    1994 Tahoe lift gate

    is there a bend in the glass striker bar? its not supposed to be bent and if it is it can actually pull on the glass enough to hold the latch from releasing enough to let the glass pop. learned that one with a wife that likes to shut things hard enough to pop ear drums.

    Rear door speaker wiring problems

    its likely either a problem with the oem connector or a problem between the door and the rest of the truck. i have seen the oem connector fail and not just on the speakers in a gm. i have seen the wires break inside the loom/flex tube after years of being bent around.

    Suspension from Walmart?

    walmart website isnt really walmart anymore. think of it like amazon but the amazon choice items can also be found in an amazon store if it existed. so on the same token you really dont know what your getting as there is probably little if any seller quality checks to make sure the seller is...

    Bose 9 speaker system

    i don't really have specific input here i did have the monsoon bose in an 07. it sounded pretty good but i replaced the hu as the disc changer was going nuts and that took it to a new level of awesome. everything sounded crisper and the bass was alot better.

    speaker question.

    ok so you do have the crossover hooked up for that csx kit right? that is going to make a big difference on your problem. the 62ix isnt going to be great for bass to begin with. the last probable problem i can personally suggest is infinity generally isnt great for bass. they have primarily...

    Any good shops that re-chrome wheels?

    https://www.abewheels.com/ https://www.awrswheelrepair.com/location/Phillipsburg/08865/ https://www.wheelcollision.com/ granted google doesn't know any difference if they are still an active shop but i could keep going. that's just google rim repair and picking east cost states.

    95 yukon sputtering mising

    those tbi had a few issues to look at that could also be the culprit. while its running at idle have your while pan air cleaner assembly removed and physically look at the injectors spray pattern. it should be a nice clean cone. slowly open the throttle by hand and continue to watch the spray...

    Moog Dust Boot Question / Clarification

    you really shouldn't pump grease in there untill it swells anyway. the boot is literally just a dust boot primarily there to keep debris out. it does keep the grease from coming out through normal driving not to pack extra grease in there.

    Moog Dust Boot Question / Clarification

    are you sure the driver side just wasn't fully pregreased and the passenger the mfg was being over zealous and just filled it? regardless of the quality of the dust boot there will be a point it just lets the grease come out. so its possible its just coming out because there's no room for...

    Is there a cure for rear end squatting when towing 2022 Yukon with Mag Ride

    easiest solution so your not regularly airing the rear up and down manually is to add torsion bars to your hitch setup. it will distribute the tongue weight differently and help get your rear end back up. once you have the torsion hitch and the brackets on the trailer it would only take an...

    Cold air filter on a 2003?? debating putting a K&JN colod air filter on our Tahoe, it's running strong at 255k miles

    a cai has it limitations on alot of vehicles and for quite a few the gains dont match the cost unless your really just after the extra growl. as per the serious/joke from adriver dont be fooled by a tbspacer sales pitch. a tb spacer does have some benefits in some cases but the sales pitch for...

    Need some GOOD Led headlight bulbs

    i have olm leds in my accord going on 5 years now. the only annoying part with them is the locking ring can rotate to focus the beam the way you want. took me a while to dial them in and lock them in place with the provided set screw.

    Truck doesn’t turn over after dead battery fix

    some vehicles will specifically have the antitheft indicator illuminate when it shuts down. a high end scanner should be able to indicate why the engine shutdown. atleast the ones ive used have indicators for systems that are operating. if the scanner can see the antitheft system it will...

    Truck doesn’t turn over after dead battery fix

    no the key should be coded to your truck on that model. if the key isnt quite right anymore it may allow you to start it but it will shut off right away. other side if the device that reads the key is getting weak it could do the same thing. not really a gm specific problem either. most...

    2000 Tahoe transmission slip from 1-2

    do you have the oddball 5.7 version or the newer engine? if you have the 5.7 version its a cheap part to throw at it but its something to try. the throttle position sensor can get funky not throw a code and cause it to act up shifting. regardless lets first go with give us some mlre details...

    Using factory amp bypass harness I get no sound from tweeters

    without the amp in place the tweeters and woofer are separated. you will likely need to buy crossovers to wire inline to separate the signal for the woofers and tweeters. the secondary harness behind the hvac is for the non bose models that wouldn't have tweeters so they wouldn't be tied in.

    4:56…. Or … 4:88? That’s the Question

    i went 33s and kept the stock gearing but that was a manual trans on that and i still had plenty of cases i wish i had done 4.11. totally different truck than what we are talking about but bigger tires and regearing should always be considered regardless of the truck.

    4:56…. Or … 4:88? That’s the Question

    if your running a 3.73 now and haven't had any issues why change it. 4.88 will be a pretty significant change and may even make normal dd annoying as it will possibly want to jump from a stop. the usual goal when regearing for tires is to bring it closer back to stock rpms so 4.11s would do...

    Would pulling a vacuum on the PCV side of the crankcase restore lost power from worn rings?

    i'm also somewhat confused. so the top side of your crankcase is your valve covers. i would like to suggest staying as far away from comparing a gm product to a bmw. those cars are just an engineering nightmare with a ton of stuff that equally mind blowing as a wtf moment. so the problem is...
