Got the headlights. Came with free bulbs! Camera keeps making pictures file size too large to upload. Will get done soon.

Side note what size tires that suburban have. I need two used 265/70r17s very soon. My front tires are almost shot.

They are only 15s

Bummer, figured they would be. Worth the shot lol. Thanks for letting me know.

Picking up some new to me '08 oem headlights tomorrow. $20 for the pair.

Nice thing about an older vehicle....find **** on the cheap.

Now I just gotta figure out what I want to do with the truck... $500 budget was originally for rims, but the category is now open lol so what should I do?!?!?!

 

[fastgti]

On a serious note what does your truck idle at RPM wise? And also what are your rpm's let's say on cruise control doing 40 mph?

At idle is about 700/750 I think.. And at 40mph it's higher than 50rpms for sure lol... I sit about 1100/1200 while doing 40.

I run about 1500 at 40, I don't hit 4th until 40mph.

Damn, I just noticed you were at 40MPH and 100RPM... Are you running 1:56 gears?!

 

[usaf2006]

Lol yeah I think something is wrong with his gauge

 

[fastgti]

Nope. Stock gears. Just thing maybe the crank shaft position sensor might be bad.

Must be your 35z, I sit right about 1100/1200

So I'm starting to think my rotor on the pass side is warped, and I don't have a LCA bushing issue lol..
Going to investigate more this weekend and we'll see. If it's true, I'll be glad to do an easier job lol...

 

[fastgti]

I am the same way. The wobbling got worse on mine. I am thinking it is pulling the trailer. I just put new pads and rotors on last May. It started about September last year and just got worse this weekend

My pass side wheel bearing has been getting bad, and the vibration is getting worse when I brake, so it makes me think warped rotor. We'll see this weekend.

Do you have a brake bleeder?

 

[fastgti]

I do but I normally do it the old fashion way. It is a lot better. The hose does not fit well onto the bleeder screw

Harbor freight one? I used one of those and used anti seize to seal around the tube and bleeder valve lol

 

[fastgti]

No I got my manual one from a parts store and I got an air one I don't remember I got that from

Rotors seem fine. Used a straight edge to see if the surfaces were uneven at all. Both fronts checked out good. Guess I'll just buy two new hubs and get my bushings done. See what happens after that lol.

Probably go with Timken. Little expensive but have best reviews. Detroit Axle had done sketchy reviews in the past few months.
