    Throttle Body Upgrade ?

    Your intake is fine, that's a waste of money. Unless you get a new intake manifold, you're still going to have the same size opening behind the throttle body whether you use the one you have now, or a much larger one. An intake manifold is a few steps beyond what you want to do to make it...

    Alternator

    If yours is going bad, the most common failure point on an alternator is the Voltage Regulator. If you pull the alt, it's two screws, swap it over, and reinstall the alt. Cost about $40-$50 for the part. Is yours not charging? If you know the old slot cars with the needle in the track...

    Oil life question

    So I have an 02, and for my vehicle the OLM is based off only two things: Oil temp and RPMs. Whether or not your newer model includes all that extra, I don't know. (We didn't even get all of that before 03). It's winter time, so I would expect that Oil life to be reduced. IMO, that OLM is...

    '02 Tahoe radio recommendations?

    Any new head unit you add is going to need a Pac-audio or axxess module, there are a few other companies. You can buy one that does all, but without it you will lose the door chimes (if you really want those), you will lose steering wheel controls (if you have those), or if it has the media...

    Factory Amplifier RMS??

    I can't tell you, but I can tell you how to figure it out. Ohm's law. You would measure AC voltage and square it, times resistance, for that channel. You would also need to know what the resistance was on your sub. Is the coil blown or is there some other problem? If you can measure the...

    Stupid Question: How to effectively clean interior windows?

    Just a microfiber towel. No fluids or anything else. I have a center console that holds my tool kit, an oil rag, a small 8 or 10 oz bottle with gojo, and a microfiber towel. When I see my windshield is dirty, I spend the next two or three red lights wiping it down. I think the wetness...

    Which is best fuse to pull for anti-theft?

    You won't mess it up. With the engine running, pulling the fuel pump relay is how you change the fuel filter. It stops pumping fuel, and it burns off what it can in the line. People knew 5 minutes after those things were invented how to defeat them. The outside hand grip of your steering...

    2003 suburban coolant hose connector question

    It already broke once. Here's the upgraded metal version that will save you a few bucks. This is what I bought for my 02 pickup. it SHOULD BE the same one. Dorman 800-409HP I bought a fuel line disconnect kit off amazon. This thing was $8. I don't recall the size off hand, but it was...

    07+ Brake upgrade on a 00-06 NBS, is it worth it?

    No, "brake pads squeezed do not give off gas that mitigates pad to rotor pressure." - When brake pads get so hot the materials in them start to melt, then they give off gas. This does not happen every time you brake, or every time you drive. Actually during "longer emergency braking...

    Castrol GTX 20W50

    I didn't watch the video, but the viscosity and the oil weight has to do with it's thickness. It's sized because of the tolerances in the engine specifically for that clearance. 5w30, is the recommended. 10w30 is an option depending on the temperature and wear. 20w50 is too much of a...

    2004 Tahoe Overheating

    240F is something that shouldn't have gone on long term. I would check the clutch fan. I've had a bad mechanic that didn't know, but the clutch fan has a shim. If they replaced it, and didn't replace/use that shim, then your fan will not operate properly. Sitting in hot traffic might be...

    Unable to read OBD2 scanner.

    SO THIS IS FOR MY 02, and 02-03 they had the most changes in the NBS model. I can not confirm if this is the same as yours or not. The wires might be the same. You should be able to see which pins are use, and find the wire color behind the pins. If they match up as this, they are...

    New with a question!

    Any NBS HD has a 2" body lift because of larger body frame mounts. I would bet that the HD guard is designed to sit those 2" higher than where the 1500/ non-HD would be. I would guess besides looking off, it would sit right in the way of the headlights and give you some missing beam spread...

    Need your break-in skills 2003 Chevy 4x4 Sierra.

    This is already childish, but WTH. So you called me a liar, said I was making this up yesterday, and: 1. That's ME insulting YOU? 2. You seemed to have learned a lot about this since yesterday. Breaking their regulators, wait, so you didn't when you tried to break yours, and you don't know...
