    98 2 door tahoe 4x4 in sand

    I'm a few months late, but it performed GREAT in the sand. I aired down to about 9 lbs/tire. The only time that I had to use reverse was to back out of my spot near the beach. I climbed the biggest and first hill (named "Test hill") in 1st gear @5k rpm without issue. In fact, I misjudged the...

    My 1998 2-door build is done - Pics, impressions (and need some input)

    I do have a scanner, but not with me. I do have one of the Bluetooth OBD2 things that I could check it with. I paid the extra money for all of the extra PIDs. So, that would just be the engine temperature, correct?

    My 1998 2-door build is done - Pics, impressions (and need some input)

    I have a 97 2 door 4x4 with a mild build vortec 350 (CC 08-501-8 cam with supporting head work), OBX stainless headers, 3" true duals, a BB tune, and "built" 4l60e, and I'm experiencing what I think is a smiliar trans issues as you. However, I went from 3.42 to 4.10 gears front and rear. I also...

    Accessing roof rack holes from inside vehicle...

    I got a chance to do the front two last night. SUPER pain in the ass compared to the rears. Most of the issues were because I didn't drop the headliner, and the trim. I only took the trim piece that goes from the windshield to the panel where the seat belt bolts to off, and I took the seat belt...

    98 2 door tahoe 4x4 in sand

    I plan on taking my Tahoe to our annual family camping trip this weekend, and there are sand dunes about 30 minutes away from where we are staying. I am planning on taking my 2 door there, but I would like to know what to expect. It has a mild build 350 vortec, cranked keys (just a little)...

    Accessing roof rack holes from inside vehicle...

    Since somebody is interested, I will provide an update. I got the rears done. I ended up bending pieces of 2" wide steel into "U" shape to fit over the corner pieces of the rack. Then, I used regular hex head grade 8 3/8" bolts and threaded them into the plate that I made. I did weld lock nuts...

    Accessing roof rack holes from inside vehicle...

    Just in case anyone else stumbles upon this thread.... I got the chance to peek under the rear of the headliner today. I can easily fit 2" flat stock through the hole that is in the corners of where the roof bends down to the rear/side. My plan is to drill 2 holes in the flat stock that match...

    Accessing roof rack holes from inside vehicle...

    Ahh damn. I actually JUST bought the corner piecr today from a guy in a Facebook group. Thank you, though. Also, is it double walled the entire width and length for the roof? Or just along the corners where the sides meet the roof? I did see a few pics on Google images but there wasn't...

    Accessing roof rack holes from inside vehicle...

    Anyone? I've tried to google, and have found a few pictures, but nothing really up close of the spot directly under the holes. I need to come up with a solution for this, hopefully a permanent, structurally solid one.

    Accessing roof rack holes from inside vehicle...

    Hey all. I have a 97 2 door Tahoe. Long story short, my kayack ripped the bolts out of the roof on the driver's rear bracket. I lost the bracket, and am now left with two gaping holes. At first, I was just going to buy the rubber well nuts for the rear one, buy a replacement, and put it back...

    Subwoofer advice

    There are a ton of "underground," or lesser-known brands out now that can be had for cheaper and perform better than the big brands. I'd head over to http://store.soundsolutionsaudio.com/ and check out what they have. You should be able to get a nice 12" or 15" around 2000-3000 watts and run it...

    That's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

    140amp alt vs 105

    Hey all, I currently have the 105 amp alternator on my 2 door 97 tahoe. Is the 140 a plug and play, or is the housing larger? Looking for a higher amperage for stereo, but I don't want to spend $300+. 35 extra amps should do the trick.

    Cylinder 2 and 4 misfire

    I do have dash command already, where would I find the misfire parameters? Would I find them in the list of available PIDs and add them? As far as the CEL, I initially thought everything was good, but as it turns out, the bulb is either burned out or it's disconnected. When I was checking the...

    Cylinder 2 and 4 misfire

    Willxfs, thats sort of funny, but I do feel sorry for you! Last friday, I bought another O2 sensor to replace the already new (well, 2500 miles old) one on bank 2. I also bought the AC Delco cap and replaced my 2500 mile old MSD cap with that. I started it up, and had the same issue (I think)...

    I don't have any coolant loss, luckily.

    Cylinder 2 and 4 misfire

    Could the cap be just bad enough to cause a very small misfire? I obviously know it can be bad enough to cause major misfires...I'd just think that if two of the leads in the cap shorted to each other, it would be a sort of "all or nothing" type of deal. I already pulled the passenger side...

    Cylinder 2 and 4 misfire

    Hey all. So, I have 3xxx misfires on cylinder 2 and cylinder 4 in the history when I had the shop scan the obd2 for a small misfire that I can feel. I can only feel it when I'm in gear, at idle, with my foot on the brake. It's a very small stutter, and also when it's in neutral/park and you tap...

    New motor issues.

    This might sound stupid, but do you have a known good distributor cap laying around? I rebuilt my 350, and bought an msd distributor, cap, coil, and wires. When we did the first start up, I was getting terrible misfires out of 2 cylinders. I re-adjusted the valves about 47 times, but it was...

    I need help deciding on gearing

    Thanks for the input guys. David, I know that any fuel "economy" gets thrown away when towing anything. When towing, I don't really care what mileage I'm getting. However, I do drive this thing on occasion or when my beater breaks down, so I'd like to retain mid-teens. I will go ahead with the...

    I need help deciding on gearing

    It currently has a BB tune on it. I did just email them yesterday though, I feel like it doesn't have the response that it should. I'm almost thinking i will go with the 4.10s and if it's too much, try to step up to 285s and see how that works!

    I need help deciding on gearing

    I have a 19ft camper that I'd like to start towing with my tahoe. I just towed it to a campground this weekend and it felt like an s10 towing a house. I'm really leaning towards the 4.10s, as I've heard the switch from 3.42-3.73 won't be that much of an improvement. On the other hand, I don't...
