Thanks for the information but it is definitely cracked at the neck and not a loose connection. I wish it was :no:. I cleaned it up and tried some quick preliminary welding using a solder iron. It's cracked almost all the way around and I only worked on the bottom part I could easily reach...

My Envoy tank is cracked at the fill neck. I know I could try and find a used tank but worry I'll just end up with a bad tank. Has anyone tried welding the tank with a solder iron and fill rods? If this has already been discussed can someone point me to the discussion.

There's quite a bit of talk about broken strut mounts but I was unable to find any images so thought I would post one up. If I missed something and this is redundant, I apologize. The mount sheared off where the shock post goes up through the mount. It manifested itself with some very loud...

I thought about the 3" lift but think I'll stick with the 2.5". It's a nice compromise between the off roading I do and keeping manageable fuel economy for my highway trips. AutoZone's brand name is Duralast but in my experience I feel a better name would be won't last. They were the only ones...

Turns out the strut mount was broken. Need to get back on the road so had to replace it with a won't last :undecided:. Any recommendations for an upgrade?

I don't believe so but won't know for sure till I take it back apart. I only loosened everything up so I could shift everything and make sure it was properly seated. I'm going to pull it apart this week and actually disassemble it. I'll thoroughly inspect it for and breaks or cracks then. The...

I have a 2.5" Liftmeister on my 03 Envoy. Recently the right front strut has been squawking very loudly. I pulled the strut and took it apart to try and figure out the problem. Put it back together and was able to figure it out. Turns out the shock rod bolt won't tighten down and so the rod is...

It had a 103,000 miles when I bought it and now has 113,000. I've only had it 6 months. Right after I bought it I put Mark's lift on it and took it to a mechanic friend to have it aligned. I also had him flush the radiator and do some other maintenance but can't remember if that included the...

I can't get it to fail. It only happened the one time and intermittently for a couple days. Now it's shifting in and out fine. But if I remember the sounds where the same as they are now when it failed to go into 4wd but like I say it wouldn't go in and the service 4wd light came on. I could...

Hopefully someone on here has seen this issue before and can enlighten me. The other day I parked my truck off-road to do some hiking and climbing. It was in 2wd. When I got back and tried to drive out I found I was stuck. Thinking this wasn't a problem since it's 4wd I shifted it from 2wd to...

CruzinQueen I really like the bull bar. Where did you get it?

I would like to know if anyone has reported any negative effect to not having them flipped?

Ok here's some solid information. Mark's 2 1/2" front lift with new bilstein HDs and 2" rear spacers with stock springs and shocks (new bilsteins to come). Chrome Gunner 6 17 X 8 X +25 offset wheels (stock wheels are 17 X 7 X +50 offset). The wheels give an additional 12 mm inside clearance...

I got my Liftmeister 2.5 inch lift installed and took the truck in for a front end alignment. Then I'm poking around and start reading all these posts about flipping the UCAs. Don't want to pull everything apart right now and then have to get it aligned again. At what point would it be...
