    Very very rough ride

    i just replaced all of the shocks in my Tahoe with new bilsteins thinking it would improve the ride and it's still the same if not worse. I feel every single tiny bump in the road and ones that are an inch or so feel and sound like I just jumped it. It unreal. What would be the cause for such a...

    Wiring off road lights

    I bought some round off road led lights and need to get them wired up. I bought a harness for it as well but have questions. It has two leads to battery for power and two to the battery for ground. The wires are in pairs so they pretty much both need to go to the same place. My question is this...

    'Hoe is still pulling to the right after alignment

    just had one done. They said it was in spec. I had the tires rotated also and it feels exactly the same. It's ok at slow speeds but once I get past let's say 50 and I let go of the wheel it goes to the right pretty hard. What else could it be? Had ball joints, tie rods all changed.

    Gearing yet again

    so I just found out I have 3.42s and a G80. I also have 285s which are roughly equivalent to 33s. I also tow about 6000lbs. It seems to do fine but would like it to do better. Also, when driving without towing, it seems sluggish after about 50mph. Everything I'm reading leads me to believe that...

    Glove box door

    so the latch on my glove never did latch properly so I would have to slam it several times before it finally stayed closed. Well this weekend we had to do it and it finally broke. The posts that hold the screws for the door to the black piece with the sticker on it broke and now it's in pieces...

    Towing

    whats the most you have towed with your stock 2dr? What's the most you can conceivably tow? I have a '96 2dr with towing pkg and I have been eyeballing a travel trailer that has a dry weight of 4700lbs.

    Poor performance after replacing fuel pump

    we replaced it years ago and ever since it kinda feels like it has no oomph at higher speeds. In residential areas it's fine. On the highway it will get up to speed but it just doesn't do any of it quickly and almost feels like it struggles after 65. No misfires and I have had the intake gasket...

    rear bouncing?

    Hey guys, I have a 2dr 4x4 and have noticed lately that it's taking bumps REALLY hard and if there's a series of bumps, it feels like it literally bounces off the road and if it's on a curve in the road it's like the back end wants to come out and around till it comes back down a little off and...

    Gap guards?

    so I have a body lift and put some on years and years ago when I did it but the rears tore due to rubbing. I probably made them too tight at the corners and now with black wheels it really stands out now and I want to replace them. The problem is that I don't need a whole set and don't want to...

    Camber kit??

    Never heard of it before. Shop is telling me they can't fully align the Tahoe because it needs a camber/tow kit installed. Not so sure I buy that but whatever. What is this sorcery and do I really need it? They want $100 for the part and another $210 for labor. WTF?

    Maroon/red interior

    Does anyone know of a rattle can color match for the maroon interiors? I got what I thought was a close match, used it to spray the plastic pieces on the door where the handle and lock/window buttons are and they didn't quite match. They turned out much brighter. Now since all four pieces...

    Well I got my tahoe put back together

    With the winter and what not, I had put this thing on hold but I finally have it all back together after putting all of the AC parts in, new lights and a new stereo. She fired right up but I did hear a little squealing at the compressor. It kinda sounds like the belt is maybe sliding on the...

    Installing new compressor

    so I'm putting in a new one but I have a question about one of the connectors on the back. There's an orange plug back there that's not on the new one. What do I do with that? Also what kind of oil do I need to put in it?

    Sound issues

    I'm getting very low sound coming from both passenger side speakers, door and rear. I've plugged in good speakers on those sides and they sound fine. Could something have happened to blow both on the same side like that or just bad luck? Also I replaced the head unit and soldered in a new...

    Spray paint inner door handle bezels?

    Mine are so faded they're almost white. I also need to do the inside door handle part too. Not the actual handle but the inside piece. I'd have to tape/mask and paint it while it's on the door. I'm not going through the hassle of drilling out rivets to take it off. Have any of opyou ever done this?

    Where would you install an inline filter for ac?

    I'm thinking of just installing a filter rather than flush the ac. Its going to be a huge pain in the ass to flush the evaporator and I've been told I don't need to by an ac shop. I have also been reading that the newer condensers (96 up) you can't flush them as the fins or passage ways are too...

    Removing accumulator

    Do any of the nuts on the side that go to the evap turn or will I have to twist off the accumulator? I'm having a hard time getting this thing to turn. I'm thinking of cutting the accumulator off at the nut to get it out of the way and then just work on taking the nut off. I also heard of guys...

    Remove Ac hose from condenser help

    I am having a hard time taking this hose off. I'm using a back up wrench in the nut on the condenser but it just will not budge and it's starting to round it off. Any tips? I spray the thing daily with wd40.

    Hell of a time installing new sway bar links

    I'm having a very hard time getting the replacements in. I tried from the bottom up but can't get the socket in to hold it from spinning because it's not lined up properly. Also the UCA is in the way if I try to go top down. There's not much I can play with it because of the sleeve. Any tricks...

    New rotors?

    While doing the sway bar links, I noticed at least one of my rotors was pretty warped. If I can have them turned, I'm going to just replace them. Any suggestions on good replacements? I don't exactly wanna break the bank but I don't want cheapos either. Thanks.
