    '98 Tahoe Mystery Oil Leak

    Yeah checking it with a mirror is a great idea. Definitely hard to get to though with the distributor sitting right there. Might need to remove the hood to get a clear line of sight. In terms of contacting the supplier, I have not. I don't suspect an issue with the motor itself. A lot of stuff...

    '98 Tahoe Mystery Oil Leak

    I have a '98 2-door Tahoe, and have some oil leaking from the motor. Due to a blown head gasket a little while back, I put in a brand new 5.7 crate motor about 5,000 miles ago. The new engine runs amazing and if it weren't for leaving evidence in every spot the truck has been parked in, you'd...

    T-Case Oil Leak Puzzle

    Hey drakon, In answer to your questions, the fluid that's made a nice stripe under the truck is not u-joint grease. It's just not thick enough. The fluid that's leaking is definitely runny and is T-case oil, not grease. It's also not the output housing that's cracked. For starters, yes there...

    T-Case Oil Leak Puzzle

    Follow-on: Did some more research. Seems that some yolks are vented and other are non-vented. Now since I never had this problem until I changed the yolk, is it possible that the guy I brought this to put in a vented yolk when it should be non-vented? Also, the rear output shaft seal has a...

    T-Case Oil Leak Puzzle

    Hello all, I currently drive a '98 2-dr Tahoe, Z71. The T-Case in the truck is a NVG246 (RPO NP8), and before anyone asks, yes it has blue Auto-Trak II fluid in it. Anyway, I had a bad vibration around 60 mph, so I took the driveshaft in and had it balanced with new universals and a new...

    Where to find custom wheel studs

    Hi all, I have a '98 2-door Tahoe, 4WD, Z71. I recently bought some new wheels for the truck that are thicker than the originals. Had them put on and the mechanic had a fit that the lug wasn't grabbing enough of the wheel stud. Says there's only 5-6 threads grabbing the stud, and that it was...

    Engine Misfire Mystery. Please Help.

    I drive a '98 Tahoe 2DR 4WD with the 350 Vortec. For a few weeks I've had the check engine light on. Code reader says it's a cylinder 4 misfire. Truck shakes pretty good when idling, and smooths out when over about 1200 rpm. So far I've changed the spark plug, spark plug wire, distributor...

    Wheel Offsets????? HELP!

    I have a '98 Tahoe 2dr sport, and I'm looking to purchase some new wheels. I believe that the standard OE wheels have an offset of ET22. What range of offset can I get away with for the new wheels? For example, would an offset of -15 or an offset of 35 fit? (Just random numbers). At what point...

    Differential Swap

    Yes both are 10 bolt. And they can be swapped. Everything fits. I'm just concerned about the larger brakes on the suburban axle causing problems while stopping. The wider brake pads will mean more brake contact surface. Don't want the back end to lockup very time I come into a stop light.

    Differential Swap

    I have a 98 Tahoe Sport. Needed a new differential so I dropped the whole old rear end out. It is a 3.73 ratio with limited slip. Had trouble finding a new differential, but I got a 98 Suburban differential. Same deal. 3.73 ratio and limited slip. ARE THEY COMPATIBLE???? I know the suburban has...

    Tahoe Sport Grille Replacement

    Hello, I have a 2 door 98 Tahoe LS Sport. I'm looking for a replacement grille. Several grilles I've found, however, mention they do not fit the sport model. Is this true? If so, why? Where can I find a new grille? I'm not looking for anything custom or special. Just your generic grill, but...
