    Torque Converter Questions

    Never heard anything from my R Mike installed 3 years ago. Guess I'm one of the lucky ones. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

    Best PreBuilt Transmission Brands

    I'm not if Inglewood has been recommended. That's who I would go with if I had to rebuild my Inglewood transmission again. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

    Transgo jr and line pressure spring kit

    I would highly suggest calling Mike L. and setting up an appointment with him to have the trans worked on at his shop. He is only about 2 hrs from San Diego. You won't regret it. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

    Info: Powerstop, EBC, or stock brakes?

    I was able to install the Powerstop Z36 brake kit last Friday. After driving around for the last couple days I like them. They are better than the stock brakes I had on for the last 218k miles. Takes less break pedal pressure to stop the truck than before. Just overall better. I haven't towed...

    Need PN for 2006 steering shaft bearing (the GOOD one)

    The Dorman one was horrible. Worst than my old one I took out. The GM I got was good and tight.

    Don't get the Dorman one. It sucks and is looser than a 10 year old OEM one. I ended up ordering one from gm parts now with a discount. Works great and no noise. 88963617

    Mike L Transmission

    It's been about a year since I got my cooler from Mike. This is one great trans cooler. In 100f+ temps I used to see 220-225 trans temps. Now I average around 200f. In summer the area I live in averages 100f +-10f. This is one of the best investments I have made for my truck.

    Brake Flush

    Like Russ, I run speed bleeders and they work great. Been running them for the last 8 years.

    Mike L Transmission

    Mike's coolers are great. It definitely was a good investment. I had one installed last year and transmission temps average under 200f now. A good 20f/30f lower than before depending on outside temps and how much the transmission is working/shifting. I rarely see over 200f - 220f now. I'm also...

    As long as you followed the torquing sequence of 74ft. Lbs and then 105 degrees you will be fine. Next time get a new bolt. Your not supposed to reuse bolts that are torque to yield.

    Holy harmonic balancer Batman!

    Here this is exactly how it was explained to me. This is a better explanation than my other post. "each point on the bolt is 30* (360* divided by 12 is 30*), the valley of the point is half way between each point (15*). so you mark a bolt point to the washer and balancer, then count 3 points...

    It is recommended to use a new bolt when reinstalling the HB. But I have to say on my first wp job I reused the bolt. By the time I got to my 3rd water pump I replaced it. Tightening sequence is tighten to 74 ft. Lbs. 2nd step is 105 degrees. James taught me how to mark and count the points...

    Fyi you might have to put the hood in the service position to make it easier and fit a bigger cheater bar.

    I got this for under $50 at the time. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H3KJQ83/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_K99M2V70FQ1FQJPZ96JA?psc=1 I couldn't justify spending a couple hundred dollars for minimal usage.

    Yup as others have said 3/4 inch breaker bar and cheater pipe. I have done it multiple times with no problem.

    2008 Yukon 2500 Wet Floor

    Your going to have to pull that carpet back to see. Both of those ideas sound like a good place to start.

    Do you have a sun/moon roof? It could be coming from a failed seal/silicone between the windshield and frame of the truck

    Awesome. I'll make sure to hit him up when the time comes. I rather spend my money with the supporting vendors.
