    POP!! Goes the rear end..

    Tahoeman21, that would be correct as it should be around 2400 - 2500 rpm's at 80mph with that gear ratio & tire setup.

    King, I posted a quick reply on that thread for the body lift. Important rule for forums is to keep on topic. This way we don't have to jump around & search like crazy.

    POP!! Goes the rear end..

    Did you check and see what gears you have now? Below is a quick chart for reference: 3.42's: 1600 rpm @ 65 mph 3.73's: 1750 rpm @ 65 mph 4.11's: 1900 rpm @ 65 mph Keep in mind that you may end up losing .5 - 1 mpg due to the gear swap but would provide the torque to haul the quads, &...

    King; you can run 33's with stock 3.42 or 3.73. I did on mine & she ran pretty well especially considering it was my daily driver. It was a little sluggish off the line but cruising & highway passing was fine. My mpg's were 14-15 city & 15-17 highway. The main question is how will this...

    99 Denali HID Install

    Sorry to hear/read about your bad customer service experience. I'm sure we have all experienced it at some point to where we just wanted to give up on the project we were working on at that point in time. However, your comparison & driving shot look fantastic. I had been contemplating doing...

    POP!! Goes the rear end..

    OUCH! I know exactly what you mean as I had recently regeared my Tahoe from stock 3.42 with G80 to 4.56 AAM (OEM) with an Eaton/Detroit True Trac. I got my gears, master install kits, & posi from Ron's Machining Service. http://www.ronsmachiningservice.net He was extremely helpful & once...

    In my haste I forgot to check if you have 2wd or 4wd. This 14 bolt is for a 4wd.

    POP!! Goes the rear end..

    If you are looking for a direct swap, search the 14 bolt SF (semi-floater). It is a 6 lug 3/4 ton axle which will bolt up to your Yukon. You will have to get different u-joints but they are available at auto parts stores. IIRC you may have to tweak the brake lines...idk. Also, I know of such...

    285 x 75 x 16 Tires

    You can fit 285's on stock rims. However, it would be better to get some aftermarket 16x8 rims at a minimum. In my experience when I put 285's on my Tahoe with the new rims, the only time I rubbed a bit on the air dam was when I fully turned in either direction. Also, on major suspension...

    Any Golfers on the boards?:]

    I may play today...it is either that or change the hinge pins/bushings on my driver side door. Tough call.

    SSBC force 10 is a great way to go. That is what I have on my '99 LT. http://www.ssbrakes.com

    Sas, thanks for the quick reply. Just to clarify, it does look like the one that are on our Hoes, right? I am not certain when they changed to the NBS style mirrors. If so, I will take it. Paypal is quickest but I would be able to offer some options. Since you stated you were going back this...

    Sas, thanks for the quick reply. Just to clarify, it does look like the one pictured correct? If so, I will take it. Paypal is quickest but I would be able to offer some options. Since you stated you were going back this week I wanted to get you the funds ASAP. I will PM you for further info.

    Look what i got..

    I'm still in search of a replacement for the passenger side mirror & backing plate. I assume since it is an Escalade that it will have the power/heated/auto dim feature mirrors like my LT. Let me know what the cost would be.

    Is the passenger side mirror intact? I have a ’99 OBS Tahoe LT & need to replace the glass. Some yahoo in a newer F150 decided he needed to do drift left into my lane in order to make his right turn.

    E-bay brush guard?? yay or nay

    Go for it. Hunter is a great product. It ships same day in most cases and is easily installed with a buddy as it bolts right on to the frame by removing the tow hooks. You can do it solo.
