    Driver side front clunk clunk

    It's been a while since I've been in the forum guys, but have a lingering issue with my 96 2dr. tahoe. If you recall I replaced the shocks, and sway bar links after noticing a clunk in the front end near the driver side. The links needed replacing anyway as one was broke off. Today my...

    thorley-301yded-c

    Guys I'm looking for some mid-length Thorley headers for my 96 2door Tahoe. It is my understanding that Thorley no longer makes the mid-length tri-y headers for the 4x4 due to low demand. I gotta think somebody has a left over kit out there somewhere? Would a kit for a same year Chevy pickup work?

    I can add! Nother laughable episode in my life.

    I have re-affirmed my powers of deduction and that 1+1+1 = $583.00. Yes it does, read on as you have time. So I received a text at 0600hrs this morning from my daughter. 'Dad, my laptop crapped out for good this time. My other one quit as well'. Can you come to MSU tomorrow and help me out with...

    Guys, I've noticed with my 96 2dr (52k miles now) that when I hit the 2 wheel drive button after being in 4 hi, that it takes some time for the front axle to disengage. It could be the transfer case but I feel the torque release from the front end and sometimes here a clunk. I've experimented...

    tahoe recall items?

    I'm the second owner of a 1996 2dr. tahoe. When I bought the rig in July I asked the original owner if he had been advised of any recalls on the vehicle and if so what was done.

    I need to replace the original shocks on my 1996 2dr. tahoe (5.7l). Rig only has 46k miles on it (yep you read it right).
