    you basically need someone with hp tuners. 2 credits and 5 mins time. last time I was poking around on Facebook marketplace there was a guy in Austin offering to do it. you might check there. 5$ fix... buy a screen and put it back in. curious question, if it cost you an engine at 200k...

    Stripped head bolt hole

    I have read to make sure you blow the hole out, if not it can strip the bolt. but I don't know. if it was my daily, I'd run a heli coil in it and call it a day.

    Anyone “upgraded” from the tensioner style AC compressor to the stretchy belt?

    you might research the compressor style itself. they might have went from something that cycles with a low side switch to something like a v7 variable displacement. I find they do cool better at idle speeds but few different switches and wiring to change them. not sure if the auto hvac would...

    Blend Door Replacement

    bit of a Grey area I guess, if he did something in it that showed the company in a bad light, I could see it. but if they just didn't want people to know how to do it themselves, because it might take away work. that's a shame. guy I work with is huge into tik tok, oddly he's old than me lol...

    Coolant leak Issues

    how many miles are on this thing? do you do any of your own mechanic work? cause it's probably about time for a full cooling system rebuild. there's some plastic T's up at the firewall that usually fail first, but looks like yours is something else. but no matter. the T's will go soon anyways...

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    junkyard guys are a different breed. I believe it started over on the yellow bullet board. they would find old 80 smog motor 350s in the junk yard, the more miles the better, seasoned they'd call it. they did put a big turbo cam in it. run it on good gas, hang a big turbo in something like a g...

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    it is amazing how ls main and rod bearings are almost always mint, cam bearings, complete junk. I tell you, years ago I found a picture of some cam bearings from a zero mile crate motor, guy was swapping in a cam before putting it on the hot rod and the bearings had copper showing. the drag...

    Anyone “upgraded” from the tensioner style AC compressor to the stretchy belt?

    you know, you're right the compressor does bolt straight to the block on mine. I didn't realize the trucks had a extra bracket (my yukon doesn't have a belt driven ac) I just remembered loosening it up and trying to move it around thinking it might have some slop in the mounting holes, but nope...

    Anyone “upgraded” from the tensioner style AC compressor to the stretchy belt?

    it doesn't seem to matter with ac off or on.

    Anyone “upgraded” from the tensioner style AC compressor to the stretchy belt?

    what I mainly saw when researching was aluminum blocks but the cars like corvette, gto/holdens and camaros are also more likely to be driven hard. I got to where I could make it run it off quickly on a test drive by stabbing the gas in 2nd gear, run up to redline and let off the throttle without...

    Anyone “upgraded” from the tensioner style AC compressor to the stretchy belt?

    you can buy the belts different size stretchy belts to. so I don't think you'd need to change the compressor? I fought thru the belts on my c6. proper annoying. Google around and holy crap, it's a ls thing. there's a 100 page thread on a gto board. once it starts it doesn't stop on its own...

    Blend Door Replacement

    the dealership got youtube to remove the how to videos? wow that's just awful. ugh. unless maybe the employees recorded it on the clock in the dealership shop but even that's a stretch. it's flat rate. it's not like going slower to record something hurts anyone but the tech. shady
