New springs should arrive tomorrow.
I think it's starting out in 2nd gear too.
More bugs to figure out.

Washed it today. Told my dad that we needed to discuss a few things on it and he should come over. Had him get in it and we went for a short drive down the road.

I kinda want a burb. I guess they discod the 2500s in '13. Do you know if or when 4lo went? My son's '10 1500 doesn't have it.

That depends on which transfer case is in it. Most still had/have 4wd low range.

Not certain about the burbs/tahoes but on the half ton pickups during that time frame I believe it was only the Denalis that had the awd transfer case without 4lo.

I think if I get serious I'm gonna shoot for a 6.2 'hoe

I'm 150% certain the exhaust will get cut off and the tires completely roasted off before the engine comes out.

out with the 5.3, in with the 6.2?

In the future, yes.

454 the yukon, fix that thing up the old fashioned way.

I think I said the springs were UMI.
They are SPC.


OEM replacement Moog next to it...

 

[redline4]

No spacers, just the spring.
Sits at the same height...


I'm going to need my spring compressors from work to wedge that thing in there with spacers.

Seems like the logical thing to do.

Agreed

 

[davidwyby]

It would be really weird not to.

It just so happens to be AWD, but I am willing to put in the effort to remove the front driveshaft to make burnouts possible.

That seems like the only respectable thing to do to give it one last hoorah before scrapping it out. Videos please!

I'm upset the rear seat DVD player doesn't work.
