    Vortec - Intake Gasket Going Out?

    Well its been a week since my new radiator install, no loss of any coolant or oil. Would it be safe to assume my intake gasket is good? I have no way of telling if this was done before I had the truck and it has 160k on it now. When I installed the radiator I powerwashed the engine bay super...

    how to make your AC blow harder and cooler.

    There is a cabin filter on the other side of the evaporator coils, all it is 2 pieces of window screen with a plastic mesh in between. I cheated and replaced my evaporator coils when I snapped both AC fittings off in front of the firewall and put a new blower motor in, Im good for a few MONTHS lol

    A/C Oil - How Much?

    Quick question before I tackle this tomorrow or sunday, Can I take the compressor off and dump out any remaining oil and just fill the system with 8oz of pag 150 oil and regular freon cans with no extra oil in them? Also if I go with the first suggestion *3oz in the condenser* instead of...

    97 Tahoe where is the orifice tube

    This happened to me too, If it looks identical to the old one it should fit. Mine almost refused to go in, make sure to put a dab of mineral oil on the o-ring and just keep trying, it WILL go in.

    Sway Bar Issue

    The new tires... about 5K. My old set of tires did this also but they were also recalled for some defects. Its probably been like this for 2 years. When you put the steering wheel straight the passenger side looks fine but the drivers wheen its kicking out at the front quite a bit and thats...

    Sway Bar Issue

    Today I was checking the tires.... both front tires have lumps all around the outer tread. They only been on there for about 6 months so something is wrong, did some investigating and found 1 of my front outer sway bar bolts snapped in half. With the 1 bolt broken will it cause the wheel to...

    A/C Oil - How Much?

    Will the 3oz between the 3 R134A cans I have be enough? each one contains 1oz of oil. I bought the high mileage R134A stuff since I am using the compressor thats on my truck, (I dont know how old or how long its been on there) And which one is the the condenser inlet? top or bottom?

    Vortec - Intake Gasket Going Out?

    Not yet, I am afraid if the intake gasket is bad any internal coolant leak will destroy my new/existing working o2 sensors. Seams like you cant fix anything on these without destroying other parts new or used. So where do I start? lol I just got done installing my brand new radiator today so...
