings, ES409 tie rod ends, calipers, pads and stabilizer links. I think I can clean up the rotors, they have some rust from sitting but no wear. $1049.00 with tax and...

Thank You!

That's one thing I haven't figured yet is the hoses. Big T do remember where you got your braided stainless lines and what the part number is?

Awesome! My brother said there was a video but I couldn't seem to find it. Good to know those lower control arms will fit! Thanks ak diesel driver!

I will let you guys know about the lower control arms. I've read that they will fit but won't believe it 100% until I see it myself. For the $100 I spent on the parts I got, it was well worth it to me to gamble that it will work. Holding it up under the stamped welded one that's on there now...

I agree with your post 100%! The harmonic balancer is one of the first things I check when I get one. Love the fluid dampers but they are pricey! Put one on my 96 when I fixed a antifreeze leak up front and switched it over to mechanical injection ( it is standard NV4500) and whether it was...

After cooler or charge air cooler is when you take the pressurized air from your turbo and before it is goes into the intake you run it through something to cool the air. The pressurised intake air can be very hot!, especially with the inefficient turbos that GM used. Air or water can be used, I...

Stoney, have you thought of putting an aftercooler on your truck? It can be done without breaking the bank!

I'm just outside of Sinclairville, N.Y. in Chautauqua County. You'd be about 2 hours and 45 minutes depending on your address.

Thanks everybody for the warm welcome! In my brake conversion I'm using the lower control arms from the 2001 (which I hear will fit) and from what I've read the originals will not let the truck steer as sharp. Good to hear about the ES409 tie rod fitting! The Yukon has a 5.9 in it, the truck is...
