    yea. I bet to many my name and prodigal son style return to this forum strikes at the very least an eyebrow raise and a dog style head tilt. to many more it's like.. 'who the fck is this joker??' behold. it is spring 2015. my TB is sexy, slightly visually modded, and ready for some real...

    Tranny line fun!! (Phrasing..) Also a tie rod issue?

    Cool, thanks for the info. What indication would I have of the rack having problems? Also I am dropping the truck at AAMCO in the morning.

    Ahh, yes. Good call. I mean it is AAMCO so I want to believe they are on the up n up, but ya never know... Sounds like it's worth the $325 to have them do it. Seems like new lines are only about $50 if I get them off rock auto, so the extra $275 definitely seems worth the hassle you went...

    Tranny line fun!! (Phrasing..) Also a tie rod issue?

    Thanks for the vote of confidence. I'm also kinda short on time and tools as well, so the shop will probably get it. I am gonna decline the 200 dollar 'flush (drain), filter and refill' and just do that myself soon when it's time to do the diffs and xfer case fluids. I think it's fairly fair...

    I know, I know, I only pop up here anymore when I have problems.. But hey that's what forums are for, right? :) JIC my profile info isn't there or whatever I have a 2006 trailblazer LS W/4.2L I6 and 4L60-E trans, and (apparently this matters to the issue at hand) dual climate control with...

    Potential G80 rear auto- locking diff malfunction

    Changed the fluid bout 26000 miles ago over the summer. Checked the level, it's fine. Fluid looks mostly clear, and smells like new gear oil (not burnt or contaminated by anything). I used fully synthetic gear oil, whatever weight is recommended, I can't remember off the top of my head. 80w90...

    Potential G80 rear auto- locking diff malfunction

    Sounds like a plan. I have to ask, though, is this gonna limit me being able to go offroading until I get a new diff/axle? There is often a decent amount of wheelspin during my offroading adventures.. That would suck as the coming summer season (hopefully) sees a lift and some new offroad...

    Potential G80 rear auto- locking diff malfunction

    Hello all! First, let me just apologize for my extended hiatus. Let's just say I had some things to take care of and unfortunately constantly being online was just not in the cards. Luckily, however, I have had no issues or problems (or sadly mods :( ) to comment about so, eh. No harm, no foul...

    Make a post, win some snap on tools (We have a winner - congrats Sparky!)

    Yeeeah baby! Daddy needs a new ratchet/socket set! Thanks for all the videos man. Helped me do all my maintenance when I first got'er and I looked like such a pro at Carlisle changing my plugs because I had watched the video literally the night before. Wicked cool to meet the man behind the...

    PCM tune...how do I know if my TB has had one or not?

    Mine has no rev limiter that I'm aware of (was scared to take it past 4k rpm) yet I am almost positive it does not have a tune. I can tell it has 'torque management' because because the throttle body does not open WOT on command.. it takes a good 2.5 seconds to open WOT after the pedal is...
