    Hey Vortec Guys! / Sierra pickup / Suburban / Yukon etc - Finally has Index!

    Put them on Snapfish.com. Snapfish actually sells products using pictures - so they shouldn't ever charge to host the pictures. That would violate their revenue model.

    Flippac Torsion Bar Broke in Peru

    DAH - My brain went, "Torsion Bar". That's what happens when your rig is an 02 Chevy with IFS and T-Bar. My bad.

    Backend Bottoms out easily...

    This is how my Air Lift bags were. When pressured up - they filled the springs top to bottom and bulged between the coils.

    what to do?

    Some basics to check: 1) As others mentioned - trapped mud and bugs; 2) Is there a fan shroud? If yes, make sure it's still there as that is a big part of allowing the fan to pull air through the radiator; 3) How clean is your engine? A dirty/greasy engine traps heat - Gunk is your friend. Good...

    Flippac Torsion Bar Broke in Peru

    I guess if you snapped it, then you don't need a torsion bar puller to relieve the tension to get it out (not sure about putting it back in though). Mark your adjuster bolt so you can get it back in about the same spot because T-Bar adjustments typically require an alignment on the front wheels...

    Hey Vortec Guys! / Sierra pickup / Suburban / Yukon etc - Finally has Index!

    Love it when parts from Summit show up. Just got a Power Master 225A alternator for my Avalanche to better handle all of the electro-goodies. 150A output at idle, should be far better than my factory 105A alternator. Now, I'm gathering the parts list for how big of cables I can go to free it all up.

    Hey Vortec Guys! / Sierra pickup / Suburban / Yukon etc - Finally has Index!

    I just had to have a new (January) knock sensor replaced as it was defective. The good thing is it was under warranty because I paid to have them replaced before as I didn't have the time to do it myself.

    Will spraying carb cleaner around the intake detect a leak by the idle increasing or will the computer instantly detect that and adjust it down?

    Stock Vehicles in the Wild ???

    ^^THIS^^ When I do the mods to my Avalanche and/or kit - they fall into one of (or ideally multiple) the following categories: Capability, Reliability, Recoverability, Survivability. // Capability - What allows me to go places I couldn't go before but want to go to - and expand the envelope so...

    FS: 2017 Turtleback Expedition Trailer (AZ)

    Hi - nice setup. I am not interested in buying it, but would like to ask you a few questions if you don't mind, about some of your gear. // 1) I'm in the market for a RTT. I was going to buy a Howling Moon but getting one seems to be an issue (been waiting since early March) and am now looking...

    Hey Vortec Guys! / Sierra pickup / Suburban / Yukon etc - Finally has Index!

    Interesting on the new plugs Rayra - I purchased those same plugs and they were all gapped at .043 right out of the box. Yours must have come out of the factory on the Friday before Memorial Day at about 3:30pm.

    Beating a dead horse, but.... Hiking boots?

    I drive in Merrill Moab's, but if I'm going on a longer hike or the terrain looks like more ankle support is warranted, I wear my Asolo's.

    Anti-Sway Bars with RTT?

    Cool thanks. My Av is a T-Bar IFS front / Live Coil rear. On the front, the sway bar links are a straight bolt through - so a bit of a pain to connect and disconnect. The Warrior Products quick disconnects have a pin in the middle - so wondering if those are a viable solution? I don't do rock...

    2017 Chevy Colorado ZR2

    Dealer in Riverside, CA has a ZR2 gas - awesome little truck - but when they took the $43K MSRP and then added another $20K to it as dealer markup - no thanks. I would want the diesel - it will be an additional $3K.

    U-Joints - Need Some Info

    Hmmm - I've already strengthened both ends of that equation: Trans and Rearend. Which would make the current weak links the U-Joints - right? I'm not opposed to using factory - but I too am a Spicer guy (on my race car) and was looking to add a bit more strength for the trail. Good points on...

    Why is Howling Moon So Bad at Business?

    Thanks - just called Adventure Ready - they sell them, but haven't been able to get them for months now. Seems like HM is having themselves an issue.
