    2006 charging at 15.8V

    Hey guys. So this truck has actually done this since I got it. It’s a factory dual alternator truck, no intake heater anymore, and currently has two new batteries in it, though it was the exact same with the old Dekas I’ve had since I got the truck 4.5 years ago. Measured with a multimeter going...

    Need help with diagnosing an ABS issue

    Some of you may remember my thread from about a year ago about weird braking issues and my brakes randomly locking up. The truck hasn’t been driven much for the last year. Finally getting back to working on it and narrowing down the problem. The issue is that after the brakes are applied...

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

    Does anyone have the part number for the WHITE OEM steering shaft bearing for these trucks? Everywhere I’m reading says the green ones are the same as Dorman junk that last 3 months. Even the GM parts number cross referenced as the green one. I found someone had posted that the PN for the good...

    Brakes sticking sometimes

    So, everyday in my way home my brakes will get hot. This is in stop and go traffic so sometimes I have to get on them harder than normal.

    Axle seals leaking

    Ever since I’ve got this truck my pinion seal has leaked a tiny bit. Never enough to worry me but still a leak. Also, when stopping and going you can feel the rear end jump. It’s not bone jarring, but noticeable. Fast forward till a month or so ago and I notice a strong gear oil smell and a...

    Anyone heard of/used Freedom off-road UCAs?

    Doing a little digging these came up. They seem to be a foreign made product. Bigger in the Toyota scene from why I can tell with mixed reviews. Most guys saying tHeYrE nOt UnIbALl but for a DD who wants a uniball. Couldn’t find any forum reviews for a GM, but have 4.3 rating out of 5 on Amazon...

    Questions about lowering

    Hey guys. My truck has leveling keys right now and I’m wanting to lower it. New ball joints gotta go in soon and don’t want to be doing it again plus I like the look better. In the rear, I’m going to pull the overload and possibly a leaf to get the ride quality better. I have bags on the off...

    LBZ cold side boot size at intercooler

    Hey guys. I can’t find the info online and when I measured I couldn’t tell if it was 3.25” or 3”. I’m talking about the size that comes out of the passenger side elbow right out of the intercooler. The boot itself is about 5” long. Right now it’s a straight boot, no reducing, but my egr kit was...

    Another smoker....

    https://youtu.be/Jb1pwGDr_lk Ran across his truck in my YouTube escapades the other night. I won’t lie that it’s a quick truck, tho I feel he’s well over rated the power. Just my opinion, since he’s never been on the dyno. With air that big, (mentioned the bigger turbo is a s5100) and only 100...
