TTequilaWarrior replied to the thread Circuit breaker pops out on one side.My underseat fuse box looks identical to yours. I have breakers in the same places. I think this is a red herring. I have a 2002 Bravada for what it's worth. If later years don't have breakers...

TTequilaWarrior replied to the thread Oil on connectors normal over time or signify problem?.Changing out the CPAS and the camshaft position sensor are fairly easy as all the stuff you'll remove are "accessories" to the engine. The camshaft position sensor is slightly more involved, but...

TTequilaWarrior replied to the thread Ringing whistle? HVAC disruption during servicing? Or?.There's one more vacuum port... sort of. It goes from the bottom of the intake plenum on the right to a connection between the intake runners below it. It's like a hose from the intake to the...

TTequilaWarrior replied to the thread Steering wheel does not "self center" after front end refresh and alignment, new "knock" in front end while steering at low speed..Mevotech Tech Support has been "less than helpful".... they're basically avoiding answering my questions. I'll report back when I have more useful information.

TTequilaWarrior replied to the thread Steering wheel does not "self center" after front end refresh and alignment, new "knock" in front end while steering at low speed..Thanks for the reply. Well... sh!t... I didn't retorque the through bolts at any time. Would it be prudent for me to loosen then tighten them with the truck on the ground? You mentioned the...

They were nice & tight when I installed them. I'm wondering if I'm just hyper sensitive to the motion since I was...

TTequilaWarrior replied to the thread Steering wheel does not "self center" after front end refresh and alignment, new "knock" in front end while steering at low speed..After a quick once over of my lower control arms I noticed that they move inside the bushings - slightly but noticeably - when turning the wheel side to side. The knock occurs when the control arm...

TTequilaWarrior replied to the thread NEED HELP Stick Dipstick!.For engine oil, not enough to matter. If it's "low" cold, it's LOW. If it's "Full" ever, it's full.

TTequilaWarrior replied to the thread Steering wheel does not "self center" after front end refresh and alignment, new "knock" in front end while steering at low speed..I've found loose mounting hardware on some critical stuff(caliper mounting bolts!) straight out of their shop before so this will definitely be the last nail in the coffin for them. I'll report...

I have found that a lot of shops don't know how to align these trucks properly with the lower control arms. A lot of shops are on my black list because of it. I finally found one with an old...

When you replace the lower control arm bracket, the shop will certainly need to loosen those brackets to perform the alignment. FWIW, I handed the guy the torque specs for those bolts, low and...

TTequilaWarrior replied to the thread Steering wheel does not "self center" after front end refresh and alignment, new "knock" in front end while steering at low speed..I replaced everything but the driver's side tie-rod and I "aped" everything down myself. Of course it is entirely possible that my version of tight isn't tight enough or that they loosened stuff...

Who replaced the parts, was it you? Was this noise present right after the alignment or after a hard stop? I would check the 3 lower control arm bolts to see if one is loose or missing. Those...

TTequilaWarrior replied to the thread Steering vehicle veers hard - please read for better explanation.I had very similar experiences after my UCA/LCA install.

TTequilaWarrior replied to the thread 4L60E life extension.Consistency.... the one thing we can count on when operating a reciprocating assembly is heat. If we let it cool constantly there's no telling what the variation from high to low would be. Put a...

TTequilaWarrior replied to the thread Is something wrong with my alignment?.Have you personally inspected it? There's been a spate of bad/worn control arm bushings of late (mine included). Bad control arm bushings will definitely make it squirrely. Even when I take a...
