    05 Tahoe Steering issues

    That alingment was done sometime last year and I did not hang onto that I do not think. I would have to check at the house after work today.

    05 Tahoe Steering issues

    Did you notice any issues with the steering after installing this valve? I ordered one and it just came in. I don't want to install it if it will cause another problem. Also, is there only one place this valve can go?

    05 Tahoe Steering issues

    Thanks for the reply. I can't really say about the turning radius. It has been like this since I bought the Tahoe. Is the picture the correct way or incorrect way. I am pretty sure I have read that same post but I will check it out again just in case. I don't do much highway driving with it...

    05 Tahoe Steering issues

    I have read most of the threads on steering looking for my exact issue. My issue is not that the front end parts are loose. Everything has been replaced. But it is hard to keep it tracking straight like any other GM vehicle I have had. For instance if I am driving down the road and I cough...

    Low oil pressure chime

    I always replace the oil pump. I have had 4 different 5.3 engines do this and it has always been the o-ring for me. I normally change that and the oil pump as well as the timing chain because I am already in there so why not. I see where people say they just take the front cover off but I...

    05 Tahoe Z71 transmission issues

    I have done TH350s and TH400s. Never a 4L60e though. Just not sure if I should order a factory rebuild or try to improve anything. This is just a family SUV and occasional off road for camping and hunting.

    05 Tahoe Z71 transmission issues

    So does anyone have any experience with the "Monster in a box" kits? I thought about getting the kit with the 5 pinion planetary gears.

    05 Tahoe Z71 transmission issues

    Guys... That isn't the news I wanted but the news I figured I would get. In the past I have always lost 4th, then 3rd, then 2nd and that is what I was expecting.

    05 Tahoe Z71 transmission issues

    I have a 2005 Tahoe with the 4L60E. Normally everything works fine. The transmission doesn't seem to slip and the fluid looks okay. Recently though when I come to a stop light or stop sign and then get ready to take off the Tahoe does not move and the engine revs up and I hear a gear grinding...

    5.3 pushrod wear

    I have built quite a few SBC engines as well as old Pontiac engines. I see a common issue and I wonder if anyone has seen the same. On an old flat tappet cam the lobes are machined to allow the lifter to spin. Which in turn causes the pushrod to spin. I keep seeing bad wear on 5.3 engines I...
