    Kinked Nylon Fuel Line

    Greetings from Chattanooga, TN, to my fellow Tahoe fans! I was hoping one of you guys can offer some advice on a problem I encountered while removing my gas tank. I noticed the nylon section of fuel hose from the pump to the fuel filter got bent and kinked when I dropped the tank to replace the...

    Can't get tank out to replace fuel pump '96 Tahoe 4-door 4x4

    AAAAAHHHHHRRRRRGGGGG!!!!! I've been wrestling around on my back underneath my truck for a couple of days now, trying to drop the gas tank so I can replace the fuel pump. It seems my Tahoe was built AROUND the fuel tank, because it won't come out. I've done just like the you-tube videos...

    Column Shifter

    Hey Sam, if you install this part, lemme know how difficult it was to do, where you found instructions, and of course, whether or not it solved your problem. If I get to it first, I'll do the same for you... Steve '96 Tahoe LS 4dr, 4wd, auto., 182K mi. & '99 Tahoe LT 4dr, 4wd, auto., 232k mi...

    Column Shifter

    RE: Column Shifter Hard to Move I posted a similar concern with my 1999 Tahoe a couple of days ago, and think I found the part needed to fix the problem. It's called the 'steering column shift control mechanism', and 1A Auto Parts has 'em for $106.95(aftermarket). Here's the description...

    Column Mounted Shifter Hard to Move

    I just purchased a used '99 Tahoe 4-dr with 232k miles on it. It has automatic transmission and push button 4WD. I noticed the column shifter is very hard to move out of and into "P", and fairly stiff through the rest of the gears as well. My '96 Tahoe doesn't have this problem. I'm worried that...

    spider injectors

    Thanks Sunlit Comet, but as it's not leaking, I'm not replacing the lower intake manifold gaskets at this time. Will need some time to work up to that... Any idea how critical it will be if some of the crud I described previously winds up in the combustion chamber? ---------- Post added at...

    spider injectors

    Hello from Chattanooga... I'm replacing my injector spider with the upgrade and finally have the old unit sitting on my work bench. My question is, what is the best way to get the gooey, gritty carbon build up out of the injector holes without pushing all that crud into the combustion chamber...

    Hard to start

    Traveling at 65 mph in my 1996 Tahoe 4x4 with 4L60E, 3:42 gears, cruise control turned on, a/c turned off, running 265-75-R16 Michelin tires @40psi, burning 87 octane 100% gas with NO ETHANOL in a bone-stock engine, I consistently get 20-21 mpg round trip between Chattanooga and Warm Springs...

    Hard to start

    After my Tahoe sits for a few days, it takes 1/2 dozen attempts to start, sometimes more. When it finally does start, it does so in a halting, stumbling manner but smooths out pretty as you please in a few moments. I test drove with fuel gauge attached and found fuel pressure to be about 50-52...
