Class IV trailer for 1995-1997 Jimmy
Yes you can pull that trailer, I used to pull car trailers to the drag strip on the weekends with my Jimmy. Get your self a class IV trailer hitch, I was using Valley Industries (Hitch) GMC Jimmy Trailer Hitch Class IV Receiver Trailer Hitch Part Number: V1181100 Gross Trailer Weight 4000 lbs./Weight Distributing 6000 lbs. http://www.valleyindustries.com/Default.aspx
You may want to also upgrade your transmission to save it from towing. Install a B&M Shifplus electronic shift improver, http://www.bmracing.com/SPECIALS/ShiftPlus-electronic-Shift-Improver-for-GM and also swap out your servo with a Corvette servo. The servo can be replaced in about 30 min and you don't even have to drop the transmission pan, but if your going to tow, you might as well service the transmission oil and filter and have them swap out the servo. The corvette servo goes for under $45.00 and is a better investment then $1,700 transmission repair.
GM 4L60E Corvette Servo kit: 8642079 at the dealer but you can get them cheaper https://www.700r4l60e.com/store/product.php?productid=233
Things done on my 1996 Jimmy:
3.73s / G80 / Intake / Vette Servo / B&M ShiftPlus / .490 Boost Valve / Poly Tranny Mount / Throttle Blade Modified / MAF screened removed / HPTuned for 93 Octane, and attitude adjuster to the Mall.

Hello, hive! I have a 1999 GMC K1500 Suburban. When I step on the brake pedal, no keys in switch, the dash and marker lights come on. When headlights are off, driving normally, both turn signals work normally, but the dash and marker lights flash with right turn signal. When headlights are on, left signaL works normally, but right signal buzzes a little at the relay, but does not blink, even though the rear lamp does light on the right side. I am at a loss. So is my mechanic. Help??

I'm replacing a lower seat foam and leather. The lower foam is attached to a smaller metal frame and is then bolted to the main seat frame. At the rear of the foam/smaller frame there are 2 locating pins that must fit into holes at the rear of the lower seat before the 2 front screws line up with the holes to put screws in. I' not sure what to call them but I need at least 1, 2 would be better, help please.

"I've come across quite a few articles about lifter damage lately. I assume much of it is marketing hype, but I suspect there’s some truth to it in certain cases. Any thoughts or real-world experiences?"
