Dr's Appointment for the Sierra - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So, I'm bringing my '05 K-1500 into my garage tomorrow for a day of therapy. On the agenda:
1. Right Front brake rotor.
2. Raise the front end with new torsion bar keys.
3. Install new front shocks - Ranchos.
4. New rear brake pads.
5. Oil Change.
6. New Air filter.
7. New plugs.
8. Try to clean the grounds for the ABS sensors so that the infernal abs light goes off.

Good thing I'm on holidays!

Any advice?

why just the front right rotor?

An alignment after you raise the front of the truck. Might wanna try cranking the bars with factory keys before you go through the trouble of replacing them.

What abs codes are you getting?
