    Rear brake line flare diameter??

    Hey wussup, I'm needing to know the size to use for the flaring tool. Im at 5/16 but seems like 1/4 fits a little better? Just putting the connecter pieces on there. Any clue?? Thanx

    05 Tahoe rough idle and spark issue?

    Found out that one of my spark plugs wires was arching off the blocc because of a rip in the insulation of the wire where it connects to the plug!! Well, for now that is. Now I've gotta leak or something on the hard brake line under the driver side. So I'm just going to cut it at the break spot...

    05 Tahoe rough idle and spark issue?

    How ya doin? I've got an 05 Tahoe that used to run great. But recently it's been having some issues starting and now it's running like I'm missing a cylinder or something. When she starts, she's running perfect for about 2 minutes, then she would start idling rough, almost bogging. When I put...

    Tahoe and Yukon front diff

    The Yeah the one with the actuator is from the yukon. The tahoe doesn't have one and it is AWD. The yukon is 4×4. So it will prolly NOT engage huh? Yeah, I've got it on and ready to test but kinda nervous. yeah, the yukon is an 03" and Tahoe's an 04. Can't really afford to have a shop tell me...

    Top or bottom?

    Quic question....would it be easier to drop the engine and trans from the bottom or pull it out up top? Im leaning towards dropping out from the bottom cuz it looks like there's more room and easier. But I would like some insight on what you guys think. Let me know bro

    Tahoe and Yukon front diff

    Hey my front diff on my 05 tahoe started making that whining and howling noise. I took the one on my 03 Yukon n put it on. Haven't started it yet, but about to. I noticed the diff on the yukon has a solenoid or something. I already put it on the tahoe n left the plug, un plugged. Could someone...

    04 Tahoe high oil pressure when accelerating and noticable loss of power.

    Yeah. Figured tranny wasn't really messing with the engine oil pressure. But now my front diff is howling and screeching and grinding. So I was gonna put diff from my Yukon in the tahoe. And I'mma end up putting the yukon motor n tranny into the tahoe. Oh boy, not looking forward to it, tho...

    Bad rear or tranny??

    Found out the rear driver side caliper was missing the bottom bolt somehow. So when I'd reversed it would flip up and make the wheel stop completely. But when I go forward, it'd go bacc in place. So I just replaced the bolt and all done. That was too easy, so of course, something else messes up...

    05 Tahoe and 03 Yukon swap

    Yeah I prolly will get another shop opinion. The trans cooling line that goes into the trans got stepped on. I didn't know that had caused tranny fluid to leak at that spot. Driveway is gravel so it's pretty hard to see much. But one day it started to struggle just to run. Felt like I was...

    Bad rear or tranny??

    Hey there, I gotta 04 Tahoe and yesterday I went to reverse and it went about a foot then just abruptly stopped. Felt like I hit something, but no. I put it in drive and it went a few feet with little grinding noise. But I managed to get home. Very ruff ride. Bit as o right now, it seems like...

    05 Tahoe and 03 Yukon swap

    Hey bro, I gotta 04 Tahoe, 5.3. I've lose my 3rd gear. Sux really bad. I just bought an 03 Yukon with same motor. I'm wanting to take motor and trans outta the Yukon n put both into the Tahoe. What I'm needing to know is can I bring both trans and engine out without sperating them? If...

    04 Tahoe high oil pressure when accelerating and noticable loss of power.

    Yeah. I've got o2 sensor malfunction but that wouldn't make it do what it's doing tho.... right... I put more tranny fluid in and got my reverse working and it goes except seems like 3rd or 2nd and 3rd tend to catch late and when they don't catch on I've noticed the oil pressure gauge also...

    04 Tahoe high oil pressure when accelerating and noticable loss of power.

    It was a little low but not too much. You think that tranny fluid level effects the motor oil pressure? I'm pretty sure it's not just the sensor cuz it's running kinda crappy. It feels like I'm pulling a load that's too heavy, when Im not pulling anything. U know?
