I have stainless JBA shorty headers on my 1998 2 door 4wd. Matches up perfectly with the hi flow cat/y pipe from Magna flow that I have. The first set of JBA's I bought had ****** welds with holes in them. Good thing I noticed before installing. Returned and exchanged for new ones. No...
I have a 1998 2 door tahoe, 4wd. It had 225k miles on the original transmission when the worn TCC valve started causing harsh 1-2 shifts and the accompanying P1870 code. I had the transmission rebuilt at that time. This was back in 2012. I still have the truck but it is not my daily driver...
Your 1999 rig came with the Dexcool (orange coolant). No telling what's in there now. Hopefully it is still Dexcool and hopefully it has been flushed in the past. As someone stated earlier, take note of what comes out when you drain it. Going back with Dexcool is a great idea as long as what...
Remember on some of these rigs there are two temperature sending units (sensors), one to send temp info to the computer and one to send info to the gauge cluster. Could be the sender or could be the gauge. You will have to test to find out. Good luck. Keep us posted on what you find.
Interesting. I have a 1998 2 door tahoe with a 383 as well. Also go thru distributors cap like they are going out of style. My rig is not my daily driver anymore and I get tons of condensation all over the motor and inside the distributor cap. When it starts missing, I spray out the...
Glad you got it running. Keep us posted as to your check engine light.
Food for thought. I have a 1998 2 door tahoe. Had it since 2004. On 2 occasions I had an intermittent no start condition. 1st time was a bad wiring harness connector at the fuel pump located above the gas tank. I...
I think the black 1998 tahoe is the sport model. It comes standard with the gray fender flares and rocker panels. Also black grill. I have a 1998 2 door just like it, except my paint is shot. His is still nice.
Kowalski,
It really sounds like you set your distributor with No. 1 cylinder at TDC on the exhaust stroke not the compression stroke. To set the timing correctly, No. 1 cylinder need to be at TDC on the compression stroke. The easiest way to identify if you are on the compression stroke is to...
All good advice above. I crank my engine over by hand using the bolt in the center of the harmonic balancer. Think I have to remove the fan and clutch first. Cant quite remember. I like to use the method described in the link below to set the distributor. Good luck...
Good looking rig you got there. I bought a similar refurbished radio for my 1998 2door sport. Except, the radio came with a wire and small head phone type jack to hook to my phone. Works ok. Blue tooth works so much better though. I bought a cheap bluetooth radio for my pickup. So nice and...
An easy thing to check is the distributor cap. They are know to get corrosion build up on the contacts on the inside. My 1998 tahoe did that and it wouldn't start and would hardly crank due to the timing being all jacked up due to cross fire within the cap. If the other tests mentioned in the...
I'm running a "built" 4L60e in my 1998 2 door tahoe with a rebuilt 383 stroker. The 383 is supposed to be similar to the HT383 from GM. So far the transmission is holding up fine but it only has 15k miles behind the 383 and is not my daily driver anymore. Original tranny was rebuild at 220k...
Is the '95 2 door tahoe you are buying 2wd or 4wd? If it is 4wd can you put the transfer case in neutral and tow home without worrying about disconnecting the driveshaft. Also, on a couple of occasions, I've rented the tow dolly from Uhaul and told them I was towing a honda civic when in fact...
